The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 31
Thomas opens the door for me and we stare at each other for a few seconds before he opens it wider, a signal for me to come inside. Once I’m in, he closes the door. “I don’t know what to say,” I tell him. “I’ve never seen him act like that.”“It’s okay,” he says. “No, really. It is. He’s a kid and I understand that he doesn’t like me. Trust me, I felt the same way about my mother whenever guys talked to her. I know what it’s like.”I recall the way he told me that he thinks Thomas is trying to be his dad. Where’s he getting that from? “I can’t stay long,” I remind him.He nods. “I know. I just thought you’d want to talk about this.”I sigh and cover my face with both hands. This is a nightmare. Thomas clears his throat, and I figure that he has more to say. He slides his hands in the pockets of his jeans and says, “I also thought that we could talk about us for a bit.”This makes me nervous. “What do you mean?”“I don’t know what’s brought you here,” he admits. “People move for al

Halfway up the damn stairs, I ask myself what the hell I’m doing. Even so, I keep going. My legs are carrying me up the stairs and into his room. I stop in front of the closed door and press my ear against it. I don’t hear much, so I decide to peer through the keyhole. I have something I plan to do, and it’ll work out only if I make it in there. I don’t see anyone when I peer through the keyhole. The room seems to be empty but I can smell something like shower gel. He’s still in the bath it seems. I should turn back. I shouldn’t be here. This is a suicidal mission. If I open the door and he’s in his room, he’ll see me and my plan will be ruined. I’ll be forced to put all of this on hold. But at the same time, Julius is starting with his bullshit and I’m not willing to sleep with him in order to keep this job. So, the point is that I have to act. I have to do something and quick. So, I hold my breath and open the door as slowly as I can. I hear the shower running and feel a sense
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 33
Evan's POVI step out of the shower and immediately look around the room, not caring if I'm dripping water all over the carpet. I'm pretty sure there was someone in here. I didn't see anyone but I heard the person walking around the room. I could've sworn it was Phillippa but why wouldn't she answer me when I called her?I glance at the door and take note of the fact that it's closed. Everything else in the room appears untouched. Am I imagining things? Maybe the stress is getting to me. That's the only sensible explanation for all of this. There wasn't anyone in the room. But there's this unfamiliar scent in the air. I take a few whiffs and feel every part of me coiling up. Did Phillippa get a new perfume or something? Because that's what it smells like to me. The scent is rich, earthy, fruity, and there's a depth to it that makes me breathe in more than I should. I return to the bathroom and dry myself, the new scent still clinging to my nostrils. I'm almost dressed when the door

My anxiety keeps me up at night. In the morning, I’m bleary-eyed and exhausted but my nervousness keeps me reasonably awake. I think about giving up multiple times. Maybe I’m crazy. Maybe I’m making the biggest mistake of my life. What if I don’t come back from that trip? What if Charlie apprehends me and then calls Evan over to finish the job? There are many risks involved. The longer I think about them, the worse it gets. I drop off Victor, kiss his cheek, and then watch him head into the school’s building while I decide what to do next. I have to do something. I can’t just stand here. Do I go or not?Butterflies flutter in my stomach and not the pretty kind. I start feeling queasy. I have to decide. I give myself a few minutes. It’s a bad idea and I can just feel it. I might blow my cover completely. But if I don’t go, I might miss out on an important piece of information. I have to try. I’m on a lucky streak lately. This could be the reason why I changed my whole life and cam
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 35
I’m not sure of what it is I’ve found. It’s a file lying on top of a pile of other files and papers. His desk is an absolute mess and maybe that’s why it took me so long to locate it. It’s a huge brown envelope, and has markings in front of it. On the envelope, it’s written that the file is for Hector Redburn. Now, if I hadn’t known that Evan was Hector Redburn, this would fly right over my head and I would never have been able to discover the truth. But I know who he is now, so I know this is for him. Charlie is still apologizing for the sins of his nephew with that same insincere tone and I’m not paying attention anymore. All I’m focused on is finding out what’s inside this envelope. Charlie falls silent and this finally grabs my attention. He’s looking at me in a way that I can’t really describe. His fear from earlier is gone and has been replaced by a coldness that’s concerning. “Still living in the same place?” he asks. I nod as I swipe my thumb under my eyes. “Yeah. I alw
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 36
Julius is in the living room reading a newspaper when I arrive. He removes his glasses when he sees me and offers me a friendly smile, but beneath the smile, I can tell that there’s something off about him. “Is everything okay?” I ask him as I put my bag down. “Well,” he says with a sigh. “With me? Everything’s great. It’s next door that’s the problem.”My heart starts beating faster. “What’s wrong?”“Well, Hector has just fired everyone who worked for him,” he informs me. “The ones who worked in the house, that is.”My thoughts immediately go to the lipstick stain. Shit. I completely forgot about that. “Do you know why that is?”“He believes that someone is trying to sabotage his relationship with my granddaughter,” he answers while folding the newspaper. “So, he’s gone ahead and fired everyone. He’s in quite a bad mood.”My legs feel very weak all of a sudden, and I feel like I’ll throw up. Julius isn’t looking at me; his eyes are on his lap. He seems to be deep in thought. “Tha

Evan’s POV“Hector?”I look left and see Phillippa touching my arm. Her eyes are wide and she says, “Is everything okay? I’ve called you like ten times.”I shake my head. “I’m fine. Let’s get going.”I open the door for her to get in the car and then slam it shut. I’m agitated. I haven’t been in a good state of mind ever since Charlie called me yesterday to tell me about Leonora. I get in the car with Phillippa. She keeps looking at me with this expression that makes me feel like yelling at her to stop. It’s like she’s afraid I’ll hit her or something. It’s infuriating. She detects the smallest change in my demeanor and then makes a huge thing out of nothing. It’s what she’s always done. I can’t even rage in peace. I start the car and we get going ahead of everyone else. I think Julius is still waiting for his hooker or nurse or whatever the fuck the woman is to him. I don’t have the time. I have to get there before anyone else anyway because as the Alpha, I’m the one who’s meant t
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 38
I run away with my heart slamming in my throat. I hope Evan doesn't follow me. That's all I can think about as I run through the trees and try not to hit my head. When it's safe, I'll shift back and get the hell out of here. Goddess. This is not what I needed. Finding out that Evan is my fated mate is not how I thought this would all go. I can't even wrap my head around it; that's how preposterous this whole thing is. The reason why I know that the black wolf is him is simply because of what Julius mentioned; that Evan has a black coat like him. What are the damn odds?Am I mistaken here? Could it be another wolf? Deep down, I know I haven’t made a mistake. The dominance. The energy. Even the sound of his voice when he linked his mind to mine and said, “Mate.”That was Evan, alright, only there’s no way he’d recognize me because he never saw me in wolf form. Breathlessly, I make my way far enough from the hunt that I don't even smell anyone. The bonfire is far away, and all I see
