Cuddle Me, Alpha のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Xavier "Isn't there another way?" I asked Gilbert, and he just stared and contemplated what to tell me? "I do not want to have to deal with my father. You know how difficult it was for him to hand everything to me, and then this happened. He won't give it back. Ever heard of a broke Alpha before?" I asked, and Gilbert chuckled, knowing precisely what I meant. I did not know what I did to my old man to make him mistrust me this much, but the rift between my father and me was wide, and this whole Isabella thing had just made it wider. "Do not worry; I have you covered on that. I will include a hidden clause that requires him to hand the assets back to you when Isabella is out of your life; he is also required to make funds and resources available at your request during this period. I know he is your father, but you are alpha now; he can't reverse that. He will have no choice but to do as the contract states," he said, and I understood his angle. "Let me think about it and get back

Lauren Xavier was still in his office attire, meaning he had just arrived. He approached me where I stood, somewhat lost in thought. My reverie was for a second, and I doubted he noticed, but the moment he pulled me close to his body, I swallowed, not wanting to think of what he might be thinking. "Did you miss me?" he asked me, staring deep into my eyes, and I nodded without hesitation. I would have held my tongue, but how could I at this proximity? "Good, because all I could think of was you," he said and bent to kiss me on my lips. His kiss was gentle, but I wanted something rough. All the butterflies and dirty thoughts that had built up the entire day got me wanting more. I reached for his shirt, and he chuckled a bit, helping me take it off faster. I did not know what was coming over me, but I wasn't the same Lauren anymore. This Lauren was willing to explore with none other than Xavier. Our kiss was ferocious, and he carried me while I wrapped my legs around him

Xavier I hung up the phone and decided to call the wolf community leader. He had no power like I did, but he often organised meetings to help us communicate with other packs in other cities. It was eight thirty, so I had to hope he would answer because it was a bit too early, but I needed to do damage control before it got out of hand. The man answered after the first ring, and he was respectful about it. "Good Morning, Alpha Blackwood," he said, and I sighed. "Good morning, Epsilon Nightshade," I responded, and he waited for my instruction. "I am calling about a rumour that might be in circulation. Please boldly disregard and state during the next meeting that I am not mating with Miss Luisa Havenwood. I am married, and once my issue is sorted out, I will know what to do next. As for the issue with the hunters, I plan to turn myself in and spare our pack the wrath should it get to a bad situation. Please make this very clear and disregard anything you will hear from anyone, especi

Lauren Morning came, and I woke to find Xavier packing for the trip. He usually had people do this for him, but our arrangement made him a bit independent of his workers. "Good morning," he said without looking in my direction. I guess I must have made some noise waking up. I got out of bed and went to brush my teeth. Exiting the bathroom, Xavier was still at it. I was amazed by how he masterfully folded his shirts into his bag. I never had people doing my chores, yet I sucked at things like that. Somehow, I didn't want to pack my bags in his presence because I knew precisely how I would do it. Stuff everything in and figure it out when we get to the venue. I guess I would have to learn somehow. "Do you need me to help you pack?" He asked me with a smile, and I shook my head. He looked handsome without trying, and I was a bit jealous. His good looks were irresistible, and the fact that he was a gentleman added to the attraction I was feeling towards him. "Not really; I will do

Xavier I would lie if I said I wasn't worried when Landon took Lauren out on a stroll. It troubled my mind to think of what he might be telling her. I knew there was nothing between them, and they were just good friends, but the jealousy was natural, and I felt extremely possessive towards Lauren. I stood outside the cabin, waiting for them to emerge. When they finally emerged, I saw Lauren wearing Landon's Jacket, and my wolf growled, but I controlled myself. I had brought her to the resort to spend some quality time with her, and that was what I was going to do. I was troubled for the better part of the day, and the only time my mind was clear was when I was with Lauren. The moment she fell asleep in bed, my fears returned, and I knew I would have to call Gilbert to inform him about Luisa's misconduct. I also knew it was time to punish Luisa for trying to sabotage me and jeopardise my case. "Soren, meet me outside my Cabin," I linked my Beta. Since I became Alpha, I ha
