All Chapters of A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret): Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Avery POVThe room went quiet as I considered asking Elise if it was Richard or Aylin who leaked the secret. I dreaded letting her see my face so I didn't dare look her way yet.The sound of the ticking clock filled the silence. I could feel her waiting for me to refute her.When I didn't speak, she said,“I heard you attacked Kyle Atlas while the two were on a date. According to Rita, you would’ve ripped him apart if Aylin hadn’t called out to you. Yet those fools think it's because of Sara? How slow could they be?"Maybe I should argue that it was because of Sara, but what was the point?“Here’s what’s gonna happen,” she said as her voice assumed that no-nonsense tone.“You will tell the truth before the Council!"I turned to look at her."It doesn't matter what you and the girl decided. You will tell everyone that you're fated. That way, you stay out of prison. They'll know you attacked the male because she is your female.And you? You are the Alpha’s own secret eye in Orphic Valle

Avery POVWith my head against the door, I tried to reign in on my emotions as Aylin's presence grew fainter.I should not have said her name aloud. The Alpha definitely heard me. So did her brother. Their keen supernatural hearing couldn't have missed that whisper.The beta probably sent her away, preventing her from coming to see me.The minutes passed as I waited with hope that she would sneak back in to meet me.But it was the nurse that returned to the room. I didn’t bother rushing back to the bed. There was no point tricking her, so I simply backed away casually as she punched in the unlock codes.When she opened the door, she huffed in frustration.“Sergeant, please get to the bed. You’re not quite well yet!” Her voice was firm."You're not the Alpha. Stop ordering me around," I drawled. As I spoke, I tried to scan the hall with my weak senses.The guard came to stand by the door between the door, ready for some man-handling. His hard eyes seemed to repeat the nurse's request a

Jake POVI finally discovered the reason Rowan went batshit crazy on that guy. He'd just lost Sara to his brother, only to run into the woods and find "his mate" kissing another male. I could almost relate to how he must have felt.My head felt full. How could I not have guessed? Well, the easy answer was that I'd been preoccupied with another certain half-blood, that's why.Aylin and Rowan? Fated mates? Clearly, Goddess had been busy, and her focus was on my family for some reason. Now was not the time to ponder on all of that. There was a war to take care of and wolves to kill. The Night Storm awaited.As we made our way to battle, I brushed all other thoughts aside to consider the grave mistake Lazarus made. He would pay for it with his life. An attempt to harm an Alpha heir was sacrilegious. Every wolf knew this. Getting caught was suicidal. You only did something that stupid if you were a thousand percent sure you would win a war with that pack.All of his allies were staying

Hours later, Jethro's panic began to melt away. When we started preparing to leave, he was surprisingly settling into the role nicely. He'd gathered the elders and elite for a brief official introduction. Each noble family came into the pack hall for the first acquaintance while he noted them in the pack's register.His ascension rites would hold in twenty-four hours after the clean-up. Which meant we had to come back here in a day.It was late in the afternoon when we departed for the Forest Moon. Richard and half the warriors stayed behind to make sure all remained in order.In about forty minutes, after we'd had our power naps, the pilot lowered the private jet so that we could jump down and complete the journey through woods. We jogged the rest of the way, patrolling the nearby forests at the same time.It was an opportunity to make sure the rogue beta wasn't hiding nearby. Back in the Forest Moon, all was going on smoothly. Not everyone knew of the battle, though they all knew of

Nick was clearly speaking into her mind now, but she wasn’t having it. When I came out of the water, they were yards away but not out of earshot. Their son followed them like a puppy, eyes moving from one to the other. Apparently, the era of arguing in front of the kid was not over yet. I prayed the girl's voice would fade soon enough.“I told you, I don’t want you anxious about anything," Nick said aloud. "And how can you say that? Of course, there would be a later. I know his moves and I have so much to live for."“Did you think of me? Did you think of us!" She cried. "Fate, I can't believe this! What, I'm too frail and stupid to handle the news?"You are frail, I thought. "Ah hell! Oh Fate! How can you ask these things, Sara." Nick replied, frustration filling his voice. "You're all I think about, but I do not think you stupid. Also, lower your voice, please! I'm still traumatized by our past. It's disconcerting to see you upset."Wait till after the fight to tell her that, dumb
