The Alpha’s Little Rogue

Chapter 86

Chapter 86 Caden’s POV The man on the bed stiffens, the shock on his face taking away the sickly look that has been on his face. since I walked into the room. “What did you just say?” He asks slowly, drawing out each word from his question. “I have a daughter?” I nod, glad that I’ve finally been able to hold his focus. “A daughter that Jude is trying to kill because he doesn’t want her to come in the way of his mission?” “What mission would that be?” He asks dryly and I hold in a groan, knowing that I’ve lost him again. He doesn’t believe a word that’s coming out of my mouth. “He wants to have your pack all to himself, I answer anyway. “Your daughter is the only thing that’s standing in his way.” “All this is absurd. I don’t have a child.” He scoffs, looking at me incredulously. “I never pegged you as the sort of man to make up ridiculous tales to try and get things to go your way.” “You have a daughter and her name is Alessia,” I groan out, trying my best to get through to him. “She’s twenty and is a beautiful woman. Her mother’s name is Yolanda and she deserves to have a father that knows of her existence. Even if it may be too late for them to form a father-and-daughter relationship, I’m going to make him f u c k i n g know of her existence. Whether he’s ready to believe it or not.

“Did you say Yolanda?” He asks, his eyes widening almost comically. I backtrace, going through the words that I’ve blurted out during my speech to see if I’ve made any mention of Alessia mother’s name. “I know a Yolanda. Nobody knew of our relationship. We…spent some time together but that was the last that I heard of her. She packed up and went away without saying anything to me.” He has this faraway look in his eyes as he probably draws back memories of the time that he had with Alessia’s mother. When he turns his gaze back to mine, he has unshed tears welled up in his eyes. “You said she had a daughter?” He asks weakly.

I nod, feeling uncomfortable as I watch the man blink back tears. I wanted him to know of his daughter’s existence not make him shed tears. “I didn’t know she was pregnant. She never told me,” he whispers, more to himself than to me. Again, I’m left to wonder what Alessia’s mother must have been reasoning when she packed up her bags and fled. Did she think that was doing Alessia a favor by separating her from her father or did she do all this for selfish reasons? “Where is she now?” He questions with childlike wonder in his eyes. “Did she come with you?” He looks over at the closed door as though expecting the door to fall open and reveal his missing child. Chapter 86 I shake my head and my heart squeezes at the instant disappointment in his eyes. “She-” I pause, wondering if it’s a good idea to tell him about what has occurred in less than twenty hours. Will he be able to handle knowing that the daughter he just found out existed is on a bed and fighting for her life? “What is it?” He urges, probably noticing my reluctance. “Did something happen to her?” His eyes hold a world of possibilities about what could have happened to the daughter that he hasn’t even had the chance to meet. Putting him out of his misery. I place a hand on his shoulder. “She’s ok, but she had a run-in with an attacker that Jude sent to kill her. She barely escaped with her life. There’s no use sugar-coating the words. He needs to realize just how dire this situation is. “She recovering as we speak.” His eyes hold a world of conflicting emotions- Pain, shock, happiness, anger, and… Doubt. That f u k i n g doubt is still in his eyes. What will it take for him to believe the words that I’m telling him? “I-I just can’t believe that Jude would do something of this nature.” He shakes his head, having an internal face. conflict with himself. “I’ll call him in here and ask him myself. He won’t be able to lie to my If that’s what it will take to make him believe what I’ve been saying then I have no objection. Besides itProperty © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

will be nice to have the ba s t a r d right next to me so that I can have his head as soon as he confesses and admits to his crimes. “Ga m a Henry,” he calls out and the man in question opens the door and pops his head in. He has definitely heard every word that was exchanged between us but to give the man credit, he doesn’t display any emotion. His face is stoic as he stares in the direction of his Alpha. “You called for me?” He asks, stepping into the room. “Get Beta Jude to come in her.” A pause. “Don’t tell him the real reason for my request. Just say that I have something to ask him,” he says and Henry nods, still not giving away any emotion he may be feeling. I applaud the guy for that. Henry steps out of the room, leaving Thomas and I alone again. “If there’s no truth to what you’re saying, you’re going to find yourself on the wrong side of my wrath,” he says darkly, looking the strongest that I’ve seen since I walked into the room. I nod, acknowledging his words and willing to bear what punishment he sees fit to give me if my words. turn out to be false. The door opens a few minutes later and Henry walks in without Jude beside him. He looks over at Thomas anxiously, shifting on his feet. “Alpha, we couldn’t find him and he isn’t answering when we try to mind- link him.” F u c k!
