Alpha’s Regret: Chasing Her Back 30
Chapter 30 Sean Bradford ~•~ My plan was simple — make Zoey fall in love with me. It was the only way I could get what I wanted….what I needed. But I couldn’t let her see that. So I did the opposite. I pushed her away, acted cold and distant, and didn’t let her all the way in. Reverse psychology. That was why I made the bet. I knew how the mind works. The more you try to stay away from something, the more you want it. She’ll try hard to guard her heart, but something will constantly draw her towards me. At least, that was how I expected it to go. Because if it goes any other way, I’d be doomed. She was feisty but I was going to play my part too. I trusted myself. I hadn’t met any woman who didn’t love me. Even if it was going to take a while, Zoey would eventually fall for me. That’s if she hadn’t already started to catch feelings. “Sean.” Eve’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I turned around slowly. “What are you doing up by this t

Chapter 29 Zoey Malik ~•~ I rolled my eyes at him. “And how about you? What if you fall for me?” I asked. Sean chuckled, but it held more arrogance than amusement. “Me? Fall for you? That’s not going to happen.” He declared confidently. I arched a brow at him. “You sound awfully sure of yourself.” “I am.” He replied, his voice firm. “It’s simple. This is just a contract. For one year. It doesn’t mean anything.” His words stung more than I expected. But I forced a smile. “You don’t have to remind me all the time. I’m fully aware that it’s just a contract.” I muttered. “You don’t mean anything either.” “Good. Because I wouldn’t want you to start daydreaming about something that’s never going to happen. You’ll just end up hurting yourself.” As I looked at him, I couldn’t help but wonder how someone could be so cocky. The bet just made it easier for me to keep my guard up. And the other part where he talked about leaving with nothing if I fall for him, I could

Chapter 28 Zoey Malik ~•~ Conrad tried calling me a few more times. But I ignored his call. I couldn’t even believe that he would ask me to attend the funeral and even go ahead to lie that Ethan’s parents wanted me there. Even if I had been exonerated, I still knew how a good number of them felt about me. And it would be really disrespectful to show up there. Either way, I still wasn’t interested in going. I spent the rest of my day in bed, reading books. When the day was dark, I stood up from the bed and went to the kitchen to get dinner. My stomach rumbled because I hadn’t eaten anything throughout the day. But on my way there, I ran into Sean in the dining room. “Zoey.” He called my name. “Sean.” “Eve told me that you didn’t touch your food in the morning.” He continued, his eyes glued to his plate of salad and roasted chicken. I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, I didn’t.” “Why?” He lifted his head and looked at me. “I wasn’t hungry,” I muttered, more t

Chapter 27 Conrad Stone ~•~ I stared at my phone in shock as Zoey abruptly hung up the call. I just wanted her to attend Ethan’s funeral, but she was acting like I was asking her to do something impossible. Yes, I might have exaggerated a bit. Ethan’s parents didn’t request her presence, but I just felt it would be something that would make them happy. But she blatantly refused. Did she really hate me that much and didn’t want to have anything to do with me? I dragged a hand down my face, letting out a frustrated sigh. Then I dialed her number again. It rang a few times. Then it disconnected. I knew she was ignoring me on purpose, so I just let it be. I would try calling her later in the day. I tossed my phone on the bed and made my way over to my father’s room. His health was getting a little bit better and I was grateful for that. “Hey,” I muttered as I stepped into his room. “How do you feel?” He shrugged. “I don’t know. I’m alive.” I chuckled lig

Chapter 26 Zoey Malik ~•~ “Hey.” Eve’s soft voice dragged me out of my thoughts. I turned around. “Hey.” She sat down on the chair across from me. “You haven’t touched your food.” She said, her eyes fixed on the full plate of pasta. I let out a deep sigh. “I’m not hungry.” She responded with a chuckle. “Why?” I shrugged my shoulders. “I don’t know….I just feel overwhelmed.” I admitted, my voice low. But I couldn’t tell her that it was because of the baby. I wasn’t sure if Sean wanted her to know that I was pregnant for someone else. I mean, it would be weird knowing that his mate had a baby for another man. A part of me was tempted to ask Sean if Eve knew about our arrangement. Eve was always around and it was only a matter of time before she realized that I was with child. For the past few days, I have started to feel comfortable around Eve. Initially, I didn’t even want to have a conversation with her, but after seeing that I had a year to spend wi

Chapter 25 Zoey Malik ~•~ “It’s either you let me leave now and be with the baby later, or I’ll terminate the pregnancy,” I replied, my voice firm. Conrad was out of his mind if he thought that he would successfully blackmail me with his father’s health. I didn’t hate Conrad’s father, but I didn’t care enough to stay back because his health was deteriorating. He wasn’t exactly my biggest fan. He didn’t cause me much trouble but I could tell that he wasn’t happy that Conrad ended up with me. So why did I have to consider him? “You won’t terminate the pregnancy, Zoey,” Conrad responded, his voice laced with anger. “What have you turned into?” I rolled my eyes even though he couldn’t see me. “Yes, I won’t terminate the pregnancy. But I won’t stay here either.” I replied, my voice filled with determination. There was nothing that Conrad could say that would convince me to stay back with his pack. The only thing I was interested in was Wendy. I wanted to make s
