All Chapters of The Alpha Who Left Me Pregnant: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

The idea of having some strange, fake flirting conversation with Varek over the phone made me feel like I was going to throw up... but I'd do whatever it took to save Kael. Anything. That was both the greatest honor and the hardest part of being a mother. I'd give up everything for him... even my own life and body if it ever came to that. Even so, Orion would never let things go that far. I'd do my part, and then we'd see what happened. The moment I thought about Kael, I slipped into a dark, depressing mood. It had already been a week since he was taken. I'd never been away from him for this long before. The longest time before this had only been five days, when he'd gone to a summer camp with some boys from Lucien's pack. I missed him so much that it physically hurt, and I still had no idea when I'd get to see him again. "You're upset," Orion said. "I can see it in your eyes." "I miss him," I said as I dropped onto the couch. "I miss him so much." Orion wrapped an arm around my sh

Jaxon told me we needed to meet at a small coffee shop in Pinecrest Valley instead of the alpha house. It seemed like an odd place to meet, but I didn't question it. While I was driving there, another text from him came through.Jaxon: You remember Chris Riddle?I frowned. Where was he going with this? Chris Riddle had been the pack enforcer years ago. When I was a kid, he'd been one of Dad's most trusted men. He'd taken over the job after his own father passed away. A few weeks earlier, Dad's beta, Nikolai Hale, had told me Chris was banished from the pack after he started looking into the problems surrounding Dad.When I stopped at the next stop sign, I texted him back.Orion: Yeah. The old pack enforcer?Jaxon: Yep. Just didn't want you to be surprised when you got here.My forehead creased. Was he serious? Had he actually gotten in touch with Chris? Was Chris really waiting for us at the coffee shop?A car behind me honked, pulling me out of my thoughts. I drove through the inters

I nodded toward the kitchen, where we'd have a little more privacy. Even then, I doubted Voss would hear anything we said because he was completely absorbed in whatever he was doing on his laptop.Once we were in the kitchen, I took a deep breath."I need to ask you something," I said. "Whatever your answer is, I'll accept it, and that'll be the end of the discussion. Okay? This decision is completely yours."She narrowed her eyes."What are you talking about?"I sighed."I just got off the phone with Lucien, and he came up with an idea. You know shifters can challenge someone for leadership of a pack, right?"She slowly nodded."That hardly ever happens anymore, does it?""Not these days," I replied. I explained everything Chris had told us, along with Lucien's idea involving Elara. "I know I promised you that you wouldn't have to pretend with Varek again, but Lucien thinks you might be able to convince Varek to challenge me instead of the other way around. If you say no, that's the

Lila let out a happy little squeal when Orion and Jaxon shift into their wolf forms, then happily clapped her tiny hands."She loves watching them do that," Stormy said. "There's a cartoon about shifters that she enjoys, but seeing it happen for real is even better, I guess."We were all sitting out on the back porch. Jaxon was helping Orion train, working on the fighting skills he'd neglected while he was away from Pinecrest Valley. It wasn't even afternoon yet, but the late summer sun was already blazing down on us."It really is amazing," I admitted. "I think we get used to incredible things after seeing them so often.""That's true," Stormy agreed with a shrug as she handed Lila a cracker to chew on.A moment later, Lucien came around the side of the house, clearly trying to catch the other two by surprise. Suddenly, Jaxon turned on Orion, and he and Lucien attacked the lone alpha together.I winced as they snapped, clawed, and wrestled with each other. I knew they weren't fightin

I sat down in the chair beside him."Are you talking about Dominic?"He looked at me, and the sadness on his face was impossible to miss."Yeah. Elara... her husband has only been gone for about six months. I can't just walk up to her and tell her all this now. Hell, she's probably still grieving. It would feel like I was taking advantage of her, and that's the last thing I want.""I understand, but..."I looked at him like he was missing something, even though he really wasn't."You don't live here, Lucien. Once all of this is over, and hopefully Kael comes home safe, you'll be going back across the country."He let out a long groan."Hell, Elara, I know that. I'm not planning to ignore this. She deserves to know what she means to me, but I want to take things slowly. I want us to really get to know each other first so it won't feel strange when I finally tell her. I want her to be in a place where she's emotionally and mentally ready to accept what I'm offering. Not just for her...
