A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret)

Elise Reign

There were too many things to deal with and all of them were equally troubling.

Luna Reign stood near the door of her driver's hotel room. She didn't dare go near the little one crouched in the corner. Didn't dare listen to what her senses were screaming at her.

Everything had taken such an unbelievable turn. Forty-eight hours ago, all she worried about was Nick's engagement and an heir to the Reign dynasty. It was her duty as Luna to worry about these things.

Now, her troubles had trippled. She couldn't decide which one needed to be solved first.

'Well, you can scratch Reign heir off your list of worries now,' a voice mocked in her head.

An heir? By this omega-turned-lone wolf?

The female who was now worse than a nobody bore her Nickolas an heir?

'Where's Sebastian?' She mindlinked Mae.

'He's in Devon's room. Would you like us bring him here too?' She asked.

The Luna didn't know what she would like. She didn't even know why she made them drag the girl's father here.

The Luna regarded her as she held her son to her chest, head hanging low. She occasionally stole glances at the Luna.

This was why she was terror-stricken earlier at that ice-cream place.

'The alpha's still in the city, huh?' She asked her gamma.

'Yes, Luna, the last time I checked.'

All Elise wanted to do before returning home was to learn about the Sergeant. She knew the man-wolf like she knew the sun would rise at dawn.

But she needed confirmation. She wanted to know how he came to be here. This forced meeting with the omega was merely her attempt to kill two birds with one stone.

Scare out of the town or at least, far from Nick. Plus gleam information from her about her police friend.

She'd sent Mae, Truly, and the other human to drag the girl here. But they'd driven back with a mother and child. The humans who worked with them were under a strict non-disclosure agreement. They couldn't utter a word of what they see to outsiders.

As for Mae and the other wolf, the Luna would command them to never mention this to anyone. The burden of the secret would be off their shoulders.

But what about her? She wished she could un-know this information. Was this why her son built a getaway resort here? No, she couldn't believe it!

"I was so sure I handled you and your father," the Luna grumbled. "Clearly, I was wrong."

The girl looked up at her with fear and hate while clutching the boy tighter to her chest. The little one

lifted his head slightly and his eyes met the Luna. Her heart lurched.

She looked away, feeling too weird to speak to the omega in front of the pup. Heaving a deep frustrated sigh, she turned away and started to leave the room. Mae gave her a questioning look before she signaled for them to talk outside the room.

Sara POV

From the moment I first saw Nick's mom and Megan, I knew it was only a matter of time before things came to this.

I was supposed to be picking Alex

up and heading to my dad's shop like we always did. After running into the Luna earlier, I never planned on returning to the resort till I heard from Nick.

Now I'm in this hotel suite against my will. Dragged here with my precious child by her minions.

Moments after she left the room, her

two gammas had come to snatch

Alex away. After which they dragged

me here to kneel before her.

I wanted to scream with rage but she already threatened that she wouldn't let me see Alex if I made a sound.

I turned to look at the two werewolves near the door. Both trained warriors of Forest Moon. Gammas. One was a male I used to see around at the pack. "What do you want from us?" I asked with a shaky voice.

"I will ask the questions, lone wolf," she replied. "That's what you are now, isn't it?"

She leaned back on the sofa and crossed her legs. More composed now that the child was out of sight. She was evidently shaken when they brought us to her.

Now she seemed unbothered. Her Luna aura was filled with revulsion for me that I couldn't meet her gaze. I kept my head bowed, waiting for her questions. "And I have plenty of questions. That tiny wolf..." she trailed off.

I lifted my gaze in time to catch her deep sigh as her eyes darted to her guards. Of course, she wouldn't want words to get around that an omega bore her son an heir. "Who's your friend? The police half-wolf?" she asked.
