Chapter 106 Is That Betrayal ?

• Cayden’s eyes opened slowly to reveal a sterile, white hospital room. His return to consciousness was signaled by the soft beeping of machines and the distant hum of voices. Confusion engulfed his mind as he attempted to recall the events that had led up to his current state. What happened following the fight with Alpha Fred? How did he get here?
• A sharp pain in his neck drew his attention, and his fingers reached instinctively for the source of the pain. His fingertips brush against a raised mark—a bite mark—and he winces as they brush against a tender spot. The realisation struck him like a bolt of lightning. It was a mating bite. It flooded his mind with images of Selena, his captivating mate.
• He remembered being shot by Fred as the last thing he remembered. A rush of surprise and elation coursed through him as his fingers traced the imprint of Selena’s claim. Selena had saved his life and designated him as her mate. The previous night’s memories came flooding back, vivid and passionate. Cayden remembered the intensity of their bond. The electric current that pulsed between them as they surrendered to the primal instinct that held them together. Selena’s bite had not only marked him, but it had also sealed their fate—a bond that would shape the course of their lives for the rest of their lives. He smiled.
