All Chapters of A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret): Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

That was my grandfather's name. "So my mother's the one who looks familiar, not me," I said, lifting my glass of water. "No, it's both of you," he said simply. "And I think your mom would remember me if she looked closely. You should ask her. My father was in that shop a lot all through our stay at that hotel."My mom did look close enough yesterday, and she doesn't like you. My mom did grow up in louisiana though, and Didier was indeed her father's name. He died before I was born. By then, my mom had moved far away from her city of birth. According to her, the place held nothing but bad memories. The only good thing about it was herbalist friend, whom she strongly believed could cure me of my sleepwalking. "It's been years," Jet went on. "I was a little kid, but I recall that particular trip cuz of how my dad was.""How was he?" I asked even though I wasn't particularly interested."Let's just say he was out of his mind. He lost someone. Also, the shop's name is on one or two of

There was no trace of disdain in those words. Wait, was she happy for the two of them? My blood ran hot with annoyance. They had lunch. That was all. It's not like they were getting mated tomorrow. If I spoke these thoughts out loud, she might grow suspicious. So I bit back the words and turned the focus on her silly request earlier."You know, it's Tuesday. You should be busy helping out at the national park. My answer's No. You can not go to L.A for what is hardly your business.""Did you just say hardly my business? I can't believe this. The sergeant fought with Kyle because of me, Jake! Did you forget already?""How did you know he has a thing for you? Did he tell you that himself? Cuz he laughed really hard when I mentioned it."Her eyes flashed with what looked like hurt? I was too unfocused, so that may have been mere irritation."Don't ask how I know. Us females can tell sometimes," she replied.Sometimes was the keyword here if she changed it to Never or No time. I knew for

Jane's eyebrow lifted. "You'll be in the city?" she asked.I nodded. As she waited for me to go on, I wondered if Jet told her anything. I doubted Sara would invite her to the mating ceremony. Please Goddess, let my guess be right. Her wolf may have woken up but she wasn’t quite ready to be in the midst of all those beasts. It would be too much for her and a lot of responsibility for me. I wasn't ready yet.“Oh, and here's another clause I want you to take a look at.” I highlighted the part and pushed the phone towards her on the table. It was safer. I couldn’t risk touching her fingers.“I don’t understand,” she said, zooming to read it carefully.“It means that you CAN eat at a nice restaurant, if you want. Say the word, and Nasir would drive you there. You don’t need a male like Jet to buy you food!""You think I went with him because I wanted to eat expensive food? I can't eat with a friend? Is that what you're saying?"F*ck!"No, I didn't mean it like that. Just that you cou

I gave a bitter laugh.“Alpha, she's an adult. So am I. I'll rather hear it from her if she wants me or not. You can't control whom I sleep with, c'mon!”I could feel my anger stirring.“So you do want to get in her pants,” Nick frowned. "But how come? She's different from your usuals. Why?""I'm not-"“You're right, you're both adults. Resisting your beta charms might be a little difficult for her, don't you think? I mean, it’s you. Jake Carlisle. Beta of the Great Forest Moon. The ladies man. Girls like you. I expect she wouldn’t be an exception, that's why I'm asking you to leave her alone. UNLESS you're playing for keeps. Which, judging from all the secrecy, I doubt that you are.”It was not an order. He couldn't tell me who to screw or not screw. It was a request. One I should grant wholeheartedly for my own good. And it was coming at the right time to keep me focused on my goal: freedom from the mate bond.The Alpha started to walk away as he spoke again,"My brother-in law is i

Avery POVAs my senses registered the person at the door, I shut my eyes, relaxed my body and willing myself to fall asleep. I’d been thrilled when the Chief Gamma brought the message that Elise was being delayed because her daughter went into labor. She was here now. Wasn't it too soon to leave the young mother?I felt like I was dying, thanks to my second attempt at escape. The silver burns were severe this time and had me confined to this bed. The place smelled like an infirmary now because of all the medicine.The doctor had left not too long ago, which meant that I was stable. The nurse was sticking by to keep an eye on me. Before the arrival of Mommy Reign and her crew, I'd wanted to move so bad, but my arms felt like ten logs of wood. All other body parts were the same. Though the feeling was an improvement from earlier when I'd been totally numb.Elise was talking to the warrior guarding me. Not aloud but through the mindlink, proving that he was one of her own people. I thoug
