บททั้งหมดของ Accidental Bride for the Alpha King: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

HARRY "You really need to change that rigid mindset of yours," a deep jovial voice chuckled as I felt a hard palm tap my shoulder.I shook my head as I tried to clear the fogginess in my brain, trying to recollect where I was."Look alive, Nate," the voice urged. "We have work to do. You shouldn't be dosing off at a time like this."That voice sounded familiar. Too familiar. It was a voice I would never forget, one that was etched deep in my consciousness with the perpetual fondness of a lifetime.A voice that should have died months ago."Garrett?" I called as I looked up at the source. It truly was Garrett. His scruffy beard, neatly cut black hair and warm brown eyes. He had that perpetual smile on his face that was a total contrast with me at first, and then became contagious whenever I was with him. It was my best and only friend, Garrett."What happened?" I asked. "How are you here?" "What do you mean?" he cocked an eyebrow. "We've been driving together for about thirty minut

HARRYThe days passed quite uneventfully for me while also being extremely tiring and worrisome at the same time. Peggy stayed by my bedside all day and night, only leaving when she absolutely needs to, while Kate visits me once in a while to see her friend. With Peggy by my side, being stuck on this bed doesn't seem so bad. I know I shouldn't but I feel warm whenever she's around. That beautiful smile just feels so surreal even though I know there is immense danger hidden behind it.In that aspect, my day was bliss everything felt so surreal. I couldn't help but enjoy my time in the hospital.On the other hand though, my anxiety shot up through the roof everytime I heard her name. Emily.The kid saved by Kate and Peggy along with other kids who were supposed to be trafficked for all sorts of vile things. I had all of her information wiped out before giving her to social services so I'm not bothered about her identity and her relation to Garrett being leaked out, but she knows me,

HARRYThe bad news plunged the whole cartel into a frenzied mode. More recruits were being introduced into the ranks and specialists and elite members of the cartel are being called back from their missions. The once serene basement in which me and Benjamin fought about a week ago is now the hub of a cacophony of disharmonious gunfire. The new recruits needed training and Benjamin diligently made sure that their training progressed quicklyby effectively turning the basement into a temporary gun range since the main gun range was already filled to capacity. The noise generated from incessant gunfire was unbearable and the fact that we were underground made things a lot worse.The elite forces and specialists have been recalled from their missions or given an ultimatum to complete them and return at once so things were going to get even more noisy. The thought of it made my stomach churn. I had expected the cartel to have a decent number of specialists and elite forces since she had m

HARRYThe private meeting between the three of us took a lot longer than I would have liked. Going over priority targets, the layout of the possible battle ground as well as an efficient signal to inform me when it's time for me to slip away, took a lot longer than I expected.Personally, I would have liked to not even have this meeting which basically puts my life in peril, but I don't have a choice anymore.We headed out after about an hour and a half to her office where we presume the rest of the guys are waiting."Aren't they going to be upset that you kept them waiting for about an hour and a half?" I asked as we neared the office.Kate gave me a curious look."Upset with who? Me?"Seeing that look, I could already understand how foolish my question was. "Never mind."I reached for the door once we were close and opened it, giving way for the two ladies to walk in first.Everyone inside the room stood up to salute them as they made their way to the desk at the opposite end of th

Chapter 40HARRYHer words seem to have done the trick as Rudolph looked forward with a straight face. He didn't show it but one could tell that he was shaken by those words.The elevator opened to a smiling face. A man no more than forty-five was standing in front of the elevator with a large smile. He pulled Rudolph out with ease and then placed his hands to stop the door from closing."Welcome, Kate Rivera," he greeted. "It's a pleasure to have you."Kate eyed him for a few seconds, sizing him up before finally talking. "It sure doesn't seem like it."He laughed heartily at that which felt so put of place since nothing was supposed to be funny. "That was a good one."Kate sized him up again with a question in her eyes.He seemed to have noticed it too as he immediately introduced himself."Oh, yes. My name is Frederick Edge. You can just call me Freddie."He then looked down Rudolph who he still held by the collar. "This shrimp is directly under my command. I'm sorry if he trou
