A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret)

Megan Deere

As Meg and Luna Reign drove down from the helipad, Meg already prepared herself mentally to be near Nick. They were in Orphic now and have just entered his resort. She decided that the town is as pathetic as the Luna described. It was a little too laid-back for a city she-wolf like herself.

Although, this opinion didn't apply to Rain resort. To her, the place feels like a wonderland in a boondocks even from the outside. It was easy to guess that the proposed park would be connected to it. The lobby is as elegant as it should be and not as scanty as she expected. But then, this type of getaway couldn't be meant for people of this town. It's the type of city people with deep pockets come to unwind.

One of the security guards recognized the Luna on sight and was now leading them up the private elevator.

"Does he know you're coming? I'm only asking because he's out of town for a meeting. He may return to L.A instead of here once he's done, Luna!" the guard informed.

Meg thought the male seem a little uncomfortable. Well, he should be. He smelled someone Richard picked up from the wild. A former rogue, maybe.

Did they adopt him into the pack?

"So my surprise visit is a bad move, huh? Is that what you're saying?" the luna asked in a casual, playful tone.

The guard gave a half smile and lowered his head in submission.

"He never did like surprises, so it's not like I didn't know," she added.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Within moments, the swift elevator reached the top-most floor. It gave the familiar soft chime and started to slide open. Beta Jake Carlisle was the first to come into view as they entered the impressive living room.

""Luna Reign?"

He seemed shocked and a little bit discomposed. Meg thought she saw him glare at the guard for a moment.

"Beta, you didn't go with him?" The luna asked.

Another soft chime echoed from the door and Gamma Richard Wolfe appeared. He doesn't look as shocked as his beta.

Meg had zero interest in these two werewolves. One of them was completely aloof with her. And she considered him inferior. The other was a real, cold jerk.

Isn't that why they were Nick's number one and number two. Birds of the same feather and all that.

Jake used to be friendly and chatty with her when they were in college.

But it ended four years ago, after they graduated. How she despised him now. Especially when she

recalled their last one on one

conversation.

'He'll never want you, Megan "Dear." Not even for a one-time lay!' These were his exact words that day. How could he mock her family name like that?

What gave him the right to tell her to back off Nick? Whenever she saw him, his words rang in her head, making her hate him with a passion.

"Gamma Rich, when did you get here?" the Luna asked.

"Last night, Luna. Does the alpha know you'll be here today?" he asked.

Meg decided to leave Nick's mother

and his buddies alone to finish their Q&A session. She moved to take a sit in the comfortable sofa.

Something unusual sat near the net

armrest, making her pause. A stuffed teddy lying on its side. A child's badmington racket also sat near it.

Her eyes inadvertently moved to the beta, and he was watching her with a hint of dread in his eyes. Or maybe that was hatred? She gave him the evil eye and flopped on her ass.

"You're not saying I have to leave, are you?" the Luna's voice was cool as ice as she regarded Richard.

"No, of course not, Luna. I'm just saying that Oak here will take you to a more comfortable suite, and we'll arrange accommodations for Miss Deere," Rich replied. Oak? What the hell kind of name was that? Meg rolled her eyes.

"The housekeeper didn't finish cleaning yet, that's why," Jake quickly added. Meg's eyes shifted to the toys again.

"You let her bring her pups to work?" she asked and the Luna turned to stare at her. With her eyes, she gestured at the toys lying around.

Sighing, Luna Reign said, "I see the place isn't such a place for recess like he claimed. Alright then."
