All Chapters of Sold to Alpha Brothers: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

LucyI couldn’t say how long it was before I could stand to talk. I told the officers what I could remember, and they left me in David’s care. He took me to a nearby café, draping his jacket over my shoulders. I watched him from the seat by the window as he ordered our drinks. He came back and set a tall steaming cup in front of me. I didn’t know what it was, but it didn’t matter. I wrapped my hands around it, enjoying the way the heat seemed to seep into my hands. I took deep breaths, shuddering as I tried to calm down. David sat beside me and pulled me close, sharing his body heat, but he didn’t press me to say anything or eat. I looked at the small tray of sweets in front of me and my lips twitched. “You… hate chocolate,” I said. David chuckled and took a sip from his drink. “They’re not for me.”My lips trembled. “Do you… Do you still like lemon?”“I do,” he said. “And you? Peaches?”I nodded slowly. I shuddered and looked up at him. “Thank you… f-for saving me.”He smiled and

MattWe walked downstairs and opened the door. There was a group of official-looking people accompanied with a tall, willowy woman who smelled like chamomile and wore a lot of yellow. There were a bunch of flowers in her hair. She looked more like a nymph from human mythology than a witch. She looked around with wide eyes as her two companions looked at us. “We’re here on behalf of the Council and the Inter-Species Liaison.” Each of them extended a thick envelope toward us. “You’re being charged with several criminal charges, including human trafficking and deadly assault, on the human and the supernatural side. We’re here to bolster your human and supernatural representation against the organization pressing charges against you.”I grimaced. “What human organization?” Tony asked. “Liberation Front.”I had never heard of them. I took the envelope offered to me. His eyes narrowed. “And the supernatural charges?”“Several counts of assault and related human trafficking charges.”I

LucyI had no idea what David meant when he said a bit of everything, but after the fourth pizza was brought to our table, I really wished I had just chosen something to try. “David… isn’t this a bit too much?” I asked. He grinned. “Wait until the drink comes.”I frowned and went still before looking down the way toward where the woman was coming back with a giant glass bowl filled with something that seemed to bubble and spew clouds of mist. She set it on the table with a beaming smile before placing a set of metal straws and a set of spoons that look like broomsticks on the table. “You two enjoy!”“How… are we supposed to eat all of this?” I asked looking at him. “One bite at a time.”I stuck my tongue out at him and he laughed before gabbing one of the serving utensils. “Which one would like to try first? A classic? Something more daring?”“Classic, I guess.” He served me a giant slice of pizza covered in round red disks before serving himself. The slice took up most of the pla

LucyEveryone else seemed excited, but I still didn’t know what that was. “Is it… going to hurt?”He shook his head. “It’s a place filled with games, fun, and prizes. What do you say?”He looked over my head. “Lucy’s never been to an arcade.”One of the girls squealed. “Then, we definitely have to go!”He smiled and wiggled his eyebrows. “It’s not that far of a bus ride away… Or we could drive if you’re okay with that?”I looked back at everyone else and nodded. “Let’s go, then.”He punched the air as everyone clapped and we headed out. We walked through a barrier to a nearby bus station. Soon, we were on the bus, then transferring onto a train. Listening to everyone talk about their favorite games made me smile. It was hard not to smile with how excited they all looked. I thought back to when I heard about people go

MattI sat on the couch in my room, staring blankly at my phone. If I saw another legal document or heard another charge, I was going to scream. My wound had closed, but it still ached.  My heart was beating steadily, but my head was a mess. The guilt and desperation I wanted to feel about Lucy wasn’t there. I kept thinking it was because we didn’t have a bond, but it felt like a lie the more I thought about it. I had to face it. We had to face it. Lucy didn’t leave because she didn’t feel safe. She left because she didn’t want to be here because she wasn’t our mate. I got to my feet, pacing back and forth. My thoughts were turning and turning. The weight of knowing that, feeling that, and being unable to tell Tony that felt like it was crushing me. We had been looking for Lucy and lying to the pack for too long, but we didn’t have a clue. The lawyers were here every day to talk about the case, but there still was
