My Single Daddy Alpha Chapter 52
Iwrapped my arms around myself, trying to hold in the warmth of my body as I stepped outside. The ground was soggy from the torrential rain that had just come through, but the air smelled crisp and refreshing. It always blew my mind how the desert always seemed so barren and devoid of life, yet after a good rain, things always managed to come back to life.Moon Valley was no exception to the rule. Even though it was surrounded by a forest and tucked near the base of the mountains, the trees still suffered when there was a drought. Still, it could have been like Vegas, where instead of evergreens, there was steel and concrete. I could only imagine how Vegas would look under a few feet of water. The last time a monsoon this bad had come through, it damaged a few of the houses here but never touched the city.“And just what do you think you’re doing?”I whipped my head around to find the groundskeeper shaking his fist at me. Vlad had been tending to Harkness Manor since before I was born

CILLIAN “Ican’t believe they would even suggest such a thing. And did you hear them? They made it sound like they weren’t trying to steal your business out from under you,” I growled as I pushed through the side door and stepped out into the warm summer sun. Ciara was on my heels, and I could taste her irritation on my tongue. Every ounce of happiness drained from me as we trudged to the river. It was the only place I could think of to go to have some privacy. I needed fresh air, and to get as far from my parents as possible. I wondered if they’d follow us out, but when I tested the cord that bound me to them, I knew they weren’t stupid enough to talk to me at the moment. “Did you really not know what they were planning?” Ciara asked once we were out of earshot of the manor. I whipped around and grabbed her by the arms. The question stung me, but it was justified. My head shook profusely from side to side. A small part of me was offended that she would ask me such a question after

“You ready?” Cillian asked as he reached for the glass doors to the medical center.A lump of fear formed in my throat, but I nodded. Half of me felt numb like I was walking through a dream. The idea of telling my parents that I was now engaged terrified me.Although I knew everyone in the pack already believed that Cillian and I were fated mates and that this path was inevitable, it didn’t make it any easier for me. I mulled over how I was going to tell my parents about the engagement. But no matter which route I took, it seemed the words refused to come off my tongue.“It’ll be fine,” Cillian whispered as I shoved my left hand into my pocket to keep the ring out of sight. To me, it felt as if I could hide such a thing from the world. Yet, I knew it was only a matter of time before I’d have to use my hand, and then everyone would gravitate to the ring just as they did when it was on Lourdes’s finger.“Maybe we should wait,” I said, glancing over my shoulder.Cillian shook his head, b

CILLIAN What was it about my family that made them get under my skin so easily? Was it because I was the alpha, and they wanted to test my endurance to see how many buttons they could push and get away with? And the fact that they got Evelyn involved! Who did they think they were? Did they think I’d just roll over and take it? Or that Ciara would gladly hand over her company and her career to them? I wanted to fucking break something. I mulled over the punishment I would inflict on my parents for going behind not only my back but Ciara’s as well. It was clear they were stuck in some sort of power struggle. I was almost certain that if my father were alpha, he would have been the one to push the issue sooner. After all, he had a mind for business—anything to make a dollar. My mother, though? I knew she had her hand in the pot, trying to concoct a scheme for us to marry and the companies to merge the second we’d said, “I do”. My nails dug into my palms as I tried to alleviate some o

“Cillian.” I reached out a wary hand hoping to draw him to me. The way he paced the length of Evelyn’s office made me nervous. It was strange to feel him so disconnected. It was as if the world around him was crumbling. I could only assume his anxieties stemmed from the fact that he was a bystander with no legal authority in this case. Cillian had always assumed being alpha meant he would have his hands in everything. But the fact that we weren’t married yet, and Argentum was mine, meant his hands were tied.“Please, sit down,” I said. His lips formed a thin line as he scowled at me. I wagged my hand at him, and he grumbled as he finally crossed the room and stood by my side. Rolling his eyes, he slipped his hand into mine, and I felt the tension rolling off him. He was beyond perturbed by his family, but I couldn’t help but wonder if his anger was misdirected. “You need to sit and listen. I’m not saying you have to like what you hear, but as alpha, you need to be objective and open t

Pov CILLIAN“And make sure you put the data on the flash drives,” Holden said as Ciara pushed through the double glass doors. I walked in behind her and paused at the chaos. The safe house was in disarray, with boxes stacked near the walls.“What’s going on here?” I asked Ella.She flipped her long braids over her shoulder and eyed me. “Have you not seen the news?” Her voice was strained, and her tone snippy. It was clear by the way she scurried about the room that her irritation was at breaking point. It was like watching the water around a river test the levees for a weakness. I didn’t want to be around her when she finally snapped.“Holden,” Ciara called into the small voice box near the stairs.“Thank God you’re here,” Holden’s voice crackled over the speaker. “I’m coming down.”Ciara flashed me an apologetic smile as the stomping of boots reverberated through the stairwell. Holden came rushing out, hair frazzled, glasses askew, and panic etched into his brow. He pushed his glasse

“Do you think it’ll work?” Cillian asked as I leaned forward and slipped the taxi driver his money. “I don’t see why it wouldn’t,” I answered once I was on the pavement. My heart sank the second I saw my home. The red lava rocks lining the driveway looked foreign to me as if someone else had laid them out. “This is your place?” Cillian asked, his eyes widening. “No wonder you didn’t want to leave it. It’s a nice place. What’s with the cacti, though?” “Low maintenance,” I answered as I glanced at the spiny plants under the windowsill. “And since this is a desert, it seemed fitting.” “You know, I always envisioned you in some penthouse in the middle of the city, not out here in the suburbs,” Cillian said as he followed me up the concrete path and into the gated entrance. I glanced over my shoulder and grinned. “Do you think I’m that much of a snob?” “Well, I mean, all I had to go on was the house back home,” Cillian said. I found myself grateful for his discretion. After all, wit

CILLIANSunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a purple glow throughout the room. When I inhaled deeply, I tasted the lavender at the back of my throat. A sleepy smile drifted over my lips as I stretched and rolled over to face Ciara. With her eyes closed and looking so peaceful, I didn’t have the heart to wake her. It seemed like forever since we’d been able to sleep in. While staying at my parents’ place did have some perks, one of the downsides was having to wake up on their schedule.While I didn’t mind waking up at the rising of the sun, or even before it, Ciara had never been a morning person. She loved her lazy Sunday snoozes that kept her in bed till mid-morning. Ciara mumbled quietly under her breath, and no matter how I strained my ears to hear her, I couldn’t.“Hey there, pretty lady,” I whispered as I caressed her cheek gently. Ciara swatted her hand at me as if I were nothing more than an annoying fly buzzing about her head.“Rise and shine,” I said a bit louder,
