A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) novel Chapter 33

Sara POV

The next day, I gave Alex his morning bath in a ridiculously sophisticated bathroom. After preparing him for school, we were both ready to begin the day earlier than the usual time. Except for the feeling of being watched, I saw no sign of Nick before leaving his penthouse suites.

According to him, the mechanic discovered some faults with my car, and he would never let me drive Alex around in “that thing” anymore. Since I refused to drive the new one he replaced it with, he assigned someone to be our chauffeur. Not one, but two females. One of them is a gamma.

After dropping Alex in school, they insist on taking me to work, so I let them.

My phone buzzed with a message as soon as I entered my office building. It's my boss. He'll want answers, but I wonder if I'm ready to share the latest development in my life with anyone right now.

"See me in my office," his message read.

Missing work and then calling 911. I should've known that would raise a lot of questions and concerns.

"You're at work. That means everything's gonna be alright, right?" he asked once I entered his office.

"Yeah, of course," I replied. Silence followed.

Then he spoke again. “It’s about Alex's father, isn't it?"

I didn't respond.

"I'm a wolf, too, you know, and far from blind. The resemblance is striking, Sara," he said. "Also, your father confirmed it. Although all he said was, 'It's about the child's father."

When I still didn't say anything, he muttered as if deep in thoughts, "Your child's father is alpha Reign, huh?"

He looked like it's hard to believe. I still don't what to say, so I remained quiet with my head bowed. After the silence passed, he sighed, and I knew what would follow. Thank Goddess, I've prepared my response for this one.

“If you want to get off the team, I -”

“No, Jeremy, please," I cut in. "He’s the head of a multinational. I doubt he’ll have time to stick around this small town. We'll be dealing with his men, not him. You said so yourself,”

I didn’t want to get off the team. I loved my job, and especially now that my life was getting interrupted, I needed it to hold on to my sanity.

Nick couldn’t be here all the time. He’d be scarce. I could avoid him at work and in his resort.

"What about Alex?" he asked gently.

"What about him?"

"You rang the police, Sara. Are you sure the dust has settled? What if he decides he doesn’t want his pup living in here in this humble town?”

"He hasn't decided that yet," I replied.

Nick's mother must've returned to L.A. by now. There's nothing to worry about once I go through his list of rules and sign it.

"I called the police because I wouldn’t let him near Alex, and he threatened to take him away, so I panicked. Nothing more. All of that is settled now, I promise. He wants the child right here for now," I told him.

Jeremy nodded. "I hope you're right. This is important work, Sara. I don't want your love life interrupting the flow."

"It won't because I don't have a love life, boss!" I didn't mean to snap, but he needed to be clear about that.
