A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) novel Chapter 68

Nick POV

I clenched my fist as I spoke through gritted teeth.

“It's that damn Megan! Detain her till she tells you all she knows! Then make it so she can't repeat it to any member of the pack!"

“Already did,” Richard replied.

“She only knows that Sara is here, and you're both involved. We caught her guys before they reached out to her. Silly human kids trying to make some money. They’re never gonna report to her, don’t worry. She doesn't know about the little one.”

I felt the anger washed over me. What the fuvk was wrong with that girl? I should’ve asked them to kick her out of the town, not just the resort. I needed to head back there immediately. But taking care of these types of problems was the same reason I had to remain here in the city for the rest of the day.

“Where are they now? Mother and son?” I asked my gamma.

“In her father’s house,” he replied.

I nodded. “Call me if there’s anything else. Megan should be out of there once you’re through with her!”

“Yes, Alpha,” Rich replied and hung up.

I immediately dialled Sara’s number. She would want to hear from me. Maybe an explanation or something. Her phone rang without an answer.

“Who’re you calling?” Jake asked me even though he already knew.

“She’ll want some sort of reassurance,” I replied absently.

“That’s Lindsey’s job,” he muttered.

Sara didn't pick up. I tried the home number. They were home, so she should answer that call

“Hello,” Sebastian’s voice. This one would probably hang up once he found out it was me.

“I’d like to talk to Sara,” I said simply.

“She’s busy,” he clipped.

The worst part was I expected her to agree? After everything that has passed between us.

“You decided to deal with your feelings,” Jake said without looking up.

“Focus on son, business, and pack. That’s what you said you’d do!”

“And I’m doing that!”

It had been ten days since the dreadful realization that I was not even close to being done with that female. That I would probably never be over her.

“You’re doing great. I'm just reminding you, that’s all,” my beta whispered with his face still on his screen.

I'd flown back to L.A. as soon as I dropped Alex in school. And I’d spent the rest of the afternoon replaying yesterday in my head. More accurately, I’ve been imagining how I should've behaved and what I should've said instead of stay for dinner.

Sara was still in touch with her lawyers. That meant I was the only one stuck in the past. What she felt for me now was the opposite of that little confession that made me lose my mind.
