The Alpha’s Second Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

"What were you two talking about?" My tone is sharp and suspicious. Sandra starts to fiddle with her fingers as her gaze drops to the ground. Oliver is the one to speak first. "Nothing all that important." He speaks for the both of them, and I raise a brow. "Really?" I inquire in an unbelieving tone, and he nods his head. "Yes. You shouldn't really bother yourself with it." He smiles, and I stare at him for a while. I search his figure for anything odd or suspicious, but he gives off nothing. I think I'm crazy; I'm starting to see things. What exactly did I see? Nothing. They were just talking, and now I'm interrogating them like I caught them tangled up under sheets. Something must be wrong with me. I let out a heavy sigh and shake my head as a smile forms on my features. "Okay then," I chirp, and I don't miss the relieved sigh that Sandra lets out. Oliver turns around to pop someth

"What? What are you talking about? What did I lie about?" I ask all in one breath, and they huff.Dylan, their representative, comes forward as a bridge between me and his siblings."For one, you weren't out of the country saving kids. I know the truth. This place isn't a hospital. Secondly, you lied about who we are. Oliver said, This is our home.""So didn't we live here before? You were so tired of us that you came to live here all by yourself, and when you got bored, you made Oliver come get us. I don't like you, mummy." Dylan accuses me.My first thought is to burst into a fit of laughter, but I don't do that. If I do, it'll piss them off more. So I swallowed all the humour in my throat and put a solemn look on my face."You got it all wrong. The first reason I came here was to help someone I knew. He was like a father to me, and he was sick. Now that he's gotten better, that's why I got Oliver to bring you guys here.""The illness was contagious, and I didn't want you guys to ge

"I'm sorry." Harry says in a soft voice, and I stumble back at the suddenness.He stands up from the bed to level with me—more like tower over me, but you get the point."What did you say?" I asked to confirm if I heard the correct thing."I said I'm sorry. I know that I did a lot of wrongs towards you. A whole lot, and I, I... regret them." He struggles to speak, and I start shaking my head, not believing the words that I'm hearing.He's apologising to me?That doesn't sound right. Perhaps I've fallen into an alternative universe because this moment cannot be real, and Harry cannot be the one standing in front of me and apologising for what he's done."Being an alpha comes with a target point pinned to your back. I found that hard the way," he says, struggling to speak, like he's forcing the words to come out of his mouth."What? What are you saying?" I try to wrap my head around this entire situation, but it's not working out."I'm saying that I'm sorry. I'm saying that I shouldn't

After the day is over, I retreat back to my quarters to see Oliver already in bed, waiting for me. He's bare-chested with boxer briefs on.I smile at the sight as I kick off my shoes."My alpha fiancée," he teases me, and I smile. I haven't seen him all day, so hearing his voice alone does things to me.I take off all my clothes until I am in my underwear, then I cannonball into bed."Someone is in a hurry today," he remarks as I climb on top of him, straddling him."I missed you," I say as I place a chaste kiss on his lips."I missed you too." He says this as he deepens the kiss and places his hands on my waist.I start to remove the strands of my bra to free myself as he starts to speak."I heard you talked to Harry today about his punishment." He says as he kisses my jawline down to my neck."Yes, he's on board with it. He's giving me a list tomorrow as he starts his punishment." I say as my bra fully comes out, springing my breasts free. Oliver uses one of his hands to pinch my ni

"He went to the Johnsons to apologise, you know, for his punishment. People around me didn't take it lightly. They started to attack, and he didn't do anything. They're all gathering around him, and he's not doing anything. He's not fighting back. Why isn't he fighting back?" She grabs my arms and starts to shake me.I stop her and pry her arms off me before I rest my hands on her shoulders, trying to calm her down."Bubbles, you have to relax. You're not making any sense. I can't understand you." I say really slowly, and I see that tears are still running down her face."Just calm down. Take deep breaths." I tell her, and she tries to do just that. After a few seconds, when she calms down, I ask her to explain what she was saying earlier."They're attacking him on the north side of the pack. The next family on his list stays there. People don't really appreciate the form of your punishment for him, and they tried to take matters into their own hands. They're going to kill him; you ha
