The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 69
I don’t quite know what to think about Thomas’ cousin Daisy. She hasn’t given me a proper look ever since she got here, and the air all around us is crackling with tension. Although she is pregnant, I don’t think that she’s quite moved on from her crush, and Thomas is so uncomfortable that I can’t help but feel like he’s had the same thought. We’ve already had lunch, and we’re seated around the living room enjoying a cup of coffee and dessert that Magna was kind enough to make for us. Thomas’ aunt and uncle are quite nice, but they’re not as talkative or as open as Magna, and honestly, I’d rather not be here, which is a shame because earlier on, I was really enjoying the trip. “It was such a fun time,” Magna concludes. She’s been telling us about a trip she, Thomas, and her late husband had taken to the ocean, and how Thomas was naturally good at fishing even though he’d never done it before. That really does sound like Thomas. He’s good at everything. “It was,” Thomas agrees wit
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 70
I’m unsettled up to the point when Thomas returns. He shrugs as he sits down, but I can tell that he’s tense. I’m trying to imagine what he’s going to say next, but I fail. “There wasn’t anyone there,” he informs me. “I didn’t see anyone.”This is the worst possible thing that he could have told me because now, I know that it’s truly Evan. Naturally, he’d hide from Thomas if he came spying on us. He wouldn’t want to be seen by him. He approached our son without me even noticing it. He’s out there. And I’m furious. “We can’t leave him wandering around,” Thomas says, expressing concern. “It could be dangerous, especially this time of the year.”“He knows not to talk to strangers,” I say. “I don’t know what prompted him to follow this man into the woods. I’ll talk to him about it.”Thomas places his hand on the back of my neck and begins to rub. “Don’t worry about it, sweetheart. It’s fine. He’s fine. Don’t worry too much, okay? The situation is under control.”No, the situation is
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 71
I reach the room, and Vic is drying up. He gives me an odd look, and asks me, “Where did you go, Mom?”“Oh, I just stepped outside,” I tell him while fighting to catch my breath. I’ve never run this fast in all my life. Getting away from Evan was imperative, because that man is sick and vile, and there’s no way that I’m going to entertain him. I can’t believe we kissed. That I let it happen. The gravity of what I’ve done slowly sinks in as my heart starts to beat slower, and I press my hand firmly against my chest as waves and waves of guilt crash into me. This feels like cheating. Did I cheat on Thomas, who’s been so good to me and helped me find myself again? Did I?I close my eyes steel myself against the pain. I’ve never hated Evan more than I do now. He took full advantage of the stupid bond between us to make me feel that way. To make me feel so lost yet safe in his arms. I’m an idiot for letting him, and now I don’t even know what to do with myself. “Mom?”I turn my head t
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 72
The next morning, we head on home, cutting our trip short. Yesterday's lunch is something that Thomas just isn't willing to let go. I've talked to him about it all night, but he insists that he's hurt and wants to go back to his safe place, which is home. Magna is sad to see him go, but she doesn’t try to convince him to stay. Maybe she senses that he needs this time to himself.I’m quite sad that things turned out the way they did, but at the same time, I’m glad to be away from this place because that means I can leave Evan behind. Of course, there’s no guarantee that he won’t be spying on us when we get back, but he’s too close here. Right next door. He has access to Vic, too. Thankfully, I don’t see him at all. We get in the car and drive back home, and for the most part, we’re silent. I stare out the window, deep in my thoughts, while Thomas drives with his hand on my thigh. I’ve been struggling to come to terms with what happened last night, and I’ve given up trying at this p
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 73
Evan's POVI’m seated behind the chair of my office, and I’ve been clicking my pen for the past five minutes while I stare at my phone, waiting for the screen to light up with Leo’s call. She doesn’t, though. I thought she would immediately after the flowers were delivered to her door. I sent it just to piss her off, and scare her, too. After last night, I have no doubts that I want Thomas fucking dead for touching what’s mine. This feels like a change that happened over night, but once I realize that Leo has always been a part of me and that I never truly forgot her, then it makes sense. I can’t stand the thought of her being touched, and the fact that our wolves have recognized each other as mates makes things so much more intense. She’s mine, dammit. Mine. And I had to watch that fucker go balls deep inside of her, and the worst part is that she knew. I could see her looking around, hoping to spot me. Annoyance courses through me, and I have no choice but to continue with my wo
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 74
I lie beside Thomas in bed at night with this feeling that the whole world is collapsing all around me. He fast asleep, but I haven’t been able to sleep a wink. The conversation I had with Evan has been haunting me. I get physically sick every time I remember those flowers and the note hidden among them. It’s just too much. I’m living an actual nightmare. I never knew Evan to be so sick and fucked in the head, but what do I know about him at the end of the day? I never knew him that well. He presented himself as someone honest and solid, then abruptly became the worst person I’d ever met in my life. It would be senseless to assume that he wasn’t always like this. I want to turn on my side, but Thomas’ arm is around me, and I don’t want to wake him. He’s been asking me if something is wrong the whole night, and I’ve been lying straight to his face. Here’s the thing: How do I take care of this in the less destructive way possible? I don’t want to alert Thomas that anything is wron
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 75
Once I close the car’s door, I start to feel significantly better than I’ve felt all day. Thomas’ energy is so uplifting. He’s such an energetic person with the kind of warmth and optimism that’s contagious. Earlier today, I was crying because of the conversation I had with Anthony. I’m hurt. Hearing those words from someone I consider a parental figure cut me deep, and I’m not sure I’m going to recover from them anytime soon. One thing I know for sure is that I do not have feelings for Evan. I’m pretty certain of that. I like Thomas, and I would never hurt him. He’s good to me, and he respects me. I feel better when I’m next to him, so why can’t that be enough? What is enough?Thomas places his hand on my thigh, pulling me from my thoughts. I look away from the window and settle my eyes on him instead. He smiles, and I mirror him. I can tell that he wants to ask me what’s wrong, but he’s since given up. “We’ll have a blast,” is all he says. “I can’t wait to be in that dance floor
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 76
Evan’s POVI keep a close eye on Leo, even through the dancing bodies. It’s easier for me to remain hidden while staring at her, although she has been making it hard for me because he constantly looks around, and I have no doubt that it’s me she’s searching for. She knows me so well, my darling mate. I wonder if she knows that I own the place. If so, how would she react?I was tired of watching her through the security cameras outside. It wasn’t hard to find out that Thomas was coming for the birthday party of the brat that used to work for him, so I had my manager approach them with a package deal, and then my security guard went to call Leo and Thomas in. If they never made it to the club, that wouldn’t be fun, now would it?I need her in here. I have plans for her. When she was in Thomas’ territory, all I could do was watch. It’s different this time around. Now, she’s here, where I’m the leader. Where I’m in control. And there’s no escaping for her. I’m enjoying this game more

The longer I stare at Anthony and he doesn't wake up, the more I panic. What if he's dead? What if I didn't just slam the vase in his head for him to pass out? I walk around him, trying to get a good look at his face. He doesn’t appear to be breathing, but maybe I’m just panicking way too much. So, I try not to panic and wait for him to stir, which he hasn’t done in the last ten minutes since I’ve been here standing over him. I decide that I’ve had enough. If he’s dead, then I’d rather know now than wait for longer. I kneel down, barely breathing as I reach out, and press two fingers against his neck, feeling for a pulse. My own heartbeat is so loud that it drowns out everything else. But then—a faint throb under my fingertips. He’s alive.I let out a sharp exhale of relief, though it’s short-lived. Slowly, his eyes flutter open, a groggy confusion clouding his gaze as he begins to stir and come to his senses. For a moment, he looks like he doesn’t recognize me, his gaze unfocused
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 105
Evan’s POV The road stretches out in front of me, winding and dark. My knuckles are white on the steering wheel, but I can’t let myself loosen my grip—not until I have him back. The text from her still sits on the screen beside me, her message short and mocking. It’s an address, nothing more, like a command.I’m not entirely sure of what to expect from this. Is she mocking me? Did she believe me when I said that I wanted to be with her?I know her well enough, since we’ve been together for quite some time. She wants me to come crawling. To say I was wrong, that I never should’ve left her. She thinks she has that kind of power over me, and I’ll let her believe it. I’ll say whatever she needs to hear, promise her the world if that’s what it takes to get my son back. I don’t care what I have to do. I’ll do whatever is necessary. I’ll be selfless for once. My stomach twists at the thought, a bitterness that feels like swallowing nails, but there’s no other way.I turn off the main roa
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 104
Evan’s POVI call Phillippa, and she doesn’t answer the phone. It’s not off, so she’s probably staring at her phone and smiling to herself as she watches her screen light up with my name flashing across it. “Bitch,” I curse before groaning in frustration. Each passing second deepens the knots in my stomach. Victor’s gone, and every instinct in my body screams to find him, to bring him back where he belongs. I didn’t even think that I had it in me to feel so much paternal instinct. I barely know him, yet my despair would’ve been the same even if I’d raised him his whole life. I’ve lost count of the calls I’ve made by now, and I still have no answers. Even some of the men who once were on my side won’t answer the phone. Then again, they were Montgomery contacts, not mine. Every lead has crumbled, and I’m left staring at the emptiness of my own mistakes.I’m fucked, through and through. I should be leaving the city by now if I have any hopes of escaping the bullshit investigation tha
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 103
I shove Anthony off of me with all my strength, and even that doesn’t feel enough to completely shake his touch off. It seems this terrible night is determined not to end. It’s like a never-ending nightmare. A surge of disgust and anger rips through me. I can’t believe he’s done this. That he would try to kiss me. I’ve always seen him as a father figure, so this really messes with me more than words can say. He stumbles back, his eyes widening with shock, but his shocked expression quickly changes into a bitter scowl. "Milena," he says, his voice low and edged with that same twisted need he’s tried to rationalize as love only a few moments ago. “You don’t understand. Everything I’ve done... I did for you. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again until you understand. Until it sinks into your thick skull!”“For me?” I hiss, my voice shaking with disbelief and rage. “You murdered Thomas. You tortured Evan. And now you think you can stand here and—what? Kiss me? Confess some sick
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 102
Sitting alone in my apartment while Evan goes hunting for our son is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me. The silence in the apartment is almost unbearable, pressing down on me with a weight I can't carry. I sit on the edge of the sofa, staring blankly at the door, waiting for it to open, and for Evan to walk into the apartment with Victor safe in his arms. The ache in my chest is relentless; a mixture of fear and guilt and helplessness that threatens to consume me.It’s the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. This despair is unlike any other. There’s no pain worse than having my son taken away from me by some lunatic with the worst of intentions. I’d been a fool to leave him by myself. I was irresponsible. If anything happens to Victor, I’ll blame myself forever. I’ll never get over it. Not ever. Phillippa took him—our son, my sweet Victor. It’s hard to even wrap my mind around the reality of it, that she would go so far, that she would hurt Evan and me by taking the one th

Evan’s POVThe taxi stops outside Leo’s apartment building, and she pays the nosy asshole before we step outside. Leo opens the door and exits the car quickly. She’s moving fast, her body almost vibrating with energy. She’s probably in shock, maybe in pain after everything that’s happened, but right now, she’s got one focus, and that’s Victor. I don’t mind it. At least one of us should get there fast and make sure that that fuck isn’t there, hurting him. I’ve promised her that I have a place where I can put her and Vic for a while, at least just until she can get to the bottom of this. I’d follow her up the stairs, but I know that I’m not going to be able to make it. I watch her disappear inside the building for a moment, feeling that pull again, that sense of her slipping through my fingers, just like she did once before. But I don’t have time to think about that now. But this is different. Now, we have a sort of understanding with each other. She’s not going to run away. Where wo
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 100
After a few minutes of messing with the chains, I finally figure out how to release him. Evan lands on the ground with a thud, and groans in pain as a result. I make my way to his side, wanting to touch him to help him stand up, but then stopping myself. These conflicting emotions will be the end of me. I stare at him as he tries to catch his breath, and for a moment, I feel sorry for him. His eyes meet mine, and within them, I see the same amount of sadness that I feel, but his is blended with disbelief. “You shouldn’t have come,” he says before coughing weakly. “You shouldn’t be here. I’m not...worth it.”His words catch me off guard. “What?”“I deserve what’s being done to me,” he then says before his eyes study my face. His body is shaking, and I’m not sure why. “I’m just glad to know that you’re alright.”I grit my teeth. “That’s not your decision to make, Evan. I’m the one who gets to decide what I do, not you.”He turns on his side, and then peels his shirt from his body, sh

“Why would I tell you anything regarding that?” Anthony says to him in the most cruel voice imaginable. I’ve never heard him use this voice on anyone before. I barely even recognize it. Why has he been keeping Evan here? So, he knew where he was this whole time?I have a terrible feeling in my gut. “I just want to know that she’s safe,” Evan rasps. This is followed by a dull sound, like someone punching a wall of meat, and Evan groans in pain. I cover my mouth with my hand. I can’t believe what I’m hearing. Why would Anthony do this? Out of all the things he could do, why? Why keep Evan prisoner? He’s clearly hurting him. I came here thinking that I would find a clue concerning whether he killed Thomas or not, but instead, I find this. And there’s no satisfaction in this for me. This is something I never expected from Anthony. I know he hates Evan, but to go to this extent. I almost feel ashamed of my feelings. It’s not like I’m saying this because I care about Evan—he has ruine
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 98
“…right, Leo?”I turn my attention back to Anthony, and ask him, “Sorry, what?”Anthony is standing by the window of the living room, eyeing me strangely. He then says, “Are you okay, Leo? Is there something in your mind? You’ve been distracted all day.”“No, I’m fine,” I claim, even though it’s a blatant lie. “Don’t worry about it.”I have to admit that I haven’t been fine since I found that sweater. My spirit is restless, and I have to find out what the hell is going on here. Anthony is hiding things from me. It’s easier to notice this when I’m paying attention, and I can tell the huge difference between his normal state and now. I’m just horrified. The sun behind him is setting, and the fading light casting long shadows across my apartment. I’m sitting on the couch, trying to seem relaxed, but there’s a tightness in my chest that won’t go away. There are times when I think that my suspicions are nonsensical, and that I should just ask him what the sweater was about outright inste
