Shattered by the Alpha Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 120

Chapter106

I scrunched up my face, the perplexity coming out loud “This defies all logic, Deckard, “I pressed on. “You and Sophie have a child together – how can you claim there was never anything between you?” My eyes narrowed, suspicion creeping in as I wondered if I was the one losing my grip on reality.

His gaze held mine, unwavering and defeated as he spoke “Because, There’s a story behind it, a truth,” he addressed sharply. I realized we were venturing into uncharted territory. The main issue still lingered, but this detout felt strangely essential. It dawned on me that even the closest of friendships can fray with distance, leaving behind a gull that’s impossible to bridge, no matter how hard you try.

“I am not Jovi’s biological father,” he declared, his announcement laden with emotional burden. The words dropped like gigantic hall balls leaving me stunned and disbelieving. My eyes stretched wide, expression frozen on my face as I struggled to process the revelation. I blinked, a delayed reflex, as if to shake off the haze and confirm that this surreal conversation was, in fact, unfolding before me.

“You…you’re not Jovi’s?” I stuttered, as I struggled to wrap my head around the news. I shook my head, my eyes narrowing to slits as I pinned him with a piercing gaze, with shock, confusion, and hurt swirling inside me. A faint pang of disappointment settled in, a gentle hum of hurt that he’d kept this secret from me, but it was tempered by my concern for the truth behind his words.

His hands enveloped mine, warm and gentle, as he inched closer, his eyes pleading for understanding, “Please, just trust me, let me Jexplain everything.” he pleaded gently, with desperation, the words tumbling out in a heartfelt beg. The depth of emotion in his eyes, the panic and pain that clouded their usual brightness, tugged at my heartstrings, and I felt my mini hardened anger soften.

My words flawed gently, trying to be as reassuring as he is. “I trust you more than anyone, Deckard, and that’s why I’m bothered why you hid such a huge thing,” I said reassuringly, whilst bringing my concern to light, I squeezed his hands, offering a physical manifestation of my unwavering trust.

Another weary sigh escaped his lips as he began to explain went on one date with Sophie because my mother kept insisting,” he scoffed with a hint of frustration. “I already knew it was a bad idea, but Sophie seemed to think we could be a good match. I didn’t.” He paused, his eyes locking onto mine with an pinning intensity that made holds my heartbeats captive for a good six seconds.

“The only person I want is is you,” he emphasized, his voice intentionally urgent, as if his sanity depended on my understanding of that one, crucial fact and I forget to breath for a second.

I was bursting with aching curiosity and mind–blowing questions, my thoughts racing with unsettling possibilities. The idea that he might have had a one–night stand was particularly disturbing, as it seemed so out of character for him. Deckard wasn’t reckless or impulsive, or sot thought–had he been drunk and let his guard down?

“It was just one dinner date, and I made it crystal clear to her that my heart belongs to someone else,” he declared, his voice steadily assured. “I told her I could never feel the same way about anyone else, that I could never want to be with anyone but that woman,” His gaze locked onto mine, shinning with a glint unlike I’ve ever seen before as if everything depended on me believing him.

“She got the message and we never met again, she was leaving city anyway,” his words tumbling out in a rush, as if he was eager to reassure me. “However, I did run into her once more at a bar in Montana a few months later where a friend was celebrating his engagement. She said hello, and I nodded in response. That was the extent of it.”

His explanation was laced with a hint of defensiveness, his eyes locking onto mine, that seemed to plead for understanding. As he spoke, my heart, battered and bruised, stirred awake, its eyes slowly opening to gaze at this man who stood before me.

“Later, I found her stumbling outside the bar, completely intoxicated,” he continued his shoulders sagging with regret.

“I asked around to see if anyone was with her, but she was alone. She’s my mother’s friend’s daughter, and the thought of something happening to her and me not doing anything to help….I couldn’t live with that. So, I offered to drive her home, but she was too drunk to tell me where to take her. She just kept mumbling Incoherently,” he sighed, his eyos clouding over with frustration.

“I made the mistake of taking her to my place, and…that’s where everything went wrong” His words came out biting, like it infuriated him, and my heart seemed to be stilled in the moment with anticipation. I couldn’t quite put my finger on why it affected me so deeply was it the thought of him with someone else, or the fact that this one night stand thing had turned my life upside down? My heart refused to believe that Deckard would do something like that, but the doubt lingered.

“Nothing happened,” he reiterated, with urgent desperation. “The next morning, she thanked me and left after breakfast. Everyone Chapter100
