Alpha Nicholas’s Little Mate 

Chapter 202 

I had no choice!” He suddenly bellows. I raise one single eyebrow at his blatant disrespect but don’t miss the way his shoulders rise and fall as he takes deep breaths, seemingly trying to calm himself down while his eyes show nothing but raw pain and fear. What the hell is going on here? I’m not saying I believe him, but I do believe that there’s possibly more going on here than I first realized. “Bullshit!” Robbie growls as he leans against the wall, but one 

look from me silences him even if he’s not happy about it. 

*Please, give me a chance to explain, please!” Alberto pleads. I let out a hard sigh as Storm starts stomping around in my head once more, and I feel completely torn in two. “Why should I?” 

“I have been in this pack since the day that I was born. Both of my parents were warriors for your parents. My dad is now a warrior for you. My family has always been loyal to your family and this pack. I would never do anything to intentionally harm anyone here. I’ve always shown my loyalty, so please all I ask is just a few minutes to talk, and then you can do whatever it is you need to do. 

He’s right. Every goddam word he says is right and that only pisses me off more. It only makes the burn of his betrayal sting just that little bit harder. “You have five minutes,” He lets out a puff of breath and nods his head showing gratitude. “Is there any point to this? We all know what he did!” Robbie shouts, getting louder with every word. If he weren’t my brother and having the day that he is, I would knock him the fuck out right now for how he’s speaking out of turn and against my word. 

“Robbie, cool it, brother. I understand that you are frustrated and want this done so that you can get back to Aria, but we need as much information as we can to help keep her safe. And if truth be told, I am interested to hear what he’s got to say. The Alberto we know… Fuck, I can’t imagine him doing this. It doesn’t make sense and I want to make sure that we have all the facts before we go and do something that we can’t take back.” 

“Fuck, I hate it when you are right,” He grunts over our link. “You must hate me all the time then.” My words have the desired effect as he struggles to hold back a grin. “Grab a chair, come sit over here with me. You can watch him up close and help keep your wolf a little calmer while also helping me take in everything he says.” 

‘Isn’t that Shane’s job?” 

“Usually yes, but today I want your help. This is personal to you and Shane will understand. Besides, we both know that he will still be taking notes no matter where he’s standing.” He scoffs out loud before heading for the stack of chairs and quickly getting comfy next to me. He looks at me and I give him a nod, silently permitting him to get this started, and he does just that. 

‘Ok, Alberto. “It’s time that you start talking and, for your sake, you had better make this good and I want nothing but the truth.” Alberto nods, then takes a deep breath and his first four words are enough to knock the wind right out of me. 

“They have my mate.”
