The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 119 : The Longest Drive
The city blurred past the windows in smears of light, streetlamps and storefronts sliding by too fast for Killian to properly register any of them, his hands gripping the wheel hard enough that his knuckles had gone white.A baby, he thought, the word still refusing to settle into anything solid, anything real, no matter how many times it circled back through his mind. I'm going to be a father.Somewhere beneath the shock, something warm and fragile stirred, unexpected and almost painful in its intensity. He thought of small hands, of a future he'd never once let himself imagine seriously, not with the life he'd been raised into, not with the darkness his family carried in its very bones.Mine, he thought. Asher's carrying a baby that's mine.The warmth didn't last long before something sharper crashed through it.Weeks, Killian thought, his jaw tightening. He's known for weeks. Terrified of me the entire time, apparently. Terrified enough to hide something this enormous rather than s
The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 118 : Everything
Killian returned nearly twenty minutes later, his face still pale but steadier now, some of the earlier panic drained from his features."He's okay," Killian said, dropping back into his chair heavily. "Fainted. Dehydration, the doctor thinks, combined with exhaustion. He's resting now. Insisted I not cancel anything else tonight on his account.""That's good," Marcus said, relief flooding through him briefly before the weight of the unfinished conversation settled back over the room.Killian looked at him steadily, something raw and unguarded sitting plainly across his tired face. "Finish what you were saying."Marcus's heart pounded hard. There was no more room left to delay, no more interruptions waiting in the wings to save him from the moment he'd spent weeks both dreading and desperately wanting to reach."The night of the gala," Marcus said, his voice steady despite everything shaking inside him. "After you all had too much to drink. After I drove everyone back here. Asher and
The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 117 : I Need to Tell You Something
The estate's iron gates opened before Marcus even had to speak into the intercom, the guards recognizing his car on sight after years of near-constant visits. He drove up the long, familiar driveway slower than usual tonight, his hands tight on the wheel, his heart pounding harder with every passing second.He found Killian exactly where he expected, in his study, a stack of unsigned papers spread across the desk in front of him, though his eyes weren't actually moving across any of the words. A single lamp lit the room, casting long shadows across the walls, and the fireplace had burned down to little more than glowing embers, like Killian had been sitting there for hours without moving to tend it."You're back," Killian said, glancing up. "I thought we already finished everything for tonight.""We did," Marcus said, closing the door behind him carefully. "This isn't about the security arrangements."Something in his tone made Killian set down his pen slowly, his full attention shift
The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 116 : Waiting
Ethan drove straight to Asher's apartment the moment Marcus's car disappeared down the street, unable to sit alone in his own place while everything he'd spent months protecting finally hurtled toward its ending. The streets were quiet at this hour, most of the city already winding down for the night, and the drive itself felt strangely slow, every red light stretching longer than it had any right to.Asher opened the door before he even knocked, his face pale, his hands wrapped tightly around a mug of tea that had clearly gone cold sitting untouched."He's on his way there now," Ethan said, stepping inside."I know," Asher said quietly. "I've been staring at my phone since we hung up."They sat together on the couch, the television on but muted, neither of them actually watching whatever silently flickered across the screen. Asher's leg bounced restlessly, and Ethan finally reached over, resting a steady hand against his knee to still it."You don't have to be calm," Ethan said gentl
The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 115 : Tonight
Marcus sat in his car outside Ethan's apartment for nearly ten minutes before finally going inside, his hands still gripping the steering wheel long after he'd cut the engine, his mind replaying the same argument over and over without ever settling on a clear answer.Ethan opened the door before he could knock, reading something in his expression immediately. "What happened?""Nothing happened," Marcus said, stepping inside. "That's actually the problem."Ethan frowned, closing the door behind him. "I don't follow.""I went by the estate again tonight," Marcus said, pacing a few steps into the living room. "Killian was fine on the surface. Handling his father's business calls, signing off on some contract. But his hands were shaking the entire time, Ethan. Small enough that most people wouldn't notice. I noticed.""He's been under a lot of stress," Ethan said carefully."It's not just stress anymore," Marcus said. "It's been weeks of this. Watching him fall apart in slow motion, piece
The Enemy Alpha's Beta Chapter 114 : Watched Over
Asher noticed the car first on Tuesday evening, parked across the street from his building, two figures sitting inside it who never seemed to get out, never seemed to leave, even hours after he'd first spotted them through the living room window. The streetlight above caught the edge of the windshield just enough to reveal two shapes, unmoving, patient in a way that made the back of his neck prickle every time he glanced toward the glass."Ethan," he said, pulling the curtain aside just enough to peek without being seen. "There's a car out there. Same one as yesterday, I think."Ethan crossed the room quickly, peering carefully around the edge of the window. "Are you sure it's the same one?""Dark sedan. Tinted windows. It was there yesterday too, parked in almost the exact same spot." Asher's voice trembled slightly. "What if it's someone Julian sent? Watching the building, waiting for a chance to—""Don't," Ethan said firmly, though his own face had gone pale. "Let's not assume the
