Nanny and the Alpha Daddy

#Chapter 144: Good Mom

Moana

As I watched Mia walk away, there was a smile on my face. I liked her; she was so much nicer and warmer than Kelly, and I loved meeting Edrick’s old friends so that I could get a bit more of an insight on the way that the Alpha billionaire used to be as a kid. And it made me happy to hear that he used to be rambunctious and full of life, because I could see those little bits of his personality poking through his hard exterior more and more lately. Someday, I wondered if I could break down his hard shell entirely. I wanted to know the true Edrick.

But when I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to see my ex-boyfriend, Sam, standing behind me, my smile faded.

“Hey, Moana,” he said before I could even say anything. He folded his arms across his chest and looked me up and down, his eyes lingering on my belly for a few moments. “Remember me?”

Of course I remembered Sam. Lately, I had been so busy with everything going on that I hadn’t thought much about what he did to me, but seeing his face made it all come back so fast that it felt as though I had been hit by a train.

Just a few months earlier, Sam and I had been dating. I really thought that he was the one, up until I found him sucking on another woman’s lips in the window of a fancy restaurant. And when I confronted him about it, he didn’t even show any remorse. All he cared about was getting his high-paying job at WereCorp, which his new girlfriend helped him get, and he didn’t care that I had been by his side as a constant and loving support system for years. I had helped him get through college. I had helped him gain his confidence. And I supposed, by extension, I had given him the confidence to cheat on me.

I was quickly learning that those coincidences may have happened because there was a chance that Edrick and I were fated mates. Someday, Sam would find out that I really was a werewolf, and I wished that I could see the look on his face when that happened. After everything that he said to me, how I should have felt lucky that a werewolf would even give a human like me the time of day, I hoped that he would feel like a

and I felt my heart drop. My eyes widened as I looked around frantically, praying that no one had heard him say that. I supposed from the beginning, as soon as Edrick made his announcement on TV, that people would eventually learn the truth about Ella; but I didn’t want it to be today, and I didn’t want it to be Sam’s doing. I couldn’t
