(Rene)

Brynn comes to the study after dark, walking in without knocking.

"I heard you wanted to know about the boy," she says. "Who put him in her."

I set the pen down.

She's been building to something all week, and here it is, dressed up as information I want.

"I got it out of her this afternoon. Took some doing, but anything for my betrothed."

She gives me a fake sympathetic look.

"His father’s name is Parker. Apparently it’s some guy she worked for."

The room goes very quiet.

Parker.

    (Angelique)The door opens without a knock, and I know before I turn around that something's different tonight.He's been cold for days.Controlled.Touching me like it's a favor he's choosing not to do.Not tonight.Tonight he crosses the room like he's come to collect a debt."Take it off," he says. "All of it."I've learned what happens when I'm slow.I shed my clothes in a hurry.He watches every piece hit the floor, and there's nothing lazy in his eyes now.They move over me like he's deciding where to start."You let another man have this."His voice is low and furious. "Years of it."So he thinks he knows where Zack came from.The lie landed.Brynn fed Parker’s name to him, exactly like she promised she would.Parker's a dead man walking now, and I can't even warn him.And here's the part I hate.My body doesn't care about any of that.My body only knows he's close.The bond is already singing a seductive melody.I'm wet before he's laid a finger on me.He breathes in.He can s

Apparently it’s some guy she worked for."The room goes very quiet.Parker.The roadhouse owner.The man asking after me by name.The one working a trail straight to my door, looking for his child and lover.Fury ripples down my spine and my wolf is snarling, demanding to be let out.The thought of some stranger touching Angelique...I asked Cole three days ago whether the boy came from that fucker.I had the question. Now I've got the answer, hand-delivered, with a bow on it."You're sure?""She told me herself. Cried about it. Said he must be so worried about her and Zack. Y

    (Angelique)When the opportunity presents itself, I don’t allow myself to hesitate.The maid’s phone is sitting on the cleaning cart, beckoning to me.The moment she goes into the bathroom, I snatch it soundlessly.I only have a few minutes and I better make them count.I can warn Parker in less time than it would take her to clean the bath.As long as she doesn’t come back out and catch me in the act.This is the first time I don’t have eyes on me since Rene declared I’m not allowed to leave this wing.I have to let Parker know that I put him in terrible danger.Zack’s downstairs. He badgered Cole into taking him outside.The Beta is supposed to be my son’s warden, but I think he’s growing pretty fond of him.Zack has that effect on almost everyone.Rene being the glaring exception.The guard on my door wandered off to hit on one of the other maids, further down the hall.The one cleaning in here has her earbuds in.The house forgot about me for ten seconds and I can’t let them go to

    (Rene)"You scowl like your mother. She scowled at me daily, near the end."My father doesn't rise when I come in.He stopped rising for people around the time they stopped rising for him."Father."I take the chair across from him, because standing over him reads as a challenge, and we don't challenge each other.Not in the open, where the pack would see.Very rarely in here, where it's just the two of us and a lifetime of things we leave unsaid.He's smaller than he was.Whatever the illness took, it took off the top.The breadth of him, the way he used to fill a doorway the way I fill one now.His eyes are the same though.As dark as mine in the center, but his doesn’t have the ring of gold that mine does.He’s never once looked at me like I'm the Alpha and he isn't."You've got the pack talking," he says. "The whole place reeks of her. Half my old Betas can't hold a thought, sniffing after a woman who's meant to be dead."There’s a dry sound in his chest."The other half count the

    (Angelique)"Sit. I made tea."Brynn's got two cups poured on the little table like we're girls catching up, and the wrongness of it crawls up my neck.We’ve never sat down to tea together in all the years we shared a house."What do you want?""I said sit."She doesn’t raise her voice.Brynn never needs to get louder, she's got her mother's trick of making a flat little sentence land like a hand clamped around your throat.So I sit, because I bartered my soul to her for the herbs keeping my son invisible, and we both know it."Zack's got enough herbs for another week."She slides a cup at me I won't touch."You're welcome. The witch I use isn't cheap. She’s actually only sourcing them as a special favor to me. It’s not something there’s a great demand for. Most of us don’t have to be ashamed of who we are.""Thank you." My voice is flat enough to iron shirts on."Mm."She watches me over the rim of her cup, taking her time, enjoying the stretch where I don't know what’s coming yet."

  • Alpha's Obsession With His Pet   Chapter 12 – The Owner

    (Rene)Cole's been in the doorway ten seconds working up to something, which is nine longer than I've got patience for tonight."What?""Our lookout in the town. The one keeping eyes on the roadhouse."He picks each word like giving me the wrong one could explode in his face."The owner's been asking questions."I don't look up from the ledger."So what? Owners ask questions. I left him short a waitress after making a scene. He’ll get over it.""Not those questions."Now he has me. The pen goes down."What questions?""Physical descriptions. License plate numbers on the trucks."Cole shifts his weight."He made the trucks as out-of-state and went hunting which state. He’s been quiet about it. Bought a long-haul driver a few rounds and asked whose convoy runs the river road.""He's covering himself. A girl got manhandled in his dining room, he's worried about liability.""That's what I told myself."Cole doesn't look comforted by it."Then he asked the driver whether he’d ever heard of
