Semua Bab The Hockey Captain I Slept With is My Stepson: Bab 1 - Bab 9

RAE “I will never return and that’s final,” I said, sitting across from Mandy on her office desk. Her fingers tapped the mahogany wood with unease. “I beg of you—“ “Stop.” I shot to my feet and paced in circles. After what I did, I couldn’t bear another second in that town. I had taken the next flight back to LA, but even the distance between us was laughing in my face now. It’s been a few days, but every time I closed my eyes, I saw his handsome face. My lips tingled with the memory of his kisses. I was repulsed and damningly attracted at the same time because no one had ever made me feel wanted. Not even my own parents or my mate. But he did. Malachar saw through me. He played the right cards to deceive me into his bed. If his wallet hadn’t slipped off the table when it did, I would have never discovered his government ID. I would’ve abandoned everything for him without hesitating. “Earth to Rachel?” I held my pointer finger out and faced her. “You’re the one on anothe

RAE I grabbed a pair of scissors, about to ruin my wedding dress. Then the door to my suite slammed open and my mother and my baby sister Johnie walked in, already dolled up while I was still in my running clothes. “Rae!” Johnie squealed and wrapped her tiny arms around my legs. I crouched to her height and snuggled closer. “Who’s this pretty grown-up lady and what have you done with my baby Johnie?!” I gushed and tickled her. “Confess!” She giggled and giggled. “Why were you holding scissors?” My mother’s gaze narrowed slightly. “And why—Rachel, what is this?!” “I don’t think it suits me.” I let Johnie go. “Are you joking? Almost every influential person in the city is here. Your obnoxious cousins. The mayor. Even Wondra’s CEO.” I blinked rapidly. If I became the talk of the town for fleeing my wedding, would Wondra TV still promote me as promised? “Rachel!” My mother suddenly yelled and then she pressed her fingers together to compose herself. “He’s doing us a fav

MALACHAR I came here to kill the Trydon pack Alpha’s ultimate wildcard. Why I just demanded that we leave together surprised even me. What if she didn’t know anything about Jason’s plans? The woman I met on that cliff didn’t strike me as the power-hungry kind or even someone with great magic. She seemed hardworking and committed with a kind of courage that was admirable. Gods, had I hit my head on a rock? What the fuck was I going on about? She had to die. “Malachar…” Damn. This was the first time she’d said my name since the lodge. I suddenly had the urge to grab her neck and have her repeat it a couple more times because her voice wasn’t nasal or annoying. It was soft and it had slight breathy notes, too. I’ve stood here this long because I like hearing it. “I know this looks bad, and I can’t keep putting all the blame on you, because I consented to sex with you despite being engaged to someone else.” “You don’t say.” I walked to a sofa in the room and sat

RAE A few days later, I walked into Wondra TV. “Tallulah, get off my phone,” I told my baby cousin, fishing for my entry pass in my bag, my cell trapped between my shoulder and my ear. “My followers are dying for an interview with the cake lady—“ “I already gave you my answer the other eight times you asked.” I swiped the ID, hurrying for the elevator because I was late for my meeting with Jameson. Now you’d probably be wondering why I was here and not on a honeymoon getaway with my billionaire husband. He left. Jason’s chauffeur took me home after the wedding and he never showed up. I’ve been holed up in his mansion for days, a sea of maids at my disposal and everything else I needed but him. I had hoped he had meant it when he said he forgave me. I was even anticipating our wedding night and all the conversations we’d have as promised. But he wasn’t picking my calls. The staff at home knew nothing. After a week, I gave up and called the office. My job was still the only
