The Day I Gave Up on My Alpha and Family Chapter 9
Brielle’s POVThe next day, I sent Mom some money and labeled the transfer “Medical expenses.”Jake sent me a long message. I told him to work out exactly how much of my old wages he owed me, then closed the chat.As I was leaving, Audrey handed me a paper bag.“I packed you a sandwich. In case you get too busy to remember lunch again.”I put it in my bag with my lab notebook.Owen was waiting at the bench with yesterday's records.“The warehouse checked. The insulated container failed during shipping.”He paused. His ears were a little red.“I was out of line yesterday. I'm sorry.”I nodded and pulled on my gloves.“Want to finish the rest of the samples together?”He pulled out the chair beside him to make room for me.As I got back into herbal research, I began to see how much I'd missed by studying on my own. I wrote down the steps for equipment I hadn't used before. When I couldn't understand a report, I took my questions to someone who could help.One day, after several failed at

Brielle’s POVAudrey was waiting at the station when my coach pulled into Silverfrost.She stood on tiptoe and waved. Her scarf had slipped behind her shoulder, and her nose was red from the cold.The moment I stepped off, she threw her arms around me.“You finally made it.”Before I could answer, she'd taken my suitcase and pressed a cup of hot chocolate into my hand.“Let's get you home. I made your favorite cream of mushroom soup.”Snowy woods passed outside the car window. She talked the whole way, asking what I liked for breakfast and whether I preferred a soft pillow or a firm one.I held the hot chocolate, my eyes starting to sting.It had been so long since anyone had made me feel this cared for.At her place, she opened the door to my room. The sheets were my favorite pale blue. A few hangers waited in the empty wardrobe, and a new pair of slippers sat beside the bed.“We can buy anything else you need,” she said with a smile.I wheeled my suitcase over to the bed and slowly l

Kieran’s POVI shot to my feet, knocking over a cabinet.“What did you say?”The maid flinched.“I saw her drink it. Then she made me break the bottle and throw the pieces out with the ashes.”There was only one bottle of Silver Spring Water every seven years.When Brielle awakened at eighteen, her wolf was the strongest of her year. The elders had voted unanimously to give that bottle to her.But it had vanished soon after it arrived at her house. Rogue fur and tracks had been found outside the window. The pack enforcers had searched for a long time without finding the thief.I'd promised Brielle I would get it back.I closed my eyes for a moment, then went on.“What about the signs of rogues outside the window? What do you know about those?”“Maisie arranged that too. She made me scatter the fur outside. Then she told me how to leave the tracks in the snow.”The maid wiped her tears and winced as her hand brushed her injured face.“She said you and Jake loved her. If I told anyone, s

Kieran’s POVI was still furious when I got back. Maisie sat on the sofa with a blanket over her knees.She stood as soon as she heard us.“Did you find Brielle?”“You told the Registry to keep me in the dark. Where exactly did you expect me to find her?”I saw the concern freeze on her face. Her fingers tightened around the blanket.“Kieran, what are you talking about? I don't understand.”Before I could answer, Lucas strode up to her.“We just came from the Registry. The staff told us everything you said. You're still going to play innocent?”She suddenly doubled over. Her breathing quickened, and she reached for my sleeve.“Kieran, I don't feel well. I think I'm having another attack…”I stepped back without thinking. Her hand caught nothing.She froze. Then the tears came.“You've already decided I drove Brielle away, haven't you?”There it was again. That wounded look. Every time she'd cried before, I'd rushed to comfort her. I hadn't even let Brielle finish explaining.Now I coul

Kieran’s POVThe wineglass fell onto the carpet. Red wine seeped out around its rim, leaving a dark, ugly stain.My mind went blank.“Leave the pack for good? When did she apply?”Lucas gripped the doorframe, still out of breath.“A friend of mine was at the Registry this afternoon to replace some documents. He overheard someone say Brielle had filed for permanent withdrawal.”Maisie set down her dessert fork. Her voice was as gentle as ever.“Maybe she just wants to get away for a while?”“Does she need to give up her pack citizenship to do that?”My mother put her napkin on the table. Her gaze moved from Maisie to me.“You said something had come up. So you knew Brielle didn't want to come?”I still couldn't believe she was really leaving me.But I couldn't keep denying what was happening.My voice came out rough.“She's just upset. Maisie wanted to know what it felt like to have a mate. I agreed to spend some time with her. Brielle took it the wrong way.”My father slowly set down h

Kieran knocked on my door as soon as he hung up."Tomorrow night, you need to come to my parents' place with Maisie. Tell them you agreed to let me give her the experience of having a mate. I don't want them getting the wrong idea."I set my damaged phone on the table."I never agreed to that."He blinked. "You nodded at the healing center, didn't you?""Mom went three days without eating, and every one of you kept pushing until I gave in. I couldn't stand watching her starve herself anymore. That doesn't mean I'm going to lie to your parents for you."Kieran's expression hardened."Maisie only has one wish left. Once she's met my parents, this will all be over. Why do you have to make things so hard for her now?"Maisie stood in the doorway, staring at the floor and twisting the sleeve of her pajamas."It's fine. I don't want to put Brielle in a difficult position."Jake stepped out behind her. "If you don't go, what will Kieran's parents think? You want them to believe Maisie stole a
