My Single Daddy Alpha Chapter 38
The problem with only feeling safe when Bratt was nearby meant that ninety percent of my life was still woefully devoid of him.I’d spent the week looking over my shoulder. I’d thought the comfort and intimacy I’d shared with Bratt would be enough to make me feel invincible against Wyatt. But the more time I spent away from Bratt, the less I was able to calm myself down.I had been jumpy all week. Whatever time I didn’t spend trying to control my urge to text and call Bratt every waking moment, I spent examining every shadow in the corner of my eye and checking all my locks too many times to count.Part of me wanted to ask Bratt if I could stay at his place again, if for nothing else but to get a good night’s sleep. But things were still so new, and I didn’t want to confuse Noah and risk him telling the other children at school about his dad and the teacher being boyfriend and girlfriend. Not only that, but part of me feared that coming on too strong too fast would make it so that he

“You all right?” Travis asked me as we drove over to the new office building. There wasn’t much left to do by way of demolition, so I was bringing Travis in to go over the budget for the infrastructure in the office: hardwood floors, cabinetry, swatches—stuff like that.“I’m fine,” I said. “Just been a stressful couple of weeks.”“Yeah, no kidding,” Travis said. “What even happened that night at the carnival? Lana and Paulette seemed to know something, but they wouldn’t tell me.”“It’s Marley’s business, and I don’t want to divulge information she might not be ready to share,” I said.“Fair enough,” Travis said as he pulled down the road our new building was on. “I wasn’t trying to pry.”“Nah, I know. How are things going with Lana?” I asked, trying my best to change the subject. “Did you pass quality control?”“I think so?” He sighed. “To be entirely honest, Lana’s kinda tough. Like I’m not trying to get into her pencil skirt or anything, but she treats me like I am all the time. Som

Noah was going to be okay. They found him, and they were bringing him back. I still had a reckoning coming my way for letting two children wander away, but thank God, they were both okay. I didn’t know if I could ever have forgiven myself if something had happened to them—not just because of Bratt or Hannah’s parents, but because I would have failed at the fundamental responsibility I had as a teacher: protecting the children.The tears streaming down my face wouldn’t stop, though. I’d failed by even letting kids wander away like this. I’d gotten lucky they didn’t go far. I’d gotten lucky that they walked into a police station instead of somewhere awful, but the fact remained that they’d walked away in the first place, and that was wholly on me.I heard the door open behind me and looked over my shoulder at Bratt.Guilt gnawed at my intestines. I thought I might vomit. I looked away from him to hide how ashamed I was of myself.He sat down next to me and heaved a long, tired sigh.“Ma

BrattI took Noah directly home after we talked things out with the police and faculty at the library. My rage had ebbed pretty quickly once I was holding Noah in my arms, but I knew I’d have to deal with some emotional fallout later.I needed to switch Noah over to another class, both for his sake and Marley’s. I didn’t want her to have to see me every day while we were both nursing broken hearts. I didn’t want to deprive Noah of having his dad drop him off at school, either.I considered that we might be better off getting a homeschool instructor for him and structuring a play-date schedule of some kind for him to help him get his socialization in.When we got home, I talked to Noah about the changes that would be coming down the turnpike for him—for us.“Listen, buddy,” I said to him as he munched on dino nuggets. “Marley won’t be coming over for a while after today, okay?”He stopped mid-bite and put his nugget down on the plate, his head tilting to the side like a confused puppy.

“To men being absolute babies!” Paulette said as she lifted her fourth glass of wine.“To parents who think we’re all incompetent assholes,” Lana said dryly as she raised her own.“To TSA agents that take your two-hundred-dollar skin-care product and toss it in the fucking garbage,” Jack chimed in.I giggled at all of their lamenting toasts as I lifted my own glass, my face flushed from the alcohol. I was finally starting to feel a little better. I didn’t want to bury myself in the ground and become a tree anymore.“To friends who don’t let you wallow in self-pity,” I said before clinking my glass with all of theirs.We all drank, and as Lana took her glass away from her mouth, she pointed a finger at me. “You cheated—we were toasting complaints.”“Sorry, I’m having a hard time finding my sour mood now that Jack is here,” I said. “Also, I’m pretty wine drunk, so if you want me to sulk, you’re going to have to put some food in me.”“Fuck, I keep forgetting to order the pizza,” Paulette

BrattThe week went from bad to worse. If it wasn’t the fight with Travis, it was little fires going on with my clients. If it wasn’t that, it was Noah giving me a silent treatment his biological mother would be proud of. If it wasn’t Noah’s silent treatment, it was the nagging feeling that I was missing something.I couldn’t tell if it was the general feeling of missing Marley or if I was just feeling off-kilter because my kid refused to talk to me. But I had the nagging feeling in the back of my mind that there was something I was forgetting or not understanding.I’d had similar feelings before when I was with Noah’s mother. Feelings I’d ignored because I was so smitten with her. But they ceased as soon as we broke up, and she left our lives in a more permanent fashion. This was the opposite. The longer I was away from Marley, the more confused and agitated I felt.I stayed stuck in this muck of my own making until a few days after the incident at the library.Sylvia had just gone d

Bratt. Too many drinks later, I stumbled out of a cab down the long driveway in front of my house. Travis and I had talked through everything and were back to being almost brothers by the end of the night. I was truly lucky to have him as a friend. I’d been stupid to ever feel doubtful of our bond because of Wyatt’s manipulations. I used the biometric scanner with some difficulty and stumbled into my home, down the hall, and into my bed. In my half-drunk stupor, I thought about Marley. That sweet seduction when she rode my cock like it was her goddamned job. I missed her. I wanted her. I needed her. I hoped she’d forgive me for being an idiot. Not only because the sex I’d had with her was amazing but because I’d fallen for her. As had Noah. Noah deserved a mother like Marley—and maybe I was worthy of a woman like Marley, too. Still, something nagged in the back of my mind. It had been since that day at the library, but I’d not been able to quantify just what it was. It sort of fe

“Do you have everything?” I asked my brother as he got out of my car.“If I don’t, I’ll be back in a couple of months with Mom and Dad and get it then.”I grimaced for the umpteenth time, and he gave me a bland look.“Marley, I’m telling you. It will be good for the whole family. Mom and Dad need to see how they fucked up, and they need to see what it can look like when shifters and humans actually co-exist so they don’t just wind up on the wrong side of history forever.”“Yeah, yeah,” I relented. “But don’t you dare back out at the last minute and leave me alone in this.”“I would never dream of it,” he said before leaning in through my window to kiss my cheek. “Call me when you get home safe.”“That’s my line. Call me when you land.”“Will do. Love you, Marmalade.”“Love you!”I watched him walk into the airport before pulling away from the drop-off zone.It really had been a boon to go to the spa over the last few days. Between all the mud baths and eucalyptus scrubs, I’d done a wh
