Chapter 55

Arnold

Boston closed his eyes. “Arnold.”

“What? He wants honesty. Here it is. Joss’s father does not bluff. Linrae does not bluff when she is angry. If you decide based on fear, they still win. They just win quieter.”

I stared at him. “You like giving speeches now? Last night you were hiding behind a belt.”

“Last night I was inside someone. Different skill set.”

Boston made a strangled sound. “Can you not say that while I’m trying to have a real conversation?”

“He brought it up.”

  • The Alpha Pregnant With The Enigma’s Secret    Chapter 64

    Chapter 64 Gawin Sunday came faster than any of us were ready for, and I spent most of Saturday night convinced my mother was going to poison Joss’s food out of pure spite, which honestly wouldn’t have surprised me given the mood she’d been in all week. Joss showed up at six on the dot wearing an actual tie like he’d promised, hair combed in a way that made him look like he was heading to a job interview instead of dinner with a woman who’d already threatened to end him.“You look ridiculous,” I said, opening the door before he could knock.“I look respectful.”“You look like you’re about to ask my mother for a business loan.”He laughed, but I could tell he was nervous underneath it, shifting his weight on the front step like he wasn’t sure he was actually allowed inside yet. My mother appeared behind me a second later, arms crossed, studying him head to toe with the same expression she used to give race officials who tried to argue with her about penalty calls.“You’re on time,” s

  • The Alpha Pregnant With The Enigma’s Secret    Chapter 63

    Chapter 63GawinNobody said anything for a while after Joss’s father walked out of the study, which left the three of us standing there in that huge cold room not sure what to do with the silence he left behind. Boston stuck his head in from the hallway eventually, took one look at my face, and must have decided I hadn’t been murdered or dragged off anywhere, because he came all the way in with Arnold right behind him.“Well,” Boston said. “Did we just watch a hostile takeover or a family reunion, because I genuinely cannot tell from your faces.”“Neither,” I said. “I think we watched a very rich man realize he might have to actually try being a decent person for once.”“That’s new for him,” Arnold said.“Don’t,” Joss said, but there wasn’t any real heat in it, just exhaustion, and he sat down hard in the chair his father had vacated like his legs had finally given out on him. “I can’t tell if that went well or if I just bought us a week before he changes his mind again.”I reached o

  • The Alpha Pregnant With The Enigma’s Secret    Chapter 62

    Chapter 62 GawinI sat down because Joss’s father told me to, and some old instinct in me still said don’t argue with rich men in their own houses, but the second I was in that chair I regretted it, because now I was lower than everyone else in the room and it felt exactly as small as I’m sure he wanted me to feel.Joss didn’t sit. He stood right behind my chair, one hand resting on the back of it, close enough that I could feel the warmth coming off him, and I understood without him saying a single word that he wasn’t planning on letting anyone forget he was standing there too.“Let’s be efficient about this,” Mr. Voss said, folding his hands on the desk like he was about to close a business deal instead of talk about a baby. “I understand there are feelings involved. I’m not unsympathetic to that. But feelings don’t change the practical reality of the situation, and I think it’s better for everyone if we deal with the practical reality first.”“What reality,” I said, and my voice c

  • The Alpha Pregnant With The Enigma’s Secret    Chapter 61

    Chapter 61 GawinI woke up on Boston’s couch to the sound of him and Arnold arguing in whispers that weren’t actually whispers, and for about three seconds before my brain caught up I thought maybe I’d just imagined the entire last two weeks and none of it was real.Then I sat up too fast, my stomach lurched, and reality came crashing back in with all the grace of a car crash.“He’s awake,” Arnold said, like that solved something.“I can see that, thank you.” Boston was standing by the window with his phone in his hand, and the second I saw his face I knew whatever news he was holding wasn’t the kind that let a person keep sleeping. “Morning.”“What happened,” I said, because I’d learned by now that whenever Boston opened a conversation with just the word morning and nothing else, something had happened.“Joss texted around two. Said not to let you leave the house today.”“Excuse me?”“Don’t shoot the messenger, I’m just reading you what he sent.”I grabbed my phone off the coffee ta

  • The Alpha Pregnant With The Enigma’s Secret    Chapter 60

    Chapter 60 JossThe lights were still on in the study when I pulled up, which told me everything I needed to know before I even got out of the car. My father didn’t stay up late unless something was moving. He always said sleep was for men who didn’t have anything worth protecting, and I used to think that made him sound important. Now it just made me sick.The housekeeper wasn’t at the door this time. Nobody was. I let myself in with the code I still had memorized from when I was seventeen and too angry to remember to change it after I moved out, and the house swallowed the sound of the door shutting behind me the way it always did, like it ate noise on purpose.I found him exactly where I expected. Behind the desk, phone pressed to his ear, a glass of something dark sitting untouched next to his elbow. He looked up when I walked in and didn’t even blink, just held up one finger like I was an assistant interrupting a call instead of his son walking in at one in the morning.“I’ll ca

  • The Alpha Pregnant With The Enigma’s Secret    Chapter 59

    Chapter 59JossI left Boston’s place a little after midnight with a plan half formed in my head and nowhere near enough sleep in my system to actually carry it out properly. Gawin had fallen asleep on the couch somewhere around eleven, curled up under the same blanket from that morning, one hand tucked under his cheek and the other resting flat against his stomach even in sleep, like some part of him never stopped standing guard. I sat there for almost thirty minutes just watching him breathe before I made myself get up and leave, because staying felt like tempting fate and I’d already used up my luck for one day.Boston walked me to the door without saying much. At the last second he grabbed my arm, not hard, just enough to stop me.“Whatever you’re planning,” he said, “don’t do it half thought out. He’s had enough people make promises they couldn’t keep this week.”“I know.”“I don’t think you do. Not yet. But you will if you screw this up.”I didn’t have an answer for that, so I j
