All Chapters of The Alpha's Cure: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Unmoved, Jude answers, "Yes.""The wedding's off."Gripping my bicep, Jude says, "You've been an Ancient all this time but sent me on a wild goose chase, so we're even.""But you knew all along, yet you pretended you needed her gift. So, you just wanted to sleep with her?"He snatches me close as I try to walk away, but I cast a spell that paralyzes him for a few seconds. His limbs go limp, and he crashes to the floor. Once the spell wears off, he leaps up and catches me before I lock myself in the bedroom.With his body pinned to mine, he whispers, "There's my Ajay. Don't let anyone or any being make you a servant."Soon he's kissing me, and I try to knee him in his groin, but he blocks me, saying, "We need that baby.""What do you want from me?""Ajay, I don't want anything from you. I love you. You're the one who's not listening to me. Being Alpha isn't what you think. It's making me hollow. I'm here to tell you I love and need you. I mated with you and even joined a religion with

Jude called me from the road before he got to Knight Island. It's been a few days since we've spoken, but his last words were, "Don't worry if you don't hear from me. Let me focus on getting our home in order."Winnie told Ellie that Jude asked her and Paige to help with the wedding. Now, Ellie wants to help too. I explain to Winnie, "I don't know how much Ellie has told you, but because she dislikes Jude, I'm uncomfortable with her planning our wedding. He feels the same.""Ellie should understand that. I'll reject her with kindness."Thanks, Winnie."When I pick my bridesmaids, I include Ellie. Then choose Drusilla, Winnie, and Lana. I assume the groomsmen are Wilson, Andrew, Micah, and Sammy. Rojelio can be our ring bearer. I only need to find a flower girl.I texted Jude, asking if he had any suggestions, but he didn't respond. On Sunday at church, Paige approached me, saying, "Winnie told me you need a flower girl. Our nine-year-old daughter can fill that spot if you don't find a

While Bruce is on hiatus from his marriage, I take a detour before I return to Knight Island. Wilson's flying out of Michigan, so while on my road trip, I stop and visit Lily. I wait until she leaves her home, then follow her to the grocery store. As she shops, I discreetly watch her. Once she's in line to check out, I rush to my car and wait for her. She pops her trunk, and I greet, "Hi, Mrs. Pratt. Let me help you with your bags."Leaning away and squinting, she stutters, "Hi, uh, how do you know me?""I'm a friend of Chris's. You and I never met, but I've seen you supporting him on different occasions."Hanging her head to conceal her pain, I extend my hand, saying, "I'm Jude. And I'm sorry about your loss. Chris was a great person."Now squinting my way, she asks, "Jude? I don't remember him mentioning you, but thanks. His father and I raised a fine man. I won't let anyone take that from us."Placing her bags in the trunk for her, I comment, "You and Bruce?""Pardon me?" She asks

After Jude tells me to have some class like a lady I confront him, but he notices Aaron gawking my way. Jude whispers seductively into my ear, "You have an admirer, Melanie; however, refrain from sleeping with him.""Why not?" I question, still watching Aaron. "He has a girlfriend, and she's beautiful, so don't play yourself."I don't comment, but I continue to seduce Aaron with my gaze. The longer Jude whispers in my ear, the more aroused I become. Sensing that he's purposely seducing me, I look into Jude's eyes. He's so turned on, it turns me on even more.Since he thinks we're siblings, he'll never sleep with me. In an attempt to trick him into making love to me, I say, "I have needs too, Jude. Excuse me, but trust me, this guy wants me more than his oh-so-beautiful girlfriend."As I walk toward Aaron, I hear Jude scolding under his breath, "Melanie, come back here."I desire Jude so badly that Aaron and I barely make it inside a bedroom before I'm tugging at his clothing. Aaron

Stunned, I stare at Aaron before I stutter, "W-What do you mean Melanie aborted your baby?"Under his breath, Aaron grunts, "Damn."I continued, "When was this?""She got pregnant the night we met." "How did you find out?""She told my aunt Delilah, who called me excited.""Excited?" I frown."You know my family are snobs, babe. Plus, my aunt's obsessed with those people. She was excited we made it into their family." Searching my surroundings, I whisper, "Let's take a ride."While Aaron drives, I text Lana, letting her know I left to talk with Aaron. She sends an excited emoji, but I kill her joy immediately by texting: It's about Jude.Once I'm done texting, I say, "What has Delilah told you concerning the Knights?""Nothing. She wants their trust. But after she and I confronted Melanie, I did my own research."Wide-eyed, I ask, "What'd you find?"Hesitant, Aaron says, "I met someone who knew about you and Jude."Aaron hosted a frat party. He was still upset over our breakup, so h
