A small smile lined the corner of Alpha Denzel's lips. It was true from Valerie's words that she had fought with Adira, but Alpha Denzel only trained Adira for what he wanted of her.
If he had trained her physically like the likes of Godic, then she would have killed Valerie when she had the chance. Even before finding out about Adira's secret calls and lies, Alpha Denzel's instincts never allowed him to give her too much.
He always held back from teaching her everything. His guilt of not teaching Adira everything vanished when he found out about her affair with Alpha Idris. Since then, he treaded with greater caution, uncovering more of her secrets.
The only thing he didn't know was her love for him, but even that was questionable. If she loved him, then why did she kill that wolf? Alpha Denzel was still puzzled about it. He wasn't obliged to answer Valerie but didn't know why he did so.
