As soon as Camen heard Alex's voice, he froze in hopes that Alex had not misheard what he had said to Kylie. Camen swallowed deeply, then grinned at Alex.
"I meant that, she shouldn't tell you that Nova was intimate with her mate when we fetched her" Camen lied aimlessly.
Alex balled his fist, hating the idea of seeing Nova with someone else. Alex turned to go, but Camen grabbed his arm instead.
"I have something to tell you and it's about Maia, my mate. Will she be able to stay in the palace?"
Alex nodded and shot him a glare. He walked into his room and slammed the door.
"Why, just why! Why did Camden deceive me? The good news is that Nova is single again, but why did Camen lie to me?" Alex muttered to himself.
He was filled with rage; his reliable beta had betrayed him, and he wondered why. At that very moment, he knew Camen would have made up a new lie if he had asked.
