Reject Me, Alpha Tate Chapter 180
Nicole's POVThe heat of Tate’s kiss still burned on my lips, my heart hammering like a trapped bird inside my ribs. For years, he had been a ghost haunting my memories, a cruel Alpha who had broken my spirit in the dark halls of the South River pack mansion. But standing on the cold stone steps outside the grand hall, the raw, desperate need in his touch had shaken me to my core.I gently pushed against his chest, stepping back just enough to draw a ragged breath as my cheeks flared hot."Tate," I whispered, glancing nervously around the open courtyard. "People are everywhere. The entire board is inside."Tate’s dark eyes were intense, searching my face as if trying to memorize every line, every curve he had lost for years. He didn't pull away completely; his hand lingered at the small of my back, his thumb rubbing a slow, grounding circle against my wool coat."Let them look," he murmured, his voice a low, gravelly rumble. "I don't care about the board, Nicole. I care about you.""

Nicole's POVThe email came in at 5:47 in the morning, and I almost didn't open it right away. I'd learned, over years of trial data, that dawn emails were either miracles or ruin. I brewed coffee, set the hot ceramic mug on the kitchen table, and sat down in my sleep-shirt to open the independent review team's statistical report.My hand shook as my eyes scanned the screen:Subject A (Ashford, D.): Near-complete reversal of mate-bond severance damage.Subject C (Parkville, A.): Near-complete reversal exceeding projected outcomes.Subject B (Caesar, T.): Degradation fully arrested as of week thirty-one, reversal proceeding.I pressed my palm over my mouth, tears blurring the pale blue light of the laptop. Down the hall, a floorboard creaked. The drag of a heavy blanket along the floor drew my attention to the kitchen doorway.Maple dragged his yellow blanket into the kitchen, his dark hair sticking up on one side. He squinted his sleep-clouded eyes at me."Why are you leaking?" he as

Tate pov Before Nicole could answer, Rosy let go of the umbrella handle and tugged hard on the hem of my jacket. "Daddy! Amber said we're gonna be four soon!""Did Amber say that?" I crouched down to her level."Yeah!" Maple agreed, giving up on the gate latch to run over. He held up four fingers, with one tucked awkwardly under his thumb. "And she said when you turn four, you get a giant dragon cake!""We want a big birthday," Rosy declared, bouncing on the heels of her yellow boots. "A real big one! With splashy balloons!""A lavish one," I corrected softly, a rare, quiet smile touching my mouth. "Fine. You'll get the biggest birthday party this institute has ever seen.""Tate," Nicole warned, stepping forward. "Don't promise them things like that. A simple cake is""I wasn't there for their first three," I said, rising back to my feet and looking directly at her, my voice dropping so only she could hear. "I haven't been with them for years, Nicole. For their upcoming birthday, the

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

Nicole's POV I stared at the test with two lines. I had read enough books to know what they meant, I was pregnant. I was carrying Tate’s child. At first I felt shocked, I couldn’t think straight. I just stared at the test, lost. Then I calmed down as small hope grew inside me, he had always said h

Nichole pov "Shit, shit, shit." I was already ten minutes behind and the parliament office was a fifteen minute walk, Tate's suit still in the garment bag over my arm and my shoes not properly fastened because I hadn't had time to sit down and do them right. I had overslept, which never happen

Nicole's POV "Move aside!" Maid Mara stepped directly into my path as I rounded the corner, her shoulder cutting across mine hard enough to make me catch myself against the wall. "Luna," she said, then added under her breath, "or trash." I pretended not to hear. Straightened up and started to w

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
