A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) A night out of town
Avery Hawke Across the street from Avery's patrol car, the camry sat idly. It was the same car from three days ago and yesterday. They weren't trying to discreet this time.Elise Reign was following him. What the f*ck did she want? Her mere presence was infuriating. Geoff, Avery's partner, was still around, so Avery continued to pretend that she wasn’t there. Maybe he should call Sara. Tell her that her son’s grandmother was in town. He doubted any of those warriors knew their Luna had been in and out all week. Everyone was focused on the newfound heir. But what would calling Sara achieve? It could lead to spilling a secret he wasn't ready to share with any soul.As he thought about Sara and her child, his irritation rose. That sweet little boy could've continued his peaceful life with his mother and grandpa. Now he had to endure mommy-daddy drama plus troubles with their stupid pack. Sara said little about her relationship with the father. But it was easy to guess that the male wa
A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) Love and more
CassieThe alpha hadn't spoken a word to Cassie since she got into his car. He'd taken two phone calls, which the conversation sounded similar to the one he had in his office that day. She recalled how that few minutes in his office had made her follow him to this shabby town.As they entered the restaurant, he moved absently to the seat beside the large glass window. But he didn't take his seat. Instead, he stood looking at that lowly she-wolf. Yeah, that was her alright. The one with the pup. Sara James.Cassie had done her homework. Then she'd fallen ill from learning the alpha's little secret. She was contending with two: an omega and her child."Alpha?"He didn't seem to hear her. His focus was still on the trio at the driveway outside"Alpha?" Cassie called again."Yeah?" He turned a sharp gaze towards her. "Yes.""Do you know them?" She asked nonchalantly."Yeah. They're people of the town. Working with Reigns on the project." He sat down but only for a moment.As he started to
A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) The son's counsel
Avery Hawke"Who told you to call him that? He's not your uncle!"Newsflash, fucker! Avery stood watching father and son. The little boy looked so confused by his father's hostile tone.It was the first time Avery stood a few feet close to Nickolas Reign since he began his project here.The child started to speak again."He's..." but trailed off.The look on his father’s face must've terrified him to silence.Innocent eyes moved from Nick to Avery to his mother."Did he ask you to call him that?" Nick asked.Avery wanted to join the heart to heart when Sara spoke."No, he did not! He calls Jake and Rich uncle too. Did you tell him to call them that or did they?"Her tone matched the hostility in her ex's face. Avery found this more pleasing than anything else he'd encountered this past week."Jake and Richard ARE his uncles!" Nick countered. "Those two are closer than a brother could ever be. Surely, you understand these things, Sara." "Well, Avery's close to us too," Sara returned
A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) Night till day
Nick POVStop being an idiot! My son's simple advice. If only there was a manual describing how. It's not like I could turn back time.As I poured the ice-cold vodka down my throat, I thought of how we got here and all that has happened between Sara and I. I imagined where we could be if I'd acted differently in the past.It was now past midnight. Alex was sound asleep. I decided I needed some fresh . But as I sauntered through the woods, my feet carried me towards Sara’s.She probably wasn't home. Maybe she was spending the night with Sergeant Brave. Why was I doing this to myself? I wondered. What could I achieve if not more heartache? But I couldn’t stop myself from spying on her.As I stood by a tree behind the short house, I could tell she was in there. Awake. The fact that she was home and not with the sergeant didn't mean anything. She was with him now.But what if I entered her room through that window? One of two things would happen. I stood there fantasizing that I did. She
A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) The hunting Pt. 1
The only response that came from the gamma who should be watching my kid was the sound of her heart slamming in her chest. Mine did the same as I stared at her in horror. At the same time, Alex’s teacher was walking by. When she saw me at the gate, she broke into a welcoming smile and approached. "Mister Reign, what a nice surprise! Good morning." "Good morning, Mrs. Bright," I forced myself to return her smile as I waited for her to give me the news. "Miss James said there's a family emergency. I hope it's not serious," she said. "She did, huh?" "Yeah. She picked Alex up this morning." "Ah..." I nodded like I knew what she was talking about. No cause for panic. They're together, mother and child. "What time this morning?" I glanced around at Lindsey and her partner again. They stood outside the car now. "Nine... ish," replied the teacher. Her voice was hesitant, and I reverted my gaze to her. Fear had replaced the earlier cheerfulness on her face as she regarded me. Did I
A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) The hunting Pt. 2
That was my son's jacket between the man's fist. I knew he had come with a message, so I tried to reign in on my rage. But I couldn't help it. I wanted him to feel pain for being involved. As I pushed him, Richard and Gerrard appeared in an instant to stop me from doing further harm. I watched as the man went down, bouncing a few times on the rocky floor. A small tree stopped him from rolling farther away from us.Gerrard, Rich's guy, stood in front of me to prevent me from going to the man. It was Richard who went close, pulling him up by his shirt's collar. The small piece of fabric that was my son's jacket laid a few feet away. That was how he had lured me here. Was this a trap? I wished to Goddess that it was. My claws and teeth needed some good work. Gerrard tried to stop me as I reached for the cloth. I shoved him aside and bent to retrieve it like it was precious and breakable.“Who are they and what do they want?” Richard asked the man gently.“If he triples the offer, they
A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) The rescue
Sara POVJudging from Wide mouth’s restlessness and how red the back of his neck got earlier, I knew he was talking to someone of greater authority. Male werewolves couldn’t help that reaction around another angry male of a much higher rank.I caught the words "your whore and heir," which gave me the clue that he was talking to Nick. Moments after, they brought the phone to me but didn't even let me talk to him. Now, I was holding on the fact that the alpha would come for his child. He had to. It didn’t matter what happened to me as long as Alex got rescued.Oh, but the sound of his voice had comforted me deeply. So much more than I expected. But I would give anything to have Alex in my arms right now.Thick neck had gone to the other room with the phone. Wide mouth still stood near the window, occasionally glancing my way. He had become much more restless after the call with Nick. An odd contrast to the earlier smugness when he announced delightedly that "the alpha said please."I s
A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) In the Alpha's lair
Alex sat with his favorite teddy clutched to his chest, allowing Doctor Raul to do his thing. On the other side of the room, a nurse treated my bruises, which was taking forever to heal.The ointment stung a bit, but the pain didn’t feel like mine. I was focused on the little boy a few feet away. He didn’t look like we’d just been to hell and back.Moments later, the doctor breathed a deep, satisfactory sigh. A signal that he was done with the child. Pushing the nurse’s hand away from my face, I stood up to go to him as he sat back like all of this was normal.There was no trace of fear in his eyes anymore. Looking at him, no one would ever guess what had happened to us earlier.Doctor Raul started to speak.“He’s alright. No injuries whatsoever!”Whatsoever? I wanted to ask. Including emotional or mental injury?“You, on the other hand, need to get properly checked out, Miss James! Alpha Nick ordered me to look at the both of you, not just the child!”“I’m good, doctor, honest. The b
