All Chapters of Alpha Thomas: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

T H O M A STwo years later.Hera announces, "Guess what? It's twins!" as she reclines in the chair. Today, she's finally taking a break from the bakery. The bakery has been thriving for the past two years and is the top spot in the city. However, she's been pushing herself too hard, and it's starting to worry me, especially if she's carrying twins again.Thankfully, Mike, her old friend, is working part-time at the bakery to lend a hand, so it's covered for the day. Given his size, maybe we should consider making his position permanent.I shake my head and say, "No way. The chances of that happening again are so slim." I can't help but recall that we already have Addison and Aiden, and then Beatrix and Brooklyn.Hera insists, "The last time I was this big was when I was pregnant with Beatrix and Brooklyn. I'm telling you, it's twins."I counter, "And I'm telling you, it's just a big boy ready to take over the family business."She shoots me a deadly look. If looks could kill, I'd be

“Gelo?”Gelo stopped when Hera called his name. Hera knew he was about to go straight to Thomas’s office, but she happened to see him.“Good morning, Queen,” he teased, making Hera arch her left brow and cross her arms in front of her chest.“Is everything under control, Gelo?” Hera asked, which she knew Gelo would answer with a ‘yes.’He flashed a smile at her and nodded his head.Hera squinted her eyes as her gaze was still fixed on him. “I don’t buy that. The city is under attack by rogues, and El Ordre is struggling to stop them. You can tell me everything was fine, but I’m not dumb.”“Don’t you trust Thomas?” he suddenly asked.“I trust my husband, but I know he’s having difficulty controlling the situation.”Gelo sighed. “He has us. We will not let him down, Hera. You had better relax because your due date is approaching swiftly.”Relax? How can she do that?“You can’t do anything about it, Hera. So, please, leave everything to your husband—to us.”Hera heaved a deep sigh. “Fine

H E R AI pulled my long hair back into a ponytail to beat the heat. But deep down, I wondered if the Gitana Queen was as amazing as the pamphlet claimed and if there were scouts keeping an eye on the crowd.If that was the case, I want to throw them off the scent. A little thrill of excitement bubbled up at the idea of tricking some cheesy palm reader. This weekend, I was determined to find my fun wherever I could.Vendors were scattered all around, selling all sorts of goods. Most of the stuff didn’t really have any use for me in the modern world. There were amulets, lucky crystals, and fancy gothic crosses meant to keep evil spirits at bay.I realized I was missing some medieval essentials, like a tin cup and a knife. Those would be pretty important if I wanted something to drink.The drink options were limited to just three: water, beer, and wine. The vendors were more than happy to serve you, but you had to bring your own cup. No paper cups in sight.One vendor told me that if I

Hera felt the drunken gaze sweep over her body, lingering on her chest. At that moment, it hit her—she might as well have been wearing a sign that said, “I’m a virgin, come and get it.”Disgusted, she turned on her heel and stormed away from the smirking guy, grabbing a forgotten pencil and quickly tying her hair up in a messy bun. A quiet corner beckoned her.It was nearly midnight, the time she promised Keia she’d call it a night. Just a little longer to go, and then she’d be free. One down, three more to get through. Swapping her wine for water, Hera settled in, closed her eyes, and started counting down the minutes until she could escape.Gelo approached Thomas with a grin that said it all.“Found one, did you?”“Yes, and she’s a real stunner,” Gelo replied, finishing his drink. “Don’t wait up for me, old man.”“You know where to find me. Just make sure she’s of age, Gelo. We don’t need any trouble here.”“Ah, you worry too much. Good luck, dude. Looks like the pickings are slim t

Handfasting really spills up the games. “She’ll be a stunning prize for whoever wins,” Jude said, munching away.“So, who are the knights?” Gelo asked, scanning the room.“Anyone with a horse can join in, but Aurora’s crew always comes out on top. Most of these weekend warriors don’t really know how to play like knights do.”Thomas and Gelo shared a knowing glance and a quick nod.“I need to chat with my friend alone,” Hera said to the Neanderthal, but he didn’t move an inch. “If I’m going to go along with this, I need some space.” He didn’t even crack a smile. “Listen, as your queen, princess, or whatever, I command you to leave,” she insisted, pointing toward the tent’s entrance.Realizing she was losing her grip on the situation, Keia chimed in, “Hey Bruce?” She tugged on his arm. “Ever heard of PMS?” That finally got him to step outside. “There,” Keia said, brushing her hands together. “You just have to know the right words.”“I thought he’d never budge.”“It’s not too bad,” Keia
