All Chapters of A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret): Chapter 331 - Chapter 340

Tessa POVThe thing in Kevin's hand was indeed a betrothal ring! What mad game was this? My heart thumped loudly now.As he moved closer, I stepped back instinctively, suddenly confused and terrified. "You're out of your mind.""I should have done this months ago," he whispered. "Instead of letting that piece of sh!t Curtis think he could have you, I should've claimed you honorably."I couldn't believe what was happening. Kevin Fox was proposing to me? I also couldn't decide what I was feeling. Was this a dream or a nightmare?"I'm not out of my mind, babydoll," he went on. "You're my female. The only she-wolf I wish to keep!"As I backed away further, he reached out and caught my arm."You want this," he insisted softly. "As much as I want you. Yes, you've let another male put his hands on you. I blame our misunderstandings for that. I don't blame you."He had a firm grip on my hand now. I wanted to pull away but I was torn. Many different thoughts filled my head. This male was some

Tessa POVThe Chief was dressed in a simple tank shirt and shorts. That meant he was on his way into the woods. I stopped shot once I saw him approaching. The urge to turn around and run away nearly overcame me. Kevin's scent was heavy on me. I was sure.The look on his face meant that he had caught the foreign scent. A clear evidence of the illicit kiss from earlier. I wished to Fate that I could read his mind to know what he was thinking right now. The mere thought that he would stop desiring me made me ill."Richard," I murmured, taking a step closer.When did he get back? Oh, how I missed him. The deep frown on his face distracted me from this thought. His brow creased further as his gaze moved to my hand. Only then did I recall that I had Kevin's damn ring on my finger. 'Crap!'My hand shook as I lifted it, unable to decide what to do now. Our eyes held when I looked at him again. Then his gaze returned the finger."What is that?" His tone was sharper than I had ever heard him

Richard POVTessa Nile stood a few feet from me. The night had only just begun. I was not yet done with showing her that she couldn't possibly be engaged to Kevin Fox. So when I heard the Alpha's voice, all I felt was a mild curiosity about why he was here. His words did not make any sense at all neither was I able to process them at that instant.But as my focus returned to the she-wolf before me, the horror in her eyes must have turned on my brain. Nick's words re-echoed in my head.Theresa. Of the House of Kai? "Richard?" Nick called again. "Did you hear me?""Yes, Alpha." I kept my voice clear and even. "We'll be out in five."I felt his retreating footsteps as I asked the girl,"The House of what Kai? Tell me I don't know him! Not Lazarus, right?"Tears welled up in her eyes in response. Her chest rose and fell as she looked anxiously from the door to me. Fear was not the only thing I caught in her eyes. There was desperation too. The look caused an unrelenting, painful twist

Tessa POVThree days had gone by since the Alpha and Beta took me into custody. Gamma Richard might as well have bound my hands when he led me out of his house that night. I had not set eyes on him since then.When they were bringing me to this cell, I considered mindlinking him. But because of the Alpha and Beta, I couldn't say a word. Even now, as much as I wanted to see and talk to him, I didn't know what I would say if he appeared.He'd refused to look at me after we walked out of that bedchamber. It was the Alpha who had led the way up to the first floor of his mansion into this dimly lit room in the south wing. Three whole days had gone by. Only now did I have the sense of mind to look all around me.My prison had that stale smell still. The place had been uninhabited for a while. It also looked nothing like a prison. Only the faint smell of silver gave me the feeling that I was indeed behind bars right now. Apart from the fact that I was within the Alpha's house, the room wa

Tessa POV Alpha Nick did not show up the same day as Jake. I sat, stood, paced about the room waiting for him. It's not like I was eager to see the Alpha who considered me his enemy. In fact, it was the opposite. I would skip that particular one-on-one if I had a choice. I only needed him to come soon because, according to Jake, I'd see Richard after that meeting. When the door beeped later, after the Beta left, I braced myself for Nick. But my shoulders sagged when a less dominant presence filtered into my prison. It was the doctor whom I'd completely forgotten about. Tina came with her and waited while she took her samples. The latter who was my guard for four seconds, didn't spare me a single look or word. A part of me wondered what she thought about all of this. Did she consider me an enemy of the pack? Once the two females left, I went back to waiting for the Alpha and his Warrior in Chief. At some point, in the middle of the night, I dozed off and dreamt of the Richard Wolfe
