All Chapters of The Hot Alpha’s Curvy Craving : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Chapter 51 Sophia I stood in the sitting room with my arms crossed. Kellan was on the couch. Harland was by the window. Nobody had spoken for five minutes. "So let me get this straight," Harland said. "You told a royal's daughter to leave. You told her Kellan would take responsibility. And then you just let her walk out?" "Yes," I said. "That's insane." "I know." Kellan rubbed his face. "Sophia, I don't understand what you're doing. Elina is dangerous. Her father has connections. If she goes back to court and tells them I refused to acknowledge…" "She won't, dont be a coward" I said. "How do you know that? I'm an Alpha to be in case you don't know " "Because she's lying! And yes i Alpha who is the second son!" Kellan stared at me. "What?" I walked to the table and sat down. I kept my voice calm. "I've been thinking about this since she walked in. The timeline doesn't make sense. That means conception happened around the time you were still in London." Kellan's jaw tighte

Chapter 53 Ryder I got home and Solia was already awake, sitting on the edge of the bed with her knees pulled up and her phone in her hand like she had been staring at it for an hour instead of actually looking at anything on the screen. She heard me come in and she did not turn around right away. That was the first sign something was wrong. Solia always turned around. She always had something to say the second I walked through a door, some complaint about the pack or something one of the elders said or some story about her day that she needed to get out before she could breathe right. Tonight she just sat there.“You’re up late,” I said.“Couldn’t sleep.”I dropped my keys on the dresser and pulled my shirt over my head. My ribs still ached from the airport. Kellan had cracked something and it had not finished healing all the way, and every time I twisted wrong it reminded me exactly whose fist had done it. I sat on the other side of the bed and started working my boots off.“Where

Chapter 55SophiaRyder did not ask permission before he pulled his phone out and hit call. He set it down flat on the counter between the three of us and put it on speaker, and the sound of it ringing filled the whole kitchen while none of us breathed right.It picked up on the fourth ring. “Ryder? Hey, sorry, I was resting, what’s wrong?”Her voice was steady. Too steady for someone who had supposedly been in a car wreck a few hours earlier. There was no beeping in the background, no hum of hospital fluorescents, no nurse calling a name over an intercom, just quiet, the kind of quiet you only get at home with the television off and nobody moving around.“Where are you right now,” Ryder said. He kept his eyes on me while he said it, not on the phone, like he already knew what he was about to hear and wanted a witness standing there when it landed.“Home. Why, what’s going on, you sound weird.”“You’re not at the pack clinic.”A pause. Small, but I caught it, and I could tell Ryder ca

Chapter 57 Kellan “You believed them because they needed you to,” she said. “Because a boy who thinks his mother is dead doesn’t go looking for her. And I needed you not looking, Kellan. For a long time, I needed that very badly.”“Who is this,” Ryder said again, louder now, and I realized he’d moved close enough to hear part of it, and Sophia had too, her face pale in the dark, watching me the way you watch someone standing too close to a ledge.“Put it on speaker,” I said, my voice barely mine. “Everyone needs to hear this.”There was a pause on the line, a small huff of something that might have been amusement. “Bringing in an audience already. You always did like proving things in front of people. Fine. Go ahead.”I hit the button with a hand that wasn’t steady and set the phone down on the counter, and the voice filled the dark kitchen, low and even, carrying itself like it had all the time in the world.“I want to be clear before anyone panics,” she said. “Your men on the east

Chapter 58Sophia“Did you ever say it back,” Harland asked me, still crouched in front of my chair with two fingers pressed under my jaw, and he asked it so plainly that for a second I didn’t even understand the question.“Say what back.”“That you accept it. When a mate rejects you, he says his part and you say yours. Did you say yours that night in the clearing, or did you just leave.”I opened my mouth to say of course I did, and then I shut it again, because I was trying to remember and all I could remember was Ryder’s voice and the whole pack laughing and Solia smiling and my own voice cracking about how I worked my ass off at the hospital, and then my car door, and then the road. I never said anything. I just ran before anybody could watch me cry.“I ran,” I said. “I didn’t say anything. I just got in my car and ran.”Kellan turned around so slowly I heard his boots scrape the tile, and he looked straight at Ryder in the corner, and I knew that look, I had seen it in an airport
