Nicole's POV

I hear the knock and freeze. I wasn’t expecting anyone. Marlon always texts first before coming. Amber brings pastries and never comes this early. So who could it be?

My heart stutters as I stand in the hallway, hand resting on the frame. I take one steadying breath and open the door.

Tate is standing there.

I blink, stunned. “Tate?” My voice comes out sharper than I intended. “What are you doing here?”

So who could it be?My heart stutters as I stand in the hallway, hand resting on the frame.

You need to leave. The kids”He ignores me completely and steps inside, closing the door behind him with a soft click.I want to scream at him. I want to shove him back out into the hallway and tell him this is my space, my life, and he doesn’t get to just walk into it whenever the mood strikes. But Rosy and Maple are still asleep just down the hall,

    Tate pov Jonathan’s face remains completely neutral. "Is she at the institute?" "Yes, she and Lily came in early," I say. I stand up and put on my jacket. "Stay here." "Tate," Jonathan warns carefully. "Let me follow you. If something is going on, you shouldn't be heading into it completely alone." "No," I say, gesturing toward the clutter across the room. "Scroll through those documents on my desk. I need you to sort some of them out before dawn." Jonathan pauses, looking genuinely concerned. "Is Lily okay?" I let out a low chuckle, shaking my head. "Yes, she is fine. Lovebirds. Don't worry, your wife is perfectly safe." I look back at the pile on the desk. "I need you to take those documents to the pack this morning. Personally. They need to see a presence from leadership, and since I'm stuck handling some situation, you're the only one who can deliver those directives with authority." Jonathan looks at the pile on the desk, then back at me. He sighs but nods anyway. "Fine.

  • Reject Me, Alpha Tate   Chapter 86

    Tate's POV I don't sleep, instead I sit in my room with every light on as I think through everything from the start. Meeting them in the library, meeting them in the garden. It seems like the universe was trying to send me a signal, but I was too blind to see what was right in front of me. I sat right next to them, talked to them. How did I not know? How could a father not recognize his own children? Maple and Rosy are my children. At this point, I felt like I was losing my mind. Nicole orchestrated this entire game perfectly. She hid her identity as a researcher, pretended to be an attendant, and forged documents for the kids. It was too much to take in. Right now, at this point, Nicole scared the shit out of me. It is as if she is an entirely different person from the woman I used to know. The girl who used to take everything I dished out without complaining was gone, replaced by someone brilliant, calculating, and cold enough to pull off a massive deception right under my nose.

    Nicole pov But his voice from yesterday fills my head, how he asked me the question and I sat there and said no. I looked him in the eye and told him those children were Marlon's and I watched him take it. I thought I had more time. Oh God. Marlon. He is sitting on a bench somewhere in this building after telling Tate the truth. He held that secret for years, and I wasn't there when it broke. Tate's hands were on him in that corridor—or whatever the careful, diplomatic version of Amber's words meant. This is my fault, I press my palms flat against the wall and breathe. He kept my identity from Tracy, I think. From Lily. From Sophia. He had every opportunity to use it, and he didn't. And I repaid him by lying to his face about his own children. This is my fault. But at the same time, I was trying to protect my kids. I knew what I faced trying to escape from him. I breathe in for four. Out for four. In for four. Out. Then, I push off the wall and go to find Marlon. He is exac

  • Reject Me, Alpha Tate   Chapter 84

    Nicole's POV Amber finds me in the lab at half past nine. I can tell from her face that something has happened. She has never mastered our institutional composure. Right now, she is trying too hard to look neutral, which means the news is big. I close my laptop. "Tell me," I say. She sits across from me and folds her hands. "Marlon called me a few minutes ago. He said he tried reaching you, but your line is unavailable." I exhaled. "I left my phone at the office, what happened?" "He asked me to find you," she says. "He wanted to warn you before you heard it from someone else." Something cold settles in my chest. "Warn me about what?" "Tate had the report this morning," she says. "The analyst's findings. There are no external records for the twins, he found Marlon in the lower corridor and confronted him." I go completely still, my heart beating faster. "Marlon said Tate already had everything," Amber continues. "The documents, the gaps, the timeline. He said the lie

    Tate pov I breathe out slowly. The report in my jacket is already confirmation, but hearing the words from the man who was there when they were born is different. "She lied," I say. "She protected them," he says. "She lied to my face." "Yes," he says, "she did. She will lie to your face again if she thinks it keeps them safe. I will stand beside her and let her, because that is what I have always done. That is not going to change just because you have a report in your pocket." He looks at me. "If you want access to those children, you are going to earn it. Not through lawyers. Not through alliance jurisdiction. You are going to earn it by being someone she trusts enough to let near them. That is going to take time, and you are going to have to accept that." "She should have told me," I say. "When?" he asks, and his voice is sharp now. "When exactly was she supposed to tell you? In the pack house where you controlled what she ate? When she was running for her life with a pregn
