All Chapters of Fated to My Alpha Boss: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

The doorbell rang just as Charles and I were finishing our meal. He answered and let in a young woman who looked barely out of her teens.“Um, hi,” she murmured, fiddling with her purse. “I-is Theo here?”“Ah, you must be Theo’s girlfriend.” Charles opened the door wider, and she entered, looking nervous.When she passed him, she scooted wide to give him room, but I saw her nostrils flare as she took in his scent. She might be nervous around an alpha, but she liked what she smelled.A momentary flare of jealousy ripped through me, but Charles shut the door and returned to my side, slipping an arm around me. He was visually telling her he was taken by me. I relaxed into his side.“That’s his door,” Charles said, pointing at the interior door to the guards’ apartment.“Oh. Uh. Thanks.” She smiled at each of us shyly. “I’m Violet. Nice to meet you. And, um, sorry to disturb you.”She knocked on the door and stood waiting, still clearly nervous. In most circumstances, I might have tried t

We headed back down through the building to the parking garage, and Ed loaded us into a small blue car. Since I didn’t know him at all, I let Wendy sit up front with him and took the back with Theo. I kind of liked riding along with everybody on these jobs because it gave me a chance to see all the different areas in Packhaven.Today, we went in the opposite direction to what we had for the municipal park opening. And within fifteen minutes, we were leaving the city behind us. The steel and glass of Packhaven’s downtown dropped away, and we entered well-kept, green suburban neighborhoods. Intermixed with these were small mom-and-pop shops: cafes, boutiques, hardware stores, and all of the other essential places that made living in the suburbs comfortable.The homes were upscale, and the grounds were meticulously manicured. I could tell just by driving through them that there was definite truth to the story about Southhaven. We went through these for quite a while, and I didn’t see a s

“I hadn’t even thought about that. I hadn’t looked up any of my old work. Everybody in the Palace Press said that they had researched my work. I just assumed it was public.”He nodded. “I thought as much. They would research it. But that doesn’t mean that it’s available to the public.” Mr. Dale looked around furtively. “I know I can trust you, but I don’t know who else I can trust, And that’s why I had to send your bodyguard off.”“You should know I’ve read your work, and I’m one of only a few in Packhaven. I just happen to have relatives who live elsewhere in Orlune, and I had them send me a paper copy in the regular mail. They monitor email and such here, but I could get away with it that way.”He made a face. “I wouldn’t have wanted to get my family in trouble sending it in a way that might be intercepted. I’ve even made sure there’s no paper trail. I’ve already shredded the envelope and the article. But after reading it, I knew you were the person that I needed to talk to.”“Expla

I hugged Charles, pressing my cheek to his chest and drawing in a deep breath of his vetiver, letting it calm me before opening up the unpleasantness. While I had my arms around him, I stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear.“I have a lot to tell you, but not where we can be overheard.”He took a deep breath of me and kissed the top of my head. “I love the smell of you,” he whispered, then tipped his head away from me. “I don’t know about you, but I could use a shower,” he said loudly enough so that if anyone were listening, they would definitely hear him.“I guess I’ll join you,” I said, trying not to sound too awkward. And trying not to be too embarrassed at what I was implying.But this way, if either of the others came looking for us, they wouldn’t look too hard. I really hoped they weren’t interested in overhearing that sort of activity.Charles hung his coat on the rack and then headed for the bathroom, turning the water on. I crossed the main bedroom, and dropped my stuff on

He grabbed me and pulled me back, kissing me deeply. “Then let me try to take your mind off of it,” he said. “With something that I know brings you pleasure.”I wrinkled my nose and scowled at him. “I said I’m not in the mood.”He got the smallest pout on his face. “Tell you what,” he said. “Give me five minutes if I haven’t put you in the mood, then I’ll go take care of things by myself.”I sighed, my shoulder slumping. “All right,” I agreed. “Five minutes.”Twenty minutes later, I panted my guilt into the pillows. We’d done it again. Now I really felt sick.I pressed my face into the pillow and smothered to scream. This couldn’t keep going on. We had to do something.Maybe I could find a way to get birth control pills over the dark web so that nobody could trace them back to me. Then, I wouldn’t have to put the burden on Charles or our relationship. I just couldn’t imagine how an alpha who’d been having sex the way he wanted to would suddenly turn around and be like, “Yeah, let’s ju
