All Chapters of The Alpha’s reckoning : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

RONAN’S POV“Mate? Kids?” That explains a lot. She has no idea that Gretchen left me four years ago.I wanted to run after her and clear things up, tell her that she is my mate and that the only kids I have are the ones we share. The kids she keeps claiming aren’t mine, but I know they are.Before I came here, I wasn’t sure, but now, after seeing her, I’m convinced. From her body language, her delayed responses, the way her nose flares every so often, and how she looked like she was about to cry all of it said everything. A long time ago, that was how I knew she was holding something back, and she still is. The difference now is that she’s lying instead of telling the truth like she used to when cornered.Every ounce of my body is telling me to run after her, clear this up, and not leave until she confirms with her own mouth that I’m the father of those kids and the other two I haven’t seen yet.Because I clearly heard that Adam guy say she has quads, and if my English is correct, qu

RONAN’S POV"I know you're still mad at me, but can you give me a chance this time?" I say, handing Jack a bottle of malt. It’s the closest thing to beer in the house.Dad needs to stay sober for six months, so when he got back home, he made me toss out everything with alcohol. Not that there was much to begin with."Shoot then," Jack leans back into the chair that’s been laid out like a bed. We’re currently on the rooftop, sitting in reclining chairs, just like we used to when we were teenagers."What I did the other day was wrong. I shouldn’t have said what I said. I was just...""Blinded by jealousy and anger?" Jack raises a brow, taking a sip from his bottle."Well... yes, I was blinded by my anger." Jack is like a hawk he notices things you'd never think he would, and his speculations are almost always right. I don’t know how he figured it out, but he did. I was jealous, but I couldn’t admit it after the first accusation."And you were jealous," he adds. I knew he’d make me admit

LISA’S POV“Mommy,” Sergio whispers.“Yes, my love,” I kneel to his level.“Why does the guy with the black hoodie keep following us?” His voice is alert, with hints of fear and a slight stutter.I guess I wasn’t the only one feeling like we were being followed. “No, don’t look at him,” Sergio cautions when I try to glance in the direction.“I need to look at him to know if he’s following us, Sergie.”“No, Captain Spy says we shouldn’t make it obvious when we think someone’s watching.” I couldn’t help but chuckle at the seriousness in his tone.“How do I know he’s following us if I don’t look at him, Sergie?”Captain Spy is the new cartoon Sergio has been obsessed with. Ever since the school closed for the summer holidays, the kids have been watching more cartoons, thanks to Jessica. He’s been watching a lot of Captain Spy and now he thinks everything in real life is just like it is in the cartoon.He even made me enrol him in judo instead of karate like his siblings for the summer se

RONAN’S POV“How did it go?” Jack asks as he passes me a bag of chips. I didn’t even know I was hungry until I took a handful and tossed it into my mouth. “It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good either,” I say between chews. “Hmm, enlighten me, Ronnie boy,” he exclaims, passing me a game pad. We’re currently in his cabin or ‘the sacred game house,’ as he likes to call it. I hate coming over here but with Kyle away, and my dad acting like some housewife, Jack's place is the only place I have to take some breath before I go back to the pack house “Well, I wasn’t able to meet the children today.”“That must’ve sucked,” he hisses, and it did. It freaking sucked. It hurt, too. I’ve been wanting to meet the kids ever since I found out about them, and every time something stands in the way, I feel like I should push it aside and see them by any means necessary. But I can’t not after everything I put Lisa through. Not after the way I messed up her life with my stupid choices. Even though I d

**LISA’S POV:**It’s been two weeks since I introduced Ronan to the kids, and things have gone surprisingly well better than I expected, honestly. He’s visited four times now, and of all the kids, Sebastian and Ronan seem to have formed the strongest bond. Sebastian has become practically glued to his side during these visits. And the others? Well, they’re warming up to him in their own ways. The kids video call him almost every night or during the day except for Salvador, who remains completely uninterested.No matter how much I encourage Salvador to interact with Ronan, he stays distant, pulling further and further away from the rest of us. Every time Ronan shows up, Salvador either hides in his room or clings to me, giving one-word responses whenever Ronan attempts to engage. It’s like there’s an invisible wall between them, and no matter what Ronan does, Salvador keeps building it higher. The other day, Ronan brought him a toy gun, hoping to break through the barrier.
