Chapter Nine

/JACQUELINE/

“You have to learn to be more polite to your teachers, Jackie.”

I fought the urge to roll my eyes at mom's words.

“Don't worry about Mr Philip, mom. Everyone hates him.”

“Jackie!” Mom shrieked horrified. “That wasn't how I raised you. If that young man were still here, I would make you apologize this second.”

I looked down at the table cloth, refusing to meet my mom's eyes.

I couldn't tell her that the young man she was defending had practically insulted the car she had diligently saved her wages to get me earlier today.

He had also looked after you the night you were drunk and had saved you from Sammy's harassment. The voice of reason said.

“I'm sorry, mom.” I said when I noticed her crestfallen expression. I had brought her out so we could have fun. I didn't want to ruin tonight for her. It was even a miracle that she had followed me out.

She shook her head at me.

“It's okay. Just don't allow college to change you. I still need to know that you're the

  • The Alpha King's Human Mate    Chapter 116

    EZRAThe weight of the court doors echoed behind me as I stepped into the outer corridor, the cold air tugging at the back of my neck.I was dressed in a black cloak that swept the cold floor of the corridor. After years of wearing shirts, cottons, and suits, I found this oddly discomforting.It was going to take a while to get used to these heavy fabrics again.I turned down the hall that led to the main court, each step slow but deliberate. The scent of torch smoke clung to the ceiling. The walls were carved in dark stone, etched with symbols older than the kingdom itself.As I reached the throne room, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around just in time to see Tarius slip through the door.He was wearing a cloak almost identical to mine, and he looked very comfortable in it.“Good morning, Alpha. Did you sleep well?”I gave a low nod without taking my eyes off him.“I slept very well, Tarius,” I finally answered.“Alpha,” he said, bowing his head deeply. “Forgive me. There sho

    JACQUELINE“Gone for good?” I repeated, blinking at my mom like she’d grown a second head.She nodded slowly, grabbing her spoon and beginning to dig into her plate of lasagna. She was acting perfectly calm. But why wouldn’t she?She wasn’t the one who’d signed up for his classes. She wasn’t the one who had kissed him at Sammy’s party just to get back at her cheating ex. She wasn’t the one who’d fallen in love with him and was now learning that he probably was never going to come back.“What do you mean gone for good? Did he tell you that? Did Ezra say something?” Surely, he must have said something.Had his visit that night really been for me? Would he have told me he was leaving if I’d just driven straight home after our sexual encounter?She hesitated. “Well... not exactly. He didn’t say the words gone for good. But when someone shows up at your door, drops off their cat, and hands you their platinum card like it’s a spare pair of socks, it says something.”My head jerked up. “Wai

    EZRAI moved to the window where Araya had stood and took in the houses littered across the streets of Grim.And for a moment, I almost believed that if I stared out into the distance hard enough, I’d be able to tell what she had been thinking. I’d be able to gauge what the fuck was going on.But my thoughts were interrupted by a gentle knock.“Come in,” I called out.The door creaked open, and a woman stepped in. It was the maid from yesterday—the one who had brought food and had eyes the color that reminded me of the human girl's.Her head was bowed low, and she had a folded towel over her arm. Her voice, when she spoke, was steady.“I’ve come to draw your bath, Alpha.”I said nothing. My gaze remained fixed on the distance. With my growing distrust, I wasn’t even sure it was safe to bathe here.But I’d been out hunting and needed to clean myself of the scent of blood that I was certain still clung to my skin.“The water will be ready shortly.”She turned and disappeared into the ba

    JACQUELINEI wasn't sure how long I slept, but I roused the second I felt something soft across my cheeks.I could tell that I was being touched, but the sleepy fog hadn't completely cleared for me to be able to tell by whom.But the moment the familiar smell of lavender hit, I slowly cracked one eye open and stared up at the sight of my mom gently stroking my cheek with her right thumb. Her eyes were filled with insurmountable fondness."Mom?" I whispered. She had loved to sit by my bedside and stroke my cheeks when I was younger. But that had stopped the moment Father had upped and left home without looking back."Yes, my darling," she replied with a tired smile. She didn't shift away, but she retracted her hand, and I instantly missed the warmth of her touch.I blinked slowly. She was still in the outfit she wore this morning. Her shoes had been kicked off. Her hair was pulled into a loose bun, a few strands falling over her cheeks. She had just returned from work. "You're back ea

    JACQUELINEMy room smelled like the hair cream and shampoo I'd used this morning. I moved towards the window and pushed it open, letting in a soft breeze that rustled the edges of my curtains.Then, I went to the bathroom and removed my makeup. I had been so ready for Ezra to see my at my best today. I looked at my reflection in my broken bathroom mirror and sighed. I went back to the bedroom after my face was completely free of makeup and took of my clothes, grabbing an old tee and shorts and putting them on. The cat bag curled itself on my trading desk and was watching my every move. It was a funny feeling to have an audience that appeared to be so intrigued by my presence. I crawled into bed without bothering to pull down the blanket and the cat jumped down from the desk, her soft purrs vibrated through the mattress, as she joined me. She took up residence right beside my hip, her little chin tucked against her paw, tail wrapped around her body.I reached over and stroked her

  • The Alpha King's Human Mate    Chapter 111

    JACQUELINEI stepped up onto the porch as Blair turned the corner, and the orange tabby cat stood. Without a single sound, she strutted away, tail flicking like she had a personal vendetta against me. I paused, one foot still hovering above the last step, watching her move toward the far side of the house like I was the one trespassing.How the hell had she even gotten outside?"Come here," I called softly. "How did you get out?"The cat paused, turned, and eyed me with what I swore was judgment. Then she meowed, loud, high-pitched, a sound that carried more insult than request. Then she turned again and walked farther.The darn cat was just as saucy as its owner.I shook my head, lips pulling into a small smirk despite the slight disdain I held toward Ezra.“Come on, let's get inside.”Of course, she wouldn’t answer. She was a cat, not a child. There was no point in being upset at her. She hadn’t asked to be dumped here. She hadn’t hurt me.Ezra had.I exhaled and reached for the doo
