"Kate has been working as my secretary. Though I hadn't met her before this, in this short time I've come to admire her," Sage said smoothly, keeping his tone respectful. "Your Majesty, I believe your daughter and I can grow stronger together her success will be mine, and mine will be hers. I'm aware she has reservations about alpha wolves, but I'll make sure she sees how worthy of love I can be."
Raidan's sharp gaze narrowed. "Did my daughter tell you she dislikes alphas?"
"Yes," Sage replied without hesitation, deliberately letting the Alpha King know about it. Then, with calmness, he added, "Did His Majesty not know? Perhaps she likes a beta… or an omega. If that's the case, I will not stand in her way. I would step back rather than force what her heart doesn't want."
"No, that's not true," Raidan cut in firmly, his tone leaving no room for doubt. "She is simply adamant about not marrying you. The truth is, Sage, she does not like you."
