Torak took a deep breath and spoke out in a notch above a whisper. "I love you, Zael."
The words flew out of the alpha's mouth without reticence of any sort. Zael stared directly at Faila, to catch a glimpse of the reaction in her face.
He wished to confirm whether or not her intentions were similar to the ones that Amarie had in the other life. To his expectations, Faila's face turned pale. She looked as though she had seen a ghost. Faila glanced over at Torak with despondency in his eyes.
Zael glowered at her. All the while his eyes were clouded by her soft tone of voice and kind actions for him to see what her true intentions were.
His anger burnt his skin, his blood boiled at how ignorant he had been as to be blinded by Faila's lies. To be unable to tell the difference between her kindness and truth.
