Semua Bab A Secret Baby For The Alpha Quarterback: Bab 201 - Bab 210

Laura."I'm Sam, your new CEO starting today," he said, voice cool and detached, like we were strangers.Isabella kicked me under the table, whispering, "Holy crap, he's gorgeous! Why are you so calm?"I opened my mouth, but no words came. This was a nightmare. The man who abandoned me and our son was now my boss?I didn't hear a word of the meeting, my heartbeat drowning everything out. Sam's voice stabbed like knives, and he never looked at me again.When it ended, I grabbed my folder and bolted for the door. I had to get out—now."Laura."His voice stopped me, cold and formal. "Stay. I need to discuss last week's reports with you."I froze, spine rigid. Every eye in the room turned to me—curious, envious, probing.Isabella gave me a sneaky "good luck" gesture, completely misreading the situation. I took a deep breath, turned, and forced myself to meet his gaze. "Yes, Mr. Sam."His lips curved into a smile, devoid of warmth. "My office. Now."SamThe office was just the two of us

LauraI stood at Sam's desk, clutching a stack of files, eyes glued to the text, as if the numbers could save me from this torture.His office always carried that faint cedar scent—his scent. It was like a key, unlocking instincts I fought to bury."This report needs your signature, Mr. Sam," I said, voice steady, professional, like we were just boss and employee. But when he reached for the files, his fingers brushed my hand, and my breath caught.My skin burned, wolf senses dialed to eleven. I could hear his steady heartbeat, smell his maddening scent. My throat tightened. I bit my lip, the pain a desperate distraction.Sam frowned slightly. "You okay, Laura?" His voice was low, concerned, screwing with my pulse even more.I forced a smile, lips stiff. "I'm fine, thanks." Inside, my wolf howled, urging me closer, craving his touch. But my brain slammed down an iron gate, locking me in place.His gaze lingered, like he was trying to read me. Panic hit. I fumbled with the files, hidin

SamI stared at the sealed letter in my hand, fingers nearly crushing the paper. The ink was still wet, the words cold and ruthless: Forcibly retrieve Laura and her son Ryan. If necessary, use the child to compel the mother to fulfill pack breeding duties.The elders' crimson seal glared back, bold as blood. My eyes burned—maybe my obsession with Laura had been too obvious, tipping them off.The night pressed heavy outside, but I felt no chill, just rage boiling in my chest. They dared target Laura and Ryan? Those old bastards knew she'd left the pack, hid her identity to live a normal life. And still, they wouldn't leave her alone.I snapped the letter shut, my eyes flashing gold. My Alpha instincts roared, urging me to claim Laura and Ryan, to shield them completely. But reason clamped down hard. Not yet.Laura was still wary of me. If I moved too fast, she'd bolt again. The elders were sneaky—they wouldn't strike openly. They'd wait for her weakest moment, like Ryan's next treatmen

LauraThe next day, a fancy gift box sat on my desk, tied with a blue ribbon. No name, but I knew it was him. Like the anonymous roses last week, or the limited-edition perfume in my drawer two days ago.Isabella leaned over, winking. "Another one? What's it this time?"I opened it, face blank. A designer bracelet, a tiny wolf-head charm glinting. Expensive as hell."Whoa!" Isabella whistled. "Big spender. Why not just say yes to him?""He and I are nothing," I snapped, slamming the box shut and shoving it deep in my drawer."Come on, the whole office sees he's got it bad for you," she teased, voice low. "Keep saying no, and he'll probably propose in front of everyone.""Isabella!" I cut her off, sharper than intended. "That's not funny."She blinked, raising her hands. "Alright, chill." But as she turned, I caught her muttering, "You're totally into him..."I bit my lip, frustration boiling.Sam's moves were getting bolder, and the office's misconceptions grew worse. Every gift I ret

SamHer movements stopped, eyes icing over. She stood, looming over me, green eyes blazing. "Sam, you got something twisted.""What?""My love life, my past, my future—none of your damn business," she said, each word sharp as a blade.I narrowed my eyes. "Not my business?""Nope." She stayed cold, distant. "You're not my Alpha, not my mate, not Ryan's dad. We've got nothing but that fucked-up night."I stood, pain ripping through my wounds, but I didn't care. I grabbed her wrist, pulling her close. "Then why's your body still wired for me? Why do you shake when I touch you?"Her breath quickened, but she lifted her chin, defiant. "That's just wolf instinct, not you.""Instinct?" I chuckled, thumb brushing her pulse, feeling it race. "Then why's your heart pounding?"She yanked her hand back, stepping away, eyes flashing with anger and a hint of panic. "Because you make me sick!"Her words cut deep. I went quiet, then laughed. "Laura, you're adorable when you lie."Her fingers tremble
