All Chapters of The Alpha’s reckoning : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

LISA’S POV“Help me out of this,” I hiss as the silver touches my bare leg. My head is upside down, and though I can’t see his face clearly, I swear there’s mischief in his gaze.“Get me out of this, for fuck's sake!” I growl, but he doesn’t move an inch from his spot. He just stares at me as if I have a third eye growing on my chest. “Are you deaf or something?” The disgust in my tone is obvious.“Well, normally when people ask for my help, their tone is a little calmer than yours, and they also add a ‘please’ at the end, so it’s hard for me to make out what you want right now, Elisa.” I didn’t miss the sarcasm in his voice.“Well, I would’ve added a ‘please’ if it wasn’t your fault that I’m hanging upside down from a tree like a fucking piñata!”“Could you enlighten me on how it’s my fault?”“Well, one: because you fucking dragged me here. Isn’t it your responsibility to keep an eye out or maybe tell me to beware of the traps you’ve laid here?” There can’t be traps anywhere in a pa

LISA’S POV“We're here,” Jack announces as the car comes to a halt. I look up to see my apartment building in front of us. “Yay, I didn’t die,” I say sarcastically. Jack bursts into a fit of laughter that suddenly turns into coughs.“Are you okay?” I didn't need to ask to know he isn't. The way he's squeezing his chest is a dead giveaway. It’s the stab wound—they probably didn’t treat it right. The dagger was poisoned, so the poison is probably spreading through his body.“I’m good,” he smiles, but I don’t miss the way he bites his lip, probably to hide the pain. It must be unbearable because he places his hand on his chest, right on the spot where I stabbed him.“Are you sure?” Even though I stabbed him in self-defense, I feel a little guilty now plus we are friends now even though it hasn't been twenty fours of the friendship but I dont have bad intentions and i wouldn't want the wound to turn into something huge because I don't think I will be able to forgive myself.“What do you

LISA'S POV“SO... why didn’t you tell me you and my cousin broke up? Well, I thought so but then I thought you guys were having a hard time and you needed a push,” Jessica says, laying her head on my shoulder. “I’m sorry, it must’ve been so awkward when I was doing that whole pushing thing, right?”After changing and freshening up, Jess forced the kids into a nap. In her words, "the tea is better than any theme park we would be going to." Plus, she wanted to clear things up. But I don’t think it’s right for me to tell her everything. I think I should speak to Adam about it first. Even though he has been avoiding me like the plague, I need to talk to him beforehand.“Well... it wasn’t just awkward. It was low-key annoying too,” I sigh.“I’m really sorry about that, but it’s your fault, you know that, right?” she replies.“How is it my fault?” I turn, pushing her head off my shoulder.“You should’ve told me you guys weren’t a thing. The moment you guys ended things, I should’ve been the

RONAN'S POV I can't believe I'm saying this, but I've fucked up. I've fucked up really bad.I shouldn’t have said what I said. I should have just helped her down the moment she got into the trap. I totally forgot about the fact that things are a bit salty between us. It was going to take a lot to get to her, but seeing her here, I couldn't help myself but try to joke around like we used to.I still don’t know if she has no idea she is my second chance mate or if she is just hiding it. But if she knew and is disregarding that, she must be the best actress to walk this planet. my chest feels as if its going to catch on fire whenever i see her but for some reason her mean retorts give some closure, because you only get mad when you care and that means she cares enough to get mad. “Are you okay, boss man?” Kyle asks, strolling into my office.“How many times do I have to tell you to knock before coming in, Kyle?” I groan, running my fingers through my hair.“I did. You didn’t answer, so

LISA’S POV I don't know what he means, so I shoot him another text.Me: Why should I turn around?Jack: Just turn around and you’ll know why.Turning my head to the side, I see a pair of black boots next to the mat I'm sitting on. Slowly, I raise my head and, lo and behold, Jack is standing in front of me with a mischievous smile plastered on his face."Hello there, friend," he waves his hand at me."What in the blue cheese are you doing here?" I chuckle. "How did you even know I'm here?""Well... you said you were at the park, and going to the park alone isn't a very good thing, you know?""Why is that?" I laugh. "What absurd theory do you have to back that up now?" I move to the side so I'm fully facing him."Well," he begins, taking a seat next to me on the picnic mat, "there isn't any theory, to be honest, but it's friendship code to never let your friend go to the park alone unless there's a life or death situation stopping you from going with them." I study his face for a few s
