Jaclyn’s eyes flutter in bed and looking around, she sees Ken is no longer on it with her. She wonders how long she’s been asleep and why Ken didn’t think to wake her. Her eyes strain a little, an effect of dream walking, but she rubbed them tenderly and pulled herself into a sitting position." As she regains more consciousness, she can smell the aroma of pancake and beef coming from the kitchen and her stomach growl. She gets down from the bed and races downstairs to where the kitchen is.  She finds Ken in a black singlet and a white apron tied to his neck. He’s standing before the drying pan with a bowl of red meat in it. She waltzes over to him, wrapping her arms around his midsections and feeling the muscles built up there. She pressed small kisses all over his arm and upper shoulder, and she felt him shudder against her in return.  “Good morning. You were sleeping soundly when I left the bed. I didn’t want to wake you, so I thought I would make

Jaclyn and Ken stand on the other side of the street, and she stares at the house she once called home. Confusion and scepticism cloud her mind as she thinks of the way forward. They had already planned out everything and Ken promised to have her back, yet her heart panicked at the thought of the step ahead. She has a black furry sweater on, yet she feels cold from the inside out, a reaction caused by fear. She doesn’t want to let Ken see it; they decided together, but the last-minute dilemma did not help. She had almost changed her mind yesterday, but Ken grabbed her by the shoulders, kissed her lips and told her she would be great. Ken then asked if she would come out to her mother about everything, but she told him there was no need to. She then said if she asked, she’d simply find a simpler story to tell. Her stay home would be one of starting over and there was no reason to dig into the past. This, however, is a disaster and her he

“Jaclyn.” the man called out, a small smile coming to his face. “thanks for coming back. Your mother was so worried, and so was I.”  “Why’s that? Why would you be worried about me? You had twenty-one years to worry, but you didn’t, so why start now?” “You’re right, I have no right to be here...” “Yet here you are.” Jaclyn had always hated interrupting people, but something about him made her blood boil. After mama told her about her father, she stayed many nights thinking about what life would have been like with him around. Then she told herself he could be dead or in a terrible shape and that made it hard for him to reach out. Seeing him made her realise it was none of those reasons. He was alive and in good shape and just kept away, and it angered her.  He was a man who played a part in bringing her into this world. The man who left before she was born had and no part with her growing up. “I am sorry for all the years I missed. Fo

Two weeks later,“Jaclyn, we need to leave now,” Diana called to her, gathering the kits and basket they came with for the picnic.Jaclyn held up a hand. “A few minutes, mama, Ken and I are yet to finish our discussion.”She sighed and placed her hands on her waist. “You’ve said that before and we are still here. I’m pretty sure the Millers want to take their son home the same way I want to take you,” she told her in a serious tone.“Come on, mama, just a few minutes,” she whines, turning away from Ken.“You can tell him whatever you want to tell him tomorrow at school.”“But, mama, I might forget.”“Fine, one more minute,” she says, and Jaclyn throws her hand up in the air.“Thank you, mama, love you.”Jaclyn’s eyes fluttered in bed and a rasping cry leaves her mouth, realising this like many other that have followed these past weeks have been n

Hello, I am sorry this isn't an update. I know updates have been very slow with this book, but it will change. Betrayed By The Alpha is very dear to my heart and yes, I paused it because I had a massive block with the storyline also, and I didn't want to write rubbish and ruin your love for the book so far. I would have wrapped it up this month, but last month I began a program in my country. It commenced this month for 21 days and that's what I've been in (I still am here). NYSC is a mandatory program for all new graduates under 30 years old and I barely have my phone. Once that ends I will complete the book. I will begin updates latest by mid-April I will finish it before April ends. I am once again sorry for the delay. I know a lot of you are invested in the book. Thank you for your support so far. Much love
