บททั้งหมดของ A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret): บทที่ 201 - บทที่ 210

Jane POVThe hardness in Jake's eyes told me that he was ready for an actual fist fight with Jet if I attempted to leave with him. "I'll have to ask you to leave, Jet," he said firmly. "You can wait downstairs forever if you want. My mate isn't going to Jefferson with you, yeah?""She'll speak for herself, Beta," Jet carped. "Also, you shouldn't eavesdrop or barge in on other people's conversations, you know. It's unbecoming. She and I are not done talking!""What more could you have to say to her, Alpha Jet? You're sorry you deceived her. She heard that. Now leave!""Honestly," I cut in. "I'm sick of everyone's bickering!"The two stared at each other like one would start throwing punches at any moment. "Jet, this is Jake's bedroom. I'm sorry but he wants you to leave..." I shrugged. "So we'll go to Jefferson together, right?" He tried again."I... I don't know,' I replied honestly. Jake's face fell at my words. "I have to think about it."Jet nodded and began to leave the room.T

My mother wiped the tears off her cheeks with both hands as she hesitantly followed Nasir.All I could do was turn around and bury my face on Jake’s chest. As his arms encircled me, I let out all of the hurt the last few days had brought, crying it all out without shame. He held me to himself, smoothing my back and whispering soothing words into my mind.'You're safe now, Petal. You're free from the nightmares. You'll sleep well from now on. I'm here. So is your father. And brothers. You've got another Alpha brother. I'll take you to visit him. You're alright now. I'm here, I promise you. Always. Forever.'Forever?One palm smoothed my back as I started to calm down. Moments later, I'd stopped crying. I didn't lift my head because of shyness. How could I have let my emotions take control like that?The little shyness problem vanished seconds later. What replaced it was a keen awareness of the male that held me. Maybe it happened at the same time for both of us. We gradually became co

"I... There's not much to say. You already know the situation. What are you guys doing in town? You said we won't see you till New Year's eve.""You stole a prisoner? An enemy of the First family?""Borrowed. And I've taken her back. The Alpha gave me the Ok. And he helped a lot.""I don't know the situation like you claimed. Tell me.""I'm a married male," I remarked simply.The look on his face reminded me of a long time ago in my early teens when I crashed his Harley Davidson unto Alpha Zion’s Jeep. I couldn't tell if he feared that I'd gotten hurt or if I was about to get flogged and grounded for life."She's my mate, dad.""How does that explain why you're MARRIED? A young Mrs. Carlisle that your mother knows nothing about?""She didn't know anything about her wolf side. I had to... keep her with me, and that was the only way.""Let me see if I understand this," he said. "You saw her on the full moon. Your hearts were joined. Then you walked up to her to PROPOSE MARRIAGE? Did you

Jane POVJake stomped into the room and came to stand behind me. Like he meant to protect me from what Rudy was saying. I felt the light touch of his hand on my waist as my new dad glared at him. With a deep sigh, Rudy refocused on me. He resumed speaking as if Jake was not there,“You wanted a break from town, remember? Why not come away to the Golden Crescent. I'm not asking you to move permanently. Just for a little while. Let the she-wolf emerge in the land of her fathers. You can take a few days to tour the city after that. I'll show you around, show you your... root. The place is second home, if you want, of course. Now, I don't know what marital problems you're having...” Hard eyes glanced at the hubby briefly."We don't have marital problems, Senior." Jake's voice was calm but firm behind me.Rudy ignored him and went on, "But like Jet said. What you need is a change of scene to clear your head."I found myself seriously considering the older male's suggestion. There was no

Jane POVWhen I opened my eyes again, sunlight poured into the luxury bed chamber where I laid. I had been dreaming of running in the wild. Not from fear or from being chased, but for the sheer pleasure of it. The feeling of joyous excitement lingered as I came fully awake. I realized that I felt much better than last night.Jake sat sprawled on the one-seater sofa, his face resting on one palm and his eyes shut. He no longer wore a t-shirt. Just a singlet and shorts. His serene, rugged face reminded me of a modern painting of Saint Michael the Archangel. A warrior prince. The corner of his lips curved in a slight smile. He was dreaming of happy things. I could tell.I let myself drink in the sight of him. How I wanted so much to touch him. To run my fingers over the lines of those tattoos on his abs. My guardian angel. My destined partner. He was never ashamed of me. It was clear now that he did want me but had been fighting it. My heart warmed sweetly at the thought, and the fact t
