Nick POV
I clenched my fist as I spoke through gritted teeth.
"It's that damn Megan! Detain her till she tells you all she knows! Then make it so she can't repeat it to any member of the pack!"
"Already did," Richard replied.
"She only knows that Sara is here, and you're both involved. We caught her guys before they reached out to her. Silly human kids trying to make some money. They're never gonna report to her, don't worry. She doesn't know about the little one."
I felt the anger washed over me. What the fuvk was wrong with that girl? I should've asked them to kick her out of the town, not just the resort. I needed to head back there immediately. But taking care of these types of problems was the same reason I had to remain here in the city for the rest of the day.
"Where are they now? Mother and son?" I asked my gamma.
"In her father's house," he replied.
I nodded. "Call me if there's anything else. Megan should be out of there once you're through with her!"
"Yes, Alpha," Rich replied and hung up.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
I immediately dialled Sara's number. She would want to hear from me. Maybe an explanation or something. Her phone rang without an answer.
"Who're you calling?" Jake asked me even though he already knew.
"She'll want some sort of reassurance," I replied absently.
"That's Lindsey's job," he muttered.
Sara didn't pick up. I tried the home number. They were home, so she should answer that call
"Hello," Sebastian's voice. This one would probably hang up once he found out it was me.
"I'd like to talk to Sara," I said simply.
"She's busy," he clipped.
"Could you get her on the phone. I'd like to know they're both okay."
"She can't come to the phone. They're both okay. Will that be all?"
It was more courtesy than I could expect from her father, but I wanted more.
"Give her the phone, Sebastian." I didn't mean to take that tone.
"I'll hang up now, Alpha Reign." And he did.
Jake kept his eyes on his phone. I sat with my phone's receiver still in my tight grip. For some reason, Sara's response when I invited her to dinner replayed in my head. "She's giving me a taste of my own medicine," I muttered. "How petty!" But it stung like hell.
I gently returned my phone's receiver back to its cradle. Jake looked up then averted his gaze.
I was Alpha Nickolas Reign. Leader of the Forest Moon. Head of Reigns Corporations. Los Angeles Most Eligible Bachelor for the second year now. And the most pathetic creature on earth.
Stay for dinner? You owe me one hour? How could I have said those things? She did owe me, though. And I intend to cash in because I was a businessman after all. The worst part was I expected her to agree? After everything that has passed between us.
"You decided to deal with your feelings," Jake said without looking up.
"Focus on son, business, and pack. That's what you said you'd do!"
"And I'm doing that!"
It had been ten days since the dreadful realization that I was not even close to being done with that female. That I would probably never be over her.
"You're doing great. I'm just reminding you, that's all," my beta whispered with his face still on his screen.
I'd flown back to L.A. as soon as I
dropped Alex in school. And I'd spent the rest of the afternoon replaying yesterday in my head. More accurately, I've been imagining how should've behaved and what I should've said instead of stay for dinner.
Sara was still in touch with her lawyers. That meant I was the only one stuck in the past. What she felt for me now was the opposite of that little confession that made me lose my mind.
