Chapter 81. Her Family

ROYCE.

I step outside, although I can still hear the conversation no matter how much I try to block it out. I glance around the mansion, not missing the guards watching me. They’re professional, yet sharp.

These are the guards to the royal pack. I make my way over to my car, leaning against it as I scroll through my notifications.

A message from the Beta…

Unlocking my phone, I open the message;

‘Hello Royce, I thought to let you know I finished my business and have returned if you still want to talk to me. Regards Quade.’

He’s back…

‘Hello, thank you for your reply, yes I do actually. I’ll stop by when I have a chance.’ I hit send and slip my phone into my pocket.

I need to ask him without further delay and if she’s alive, then there is so much more I need to do.

Of course, the entire situation is a struggle. What if she would rather not have anything to do with us? But if I know she’s alive, would I be able to simply walk away not knowing if she’s happy?

I close my eyes, tilting my head back slightly, letting the warmth of the sun hit my face when I hear the sound of running, a thumping heart and sense Dante’s powerful aura.

Ah… I guess I can have that word with him.

I open my eyes as he comes into view and I see the guards disperse, lowering their heads to their future Alpha before leaving the grounds.

He’s wearing an oversized hoodie, sweatpants, and headphones are stuck in his ear. He is drenched in sweat and looks surprisingly exhausted.

“Morning.” I say, as he slows down and approaches me while he takes a swig from the water bottle he’s holding.

“Good morning, or should I say, afternoon.” He says almost mockingly.

I cock a brow. “It’s still not noon, actually, if we’re being precise.” I counter lightly.

He smirks, clearly amused.

“You’re angry at me.” He states the obvious.

“Should I not be? You know yourself that what you said would hurt her, yet you still said it.” I say, getting to the point.

He exhales slowly before he nods. “Yes, I do know that, but I did what I did…” He clenches his jaw and for a fraction of a second I almost think that he’s in pain, but it’s only there for a fraction of a second before he looks at me as stoic and confident as ever.

“You did. Next time, don’t.” I say, “I can handle myself and I’ll take care of her.”

He smiles faintly. “Alright.”

That’s it?
