All Chapters of THE ALPHA WANTS ME BACK: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

KOOKIE:The entire day, I keep working while cursing Levi for putting me up to the task. I thought it would be easy, but apparently the woman Billie was poisoned. She attended an event over the weekend, and she has been unwell since then. A friend poisoned her. That is another case for the police, and they are currently investigating. The entire day, I try to stabilize her, putting her on IV fluids.I am so invested in her I do not even realize time has passed until I check the time.“Nine!” I exclaim in panic, looking at my watch. Then I walk to one window, drawing the curtain open to see it is actually night.I rub my temples, taking a deep breath. My mind races as I try to remember what it is I am forgetting, but it barely registers in my mind.“The Alpha is here,” I hear Billie’s son say to his mother, and before I can speak, Levi walks through the door in the company of his guards.I scoff at the thought of him coming to scrutinize my job. Did he really think I would leave a poor

LEVI:Getting a call from Blue on the alpha hotline is the last thing I expect. Everything that happened between Kookie and Elias last night isn’t new to me. I watched how he broke her, and it hurt deep in the places I think I’ve numbed. Seeing her like that—shattered, knowing I can’t do a damn thing to help, kills me. I hate it so much, and I know what it takes to stop me from driving over and punching his perfect little face. But who am I kidding? I am the biggest villain in her story, and I don’t think I can undo what I’ve done to her.I barely slept last night, watching footage after footage like a fool, watching Elias play the part of a decent man—cleaning up, making breakfast, pretending he hasn’t just emotionally gutted her. I hate him. But I hate myself more for letting this kind of thing happen to her. Everything revolves around the decisions I make, because if I had been wiser, she might never have met Elias.I used to be the one who held her. Who made her laugh, and the one

KOOKIE:My head pounds like there’s a village of Smurfs throwing a party in it.A loud groan escapes my throat as I shift under the covers, and for a moment, I don’t know where I am. I open my eyes to see the stream of the setting sun filtering through the curtains. My tongue feels dry and heavy, and my stomach turns in slow, nauseating waves. I place a hand on my forehead as though that would make the drumming go away. Then I turn around, blinking slowly until my eyes form a full image of the glass of water covered on my nightstand with a small container beside it.I force myself to sit up, noticing a note by the pill and water.My fingers tremble as I reach for it, unfolding the paper with weak hands.“Take these when you wake up. You should rest if you still feel tired.”My eyes widen at the note as I recognize Levi’s handwriting, causing my face to pale. The pounding in my head heightens, and I swallow hard, clutching my head. I reach for the painkillers, flushing them down with w

KOOKIE:Horror drains from my parents’ faces at my confession, and for a split second, there is nothing but utter silence between us.“Who else knows?” Mother breaks the silence, and I stare at her with my tear-stained eyes.She grabs my hand. “This is all new to us, and it is a crime according to—”“Luna Jasmine is aware,” I cut her off before she begins to read the entire constitution of the Diamond Moon Pack. “And Elias too.” My voice goes really low, and my father claps his hands.“At least I do not have to worry about my grandchild being from a lowly pack.”“Nigel!” my mother cautions, and he throws his hands in the air with no atom of remorse in his eyes, obviously.Silence runs through again, then my mum keeps rubbing my hands before she lets out a sigh.“Blue doesn’t k

KOOKIE:The ringing of my phone startles me, and I take it out to see that it is Elias calling. It’s been almost two weeks since we broke up, and he hasn’t called or checked in on me to see if I’m surviving or not. That is very convenient for him to call me at this point when I’m trying to move on from him.My heart shakes in my chest as I watch the phone call end. I squeeze it in my hands, wondering if I should block him or not for taking my heart out and ripping it into literal shreds. If not that I’m a hopeless romantic, Elias is enough to make me give up on men. It was so brutal of him to hurt me that way.I try to steady my breathing, and the moment the phone rings again, I pick it up.“What do you want, Elias?” I ask before he speaks.“I want to apologize, Kookie,” he begins, but I don’t let my guard down around him. My jaw is tight, and
