All Chapters of My Single Daddy Alpha: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

CILLIAN “You certainly know how to clear a room,” I teased Ciara as I hugged her tightly. “But I have to admit, I’m impressed.” “With what?” Ciara asked. From the corner of my eye, I spotted Wes leaning closer to Ella, whispering more about the merger and what was to take place. Despite the fact that I had to deal with humans in Moon Valley, seeing shifters mingling with humans didn’t seem to be as taboo as I would have thought. “The way you handled yourself,” I said. “I think you did great.” “Well, thanks,” Ciara said. “I just hope that the media buys into the distraction and that the whole kidnapping thing falls away as quickly as possible.” “It will,” Ella said. “You’re doing the right thing coming forward. The world needs to see that you’re alive and well.” “Did you want me to get the media to redact their previous statements about you?” Wes asked. “Because I can pull in a few favors and have the tables turned so fast on them.” “That won’t be necessary,” Ciara said with a

CILLIAN “No, I don’t want to wait. Get me Alex,” Ciara hissed into the receiver of the phone. I glanced over my shoulder and watched her pace the length of the room. Gray clouds drifted by the window, allowing little rays of light to trickle in through the curtains. It pained me to think that the monsoon season was already over. I dropped the paper on the table and walked over to her as she threw her hand up in frustration. “We can’t use the Argentum jet to get back to Moon Valley,” she said, her voice cracking under her frustration. “I’m trying to get a hold of Alex to see if he can track down my personal jet.” My eyebrows rose as I let out a chuckle and shook my head. Ciara’s face went cold, clearly unimpressed by my lack of understanding as to why this was an issue. Then again, being the CEO of a huge company, she was probably used to getting things right away. But watching her struggle with arranging a flight back home was comical to me. Ciara shooed me away, and I headed to

The river’s icy water licked my toes. I couldn’t stop the smile that stretched across my face. It was good to be back. Granted, I’d only been gone for a few days, but it seemed like a lifetime. The way the birds sang to each other and the deer drank from the river all seemed so much more.With my wolf sated after a long run through the pine woods, I felt at peace. Every care in the world melted away as I watched the river shift from silver to gold as the sun kissed the canopy of the forest around me. It was good to be here without feeling the constant need to go back to the concrete jungle that was Vegas. Whenever I’d come back to Moon Valley in the past, I’d only stayed for a day or two. I’d come to collect the vitamins I needed to survive and then leave. The last thing I’d wanted was to mingle with the people from my past. But now that I’d not only won the Uthando but also the hearts and loyalty of my pack, Moon Valley was no longer the dark cloud overhead.I let my hair down, relis

The hallway was dark and gloomy, making the portraits on the walls more ominous than they should have been. My eyes flickered to the faces and eyes that tracked me through the hallway. Harkness Manor had always been full of history, but as I contemplated my future with Cillian, they seemed to whisper to me, encouraging me to make a decision.As I made my way to the guest room, Bartholomew’s words danced in my mind, playing back over and over like a broken record that wouldn’t stop. Everything he told me was true, right down to the way Cillian and I felt about each other. There was no denying our love. We were fated mates for crying out loud. Our love was literally written in the stars. So why was the choice to mark each other so hard? Why did there always seem to be a reason that hindered us from marking each other?Memories of my youth haunted me. All those times we’d promised each other as kids that we would be with each other forever. Back then, I always thought those promises were

Iwas going to have a heart attack if my heart kept skipping. It had never occurred to me that he wouldn’t want to mark me anymore. All the years I had known him, all he ever wanted was me. But had I become damaged goods to him? I didn’t want him to see me as some charity case—as someone he had to fix.“You silly woman,” he said, and the complete tenderness in his voice dissolved all my worries. Cillian was so much stronger than I ever could be. He curled his arms around me so tightly that I thought I’d merge into him. It was as if I could shatter into a million pieces, and he’d have the patience to glue me back together, piece by piece.“You’re all I have ever wanted, don’t you know that by now?” he asked, then brushed his lips over mine. I tasted his breath, yearning to drag him toward me, but I didn’t. With my heart soaring, I stared at him, my eyes drifting from the golden specks in his eyes to his lush lips.He had a five o’clock shadow. The stubble tickled my fingers as I brushed
