All Chapters of Tempting My Alpha Daddy : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

{~Nathaniel Cross~}Eyes seemed to follow me as I discussed the recent problems we were facing in the pack, and which areas of change we needed to make in order for things to change. Normally, I wouldn't feel anxious, but today I feel like they have a good reason, and it has nothing to do with the words coming out of my mouth. Exhaling, I finished up my topic with a final overview of everything I've said. With all that done, I waited for questions or some pushback, but instead I was met with stares and silence. My brothers stared the hardest, like they were trying to see through my skin.I cleared my throat, the noise echoed just as I hoped, and suddenly they seemed to realize that I was staring back at them. “Oh, you're done,” Dallo spoke, balancing around for something. I brought my hands towards my chest and folded them there.“That's all you have to say? Were any of you paying attention to a word I was saying?”The guilty look was all the answers I needed. “A lot has been ha

{~Nathaniel Cross~}It took me a while to convince my family that I wasn't hiding anything. That I was happy and feeling lighter for a different reason. They didn't think I was having an affair. Why would they? For years, they've been asking me to find someone on the side, and even Margaret suggested I fuck someone to get my needs. I've turned all of them down. Sure, it's messed up that after all of that, I ended up still cheating, but with somebody far worse than a random omega. I went back to work, trying to clear my head and applying another scent patch during my break. For our scents to fully unmix, I'd have to go a whole day without being physical with Cherry. Hugging is fine, but anything that spikes my blood and causes my beast to release sexual pheromones would only keep our scents mixed. I worked well into the night. Checking out the accountant's reports of my family's spending, as well as the other family, to ensure no one was going over budget or stealing money for pers

{~Cherry Reed~}I know I've said this a million times, I'm practically like a broken record, but I mean it this time. I'm not just saying it because I'm full of regrets. I'm quitting drugs. This time. This is the last time. I swear I didn't know it would end like this. Nathaniel put me in the bathtub. I haven't vomited, but I've been feeling unwell. Like my stomach is shrinking, and it hurts. It hurts a lot. The cold tub is helping, I'm not sure why, but it is. Nathaniel watches me, eyes casting over my form with disappointment. This was not my intention. I wanted… to tease him, but I can barely think straight. Everything just seems so light. My brain is telling me everything is going to be okay, my heart is racing, and my stomach is suffering the most. I'm feeling so many things at once. Without the pain, I'd be relaxed, sleepy, and chill. That burrito was nice. I think mom and I talked about Nathaniel being really handsome. Or something like that. I'm not really sure. “You

{~Cherry Reed~}I'm used to Aeron's scrutiny. The man tried to set me up with one of his awful, awful sons, and he's definitely not the biggest fan of my attitude. Like, I'm the problem here. My head feels like it suddenly weighs a ton. I barely remember anything I said the night before. It's like I was operating in a different world. I can remember some of the things I saw. From faces to the taste of certain things. I have no clue what some of them mean in context. That's my fault. I shouldn't have gone to Hannah's party. I can't believe I thought it was a good idea. The levels I go to just to delude myself are actually fucking crazy. “Nathaniel said you were extremely thirsty the night before.”“I don't remember drinking water at all. I remember drinking two beers. I think it was two, I can only recall the taste of beer.” I answered truthfully.He hummed. “We should bring you to a hospital. I can't do my regular check-ins here. There are drugs involved.”There are always drugs i

{~Cherry Reed~}“You're not taking it back?”“No.” He looked at me like I was the crazy one. “You have that effect on me, Cheryln. Since knowing you, I feel like I've developed a personality disorder.”I gasped, the shock of his words having more effect than I thought it would. “Before you get offended, really think about what you've put me through.”I sealed my mouth; of course, I know he's right. But that doesn't mean he has to be honest about it. He's supposed to lie to me. Doesn't this man know how to keep a mistress happy? “Fine, I'm not upset. You'll die before I do, remember I'll spit on your grave.” I harrumphed, spun around, and went into the pantry to grab some snacks. Nathaniel was still in the same spot when I came out with my arms full of delicious treats and snacks. “What are you doing?”I contemplated whether to answer politely or not. Then I decided there was nothing to gain by being a bitch this late evening. “I'm getting snacks for Red and me.” He stepped close
