The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 89
Evan’s POVWhen the detectives leave my office, anger courses through me. What’s Leo doing? What is she seriously fucking doing?I know I should’ve guessed that this was how she would fuck me up, but I honestly thought that my honesty would keep her from making such a drastic decision and trying to fuck me up. And fuck me up she has. I’m under investigation; that’s what I was told. The only reason why I wasn’t arrested is because I’m an Alpha, and as one, the phrase ‘innocent until proven guilty’ counts a hell of a lot. Which means that they’ll gather evidence and when they have what they’re looking for, I’ll be taken to trial and then proceed to be sentenced. Identity theft is a serious crime, and I didn’t just invent the name Hector Redburn. It existed. I stole it from a man I met five years ago. He was lonely Alpha with a very small pack. He had money, which he inherited from his father, but he had no ambition so his pack dwindled. Most of the members went rogue, and he didn’t
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 90
My face is swollen, and I’m in pain. I hadn’t been realized that the ropes were interwoven with silver until I tried to shift to get away from them. The ropes are slowly burning my skin, and making it impossible for me to shift and get out of this situation. I would’ve done it, and they probably guessed that, which was why they took the necessary precautions. Barbara grabs a chair, and sits right in front of me. I can’t even find the strength to raise my head, and before I know it, one of the guys who just beat me, grabs the hair on the back of my head and forces me to look at her. She has a small smile on her face, and her eyes are glittering with cruelty. I almost can’t see her because of how swollen my eyes are. She says, “Now that I have your attention, here’s what I want from you: In my hand, I have a tape recorder, and when I press record, you’re going to tell me exactly what you and Hector did to Julius, do you understand me? If you don’t, my men are going to keep beating y
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 91
Evan's POVIt's nighttime, and Leo hasn't shown up. I haven't taken my eyes off the entrance of the building for a second, so I know she didn't go inside. Is it possible that she was inside the apartment building when I knocked? I'm getting frustrated. I need to talk to her, and I'm running out of time. I decide to head back upstairs. I tell myself that if Anthony dares to stop me from talking to her, I’ll put him down and enter the apartment nonetheless. I’m not afraid of him; never have been. He can’t stop me from talking to her. And why won’t she talk to me after the shit she just pulled?When I reach her apartment, I halt when I catch a glimpse of Anthony talking to a member of the authority. I recognize it because of the uniform he’s using. Anthony’s enraged eyes land on me, and he quickly closes the distance between us. “Where is she!?” he demands. “What did you do with her?”The man pulls him back before he can ram into me, and I stare at him in the eyes and tell him, “I do
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 92
Evan's POVWhen my guy calls me saying that Phillippa appears to be in her family home, I go there right away, refusing to waste any more time. My heart is slamming against my chest. I want to tear her apart for even thinking about harming Leo. I need to get there quickly so I can find out where Leo is and what they did to her. The thought of her being dead makes me see red. I drive up that mountain, speeding the whole time. I still know the access code for the gate, unless of course, they've changed it. Usually, there's a guard around, but because I was the one who suggested the guard in the first place and the guy used to work for me, even if he's there, he'll let me in. When I reach the gate, I step out and see that there's no guard in sight. I use the access code to get in, and when the gates open, I find myself wondering if Phillippa and her mother are the dumbest people in the world. Why wouldn't they change the locks? What's wrong with them?I drive in, and Phillippa doesn'
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 93
Evan carries me to his car just as a few others park alongside his. His calmness is what makes me not freak out. Two men step out of the cars, and they approach him. One of them says, “We’re here, boss.”“Yeah, I can see that,” Evan retorts. “Open this door for me.”Once the back door is open, he places me inside the car. I haven’t been able to look at his face, and I ignore him as he’s staring at me. I just don’t have much to say to him. He steps back without saying a word to me, and then closes the door. Outside, he says to the man who spoke to him, “Did you find a way to locate Barbara?”“No,” he says. “We haven’t found a single clue. She’s not been living with her daughter according to the Gamma we bribed. She’s been busy all around the city.”“Dammit,” Evan curses. He’s silent for a while, then he says, “I want you to go back to her house, and get Phillippa for me. Put her someplace where she can’t be found. I’ll lure her out if I have to. I don’t have the fucking time for this
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 94
Evan’s POVBeing restrained and shoved in the back of a van isn’t exactly how I thought my night would end. I’m pissed the fuck off, and despair is eating at me slowly. So damn slowly. Leo has stayed behind, and I don’t know where we’re headed. Barbara is obviously going to want to kill me, and because the two men I trust the most are now dead, I don’t know how I’m going to get out of this situation. I’ll have to shift when they open the van again, since they were stupid enough to not use silver on me. Nothing is impeding me from shifting, but if I do it in here, I won’t be able to get out. They locked the door from the outside. It seems they came prepared. This doesn’t stop me from trying to kick the door down, though. I kick and curse loudly, dispelling some of my energy otherwise I’ll blow up. I’m so stressed out. Leo is counting on me to save her, and I hate that I’ve been caught off guard and that Barbara—fucking Barbara—ended up outsmarting me. Things couldn’t have gone wor
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 95
Evan’s POVThe first place I go is my house. It’s the only place I can think of. I need to wear clothes, clean up the fucking wound on my side, and then head out to get help for Leo. By now, Barbara knows that I’ve escaped, and she’ll want to use Leo to blackmail me into giving myself to her again. The only reason why I know she won’t kill Leo in anger is because of this. She needs her if she wants me back. I can’t go to the authorities with this, not when I’m under investigation. There’s only one person that I can think of that would help me get her back, not for my sake, but for hers. Someone who would be willing to sacrifice his life for her. Fucking Anthony. Although I’ve always fucking hated him, he’d do anything to help her. I can’t think of anyone else who wouldn’t be bought by Barbara or something similar. I’ll need him to help me. But before I go to his place, I need to freshen up. I’ve wasted too much time running here, but I couldn’t have run any faster. As soon as
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 96
My despair knows no bounds. I don’t know how many hours have passed. I remain in here, waiting to be rescued. Waiting to die. I’m not even sure anymore. Anything could happen at this point; I’ve lost all hope. I’ve been lying on my side on the cold ground for…I’ve lost track of time. Maybe days have gone by, or maybe hours. I’ve even thinking about Victor nonstop. What if I never see him again? How am I supposed to cope with this terrible thought?I can’t say that I blame Evan for this, because although the reason why I’m here is his fault, he tried to help me. He came all the way here to rescue me. Now that he’s been captured again, I don’t see how anyone could help me. Some time after this thought crosses my mind, I fall asleep. I wake up to the sound of someone banging on the door, and my heart drops to the pit of my stomach as I fight to get away from the door. “Leo!” I hear. “Leo, are you in there!”As I slowly crawl out of my sleepy state, I realize that I recognize this vo

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
The Alpha’s Dirty Little Secret Chapter 99
“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
