A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) novel Chapter 47

Lindsey. That's the name of the gamma assigned to be Alex's "bodyguard." She stood watching me with annoyance for a moment. Though it seemed like she was considering my words.

Moments passed before she shrugged and said,

“Okay. We'll head to your father’s shop before taking you home.”

"The resort is NOT our home!"

"It is for now. Until the alpha decides on somewhere else!" she snapped back as she held the door for Alex to enter.

Once my son and I were sitted in the car with Janice on the other side, the driver pulled into the road.

Avery’s patrol car was the first thing I noticed when we arrived at my dad's. Our driver pulled over behind it as I helped Alex out.

“Uncle Avery,” Alex beamed, running into his arms.

“How’s my little man? Aww, but you’re growing really big now," he pretended to struggle as he lifted the child.

After a moment of playing and talking with the kid, he sent him inside to meet my father.

When he turned to look at me, I simply said,

“Yes."

He gave a confused frown before I quickly added,

“Yes, we can go out to dinner later. But first I have to go ho... eh… I mean...” I didn’t want to say the resort. I also hated to lie that I was taking him home.

“I have to take Alex to his dad's place first.”

Avery's mouth parted slowly. Then his face transformed into a smile as he nodded.

“I see."

Then his eyes settled on the fancy car that brought Alex and me. 'Please don't ask me about them,' I pleaded silently.

He didn't, thank Goddess. Instead, he asked,

“What time?”

I looked at my wristwatch.

“An hour and a half from now, maybe. Would that be ok?”
