A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) novel Chapter 39

"His name is Avery Hawke. He lives in this town," I replied.

"Obviously! Tell me something I don't know, omega. Like how he came to be here," she said.

Suddenly, she sounded truly curious. It didn't feel like she was asking for the sake of questioning me.

"I don't know such things about him!" I replied.

"How come? You're... friends, aren't you?" She asked, then gave a signal for the guard to leave.

I didn't reply.

"Is he the father... of the baby wolf?" she seemed to hold her breath.

Was it denial? Or she truly didn't sense her blood in my son despite the resemblance with hers?

“Where’s Alex?” I asked, my patience waning. This wasn’t her territory. “This is kidnapping, Luna!”

She ignored my threatening tone. Of course.

“I already told you, I'll be asking all of the questions, Miss James,” she said. “How old is the child? Two or three? Were you at Rain resort yesterday?”

“I’m no longer a member of your pack. I don’t owe you answers or submission!” I seethed but still couldn't meet her gaze.

My heart raced as I spoke. It was taking so much energy to run my mouth around her. She was a Luna, afterall, and my son's grandmother. I was still a weak one of low birth. Her mere presence intimidated me.

“Hmm,” she sighed. “Bold now, huh? Just cuz my son was between your legs you think you can look me in the eye and talk back?”

“Where is my son. Where’re you keeping him?” I cried.

“The little one is safe. You can't possibly think I’ll harm a pup, Miss James. How old is he?” she asked again.

That little assurance did not ease the fear and rage inside me. I ignored her question.
