Semua Bab Addicted To The Legacy Alpha: Bab 91 - Bab 100

I'm meeting Marisol today. Zeke talked about her a lot since the phone call. She seems like his close friend from work. I don't know what to expect. I also don't like that I don't know what to expect, but Zeke's being extra today. Stolen kisses and constant public displays of affection. I catch Drusila breaking a smile a few times while watching us. Aiden whispers to me before I enter the car. "We all need to take lessons from you, Marelyn. The Alpha's smitten to his shoes and that's a miracle." I don't know how to respond to that, so I just spare an awkward smile and slip into the backseat. Zeke takes my hand the second I get in. It will take a while to get used to all of this. This entire new routine and the butterflies on steroids in the pit of my stomach. When we arrive at our destination, it's almost ten am. We've stopped before a black and orange glass-curtain, elegant-looking building titled 'So You Think You Can Cook'. The sign is bold, and it's the easiest thing to sight d

Fast forward to hours after that shocking and totally unbelievable scene on Marisol's show. Zeke's standing in the parking lot outside the sets building. There's a clear sky today, but the weather still carries residues of snow. I'm angry. I'm completely livid, but he doesn't see why I am this way."Are you out of your mind?" I bark at him."No, I'm not. So I told a little lie to steer people's gossip away from the scandal. It's not a big deal, Mare."I stomp my feet and move past him, but he pulls me back by the elbow, drawing me to him.Our faces are inches apart as he asks. "What is your problem?""Nothing!"He sees right through me and knows I'm lying through my teeth. Something's wrong, but I won't say it, because I'm mortified to say it. He takes my hand in his and tugs me to the front seat. Zeke opens the door and puts me in it. I want to protest, but I know it will only cause a scene, and I will never make headway.He puts the car in drive, leaving behind Aiden, who's coffee ac

MAREDaylight pours into my room as someone rolls the curtains away. I wince, facing the other way, while pulling the duvet over my head. Drusila drags that off of me, earning a grumble from me."Marelyn, wake up. We have a long day ahead of us.""I want to sleep for another five hours. Let me." I curl up on the other side of the bed, away from her wrath."The Alpha wants you shopping for your New Year's eve ball dress today. He's already out with Aiden and won't be back until late at night.""I'm not attending the ball..."Her hand hooks around my ankle, dragging me off the bed in one go. When I land on the rug with my arse, I fume like a chimney."Hey!""Take a shower and get dressed. Breakfast is ready. The Alpha wants you eating healthy—""Why does he even care?" I pout, folding my arms and looking away.Last night was the only night since Christmas that we didn't sleep beside each other. I'm still mad at him for not telling me about Frida's execution. No matter his reason. This on

MAREI'm seated at the bus stop on the next street after the grocery store. I don't have a plan, but I'm seated here because I need help, and there's only one person who can give me the kind I need. Time passes. It takes an hour before someone settles into the spot beside me under the bus stop's shade.I don't have to turn to know who it is. Just as I suspected, my father sent Chase to get me. He smells fresh and manly. My wolf recognises him, but she's not smitten by him anymore. It's a thing of the past, but that doesn't mean he won't try rekindling it, like he did the first time we met again."I've waited days for you to decide. I'm glad you've done the right thing."He thinks I'm here to return home with him, but I can't until I keep my promise to Zeke. I'm here to ask for help. I lock eyes with him, hoping he can see into my heart and understand what I'm here for."Help me."The bus comes, blaring its horn, but we remain seated until it passes on. He's searching my eyes. Those two

ZEKE Marelyn's terrible convincing skills eventually made headway. She always gives the best advice, so I consider listening to her this time around as well. I'm at the edge of the stairs waiting for her while dressed in a button down shirt, overcoat and jeans. A moment later, she descends the stairs casually dressed for the park. I take her hand in mine, and whisper that she looks beautiful in her ears. She's smiling from ear to ear. I'm glad I've made her day with a plan for everyone to leave and have their best night yet. Aiden comes around. "This has to be the first night I don't have a pending task to worry about. Thanks, Marelyn." "Anytime, cuz." They share a laugh and he jogs out the door, meeting the rest who are already on their way. "What made you think of the park, Zeke?" She asks, hooking her arm around mine as we walk over to the basement. "It's having actual fun than a stuck-up fancy dinner, where we clink glasses and just don't do anything." "I see your point." Sh
