A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret)

My son's new room had been transformed into a child's dream. Toys and stuff bears were neatly arranged in the corner. Even the somewhat large bed was taken out. What sat in its place was a small fancy one for a growing child. The walls too were redone with bright colors. I stood speechless, unable to decide how I felt about all of it. Alex laid sleeping soundly in the dim light, a teddy bear clutched to his chest.

I was gone for a little over two hours. When did they do all of this?

The child stirred. Like he felt me in the room. He opened his eyes halfway before rubbing on it. Then he sat up.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Mommy..."

"Yes, baby," I moved to sit on the small, fluffy bed, and he climbed unto my arms.

"I've got new toys. Uncle Jake let me talk to daddy on the phone. He was busy. And he wished he could be here." He sounded sleepy but very happy.

"Is that so? Do you like your new bedroom... and toys?" I asked him.

"Yes, mommy. Say hello to biscuits. He's fwends with stuaws."

He holds out the brand new teddy bear in his arms. The old one, which he called straws, now laid on the side of the bed.

"Well, hello biscuits, nice to meet you," I said, shaking the toys hand.

"That," he pointed at another teddy near the bed, "is cookies. He's sleeping now. You'll have to say hello in the morning. That one is Tinnee... because he's so small."

"I see. Who named them?"

"I did. But I didn't name Mr. Combs. He's a guard. Uncle beta named him. He said my daddy will name this one when he's not busy," he points at the burly-looking golden bear near the foot of the bed.

"He's a woweeyor, and only daddy can give him a name. That's what uncle beta said. Not all of them have names yet. Would you like to give a name?"

"Of course, sweetheart. But I need time to think of a good one for..." I pointed at the second one at the foot of the bed, "this over here."

Alex grinned as I kissed his forehead.

"C'mon. Get back to sleep. You have school tomorrow." I started to tuck him in.

Minutes later, I kissed my son good night and left for my room.

It was clear what Nick was doing. He was making the place a home for the child. That way, little Alex would never want to leave. Unless, of course, to another place that looked similar. It would've been a good thing if our situation was different.

Cassie White

One of the reasons Cassie looked forward to becoming Nick's Luna was the private jets. She would never have to endure travelling with the general public ever again once they got mated.

It took three whole hours for her flight to touch down at the airport. After that, she had to take another twenty minutes cab ride into the town where Nick's park would be.

She was sure that the alpha had arrived here at least ONE hour ago on Reign's private jet.

The most important thing was the fact that she had arrived and was now close to her soon-to-be mate.

"There are a few guest inns and lodge around, Miss. You can walk in without making a reservation," the Uber driver told her.

"Take me to the resort," she said simply.

"Alrighty," he replied, swerving into the larger, deserted road.

The road was flanked by what looked like forests on either side. But as a werewolf, Cassie knew these weren't all that densed. Though it proved she really was in the countryside.

How would Nick feel if she called him now to announce her arrival? What would he say?

She didn't let herself dwell on the thought that he might not like this.

Soon, the cab drove into the resort. It was much more elegant than she imagined. Quickly, she paid the driver and got out of the car. There were three separate buildings inside the resort. But it was clear where Nick and his wolves were lodging.

Cassie felt right at home as she walked into the vast grand lobby of the tallest building with the penthouse.

Soon, she would be managing all of this. The thought made her smile.

As she approached the counter, her senses caught something that made her halt. A rogue? She turned to find the security guard watching ber.

"You over there, excuse me for a moment," she called out to him. He looked familiar.

As he came close, she did a thorough assessment. He wasn't really a rogue, but he was a rogue, she decided.

"Yes, Miss. How may I help you?" He asked respectfully.

"What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here," she was direct.

"And you are?" He asked.

"The owner of this place," she replied.

When he raised his brow, she added, "I will be. Soon. I'm from Los Angeles, here to see the alpha. My name is Cassie... White."

The male's manner changed. His eye widened slightly as he lowered his head in submission. She was right. He was a rogue. The same group her father dealt with some time ago. en

"How are you here?" She asked him.

"I serve the Forest Moon now, Miss White," he replied. "I've left my old ways behind."

Cassie couldn't help but smile. Following Nick to this town was the right move.

"A few moons from now, I will be Luna of the pack. So you serve me, too, Bronco, is it?" she asked.

He frowned before saying, "I don't go by that name anymore. Also... the one who would be Forest Moon's young Luna... is upstairs!"
