All Chapters of The Daddy Alpha’s Little Human: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Poppy pushed the food on her plate uncertainly. She had felt emboldened by her time with Myrna, but now, sitting here across from Malcom, that all fled.Part of her was disappointed that he hadn’t immediately swept her into his arms the way he had when they first started this whole mess. Another part knew they needed to talk things through, and seriously hoped that was why he wasn’t touching her. A small voice in her head told her that he was already bored with her; just like everyone else.She desperately hoped that wasn’t true.Malcom, for his part, didn’t look any more comfortable than she felt. He downed his first glass of wine pretty quickly and tried to start a conversation a few times before giving up and poking at his steak, much like she was.“What’s really going on?” Poppy was surprised to hear herself break the silence.“What?” Malcom’s head shot up, probably just as shocked as

“So…” Poppy paused and pondered what Malcom had told her. “I’m your Fated Mate?”“Yes.” Malcom was playing with a strand of her hair. Somehow, during his story, they had moved even closer together; it’s like they couldn’t stay far away from each other for long. And he seemed to have a need to always be touching her.“But what about that Natalia person?” Poppy tried to remember all that had gone down the night of Malcom’s party, “She seemed pretty convinced that you two were a thing. If I’m your Fated Mate, why would she think that? Were you two together and then like… not?”Malcom huffed, but it didn’t hold any humor. “No, it’s… complicated. And something that I need to talk to you about…”Poppy listened with growing unease as Malcom related the events leading up to his party. A nagging voice in her head said that t

Malcom wasn’t sure what was going through Poppy’s mind at that moment. She had been quiet ever since he’d exploded about Natalia planning to murder his mate. He shouldn’t be surprised by the audacity. But he was.Raphe was a phenomenal hacker.But even he was having a hard time finding a link between the unknown wolf fur found at the scene and the Reachers.Some had to have tampered with the evidence. Whomever it was had done an excellent job at covering their tracks.But the lack of DNA in the system that matched the fur was a key indicator that the system had been tampered with. And with Poppy’s statement, he had more reason than ever to suspect the Reachers. They would not leave this alone. He had a sinking feeling that they wouldn’t stop until either they, or he and Poppy, were dead.This was not a game he was going to lose, though.And t

Owen was a master of stealth. He’d served in the human military for nearly twenty years. It was hard keeping his Lycan heritage a secret; there were many times he had bribed his way past medical exams. There was no way he was going to let a human government use him as an experiment, nor use him as a way to hurt his kind.But he also felt deeply that protecting the world — human and Lycan — was important. Sometimes, the bad guys needed to be taken out. Sometimes that involved military operations. Sometimes, that involved stealth.He was good at both; though every time he was on a mission where he killed someone, a little bit of him died. Which was one main reason he retired. The other was so he could better support his pack. With his connections to the human military and his experiences, he was a key asset to the Gaelach Úr Clan.And today, his expertise was coming in handy.The Forest Run Clan was easy enough to spot; too easy. Th

Stephan was rather pleased with himself. Everything went, mostly, according to plan. He was able to go in and plant the bombs on the planes with little incident. Though there was the case that at least one of his backup guards had gone missing during the fighting.He had expected some casualties. He had hoped most of them would be on the Gaelach Úr side. When he got back to the rendezvous point, however, his team was looking more bedraggled than he had expected. They didn’t have much to say other than they had followed orders: engage, and draw away any security from the airstrip.They were also a few Lycans short.Stephan had searched the area for bodies. He found one, one of his people. But there were still a two unaccounted for. No one really seemed to know what had happened to those two; they had spread out and moved away, per his order
