A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret)

"He needs to see my father first!" she replied.

I was going to protest, but Alex yelled,

"Gwanpa, gwanpa!"

"You know I never stopped Sebastian from visiting his grandson, Sara."Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"It's your house," she seethed. "He detests you! So no. He won't visit."

"You need to watch your tone, or there'll be no daddy time for you, Sara. Want me to drive straight to the school?" The car went silent and remained so except for Alex's commentary and questions. Soon, we got to the food truck.

Sebastian James would murder me if he could. Sara's words were an understatement. He didn't just detest me. He wished I'd die a horrible death. And soon. I was the dishonourable wolf that got his precious daughter pregnant and left her. As a male, I knew for a fact that these were his thoughts. Too bad he couldn't do anything about it. I doubt he knew the full story.

I waited in the car as Sara and Alex went to meet him inside the truck. His feelings towards me were his business. We could both avoid each other as long as he didn't cause any trouble, such as running away with my girl and child. F*ck! The girl, not my girl.

His eyes were on me now. They were hard with hatred. He used to adore me. Young alpha was how he addressed me with so much affection. I pushed these thoughts of the past aside and continued to wait for the two.

If he were still a member of the Forest Moon, he'd be obligated to bow in greeting. I can't expect any courtesy now.

Ten minutes later, we were on our way to the school, only a few miles away.

We reached there and walked through the gate with Alex's little hand in mine. Sara walked beside me, leading the way to the director's office. I could hear whispers from all around us. Only a blind man would look at the child and I and not know that I was his father. My heart swelled with pride. I was bringing my son to school for the first time. It didn't matter that this wasn't his first day.

I tried to scan Sara's emotions. It was a mix of colours, dull and bright. There was anger, but it was overshadowed by all kinds of feelings. The fact that I still pick up these things was worrying yet comforting.

Was she happy having me here? I would never know for sure. At that moment, I felt a deep longing for the bond we once shared.

I used to know exactly how she felt when we were bonded. Now, all I get are vague, surface emotions or the ones she wished me to know.

Although my senses are telling me that she didn't mind having these teachers see Alex's father.

The director was elated that the child's father came all the way to his school today. It was great for the little boy, she said.

Once we finished in the office, Alex went into class, and Sara and I started to walk towards the car.

"I'll get a cab -"

"No. Get in!" I snapped. "Nothing wrong with me taking you to work."

As I held the door open, waiting, she looked about before hopping into the passenger side. It was more from avoiding the attention we now attracted. Another round of silence ensued as we rode to her workplace. As soon as I pulled into the council's driveway, she started to unhook her seat belt.

I reached for an envelope and handed it to her.

"Don't you get tired of this shit!" She barked.

"Jake must be sick of drafting all these silly contracts now. I'm not signing ANYTHING else. I already signed one. It's not my fault you tore it to shreds!"

"But it is, Sweets! You showed it to outsiders Look. This one's

amended. It ensures you never bring a strange male scent near our child ever again." I held out the envelope tober. en

She reached for it and started to retrieve her pen from her bag.

For some odd reason, I was alarmed that she was going to sign it without much of a fight. My heart started to sink slowly as she scribbled on the document with her pen.

Once she was done, she dropped it on my thighs and started to leave the car.

Unblinking, my eyes moved to where her signature should be.

In her neat handwriting, she wrote: "Kiss my ass!"

I stared at the words, distracted by the images they conjured up in my head. What did these three words mean to her?

I spoke before I knew I had opened my mouth.

"But are you serious? You really want me to do this?"

When I lifted my gaze, she was shaking her head in exasperation as she slammed the door shut. I got out of the car. "Sara -"

"I'll see you very soon, Dick Reign!" She said.

Those words were more confusing than the one she wrote. Not the dick part, of course. I simply stared as she turned around and headed into her workplace.

Three hours later, I was in my study,

staring at her handwriting and wondering what she meant by "See you very soon." Jake walked in with a deep, worried frown, a freshly torn envelope in his left hand.

"Nick, you're being charged to court," he said. "By a FEDERAL AGENCY!"
