Reject Me, Alpha Tate Chapter 177
Tate's POVThe gravel crunched under my boots as I stopped three paces from the stone bottom step of building four. Damp fog clung to the coat hooks near the entryway.The door latch clicked as Nicole stepped out onto the porch, her green wool scarf wrapped twice around her neck. She held Maple by his left hand. Rosy carried a faded blue cloth dog under her arm, her yellow boots stomping onto the top step.Nicole stopped. Her fingers tightened slightly on Maple’s coat sleeve."You're here," Nicole said. Her voice was flat, holding no shock."I am." I crouched down on the gravel, the damp cold soaking through the knee of my trousers. Rosy immediately broke away from Nicole’s side, her short legs moving fast as she trotted straight over to me. She pushed two small, cool fingers into my open palm. "I thought I'd walk with you. If that's alright."Maple pulled his hand out of Nicole's grip and stepped closer to the edge of the stone step. He narrowed his brown eyes, tilting his head to on

Nicole pov At 3:00 a.m., I completed an eleven-page dossier proving my innocence. It included signed statements, logged interactions, and security footage showing I had no influence over Sophia or Jonathan’s cases. I kept my love for Tate out of it; the facts were all that mattered. Two days later, Director Reyes dismissed the complaint as baseless retaliation.I was standing near the window in the breakroom, stirring a fresh cup of tea, when Amber walked in with a stack of patient files tucked under her arm."She's gone," Amber said quietly, setting the files on the counter.I paused, my spoon clinking against the ceramic. "Who?""Lily," Amber said. "Logistics just confirmed it. A transport car picked her up at the north gate twenty minutes ago, she had two suitcases.""Did she speak to anyone?" I asked, turning around to face her fully."No," Amber shook her head. "Someone down in transport said she didn't say goodbye to anyone on her way out. She just signed the gate release, got
Reject Me, Alpha Tate Chapter 175
Nicole's POVI was leaning over my light table, checking three different brain scans against the raw trial log. The hum of the lab's air filter filled the quiet room. My pen was halfway across a note line when a pair of black boots stopped beside my desk.The directorship courier dropped a thick manila folder onto my paperwork. He kept his chin tucked down, staring strictly at the wall clock behind me."Dr. N. Carter?" he asked."Yes," I said, setting my pen down. "Is this the morning data report from the lab?""No, Dr. Carter," the courier said, stepping back toward the open door immediately. "Directorship protocol. You have to sign the log for it.""Right." I picked up my pen, scribbled my signature on his clipboard, and watched him turn on his heel and speed down the hallway.I flipped open the cover sheet. Sharp, slanted letters filled the top line. I stood there in my heavy winter coat, reading the header aloud under my breath.FORMAL COMPLAINT: CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND PROFESSIO
Reject Me, Alpha Tate Chapter 174
Nicole's POVIt started, as most serious things in our house, over dinner. Maple set down his fork with a dramatic clatter, puffing out his small chest."Daddy," he announced, pointing a chicken nugget at Tate. "We do a dragon match!"Tate, who had been carefully cutting Rosy's meat into small, toddler-safe pieces at her request, looked up. "A dragon match?" he repeated."Yeah!" Maple said, nodding hard. "Me versus you! Who knows more big dragons!""Rosy be the judge," Rosy added from her high chair, nodding solemnly with a mouth half-full of carrots. "I hold the notebook.""Are you going to be fair?" Tate asked her, his voice deadpan and serious.Rosy held up a small spiral pad covered in wild crayon scribbles. "I'm a big girl. I give points."I bit back a smile and kept eating, watching Tate weigh the challenge. "What are the terms?" he asked Maple."Dragon stuff," Maple said, counting on his small fingers. "What they eat, if they fly, if they go in water! If I win, I get... I get b

Tate's POVThe walk up the corridor felt longer than the drive from South River.I stopped outside her door, running through every version of what I meant to say, before finally knocking.When Nicole opened the door, her eyes ran over the bruise on my jaw and the cut on my cheekbone. She didn't scold me. She just stood there, guarded."I tried to figure out the right words," I said, stepping forward. "I rewrote this conversation a hundred times, but none of it sounds right. So I’m just going to say it badly."Nicole crossed her arms. "Say it, then.""I came to say I'm sorry for hitting Marlon the other day," I said.Her jaw tightened. "I know you are. You took long enough to say it.""I'm sorry," I said. "I'm sure that's why you haven't picked up my calls.""I didn't pick up because I was tired. Imagine two grown men fighting in a research lab," she said, her voice turning cold. "He protected me and the twins for years while you were sitting in the South River. You had no right to lay

Nicole's POVAt 2:14 PM, a sharp, double-tone ping broke the quiet of my office.A crisp notification banner expanded across the center of my terminal display, stamped with the cold, silver insignia of the Institute’s Clinical Directorate:[OFFICIAL SYSTEM NOTIFICATION CLINICAL WING]TO: Dr. E. Carter, Lead Neuro-therapeutics SpecialistFROM: Suite 402 Internal RelayTIMESTAMP: 14:14:08SUBJECT: Patient Request for PresenceDr. Carter,Patient Tracy requests your presence in Research Suite 402 at your earliest convenience for a direct consultation regarding current treatment parameters.[Acknowledge] | [Defer to Staff] | [Flag for Review]I stared at the block of text.There were no passive-aggressive demands, no bitter insults masked as health panics, and no summons for cold tea. Just plain, automated protocol—nothing like the woman who had spent months barking orders at me while I stood before her in a disguise she never saw through.I read the line twice, searching for the hidden t
Reject Me, Alpha Tate Chapter 81
Nicole's POVI don't sleep. I sit at the kitchen table for a long time after I get home, still in my work clothes, my hands wrapped around a mug of tea that goes cold before I drink any of it. The apartment is quiet after the twins go down. Usually, that silence settles me. Tonight, it just gives

Nicole pov He nods slowly. He doesn’t try to fix it for me. He just stands there, holding the weight of both versions of himself without flinching. The man I left wouldn’t have known how to do that."The rejection papers," I say."Nicole""I’m not asking you to sign them tonight. I just need you t

Nicole's POV I am halfway down the east corridor when I hear him behind me. "Lea." I stop as my breath hitches, then I turn around.Tate is coming from the direction of Tracy's wing. He stops a few feet away and looks at me."I need an hour of your time," he says. "This afternoon, you and Marlon,
Reject Me, Alpha Tate Chapter 6
TATE'S POV Nicole had been unusually quiet for days. I noticed. I notice everything — Caesar made sure of that from the time I was old enough to stand. That morning she handed me the wrong tie. Her fingers moved too fast and her eyes didn't meet mine. Storm flagged her scent immediately, somethin
