Then afterwards, I plan to take her to dinner.

The door to my office opened, and my head Gamma, Derek, walked in.

"You better have good news," I said, my eyes narrowed.

"My cousin from the Redcliff pack is on his way. He'll be here by tomorrow night at the latest," Derek announced.

I nodded, though I'm not happy it'll take him a day to arrive, but as long as he gets here, that's all I can hope for.

Derek's cousin, Monty, is a known cyber hacker and a technology genius. If anyone could recover erased security footage, it was him.

The rest of the evening went by torturously slowly. I hated pretending to be there for Rachel, tending to her needs, making sure she remained happy and oblivious. As far as she knew, we were expecting a baby, I had accepted the fact that I had gotten her pregnant during that night together, and I was almost thrilled to be a father again. However, little did she know, I had my own plans at play.

I didn't buy the fact that I had sex with her, let alone got her pregnant. I knew she was up to something, but I couldn't figure out what it was.

"Can we talk?" I asked, leaning against his doorframe.

Matt looked up from his pillow and nodded, making room for me on his bed.
