บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha's Ex-Con Human Nanny : บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

Mercedes' POV “You didn't have to be a complete ass to her Bradley,” Benjamin glared at me and I massaged my temples.“How far have you gone in figuring out a place for the warriors?” I asked and Benjamin's eyes hardened as he stared at him.*Have you even been listening to what I've been saying?” he asked.“I asked you a question. Have you found a place for the warriors to train?” I retorted as I leaned forward in my chair.“Ignoring it isn't going to make it go away Bradley,” he said and I remained silent as I returned to my paperwork.“What is it about Mercedes that makes you a ticking time bomb?” Benjamin probed and I growled.The mention of her name was enough to set something off within me.“I asked you a question which has relevance to the well-being of our pack Benjamin and as my beta that should be what is of the uttermost importance to you. You have no business with my interactions with the nanny,” I reminded him as I glared at him and Benjamin scoffed.“I know my responsib

Bradley's POV I sighed as I dropped the file onto the table and massaged my temples.I had been staring at the file for the last five minutes and yet I still couldn't comprehend what it was about as my thoughts were centered on one particular human.I growled as annoyance filled me, mostly with myself at how I had reacted.Why was I never in control when it came to Mercedes? It was as though I became robbed of all logic and common sense where she was involved.I cringed as I recalled how I had spoken to her. My wolf growled at me as I recalled her tear filled eyes just before she left my office and I leaned back against my chair.“Would you like to spit it out? Or are you going to keep tormenting yourself?” Benjamin's voice startled me as I had totally forgotten he was seated at the couch in the corner.“Spit what out?” I feigned oblivious.“Well, you have been sighing and mumbling under your breath for the last twenty minutes and you've hardly read through that file.” Benjamin point

Mercedes' POV I groaned as I felt something against my cheek and I used my hand to try to swat it away but instead, my hand met with flesh.My eyes snapped open and I stared up at Mr. Ford who was hovering over me with dark eyes.I immediately sat up and as I did so, the book and the picture which has been in my chest fell to the floor and Mr. Ford's gaze followed it.When had I fallen asleep?I could tell the exact moment Mr. Ford saw the picture as his face hardened and his nostrils flared. He bent down and picked up the picture.“Why do you have this?” His voice was eerily low.“I found it in the book,” I told him.“Why are you even in the library? Have you been snooping around my pack?” He gritted out and my brows furrowed in confusion.“Your pack?” I asked hesitantly. What did he mean?“My mansion. Have you been snooping around my mansion? What are you looking for? What do you hope to find?” Mr. Ford asked relentlessly and I could see the accusation in his eyes.“I just wanted t

Mercedes' POV “If you would just let me expl-” “I don't want any of your explanations-” Mrs Roberts began but this time another voice cut her off.“If she has to explain then let her.” Mr. Ford's deep voice called out from the door and my heart rate immediately picked up.I resisted the urge to turn and stare at him as I heard him approach.“What is going on here?” Bradley asked as he stopped beside me and I stifled the urge to close my eyes as his delicious scent wafted through the air.“You don't need to bother yourself on such insignificant issues Mr. Ford, I'm taking care of it.” Mrs. Roberts informed me and I cringed.I was the ‘insignificant issue’ as well as the ‘it’ she was talking about. I knew Mrs. Roberts never particularly liked me but I also thought she was just genuinely a mean person.“I want to know what this ‘insignificant issue' is,” Bradley announced and I wished the floor would open and swallow me whole.“Mercedes left the kids unattended. I came to check in on t

Mercedes' POV My heart hammered loudly in my chest as I stared at the wolf a few feet away from me. Suddenly this didn't seem like the brightest idea. The wolf was huge and magnificent and easily towered over me.How could a wolf be this big?My entire body went rigid as it watched me with sharp eyes and I wondered how I could retreat without getting hurt.I took a hesitant step back but the wolf growled, stopping me in my tracks and I gulped.What the hell was I going to do? Tears stung the back of my eyes and even though all I wanted to do was run in the opposite direction, I knew it wasn't the wisest course of action and so I stayed put.My body shook violently when the wolf took a step towards me and then another.The cold metal of the knife burned in my palm and I clutched onto the knife with both hands and held it out towards the wolf.The wolf stopped for a second and I could swear it cocked its head to the side as it assessed me.Could it realize the knife in my harm didn't p
