Chapter 59

Joss

I 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

  • 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

    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

  • The Alpha Pregnant With The Enigma’s Secret    Chapter 58

    Chapter 58 He showed up at Boston’s door twenty minutes later looking like he hadn’t slept in three days, which, honestly, at that point neither had I.Boston let him in without saying much, just gave him this long look that clearly meant you hurt him again and I will end you, and Joss nodded back like he understood the terms perfectly. Arnold stayed in the kitchen pretending to text somebody so the rest of us could have a minute that didn’t involve an audience.Joss stood in the doorway of the living room for a second before he actually came in, like he wasn’t sure he was allowed all the way into the room yet.“Hey,” he said.“Hey.”“You look tired.”“You look worse.”That got a small, tired laugh out of him, the first real one I’d heard from him in what felt like weeks. He came and sat on the couch next to me, not too close, leaving space like he was waiting for me to decide how much of it I wanted to close.“I meant what I said on the phone,” he said. “About choosing you. I need y

  • The Alpha Pregnant With The Enigma’s Secret    Chapter 57

    Chapter 57JossI stood in my father’s driveway for a long time after he told me I had three days, just staring at my own car like it might tell me what to do if I looked at it hard enough. It didn’t. Cars are useless like that.I drove around for almost two hours before I called the man again, the same one who’d been feeding me information for weeks. I needed to know about that car. I needed to know if my father had already put someone on Gawin without telling me, because if he had, three days was a lie and I was already too late.“Was it one of ours?” I asked the second he picked up.“One of whose?”“My father’s. Parked outside a house near the university this morning. Dark sedan.”There was a pause on the line, the kind of pause that told me he already knew more than he wanted to say out loud. “I can find out. Give me an hour.”“I don’t have an hour. I have three days and I already feel like I’m losing them.”“Then give me thirty minutes.”He hung up before I could argue. I sat in
