Semua Bab A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret): Bab 181 - Bab 190

As Nasir drove down to my friend's, I took out my phone to order an Uber to wait somewhere in the same street. As soon as we reached, the Uber Toyota that was my ride came into view. It had just arrived too and slowed down to park across the street from Dora’s. My friend's lights were on, so I gave a silent prayer of thanks. The Uber driver was already calling me when I got out of the Benz. If I asked Nasir not to wait around, he would get suspicious. I answered the call, telling my ride to move farther down the street. I had to lose Nasir somehow. When I glanced around to look at him, he gave me a single nod, a slight frown creasing his youthful features.Five minutes later, Dora had let me in and lent me a silly coat with a hood. Then she led me out of the house through her bedroom window. It was her boyfriend, Terry, who escorted me past their neighbors’ backyards. Minutes later, we emerged at the front of the yard where the Toyota was parked. I got into the cab without looking

Jake POVHours earlier,Two days. That was all the Chases and Sonya would get from me. If they didn't tell Jane the truth by then, I would do the honors. It was one day down, one day to go. Nick would be back by then, and I would've settled the pressing business matter that required my attention both here and in New York. I planned to take the entire weekend off starting Friday to go handle my family matters. I needed to be with my wife and mate.With these thoughts came the dawning realization for the millionth time that I was actually fated to an Alpha-blooded female. Oh, how Goddess must have rolled on the floor laughing at me when I thought briefly that Jane was just a simple town girl. For a moment there, I'd actually considered myself too high-ranked to be mated to the half-blood she-wolf the Fate gifted me. I'd been mistaken and full of myself indeed. My phone rang, interrupting my thoughts. Rather than a business call, it was Nasir on the line."What's up?""Beta, Senior Ch

Jake POVIt took twenty minutes to discover that Jane was not at her boss'. According to him, she'd snuck out around the time we talked. An Audi came to pick her up and she left without telling him. She lied to me. I guessed I deserved that for not telling her about the mate bond sooner. I spent the rest of the night scouring the entire town. At some point, I caught a whiff of her scent along the way, but that was all. It was too faint, which meant she'd merely passed by. Jane was not at her omega friend’s house where Nasir had dropped her. Neither was she hiding in her bedroom at her mom’s. She didn’t sneak into her workplace to stay the night. Nor was she at her ex’s. The warrior on guard near the town's exit said he spotted an Audi with an unfamiliar license plate, driving into town sometime past midnight.“It was a human. I have no doubt,” he explained. “A civilian. Not a witch or anything like that. He drove back out within an hour, so I’m guessing he was a taxi service or s

Jane's voice and the sound of my name was a comforting song, lifting my heart out of my stomach. Though only briefly. “Hey, wife, you’re alright?”“Yeah… he tied me up,” she replied, sniffing.“I've told you not to curse," I tried to joke."You are the Beta's mate. And I’m coming for you. Hang in there, yeah?”"Yes." Another sniff. I could feel her nodding.Then I recalled an important secret was being kept from her. With the Senior sticking by me like glue, it was clear that he was ready to tell the truth. I desperately needed all the points I could earn at this time, even though we hadn't rescued her yet. “Also, I know you said not to tell you, but I'm sure you'd want to know this. Jet’s father is Florian! I think you know him as Rudy?"It was petty as hell, but I didn't care. The Senior was watching me. No reaction. Sadly, Lee snatched the phone away before I could catch a sense of Jane's reaction. "We're in Jamestown, Beta. I'll send you a pick-up location. You have until da

When we came out of the warehouse, I saw that dawn was not as close as he thought. It was still pitch dark. Two men waited by a window-less van a few feet away. As we came close, one rushed to pull the door open. He was a werewolf. Scarred face began to urge me inside when a strongly familiar presence registered. The men felt it too and stopped shot.A few feet from the vehicle, Jake appeared. Naked except for a pair of dark briefs. His eyes shone like blue lightning as he regarded me. I caught the vague sound of a low growl. Maybe that was in my head. A light breeze tickled my forehead, travelling down my entire body. I could've sworn he was performing some kind of mental check on me.“Beta Jacob, how did you find this place?” Scarred face asked in a sharp, breathless voice.Jake inhaled deeply as if drinking in the air, his eyes never leaving me."Her scent? She's your mate? Well, this is interesting!" Scarred face said, grabbing and pinning me to himself. He wrapped a large hand
