Chapter 50
Kai POV
I sighed and put my head in my hands. Winter’s been entrusted to Langdon, so I should feel relieved, but if
anything, I’m even more nervous. We haven’t been able to find the culprit who deliberately increased Winter’s
morphine and tried to kill her. Nobody saw anything, which means the person responsible had to have been in and out of her room within seconds. It was infuriating not being able to get the information I required. As Alpha it was my
responsibility to find the person responsible.
I wonder how Langdon’s getting on. I know he wasn’t pleased with me when I demanded that he take Winter in
and become his ward, but what else am I supposed to do? It’s not like I can take her in. I can’t help but remember the look in her eyes when I apologized for kissing her. How hurt she looked, as though I’d betrayed her and the guilt was slowly eating me inside. Why had I done that? I could have just said nothing, instead of breaking her heart the way!
