#Chapter 149: Lock & Key
Edrick
I couldn’t sleep at all that night after the picnic.
It was for a variety of reasons: first of all, I was still admittedly upset over what Moana had told me earlier that day. I knew that I shouldn’t have been jealous or hurt over it, as Moana was my mate and what happened between us was only fate striking at just the right time, but it didn’t make it hurt any less. I just wished that she told me sooner that she broke up with her ex not even an hour before we met, and I had to admit that the way she pitied him made my mood darken.
However, that feeling was quickly overshadowed by the way that she suddenly blurted something out.
It was only one word: “No.”
Somehow, I knew that she was talking to her wolf, and not to me. But what were they talking about? Was there something that she wasn’t telling me?

MoanaWhen I woke up and found that Edrick was gone, I was confused. It was still early, and he usually didn’t leave for work until a little later. I figured that he just got up early and was having breakfast in the dining room, so I got up and made my way out there to see where he was.However, when I headed out to the dining room, Edrick wasn’t there. His study door was also open and he wasn’t in there, either. Furrowing my brow, I headed into the kitchen next, where Selina was already awake and preparing some coffee.“Good morning,” she said. “Coffee?”“Yes, please,” I replied as I walked up to the counter island. I then looked around, my brow still furrowed. “Have you seen Edrick?”Selina shrugged. “I haven’t seen him yet this morning. Was he not in bed?”
Nanny and the Alpha Daddy #Chapter 151: Rue the Day
EdrickWhen I finally came home from the library, I had intended on going straight to work despite how tired I was. I didn’t realize it when I was in that dark basement, but it was well after sunrise by the time I came out, and I knew that Moana would be awake and wondering where I went. I didn’t want to alarm her, so I planned on telling her that I had a work emergency; especially since I would have to cut a lock of her hair later to take to the Mother Witch. Right now, I really didn’t need her getting suspicious and worried.However, when I walked in the door and saw none other than my father sitting at the dining room table, I knew that my plans would be thrown out the window. My eyes widened as I saw him, and I instantly felt a pit of dread grow in my stomach. He was sipping a cup of tea, and Selina and Moana were nowhere to be found. I instantly became worried.“Edrick,” he said, standing abruptly from the table without so much as a hello.
Nanny and the Alpha Daddy #Chapter 152: Crepe Date
MoanaI didn’t know what Edrick and Michael were exactly talking about, but I had a pretty good idea of it. It was clearly because of his fake relationship with me, and when I heard raised voices and saw Michael storm out, followed by Edrick giving me a strange look and slamming the door, it only solidified my suspicions.Edrick stayed in his study and didn’t come out for the remainder of the day; not even for dinner. In fact, I didn’t see or hear him ever come to bed, and he was gone again when I woke up the next morning as well.To wake up without him sleeping beside me for the second morning in a row was not only a bit odd, but also a little heartbreaking. I had quickly grown used to feeling his presence beside me, whether his arms were wrapped warmly around me or not. Not only that, but it was Saturday morning; he rarely worked on Saturdays, and when he did, it was never this early. But maybe it was just because he needed to do extra work t
Nanny and the Alpha Daddy #Chapter 153: Olivia
MoanaAfter Ella and I had our little breakfast date together, we headed out for training. I dropped her off at the training facility before heading over to the orphanage to spend a few hours volunteering and helping Sophia out.Ever since Ella mentioned wanting to refer to me as her mother, my heart couldn’t stop fluttering. I felt both anxious and ecstatic at the thought; I had considered this before, but never seriously. I had only ever thought of us occasionally as acting a bit like mother and daughter, but I knew that I could never really replace Ella’s biological mother. I wasn’t sure if it was really appropriate to even bring the subject up to Edrick, as he had never really brought up Ella’s biological mother. All I knew was that Ella’s biological mother died when Ella was very young, and no one ever really talked about her. There weren’t even photographs or anything indicating her existence around the house. Edrick’s family never mentioned her, and
Nanny and the Alpha Daddy #Chapter 154: The Mother
MoanaMy eyes were wide with disbelief. There was no way that Olivia was Ella’s biological mother. Ella’s biological mother was dead!I didn’t know what to say or do. All I could manage was to stare back at Olivia, unblinkingly, as I tried to figure out if she was telling the truth or that she was simply playing a joke on me. But at the same time, the resemblance was uncanny. She really did look just like an adult version of Ella, aside from the color of her eyes. Everything else was almost exactly the same. Her face shape, her nose, her hair… If no one had ever told me that Ella’s biological mother was dead, I would have believed her instantly.Olivia must have immediately noticed the confusion on my face, because she let out a sigh and ran a hand through her dirty blonde hair.“I know it’s hard to believe,” she said. “I’m not sure what Edrick told you about me, but I am Ella’s biological mother.”“H-He told me
Nanny and the Alpha Daddy #Chapter 155: The Mother Witch
EdrickWhile Moana slept, I secretly snipped off a small lock of her hair and stashed it away in my sock drawer. It was only a small piece, and I made sure to take it from a spot where it wouldn’t be noticed easily. Once I stashed it away, I was so exhausted from two days of no sleep that I couldn’t do anything else except climb into bed and pass out immediately.The next morning, I woke up earlier than Moana. I made sure to quickly get dressed and slip out of the room without waking her up, her lock of hair in a little plastic baggie in my pocket. On second thought, I turned back around and cautiously took the Alpha tooth out of its box, hoping that I would be home in time to put it back before she ever noticed it was missing.I didn’t need Moana, or anyone else for that matter, asking where I was going; if they found out that I was going to see the Mother Witch, then they would soon discover that I was investigat
Nanny and the Alpha Daddy #Chapter 156: In His Pocket
MoanaI felt utterly shocked after my conversation with Olivia. At first, I thought that there was no way that she really was Ella’s biological mother, because Ella’s biological mother was supposed to be dead. But the resemblance was uncanny, and she even knew things that no one else knew, such as Edrick’s drinking problem. And the way that she cried when she talked about Ella… It was too real. She didn’t seem to be faking it, and if she was, then she was a hell of a good actress.But even then, I still didn’t know if I could trust Olivia enough to fully believe her. There was always a possibility that she was lying and wasn’t Ella’s biological mother, but was instead somehow related to Michael or Kelly. That would explain why she knew so much about Edrick and Ella, and why she called Edrick so much late at night. Maybe Michael or someone else wanted her to bother Edrick and lie to me to get me to leave. I had no way of knowing at this point.E
Nanny and the Alpha Daddy #Chapter 157: To Trust Or Not To Trust
Moana“He has it.” My wolf’s voice was steady and even-toned, but also agitated. “Check his pockets.”I immediately trusted Mina’s instincts. She was too sure of it for me to even begin to question it, and she had never been wrong about these sorts of things before. And besides, by now I had spent so long frantically searching the apartment for my tooth that I was desperate. It was the only physical thing I had that was linking me to my past and my lineage. If I didn’t have that tooth, I felt lost, and I felt as though I might never find my parents or at least find out who they were.“Show me what’s in your pocket,” I growled, holding my hand out flat as I glared up at Edrick with narrowed eyes.Edrick looked taken aback.“Why?” he asked, sounding a bit confused. He seemed innocent, but my wolf was insistent that he had my tooth. And I could sense it, too. The way that Edrick’s eyes widened for just a split second as I
