  • Alpha Zayne's Regret   Chapter 39

    Marissa Jane became a little more relaxed after drawing. She still didn't talk much and didn't look anyone in the eye for long but at least she stopped staring at her shoes all the time and even managed to laugh at a few jokes albeit quietly. We sat around the dining table in the kitchen eating spaghetti and meatballs. I'd made some ice cream and chocolate brownies the day before so we had that for dessert along with apple slices. I chatted with the kids as we ate. Being a mom of toddlers taught you important skills like holding a conversation with kids and only managing to roll your eyes a few times while at it. The chatting was mostly for Jane's benefit. I tried to get her to talk more. About her home, school, pets,.. Anything. But she was pretty tight lipped on all fronts while favoring me with a polite smile every now and then. Once or twice, I caught Zayne just staring at all of us with a warm, tender look in his eyes. The third time, his eyes caught mine and he smil

    Marissa I hummed happily to myself as I stirred the boiling pot of tomato sauce. Spaghetti and meatballs was always a winner. Kids loved it, adults loved it. It was the ultimate dish for any occasion. Birthdays, weddings, when your kids were sick, when your parents were coming to visit, and…..when your boyfriend was coming over for the first time. Zayne hadn't asked for spaghetti and meatballs. He hadn't asked for any specific dish or that I cook at all. But he was coming over with his daughter, Jane. Kids needed to eat at least and I'd stocked up on cookies and candy just in case she refused the food. I would've preferred a visit with just the two of us, Zayne and I. I'd already asked Bree to baby sit and although she pouted and whined about it, she agreed. But Zayne had insisted on me meeting Jane so here we were. " Mummy, mummy, mummy…" Ashlynn tugged at my green striped apron. I looked down at her. “Tasties." She stretched out her palm. I smiled as I blew on the s

    Elias “Heard you were up and about. Glad to see it." Kimara fell into step beside me. I shrugged, “Needed some fresh air." I'd been out of the pack house for over thirty minutes. The walk through town was doing wonders for my peace of mind. Knowing Kimara, she'd trailed me the whole way and only chose to make her presence known now. “Good call. How long are you staying?" " Tired of me already?” " Not at all, Beta. That was not my…." She hurriedly began to add. “I know. I'm messing with you." I snorted in response and took in a deep lungful of air. " Smell that? Muffins. Strawberry muffins. Wanna head to the bakery?” " Errr …hmm. I'm not in the mood for pastries now Beta. I have um, important things to do." She said haltingly. I heard the end of that sentence she didn't add; And so do you. “Just one muffin, Kimara. It won't kill you." “It might." She sniffed, “Besides we're going searching again today. The file I left you…” " Screw the file “ I muttered under my breath. "

    Elias Someone was driving a jackhammer through my head while another took a baseball bat to the headboards repeatedly. I groaned in frustration and anger, trying to fight them both off but my limbs were made of jelly. Then a low vibration began and I cracked my eyes open. Judging by the blinding rays of sunlight coming in through the parted curtains, it had been morning for quite some time. The vibration started again. My phone. The rapping on the headboards turned out to be someone frantically knocking at my room door. " Elias! If you don't answer I'm going to break this door down!” I groaned as the jackhammering in my head started up again. That bartender's son had some terrifying skills with alcohol. " Elias!” " Whosit?” I mumbled. I was sprawled on the floor with my head on the sofa, clad in the same pajama bottoms from the previous day. All around me lay empty, unlabeled bottles of heavy liquor. Custom made. I'd called the bartender with an instruction; " Tell your

    Marissa Zayne had the gall to look affronted by my outburst. " What was what about?” " My boyfriend? Really?” I folded my arms. " Oh. Look, I'm sorry about that but I needed some sort of, I don't know, credibility with the doctor.” He shrugged, running his right hand through his hair. " No you didn't. You should've just let me handle things. Why do men have to find a way to take control of situations?!” I threw my hands up in frustration. " Marissa come on, this isn't about that at all. I wasn't trying to take control of anything. I promise.” He reached for my hand but I slapped him away. " Doesn't matter what you were trying to do. You don't just blurt out that you're my boyfriend when you aren't. We've only been on one date for crying out loud.” " Does it really feel that way for you?” He cocked his head to the side, voice gentle and Imploring. “What?" “Does it really feel like one date to you?" “I…." I stared up into his blue eyes, allowing them to draw me in.
