Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 79 – How the hell did he even get in?

’Drive to the airport. Mr. Ashkael has an emergency, so he moved the venue closer to his current location. He’s covering all the bills and compensating for the extra time too.’

That was the message Leon received from his father, and for a second, he just stared at the screen like the words might rearrange themselves into something that made more sense, because confusion flooded his mind so fast it almost felt physical, and without wasting another breath he dialed the middle-aged man’s number, needing clarification before he even attempted to explain this to Seraphine.

"Leon, the message came in about thirty minutes ago," his father said, his voice steady but tight around the edges. "I’ve been trying to sort everything out since then. Turns out we’re all taking the same jet, so just meet us at the airport and we’ll handle the rest there."

Leon stood there for a moment after the call ended, staring at nothing in particular because the information felt heavier than it should have, like it carried something more than just a change of location.

He turned to Seraphine, took a breath to steady himself, and told her everything as calmly as he could.

"What?" Seraphine’s face drained of color so fast it almost scared him, although honestly, her reaction made complete sense.

Leon wasn’t thrilled either, but this was his first time being invited to something on this level and backing out now would have consequences he didn’t even want to think about.

He tried to soften it as he explained, "Mr. Ashkael moved the event to Bohemian Grove in California. From the airport, it’s at least seven and a half hours to get there, but don’t stress, there’s a private jet waiting for us. You can change and rest once we board. When we’re about to arrive, you just get dressed again and we head straight in."
