A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) novel Chapter 82

“Richard did what?"

As I spoke, my gamma appeared at the top of the stairs. I all but flew towards him, slamming him against the wall.

"You should be in L.A, Richard. Are you still here because of Sara?"

His eyes bore into mine but he refused to struggle against the tight grip on his throat. My claws were hurting him now. Thin lines of blood trickled down his neck as I waited for him to defend himself somehow.

Maybe say something. But he couldn't speak if he wanted to, could he? I was blocking his windpipe.

"Let him go, Nick! It's not him you're mad at!" Jake’s grip was tight and hard as he struggled to pull my hands off our friend.

"Listen to me. Let go off him! Your making a big mistake!"

This was my gamma. A loyal friend. A brother. What the hell was I doing? I really was losing it.

As I released him, he doubled over and started to cough. I watched the claw wounds start to heal and was filled with shame.

I rushed up the stairs, feeling Jake behind me.

"What the hell is wrong with you? That is your Gamma! Your friend!"

“He shouldn't be talking to her. He nurtured feelings for her once,” I groaned.

“It was a long time ago and he didn’t know about the two of you. You're obsessing again. You promised you wouldn't,” he reminded me.

“You weren’t there that first day! You didn’t see him with her when I went to Sara’s. She looked at him with warmth. He touched… ” I didn’t want to finish the sentence.

I was embarrassed as hell yet I had to defend myself.

This wasn’t about my gamma. I just wanted to hurt someone and I took my anger out on him when he was helping me.

But calling Sara? Goddess! What would she think? That I couldn’t even be there for her kid?

Once I entered the suites, I heard a few feet scuttling off like squirrels. It must be the housekeeper and Janice. They didn’t want to run into me or what?

“I’ll stop at his school before leaving for L.A,” I said to my beta.

Walking into my room, I slammed the door behind me and went into the shower.

Moments later, I was dressed and ready to be to normal again. I needed to get busy. To channel all of the rage to my business. My female, who said she loved me once, was with another man. But that was life and I had to deal with it.

As soon as I got out of my room, I heard my gamma and beta talking. Richard was very angry. With good reason. I had to make things right ASAP before it festered.
