All Chapters of After the Storm: Chapter 101 - Chapter 109

LeahThe humiliation inside me seemed to climb higher with every word I spoke.I hated saying it out loud.I hated remembering it.And most of all, I hated that I had once believed my fated mate was supposed to be the person who would protect me from the world.Instead, Mike had become the monster I feared most.“He would come home after seeing her,” I whispered, my voice shaking. “And he would make sure I knew about it.”Storm’s face tightened.I looked down at my hands.“He knew exactly how much it hurt me. Both physically and mentally.”My throat burned.“And he enjoyed it.”The room went completely silent.I swallowed hard.“He wanted me to know that he’d rather be with her.”Lilly’s eyes filled with tears again.“Leah…”I shook my head.“I need to say this.”I took a shaky breath.“She was an Omega.”Sean frowned.“Who?”“His affair partner.”I felt the humiliation burning through me all over again.“A low-ranking Omega.”I looked at my father.“I was his fated mate. Your daughte

SeanDoyle picked up his phone.“I’m going to have someone trace the account.”I nodded.“Quietly.”“Obviously.”I looked down at the transaction again.Twenty thousand dollars.Just days before the attack.That couldn’t be a coincidence.Could it?Doyle turned back to the paperwork.“Keep looking.”I grabbed another stack.“You know, I take back everything I said.”Doyle raised an eyebrow.“About what?”“This is suddenly very interesting.”A small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.“Thought so.”I picked up the next statement.“Now let’s find out where the rest of the money went.”Because something told me that once we started following the money…We might finally discover just how deep Mike’s betrayal really went.SeanBy the time Tyler’s head financial officer arrived, Doyle and I had been staring at numbers for nearly five hours.I was beginning to think I might never look at another bank statement again after this.The door opened.A tall man walked in carrying a laptop and

Alpha DoyleIt took only a few minutes before there was a knock at my door.“Enter.”The door opened and the two warriors I had summoned stepped inside.I nodded toward Brittney.“Take her to the cells.”At my eyes, her eyes widened and a look of horror washed over her face.“What?” she shrieked.“You heard me.”“You can’t do this!”I almost laughed.She really had no idea who she was dealing with.“Wrong, girly. I am the Alpha and I can do whatever the hell I want. And besides, you were found carrying confidential financial documents outside my office, documents you claim you have no idea how you came to possess.”“I told you, he planted them on me!”She shrieked once more as she pointed angrily at Sean.Sean looked at her as though she had just announced that she was the Moon Goddess.“Oh, for fuck’s sake.”“Take her to the cells,” I ordered.The warriors stepped forward to do my bidding.Brittney immediately backed away.“Alpha Doyle, you can’t seriously believe this!”“I believe t

DoyleI had the answers I needed.Celia Donovan had been behind it all.Her obsession with me had turned into something far more dangerous than simple bitterness.She had worked with Mike.She had helped Cain.She had fed them information.And she had wanted to see me lose everything because she believed I had ruined her life when I chose my fated mate instead of her.I wasn’t going to waste another minute wondering why.I knew.And that was enough.I mind-linked six of my most trusted warriors.I have a job for you.They immediately responded.What do you need, Alpha?Find Celia Donovan.There was a pause.Bring her back?I stared out the window.“No.”My voice was cold.“Kill her where you find her.”There was no hesitation.Yes, Alpha.I ended the link.I didn’t feel guilty.Not anymore.Celia had made her choice.She had chosen to betray her own pack.She had chosen to put my family in danger.She had chosen to work with men who wanted Celtic Moon destroyed.There would be no tria

StormI was in the house with the children when Doyle walked through the door.The moment our eyes met, he smiled.It was a smile I hadn’t seen enough of lately.A tired smile.A relieved smile.A smile that told me, without him saying a word, that the weight he’d been carrying was finally beginning to lift.He walked straight toward me.I didn’t even wait for him to reach me.The moment his arms wrapped around me, I clung to him.I buried my face against his chest and breathed him in.For a few seconds, neither of us spoke.We simply held each other.“Are you okay?” I whispered, still wrapped tightly around him.His arms tightened around me.“I am now.”Those three words nearly broke my heart.Because I knew what he meant.For days, he’d been carrying the weight of our entire pack on his shoulders.The threats.The betrayals.The attacks.The fear that one of us might be taken from him.Now, finally, he could breathe.“Daddy!”We both looked toward the sound of Cian’s excited voice.
