All Chapters of The Alpha's Secret Mate : Chapter 31 - Chapter 39

Joanne's povI turned and stepped toward his desk, his attention still fixed on the documents spread before him. The silver frames resting on the bridge of his nose suited him perfectly, though he only wore them when his eyes is fixed on books . Not once had he looked at me wearing them .“My dear,” I began calmly “I find myself increasingly concerned about Kyle. Something about that girl does not sit well with me. It is almost as though she has completely occupied his thoughts.”Without pausing, he continued writing.“Of all the facades at your disposal, you chose one so transparent.”His words made my eyes narrow instantly.“And what exactly are you implying, my dear?” I asked coldly.“You hold no genuine concern for him,” Mason replied as though he were merely stating an obvious fact.My fists clenched at once.“At the very least, I pretend to care,” I shot back sharply. “Unlike you, who avoids your children entirely, as though they are not yours.”The tip of his pen froze in the m

He let out a low growl on hearing his name on my lips, and pulled down my night dress in a swift motion, exposing my undergarments.His large hands kneaded my breasts before undoing the hook of my bra. My breasts spilled out of the unhooked bra, and heat crept up to my face. I was a cup c, so I hoped he loved what he saw . “You're fucking adorable.” He whispered into my ears and rushed to my face. He bent down to plant wet kisses on my cheeks, down to my neck, and my chest till they reached the tip of my breast and slipped it into his mouth. “Uhmmm!” I cried out in pleasure as I felt his tongue circling my nipple while his other hand massaged my second breast. He made his way down my thighs and opened my legs before his fingers tickled the wet spot of my panties. I bit my lower lip as his touch triggered a burning desire within my body . He hooked a finger on my thong before sliding it down my legs , my wet pussy was left bare and unclad in front of him but he didn't move but instead

Our conversation, however, came to an abrupt halt at the sound of an unfamiliar voice."And who exactly is going to take her shopping? You?" The voice belonged to someone leaning against the doorframe, and the moment we both looked up, my breath caught. Of all people — it was Gina. She strolled in as though she owned the place, dragging a chair over and dropping into it across from us. Kyle's jaw tightened visibly. He didn't bother masking his irritation."What are you doing here?"She pierced a chunk of her salad with her fork and answered flatly, "Eating breakfast. Obviously."His eyes narrowed. "I was under the impression you'd joined the breakfast boycott committee."Gina chewed slowly, unbothered. "That's on them. I never agreed to stop having breakfast with everyone." A quiet smile pulled at the corner of my mouth. Honestly, I was glad she had shown up. I'd been carrying a weight of guilt over how Kyle's family seemed to be drifting further from him — and somehow, I felt respons

She raised her brows. "You are so strange. Malls are honestly the best places on earth." She turned and made her way toward the security check. Security check? My hand moved instinctively to the pocket of my coat dress, pressing against the spot where I had hidden my antidepressant bottle. If it were discovered during the screening, Gina would find out without a doubt. Hello? Luana, are you even there? Are you coming?Gina waved me over, nodding in the direction of the security line. A cold sweat broke out across my forehead. The mall's security measures were no small thing — officers were methodically checking every person who entered, going through their belongings with careful attention. Was this place so prominent that it called for such rigorous screening? I managed a thin smile and forced my feet to move. We joined the short queue, and it quickly became clear that this mall catered to a rather affluent crowd.My heart knocked against my ribs like a warning as we shuffled closer

Kyle's brows knit together, irritation flickering across his face. "I was passing by and figured I'd—" he started. Gina cut him off with a lilting voice. "Oh, just passing by? What a stunning coincidence."Kyle's tone dipped into a warning edge as he shot back, "Don't interrupt me while I'm talking." But Gina stayed unbothered, seemingly untouched by his commanding presence — or maybe simply too stubborn to care, and the latter felt closer to the truth. She rolled her eyes and turned toward me. "I'll leave you two be, Luana. Something tells me he didn't come all this way just to say hi. Isn't that right, brother?"Kyle defended himself. "I was coming back from the office." Gina kept needling him. "Ah, the workaholic alpha, slipping out of his office so early. How fascinating."A smile tugged at my mouth as I watched the two of them trade jabs. It struck me as strange, compared to the rest of the family — they bickered like any ordinary brother and sister."Just leave already," Kyle mu
