บททั้งหมดของ Tempting My Alpha Daddy : บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

{~Nathaniel Cross~}Wallowing in regret is the one thing I should be doing, but I’m not. I was on my way to pick a fight at the local ring. Anyone can sign up and get their ass beaten for a bunch of cash. I have no business with the money; I just wanted to fight.There are big guys in this pack who can put up a good fight.I was so close when Margaret called with excitement. Telling me to come home in time for dinner. I was curious at first, wondering why she needed to tell me that. I didn’t intend to skip dinner today, but then she mentioned the reason.Cherlyn had a new boyfriend, and she was hoping it’d be Loki.I should have used my head. Calmed myself down instead of breaking several traffic laws to get back to the house. I should have accepted Cherry’s vague explanations instead of touching her, kissing her.I could still feel the softness of her wet folds against my fingers. Those panties couldn’t hide anything. That girl wanted me. She moaned for me. She said it was her secret

{~Nathaniel Cross~}I sighed into the palms of my hands. Of course, this dinner had turned into a nightmare. I don’t know what I could have done differently.I don’t like to yell at Margaret, it reminds her of her ex-mate too much. All he did was yell. I prefer to be kind to her, to make sure my actions never once remind her of that monster. But what can I do to save her from herself? Doesn’t matter how I think about it.I’m left feeling hollow. I don’t want to demonize Margaret’s actions, but at the same time, Sheryl did nothing to deserve being humiliated like that.Even Cherry was disgusted with her mother’s actions.I can’t play the mediator this time. I need to say something. I need to let her know this can’t happen in front of me or a stranger again. Sheryl will not be blamed for who she chooses to love. Which means for now, I can’t bring up what I know about the Evermore family.In their defense, they’re good people. They just had a really bad egg that tormented so many packs,

{~Cherry Reed~}Andrei took Red and me out to dinner that night to clear her mind from all the horrible things that had happened. We returned home late, and I left them to have fun.I wish I could say I had a different experience from the past two nights, that I slept soundly, but it was the same thing. I didn’t even try, lying on my back and staring at the roof. Counting all the tiny scraps I could find.Though I doubted there were any. My brain was playing tricks on me.I couldn’t even close my eyes. That thing about your body forcing you to rest doesn’t happen for me until I’m truly exhausted.For now, it doesn’t seem like I’ve reached that level of tiredness.By the time the sun came up, I was regretting a lot of my choices. Tonight, I’ll take my sleeping meds. Just one. Just like the doctor recommended.Though I’ll be the first to admit that I’m really scared. I know myself all too well. If one pill touches my tongue, I’ll end up taking more. Maybe there’s another way. I’m free t

{~Nathaniel Cross~}Aeron arrived on time. Cherry had waited for him outside. I stood with her. Not wanting her to meet with my brother alone. If she thought he was intolerable at family dinners, then she hasn’t experienced him by himself.To his credit, Aeron is not as bad as Dallo. But he’s worse than Micah. Actually, scratch that, they’re both shitty. Aeron just does his thing with a smile. And I should also add, he’s a big pervert. While a lot of people in my family believe omegas are the runts of the world and have opted to treat them poorly, Aeron kind of thinks he can make a pass on any omega, married or not.If he likes one, he’ll say the most outlandish things to them without even considering whether they’re people who deserve basic respect.Normally, I can trust him around Cherry, but I’m pretty sure things are different now.I noticed over the family dinner three nights ago that he was a little too nice to Cherry. My brothers are only nice to the twins when they want someth

{~Nathaniel Cross~}There was a soft knock on my bedroom door. It’s almost midnight, no one should be up. Cherry had shown up hours earlier to get the one pill she needed to help her sleep. I know Red was having a sleepover, and she’s never awake this late unless something wrong happened.I slid out of bed, closing the distance to the door in four strides. I opened it slowly to find Margaret there, staring up at me with a strange look of defeat.“Hi, can we talk?” Her question came out in this tiny voice. The caring part of me wondered if she’d had a nightmare that kept her from falling back asleep. We haven’t talked since that dinner.“We can talk here.”“Nathaniel, don’t be childish.” I slammed the door in her face without uttering another word. She pounded on it. “Okay, that was wrong of me to say. I’m sorry. I’m not here for me. I’m here on behalf of Cherry.I pulled the door apart again, worry filling my beast. “What happened to her?”“She won’t talk to me, and I’m… sure somethin
