Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 56: The Last Diamond
ZEKE Downstairs, Drusila and Aiden are waiting for me in the living room. I walk in and the look on their face tells me there's more trouble ahead. Aiden still can't look me in the eye. I ignore him and settle into an armchair. Drusila's dressed in boots, jeans, and a flannel shirt. It's not her usual style, so it makes me curious. "I've got news, Alpha Zeke," Drusila says, crossing her arms. "It's always bad." I sigh, patting down on the arm. "Hit me." "Kyra and I got a hold of police reports. It's says all the culprits had a piece of jewelry on them and one story, which was; they don't know how it happened. They can't remember ambushing the Burns café and tossing rotten food at the girl." "Please tell me you got a sample for Taz." I ease back on the headrest, shutting my eyes for a moment. I didn't see any of this coming. Diana Aveyard is a twenty-first century world-wide sensation. I expected that from her fans, though it was too extreme. Now the culprits want us to believe
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 57: The Wrong Woman
MARE The sound was loud enough to reach far and wide. It sounded like an explosion and in the next minute, sirens followed. Someone was injured. I know Zeke stepped out a while ago, and I had been with Drusila in the kitchen the entire time. She informed me about the Diamond witches. They were back for me so soon. "A deal is a deal. Your father has no right to go back on his word." I hold my stomach, thinking about Thorin. My baby. I have grown to love this child I've never seen more than anything. Zeke said all those things about my father and Chase, and I spent time in my room thinking about everything. I would have never thought he would sell me, but he did. What makes me so sure he won't kill my baby to get what he wants? "Seven months is all the Alpha needs. Do not cause anymore trouble for him," Drusila says again. I ask. "What do you think is going on out there?" "An accident, maybe." I stare out the window for a second. The sky darkens as night draws near. It leaves me
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 58: A Legacy's Downfall
I freeze above him, completely paralysed with shock and shame. He's looking at me with tender eyes and I realise it's not for me. All this time, it's been Scarlett, only her. I untangle myself from him as I catch the tear that escaped with the back of my hand. He calls after me, but I don't respond because he's calling her."Where are you going?" He says again and I'm grateful he doesn't follow.The door slams behind me, and I fall against it, clutching my heart and feeling so stupid. What was I thinking? He's my captor. The man who only needs me for his heir. A cruel but beautiful man bearing so much pain. How could I let myself feel as he kissed me?He warned me. He said it was like an addiction. Even after burying my heart in the dust underneath his shoes, I still want to return to his room and have him look at me the way he looks at her. Hold me the way he holds her and kiss me...I've wanted all of this since that night in that bathroom, but I've tried so hard to ignore it. Now I'
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 59: Manipulating My Baby Daddy
"Monitor him and inform me first of any changes." He drops his voice as he says, "Let's keep this between us." I nod, even while dying of anxiety. Zeke is safe. I remind myself because I can see he is, but no one knows if he will survive this. I shake the thought away, reminding myself he's a legacy once again. Zeke will overcome this. He has to. When Taz leaves, I watch him for a few long moments, lost on what to do. He's fallen into a comatose state again. According to Taz, he isn't conscious, but I can't shake the feeling he's aware I'm standing right next to his bed, gawking. Zeke didn't desire a mate because Scarlett Burns is the only woman he will ever love. It's crazy as hell, but I can feel his pain and also see it. I wonder what truly happened. Frida warned I shouldn't look too far in, but it's something I can't wrap my head around. Did he murder the same woman he can't stop thinking about? Zeke Van Acker shed tears while kissing me. All for Scarlett, a woman I know nothi
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 60: The Thin Line Between Love And Hate
I crack my eyes open. The room is dark. The blinds are rolled closed, but I can hear the new day loud and clear. I realise I'm lying over and straddling something warm and hard. It's Zeke's body. Somehow, I had cuddled close to him during the night. After a moment of watching his handsome face, his eyes pop open. I understand he's been awake for a while now. Nerves parch my throat. "Hey, how long have you been up?" Zeke doesn't respond, and I frown. His hands have been around my waist since I woke up. He doesn't remove them and I suspect he still thinks I'm Scarlett. It annoys me slightly, but I suppress that selfish feeling and try again. "Zeke?" I place a palm over his forehead. Even though a wolf can't run a temperature, I still try my best to make sure he's good. "How are you doing this morning?" "You are here with me. That alone makes me the luckiest man alive," he says, sitting up and pulling me close. His hand brushes the fallen strands away from my eyes, tucking them be

I return to the kitchen, fuming. Drusila eyes me strangely when I drop the tray in the sink and it clatters against it. Zeke stops by before he leaves. He doesn't look at me. I don't look at him, either. I focus on my carrots, eating a little too loudly as they speak. Zeke says, "Aiden's tailing Bessie. He'll bring news about the witches during the pack gathering tonight." "Tonight?" Drusila asks. I hear the surprise in her voice. This is something she's not aware of or expecting. I'm not updated on this piece of information, either. A lot I do not know about has happened behind my back, but then, I'm not a Moon Grove wolf. I'm just here to deliver a child and nothing more. "Yes. Tonight, my new beta will be chosen during the gathering. We will also discuss Moon Wood now the Zeta has arrived." I can feel his gaze on me, but I don't break. I focus on the carrot, like I can't care less about his presence or their conversation. Hearing Moon Wood, my interest piques a bit, but so a
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 62: Family Reunion II
I stagger away from the shelf. My nerves get the best of me and I drop the detergent on the floor. It lands with a loud thump, shocking me and increasing my heart's pace. I don't know how else to react, but everything in me is telling me to run, but I'm frozen to a spot. Zeke's words come back to me. He's danger. Chase sent my father to kill my baby. He sold me without a second thought to two Alphas. I should tread carefully. He comes around to where I'm standing. I pick the dishwasher detergent and tighten my grip on it, like it's my life support. He looks so different. He's grown a lot older and has streaks of grey hair showing amid his black beards. As much as I want to fear him, he's my father. The man who raised me. My heart thinks differently after a few minutes. "Father." I whisper, barely breathing. He's dressed differently, too. I guess being on this side of the map changes things. I try my hardest to stay strong, but the emotions I feel are overwhelming. My father steps
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 63: Black Diamond
**********************ZEKEThe day's not over yet, but I'm stuck at a bar, drinking many glasses of hennessy and pondering on thoughts that are way past me. I'm seated at a private booth in the popular bar and the days ahead are looking bleak. I don't have the strength to stand. She's all I can think about. Chase Erickson almost got the best of me with that plan he made up. I vowed to get back at him for the humiliation and the pain. Red Valley earned a slot on my vengeance list. But Marelyn is someone I will never give up. I may have told her and everyone else seven months was all I needed, but I don't think that's possible. I don't even know why it's not. It's just not. I down another glass and start pouring the next. The bottle has almost run dry. My tie hangs loosely around my neck, and all I want to do is forget. Forget that the past two days happened, but I can remember every little detail. Her soft skin against mine felt like heaven and I was
