"This, you’re telling me when it's difficult, instead of just"

"Yes," he says, simply.

"Why?"

He paused for some time then continued. "Because you deserve to know what's happening," he says. "You always did, I just didn't think about what you deserved. That was the problem."

The heat moves through me. I breathe, saying nothing, because there’s nothing left to say.

Then, my phone buzzes on the shelf.

Outside. I have it. Marlon.

"That's Marlon," I say.

From the hallway, I hear him shi

    Nicole pov "This, you’re telling me when it's difficult, instead of just""Yes," he says, simply."Why?"He paused for some time then continued. "Because you deserve to know what's happening," he says. "You always did, I just didn't think about what you deserved. That was the problem."The heat moves through me. I breathe, saying nothing, because there’s nothing left to say.Then, my phone buzzes on the shelf.Outside. I have it. Marlon."That's Marlon," I say.From the hallway, I hear him shift again. "I'll wait here," he says.I get up and go to the door, open it with the chain on.Marlon is in the corridor, holding a pharmacy bag. He looks worried but controlled. His eyes flick over me, then past my shoulder, then back."Hey," he says, keeping his voice even. "I have it.""Thank you," I say, reaching through the gap.He doesn't let go of the bag immediately. "Nicole," he says softly. "Let me come in.""I'm fine.""You're not fine, and he" His eyes flick past me again, his jaw tigh

    Nicole pov He is quiet. "I don't know how this ends," he says. "I just know you're here and your wolf isn't helping you and I'm not going anywhere."The heat surges through me again. I grip the edge of the counter, white-knuckled, and just try to breathe. I actually believe him—and that’s the exact problem I’ve been dealing with every time he acts like someone different from the person I expect him to be."Even if you’re losing control?" I challenge him, my voice breaking as another wave of heat makes my skin crawl."I can control myself," he says, his voice low and strained.I roll my eyes, half in pain and half in disbelief. "We shall see," I mutter, the words barely coming out as I fight the urge to move toward him."The medication is coming," I say, trying to ground myself. My voice isn't nearly as steady as it was a minute ago.He stays in the doorway. Through the haze of my own desire, I notice him rub his hands over his face, a rough, frustrated gesture to keep himself in chec

  • Reject Me, Alpha Tate   Chapter 59

    Nicole's POVThe first twenty minutes are okay.I sit on the couch with my knees together and my back straight. I hold a glass of cold water with both hands and drink it slowly. Tate sits in the armchair across the room—he found it on his own, without me telling him where to go, and picked the furthest spot the room allows. I finished the water and refilled it. I have nothing to take—no suppressants, nothing in the cabinet that will help with this—So I just sit here, focusing on my breathing and making sure I don’t look at his face."You don't have to stay," I say again. "I know," "I mean it, the medication is coming and I can manage the wait alone.""I know that too," he says, and does not move.I look at him. "You are very stubborn.""Yes," he says simply.I drink my water. The silence settles back in. It’s not comfortable, but it works as I look out the window. "Can I ask you something?" he says."You can ask.""When did it start? The heat. Tonight, I mean."I think about not a

    Nicole pov The twins, I think the nursery should be closed by now. The apartment is quiet." His eyes move briefly around the room. "Where are they?" I met his gaze. "With their father," I say. "Marlon has them for a few days. They're spending time with him." Something moves through his expression. It's controlled and quick, then gone. He nods once, slowly—the way you nod when you're accepting information you don't actually believe "Right," he says. "You can check if you'd like," I say, and I hear the edge in my own voice and I don't pull it back. "You can call Marlon and confirm. I'm sure he'd love to hear from you." "I'm not going to call Marlon," he says. "Then stop looking at me like that." "Like what." "Like I'm lying to you." He is quiet for a moment. "I wasn't looking at you like anything." "You were," I say. "You do it and you think I don't notice but I notice everything, I have been noticing everything for weeks." I take a breath. "The children are with Marlon, they

    I get my feet back under me and straighten up. He keeps his hand at my elbow—as I look at the corridor ahead and think about the six doors left between here and mine, and the fact that he is now going to see exactly which one I open."You can let go," I say."I will," he says. "When we get to your door.""Tate""Which one is it?"I closed my eyes for one second, arguing right now is pointless and I don’t have such strength so I told him.He walks me to the door without speaking. I unlock it—my hands are steadier than they should be, which I’m counting as a victory—and I push it open. I turn to face him in the doorway."Thank you," I say. "You can go now.""No," he says.I look at him. "I beg your pardon?""I'm not leaving," he says simply. "Not yet.""I am inside my apartment. I have my keys. The door locks from the inside." I hold his gaze. "You can go, Tate.""No," he says again, with total finality. There is something in his face that isn't just stubbornness; "I thought you were de

    I close my mouth.The heat moves through me again, deeper this time. I press my free hand flat against my thigh where she cannot see it, breathing through my nose slowly, evenly counting. My voice stays completely steady. To anyone looking at me, nothing has changed."Tell your Dr Carter," Tracy says, settling back, "that I am not impressed. Tell her that if she has charges to make, she should make them. I will be right here waiting." She gestures at the room around her. "And tell her to come out from behind her glass and her machine and say things to my face, like a person with a spine, if she believes she has something to say." A pause. "I gave that woman the benefit of the doubt. Whatever my son said about her work, I thought — fine, perhaps she is doing something useful. And then I find out she is sitting in a back room collecting words like evidence and sending them upstairs." She shakes her head slowly. "A coward dressed up as a professional.""Your results this week are positiv

    Nicole's POVThe twins were quiet on the walk home, which with Maple usually meant he was thinking hard about something.It didn't take long."Mummy," he said, tugging my hand, "why did Rosy want that old book anyway? It was really big and boring looking.""It wasn't boring," Rosy said, without loo

    The lady in the green dress at the ball gave me a strange sense of déjà vu. I didn't sleep. Every time I closed my eyes I thought about her.The moments our palms touched, I sensed something unusual.But I was sure I didn't know any lady who looked so gorgeous and glamorous as her, she was really i

    Nicole's POVThe mask was white porcelain with gold edging, and it covered everything from my forehead to the bridge of my nose. I had added large tortoiseshell glasses below it on the grounds that two layers of disguise were better than one, and Marlon had looked at the combination and said I rese

    Nicole's POVI made it to the library in four minutes and forty seconds. I know because I counted them, the way I counted everything when panic was trying to get the upper hand.I did not forget my mask. Even in those four minutes, even with my heart doing something unpleasant in my chest, I stoppe
