All Chapters of Contracted To The Single Daddy Alpha: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

FreyaI tucked Lily into bed and pulled the blanket up to her chin. She held her favorite stuffed rabbit tight to her chest. I sat on the edge of the bed next to her.“Mommy, can you read me a story?” she asked.“Of course, baby,” I said. I reached over and picked up the old fairy tale book from the nightstand. I flipped through the pages and found one of her favorites. It was a story about a brave princess and a kind prince who fight hard to be together.I started to read. Lily listened very carefully. Her small fingers moved over the pictures in the book. When I got to the part where the prince saved the princess from the tower, Lily let out a happy little sigh.“Do you think they will get married and live happily ever after?” she asked. She tilted her head back to look up at me.I smiled. “Well, that is how the story goes, right?”She nodded. Then she was quiet for a moment. She tapped her chin, thinking. “Will you and Daddy get married like them?” she asked.My heart jumped. She h

FreyaI wiped sweat from my head as the sun went lower in the sky. It sent golden light across the ballroom floor. We had been doing this for hours. And still, the feather kept falling to the ground like a small, annoying bird.“Again,” Valerie said in a sharp voice, tapping her foot on the floor.I let out a long breath and picked up the feather one more time. “This is impossible,” I said quietly to myself.Adrian raised one eyebrow. “Giving up so soon?”I looked at him with tired eyes. “Not everyone is naturally good at moving.”“I seem to remember you dancing quite well at the Mate Trial,” he said in a calm voice.“That was different,” I said back. “There was no feather then.”And we had not just kissed like our lives depended on it either, I thought. But I did not say that out loud. At the Mate Trial, my only goal was to make enough money to keep looking for my missing daughter. That was still my goal now, since it turned out that Lily was not my child.But now there were other th

FreyaThe next morning, I stood outside Adrian’s office door. I took a long, slow breath. Then I knocked softly.The sound of talking stopped. His deep voice came from inside. “Come in.”I pushed the door open. He was sitting behind his big wooden desk. There were papers all over the place. He looked up at me. A little surprise showed on his face. I never came to his office like this, not during work hours. “Freya, is everything okay?”“Yes,” I said, walking in. “I wanted to take some personal time today. I thought I could go to the mall. Do some shopping.”He raised one eyebrow. “Shopping?”I nodded. “Yes. I need a few things. And I just want to get out of the house for a bit.”Adrian leaned back in his chair. He thought for a moment. “Of course. Take all the time you need. I will have the driver take you.”“Thank you,” I said. I felt relieved. “I really appreciate it.”“Enjoy your day,” he said, giving me a small smile.I turned to leave. Then I stopped. “Actually, would it be okay

Freya Later that day, I walked with Adrian through the long hallways of the pack’s main building again. I had to walk fast to keep up with him. My heels made loud clicking sounds on the shiny floor. “Today, I want you to come with me to a few meetings,” Adrian said, looking over at me. “It will help you learn how things work around here.” I nodded, holding the notebook he had given me earlier. “I will do my best.” “Just write things down for now,” he said, pushing open a glass door for me. “You do not have to understand everything right away.” We walked into a big meeting room. A long brown table sat in the middle. Tall chairs were lined up on both sides, and a large screen hung on the wall. We sat down, and the heads of different departments began to come in one by one. They gave small nods or quiet greetings as they took their seats. The first few meetings were simple enough. People talked about patrol routes, how to use their resources, and events that were coming up soon. I w

FreyaThe day of the charity gala had finally come. I stood in front of the mirror, fixing the strap of my gown for what felt like the hundredth time. It was a beautiful dress, gold and shiny, fitting my body perfectly. But I could not stop the wave of nerves that kept washing over me.This was not just any party. It was a gathering of the most powerful Alphas and Lunas in the whole region. The stakes were high, and I was about to step into a world I barely knew.Lily sat on the bed behind me, swinging her little legs back and forth.“You look like a princess, Mommy,” she said. Her eyes were wide and full of wonder as she looked at me in the gown.I smiled and tried to hide how nervous I was.“Thank you, sweetheart. But princesses do not get nervous, do they?”Lily giggled and shook her head. “Nope! And you are the bravest princess ever.”Her words made me feel a little better. I leaned down and kissed her forehead. “You are going to have so much fun with the other kids at the gala, r
