All Chapters of The Alpha’s reckoning : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

LISA’S POV“You’re awake?” I whisper, barely believing it.“Oh my God, he’s awake!” I scream, bolting out of the room. I can finally go home now.I dash down the hallway, my heart racing with excitement. I need to find Marien—our hard work has finally paid off. In my haste, I don’t see where I’m going and crash into something—or rather, someone. I look up and see Ronan. But I’m too happy to frown or get angry.“Are you okay? Where are you going in such a hurry?” he asks, concerned.I flash him a big smile before shouting, “Congratulations!”“For what?” he asks, confused.“He’s awake!” I squeal, my joy spilling over. All those sleepless nights have finally paid off.“Who? My father?” he asks, his voice trembling with hope.I’m too happy to speak, so I just nod, grinning from ear to ear.“Are you sure?” His eyes search mine, needing confirmation.“Yes, Ronan, he’s awake!” I shout, shaking his shoulders with my hands.“He’s awake?” A smile spreads across his face, and he pulls me close,

RONAN’S POVIt's been a week since I dropped Lisa off, a week since I last had a good night's sleep. I can't stop thinking about her and those boys of hers.I just can't get them out of my head. As soon as I got home, I started looking through my old things because they reminded me of my younger self.And for some reason, her sons look exactly like I did when I was young the same hair, the same eyes. They looked just like me. But it doesn’t make sense. The kids are five years old. They can’t be mine if they’re five, unless she was pregnant for two years, which sounds completely absurd even to me. Werewolf pregnancies don’t even last nine months. Well, sometimes they do, but in most cases, they don’t.“But what if they aren’t five?” a voice whispers in my head, but I push it away. It doesn’t even make sense. Lisa said they were five, and we’ve been friends since childhood. Even though we aren’t close now, she has never lied to me."It’s been seven years since you last saw her; maybe sh

LISA'S POV"Goodbye, baby," Jessica kissed my cheek before turning toward the door."And where do you think you're going, missy?" I looked up from the TV to see Jessica looking absolutely stunning. She was wearing a short, shimmering black dress and my black heels the ones she got me last Christmas. Her hair was curled to perfection, and she had on light makeup."Well, Daniel and I are going out for drinks," she smirked."You've been going out a little too much, you know," I crossed my arms in front of my chest. Since I came back, Jessica has been on dates, drinks, and who knows what else with a different guy almost every day. I know it's just Jessica being Jessica, but I thought she'd take tonight off.Honestly, I don’t even know how she manages her shifts at the hospital with all these nights out. But then again, it's Jessica we're talking about."You know, babe, you only live once," she smiled, fixing her hair while glancing at her reflection in a small mirror she was holding."You

LISA’S POV “Oh look, your car is over there too, Ronan,” I say, motioning toward the car parked outside my apartment.“Oh yeah,” he replies, but still turns to go back to the apartment with me.“So…” I raise a brow, motioning at the car. I don’t say anything, but I know he understands what I’m trying to say. I want him gone too. I’m too exhausted to start another argument after what happened between me and Adam earlier. Whatever he wants to discuss is none of my business. We had a deal, which he signed and agreed to.“So…” He repeats my word with a cocked brow and a slight smirk. I don’t know what he’s getting at by trying to play dumb, but I’m too cranky to keep dragging it on.“So… you should get into it and drive back to wherever you came from.” Okay, that came out a little meaner than intended.“I will,” he says, and I almost smile. “But before that, we have some things we need to talk about, and until then, I don’t think I’ll be leaving.” With a single glance at his face, I know

LISA’S POV“I don’t think she is, but I’ll let you think whatever you want, Lisa,” he sighs. “People don’t change, remember?” He used my own words against me. the same words i used to tell years ago whenever he complained about ithers to me “Those words of yours could’ve easily sent me into a spiral, and I would have walked away without looking back, not even once. But not now. Not when my children are involved. Maybe you won’t give me a chance, and we don’t get to work out our differences or rekindle what we once had, even if it was just for a little while. But I want to be there for my kids. I might’ve been a shitty partner, but I want to try my best to be the best father I can be to them.”I don’t know what to feel at this point. Ronan is giving me too many mixed signals.I know he’s lying, but then if he wants to be the best father, how does he plan to do that? Ronan has gone back on his word twice already how can I be sure he won’t just take my kids from me if he finds out they’
