Semua Bab A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret): Bab 81 - Bab 90

Sara POV"No. Stop, Avery. I'm not leaving with you. He's not holding me against my will. How long have you known he's your brother?"As I asked again, I turned around to look at Nick. He stood by the door, watching the both of us."It doesn't matter, Sara," Avery replied impatiently."How can you say that? You always complained that I opened up. If you're my son's father's brother, don't you think that's something I should’ve known when you found out? I thought I was your girlfriend.""Was?" He asked with a frown. "What do you mean was? I didn’t tell you because I wasn't ready. I haven’t told anyone. You ARE my girlfriend, Sara?"He looked nervously at Nick as he said this."I was poisoned. Kinkbane. Ever heard of that?" Nick hadn't given me the full details. All he told me was the name of the poison I sniffed from the flower.Avery's eyes widened as his mouth fell open."So when you said you were coming to see me,""Yeah, that's why!" I replied with an edge.His brow creased in dis

A few days ago.Nick POVSomehow, I knew it was not wise to try to talk Sara out of her resolve yet. She was angry, frustrated and confused. Plus, I was unsure what to say to make things right between us. So I stayed silent till she got on the jet, telling myself to give her time.I quickly returned to dealing with the business of the day once she was gone. Within the next few hours as expected, photos of me and my little one were on TV and social media. It lifted my mood a little. It was hard to feel anything but free and light. My heart wouldn't stop fluttering. Last night had a lot to do with that part. Although the feeling was mixed with relentless anxiety over the fact that Sara was determined to keep hating me. She did not want to want me and I was clueless on how to change that, even though I had marked her. She meant to keep fighting her feelings. Which would put a strain on her general wellbeing. How did I prevent that if she refused to see or talk to me till the full moon

Sara POVDid Nickolas Reign just say he loved me? No, that's not what he said exactly. I waited for him to go on, not daring to assume anything.His fist was clenched tight on both sides. I had learned that this meant he was nervous. It seemed like he was searching for words. I wanted to shake him to get him to speak. It was on the tip of my tongue to beg him to continue when he took a deep breath, then started to speak again."You know, I've heard of guys, people like me, and betas, rejecting their mates as soon as the bond clicks into place. If she's half-blood or omega, they end it right then and there under the waxed moon. Most of them would tell you that they had to let go. Not because she's low-born, and they hate her for it. No. They do it because it's the only option. The only way to protect the girl from their families and friends. If they didn't end it that quickly, the feeling would wax strong. Like the moon. And their families would never accept the girl. In Jake's own

Avery Hawke"I said I'm fine, Uncle Jerry.""And I hear you. It's a pleasant night for a good run, don't you think? I want us to go together like old times."Wrong. Jeremy Colt was worried and wanted to keep an eye on him.Avery decided to pretend the older male wasn't there. He vowed to lose him soon enough because he really wanted to be alone in the wild.As they entered the woods, he started to undo his buttons to shift when his senses caught something.His uncle must've seen them too because he moved and stood in front of him, attempting to block his view. Too late. He already caught the two unmistakable figures in the distance.Avery watched as Nick led Sara James by the hand. They were heading out of the woods. Sebastian was a few feet behind the two, hands in his pocket. The Alpha had a foolish smile on his face. Not the fake, mocking type he'd seen a few times. In fact, he seemed different tonight. They both did. Maybe because he'd never seen the bastard smile before.The b w

Sara POV"You should be with Lily. Why are you here?"The Alpha's voice assumed its usual tone. The type that made you flinch if you were on the other end of the conversation."I had to come. It's important," Elise replied, matching his tone.Then she switched to mindlink as her eyes moved from me to him."Ah, I see," Nick replied aloud. "And I'm supposed to sneak in my house because?"Elise pursed her lips, displeased that he wasn't talking through the link. As she glared at him, I knew she was still speaking into his mind."Thanks for the heads up, mother. This is good, in fact."Looking down at me, he said,"There’s someone I'd like you to meet.""Nick, you're being rash!" Elise warned. "I doubt she's mentally ready for things like this."He ignored her and switched to mindlink.'I'd like to introduce you to someone. Alpha Lazarus of the Night Storm. Have you heard of him?''They're Forest Moon's ally. I know of him,' I replied.'He and my late father were close friends,' he said.
