A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) novel Chapter 72

"Mr. Reign. What a surprise! I thought you were in the city."

"Well, I'm here now," the alpha said, his tone full of delight. "And I'm glad you are too. Miss Deere needs a ride."

He kept his eyes on Megan as he addressed the human.

"Could you do me a favor and get her to Pineapple’s or any other comfy hotel around."

"Sure! It's my pleasure, sir," Jude replied with a little too much glee.

Megan couldn't bear it. "Jude, could you please give us a moment?"

The human frowned, waiting for his boss' boss to okay the request. When he didn’t get the signal, he moved only a foot away as Megan started to speak again.

"Alpha, I don't understand. The other directors are staying at the resort -"

"Don't pretend you don't already know why I don't want you there, Megan! My mother was right. You should remain here for now. But I don't want you near them!"

Them? Who the hell was them? Megan was too angry and hurt to fully dissect the remark.

"B-but the Luna said I could stay there," she tried to argue.

“To keep an eye on Sara?” he snapped. “Why would you even want to do that? You hate each other now. And I know why she hates you, but I still can't figure out why YOU hate her."

Was he serious right now? He really couldn't tell why from all the times that she threw herself at him? The cluelessness in his tone gave Meg courage to mouth away.

“I thought you already knew, alpha. Sara turned out to be what my mother warned me about, I told you. She lied to me for years -”

“Years?" He cut her off.

"Are you sure about those nunbers? Cuz she and I were together for only a few months, not years."
