A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) novel Chapter 37

As expected, the patrol car stopped in front of the local council building. The officer got out of the car as she did. He said something, causing her to give a forced laugh as she waved at him. He followed her to the door, keeping his lustful eyes on her till she entered the building.

Only when she disappeared from sight did he return to his car and made a U-turn back unto the road.

I refused to think he's her boyfriend. It was clear that he wanted to be, though.

As he drove past me, a strangely familiar scent wafted by. I reversed and followed behind him. My phone buzzed. I grabbed it, thinking it would be Sara. It was just a work email.

I realized that I didn't hit the send button after typing the message to my gamma. I did that quickly and kept glancing at my phone's screen, waiting for Sara’s call or text.

She should be freaking out about whatever my mum said, shouldn't she? The minutes went by, and no call came from her.

Seeing the Luna didn't spook her like I thought it would. How could she not be trying to reach me right now? Then again, we were not exactly on talking terms. Our last conversation ended with me threatening her.

But I refused to feel bad about any of that. She got on my last nerve yesterday ranting about how much she hated to be in the same space with me. I didn't need to hear all of that bullshit. Then she wouldn't pick up my calls.

But I wonder what's going on in her mind right now?

My phone started to ring. It was Jake this time.

“You’ve missed your flight, alpha. I’m readying a chopper," he said.

“Good. Call Richard. I want the Luna out of town ASAP!” I told him.

“Yeah, about that," he sighed. "Richard's on his way to her, but I think this will only raise her suspicions.”

"She ran into Sara moments ago. Don't ask me how I know. She's longer suspicious. She knows for sure that the girl lives in this town!" I said to him.

"Shit, Nick! If she stays here another half hour, she'll find out about little Alex."

"That's why I want her out. I'm not ready for her or anyone else to find out. I... need time. Sara does too. Both my mum and Meg must fly back to the city this minute.
