Surrogate For Alpha Dom

Chapter 333: Underground

Cora picks up the third call and I narrow my eyes at her even though she can’t see me. I can tell she was screening my calls and only picked up because I’d never, ever triple-call her unless something had happened.

“Ella?” I hear her worried voice say, “what’s wrong?”

“Where are you, Cora,” I demand, letting my tone tell her not to fight me.

I exhale a deep breath of relief and nod. “Okay. I love you, Cora,” I say, my voice wavering a little.

But before I can ask more, she hangs up.
