All Chapters of Alpha Zayne's Regret: Chapter 41 - Chapter 47

Elias “Sure this is the place?" I asked Kimara, squinting at the old semi detached house. “Yep. Marlene has not been welcoming these past few days. Not sure today would be any different." She sighed.“Let's hope it will be." I smirked, combing my hair out with my hands. Diana's cousin, Marlene, used to have a really bad crush on me as a teenager. With me being said teenager and she being in her early twenties. She would call me handsome and discreetly send me little gifts and openly flirt. But it never went past that because for one thing, I was never attracted to her. And for another, I found it creepy as hell. Most of the other boys didn't though. They thought I was lucky. Marlene was hot. Deep brown hair,grey eyes, perfect hips, perfect height. What was not to like? Her personality. She was more saucy than Diana. I hoped time had mellowed her out but somehow managed to keep that soft spot for me. We walked up the porch steps. I could feel Kimara bristling behind me. No doub

Elias, " You'd better be dying or already dead in a ditch somewhere." Marissa's terse voice said immediately she picked up the call. “Hi to you too , Rissa." I managed to choke on my voice only a little. “Hi? Really?!" She was trying her best to sound angry but I could tell she wasn't. Or at least she wasn't just angry. The anger was doing a good job of covering up the relief she felt. I could still sense it regardless. “I'm sorry. I should have let you know about my trip before taking off…” " Ya think?!” " Rissa, come on….” " Do you know how worried I've been? How worried the twins have been?
