The Alpha's Fated Kiss
And it all circled back to Dad.
I pulled my laptop from the duffel, the old sticker from La Isla Dorada peeling at the edges. Dad’s restaurant, his pride, his grave. Six years ago, he’d died of a heart attack, the doctors said: stress, overwork, the weight of a failing business. I was nineteen, home from community college, when Mamá called me to the hospital. His face was gray, his hand cold in mine as he whispered, “Take care of them, mija.” Then he was gone. The restaurant burned a month later, arson the cops couldn’t prove, and Frankie’s loan swallowed the ashes. We lost everything. But tonight, Mamá’s voice, shaky, urgent, hinted at more. For Dad, she’d said. What did she know?
