After a one-night stand I had three kids novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159

I’m a little stunned at the moment. All I can do is stare up at him because holy shit. What is even happening right now? Never in my entire career of being obsessed with this guy could I have ever guessed that he would get hotter than he already is, but here we are. Lately, I catch myself just staring at him, and I know he knows because he never stops smiling. Cheeky fuck.

“Okay, the second option it is,” he grins.

“No,” I stop him from coming down. “Just give me a second.”

I take a deep breath and stare up at him a little longer, just taking in the scene. When I get my stupid heart to stop racing, I finally take the steps one at a time. When I’m standing toe–to–toe with him, he smiles and offers me the roses.

“Hi,” he says softly.

“Hey,” I take them. “These are beautiful. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. Are you hungry?”

“Very.” I nod, and on cue, my stomach lets out a loud growl.

“We’re celebrating.”

“What are we celebrating?” I ask when he sits.

“A few things actually.” he takes a drink of his wine and turns to look at me.

I’ve never felt the intensity of his gaze like I do now. I can always tell when he’s looking at me, but right now, I feel the warmth of it, and it’s a bit unsettling. I don’t know why I feel like prey all of a sudden.

“You’re making me nervous.” I laugh nervously. I reach for the wine and take a drink

“It was approved,” he clears his throat.

“I’m sorry? What was?”

“Your alliance settlement. Savage approved it this morning, and your pack will be the first to participate. He even met my budget price for the construction of the villas where our rogues will be staying.

“Allison held a meeting this morning and proposed it to the pack elders. Because they want you to start feeling more at home, they all agreed to it. They want you to know that they want to welcome you home any way they can.”

“You already pitched it?” I ask, not understanding. “When?”

“I didn’t have to. I sent a copy to your brother when we got home after the event. He loved the reaction everyone had to our debut and even laughed at our hit at his media team. He asked me if I was the one who had written it, and I told him that it was all you that we would be presenting it together at the

“I think it happened so fast because it’s your first bill as the Rogue Queen, and they wanted to see what you had. There were a handful of nays on behalf of both wolf chairmen boards, but not enough for it to be considered void.”
