A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) novel Chapter 71

Megan

The alpha had his face down on his phone as he spoke. But Megan could sense his horror at the mere fact that she was here.

She had been about to board the plane back to the city after that degrading interrogation. Then the Luna had contacted her and commanded her to stay put. It had been with mixed feelings that she'd gotten down from the plane. Hours later, she'd headed to the makeshift Reign office in the town.

Now, here she was. From the distaste she sensed around the alpha, maybe another interrogation was underway .

He was waiting for her to answer his question, yet still typing away on his phone. She allowed her eyes to roam his face and couldn't help recalling their younger days.

“Did you hear me? I asked why you're here?"” he said.

She opened her mouth to speak but ran out of words when he lifted his gaze. His eyes were truly enthralling. They held no pleasant emotions at that instance yet were as captivating as ever. How could he be Sara’s?

“I'm here to work, alpha,” Megan replied coolly.

He arched his brow. “What do you mean you're here to work? You sent two high school kids to follow Sara around. Who put you up to that sort of work?”

“I… We ran into each other at the resort, and I was just… curious about her, how she's been and all that,” she stammered.

“You could’ve just talked to her!"

What a fucking hypocrite! He did the very same thing to the same girl back in college. Or was he the only one allowed to do so? Meg tried to swallow her annoyance before replying,

"She wouldn't... talk to me, that's why."

"Didn’t you hear from the kids parents?”

“Yes, they’re getting a restraining order if I go near the boys again. That doesn’t mean I have to leave town, alpha. It just means I won't be allowed anywhere near them.”

"Are you lecturing me about restraining orders instead of telling me why you’re still here?" He finally dropped the phone into his jacket pocket as he stared down at her.
