Shattered by the Alpha Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 102

Chapter88

Just as I was measuring out the coffee grounds, my phone buzzed with an incoming text from Xaviera. I smiled as I read her message, feeling a warmth in my heart.

Hey hon, how’re you doing. I am sorry I didn’t come to see you, it’s been a hectic week. But I’ll come visit tonight, and I will bring

dinner.”

I felt grateful for having such an amazing friend knowing that she had been busy, but was still making time for me. I quickly typed out a response, looking forward to seeing her tomorrow,

I am great, how’re ya? And can we do the dinner tomorrow. Deckard and I are going to the movie tonight‘ I sent a quick response to Xaviera, and she replied almost immediately.

‘Deckard? As in Deckard Holston? What is he doing there?”

Her text was filled with surprise, and I couldn’t help but laugh at her reaction.

I texted back, filling her in on the details.

‘Duh, actually, I called him because I had that ‘talk‘ with Keith and I felt so exhausted and sad, and he kinda took it seriously and flew here. As I typed out the words, I realized just how surprising it was. In this day and age, who drops everything to fly across the country to confort a friend? It was a reminder of the kind of person Deckard was loyal, caring, and always there for those he loved.

Xaviera’s response popped up on my screen, accompanied by a dizzy emoji and a winking face.”

“Wow, these Holston men are crazy, I’m telling ya!‘ I rolled my eyes, chucking at her dramatic flair.

1 quickly typed out a response as my coffee was done Okay, I’ll text you tomorrow, see ya later, gotta go.” I hit send and turned to

Deckard.

I walked over to him he was lounging on the couch, laptop open in front of him as he chatted on the phone. I smiled as I handed him a steaming cup of coffee, accompanied by a plate of gourmet cookies that I knew were his weakness. His eyes lit up as he took the offerings, and he mouthed “you’re the best Hamsty” at me, his lips curling up into a warm smile.

As I settled into the corner of the couch, I couldn’t help but overhear the conversation Deckard was having on the phone. The voice on the other end was unmistakable – it was Hendrix. I listened quietly, intrigued by the conversation, as he continued to chat with his brother, his expression often turning slightly annoyed.

As soon as Deckard ended the call with his brother, he let out a deep groan,

“Fuck! Sometimes I wonder why I work with my brother,” stretching his arms overhead and snapping his neck to release the tension He finally took a sip of the coffee I had handed him, and his eyes closed in raptureas he savored the flavor.

“This is great, Karry,” he praised, his voice filled with sincerity. “I think you should be declared the Coffee Queen.” He opened his eyes, looking at me with a completely serious expression, then chuckled and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes playtully. It was moments like these that made me appreciate him.

I raised an eyebrow, concern filling.my mind “Is everything alright at work? Maybe you should go-“I began to suggest, but Deckard cut me off mid–sentence, his expression reassuring

“Everything is great,” he ensured, excitement creeping into his voice. “We’re actually buying a new piece of land in Missouri. That’s what Hendrix wanted to discuss.” A wide smile spread across his face, and I couldn’t help but mirror it, feeling prideful.

“That’s great, another ranch to the list,” I exclaimed, my eyes shining with genuine excitement for him. Deckard’s face lit up with a warm smile, and for a fleeting moment, that familiar glint sparked in his eyes, radiating a indecipherable look. Unlike the look I’d grown accustomed to over the years.

As we walked through conversation, I found myself enthralled by the stories of his family and Jovi. His eyes sparkled with warm affection as he shared tales of their quirks and adventures, and I couldn’t help but be swept up in the joy and laughter that radiated rom him. As we talked. I realized, just how much I adored conversing with him – the way our words blend and balance together, the ease with which we laughed and shared stories. It was as if our conversations were a effortlessly smooth.
