A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) novel Chapter 45

Elise Reign

The Luna halted on her way up the airstairs. She was overcome with that familiar stirring that she felt when she first entered this town. The feeling she caught when they were stopped by that police car. A scent accompanied it this time. One she was now acquainted with.

Her breathing hitched, but she didn't dare turn around to look.

'Get it together, Elise,' she cautioned herself silently.

As she got into the jet, she caught sight of the one person that threatened her general composure.

The Sergeant was racing towards the waiting private jet as she lowered herself to the seat.

Her heart sped up again, and her palms went clammy as she watched him through the windshield. The pilot was ready to take off.

“Hayes, hang on,” she ordered.

“What could the policeman want?” Hayes scoffed, wondering aloud. He was undoubtedly irritated with the delay.

“Beats me,” the Luna replied absently. "And so early in the morning, too."

The Sergeant was now arguing with the human guards as they tried to stop him from coming near the plane. He flashed his barge, but they didn’t care.

She took a deep, purposely breath to control the thumping in her chest.

Wait, why was she afraid? She had nothing to fear, she assured herself. He didn’t recognize her. That much was clear. He was here for something else.

She watched as the men stood their ground, threatening to forcefully escort him from the hellipad if he didn’t leave immediately. One of them was already on the phone. Elise knew he was calling the Sergeant’s boss.

She had ordered Mae, her most-trusted gamma, to remain in Orphic for a few hours. She was to do a bit of background check on this policeman. But right now, the Luna doubted the necessity of that command.

“I’m curious about what he wants. Lemme go find out,” she said to Hayes, rising from her seat.

As she reached the door, she called out, “Is there a problem?”

“Yes, ma’am, I’m here to ask you a few questions about a kidnapping!” The man replied harshly.

Right.

That’s why he chased her here? To prove to his little crush that he was a hardworking policeman? Elise gave a short laugh as she descended the stairs to meet him.

Did he know that the father of that girl’s child was back in her life?
