Capítulo 194: Chapter 194 A Harmless Kitten

••• Maximillian’s POV •••

For some reason, I felt a bit of stabbing pain in my heart when I heard Arra say ‘I’ll never fall in love with you’ and locked the bedroom door behind me.

Was the pain just an illusion?

Because I couldn’t be heartbroken over a woman!

I attributed it to the fact that my ego as a male Alpha was being challenged, and of course, I would feel unhappy when someone, especially a woman, challenged me.

“This is just a contract marriage. What we have is fake. We are only in a contract marriage,” I muttered and reminded myself repeatedly as I went to the living room.

She wasn't my fated mate and, at best, was only a bedmate for me, so there was nothing to be angry about.

I sat on the living room couch and poured myself a drink.

Just my luck, Jaxon came into the living room to see me brooding.

“She locks you out?” he asked in surprise as he saw the drink, the pillow, and the blanket.

I ignored him and kept drinking.
