75: We Will Be Okay Pt2

*FREE CHAPTER*

ZACH.

‘It’s already almost eight in the morning, Alpha. John called and said he couldn’t make it today because of an emergency.’ Arlo said. 

My eyes snapped fully open as my forehead creased. ‘Did he say if he could come to the next session?’

‘Nothing about that. And he sounded in a hurry, so I let him go right away.’

This was not good. It meant I had to wait a few more days before I got an answer from him. But what if he had no plans to return? What if he discovered that we had already caught him?

‘Thanks. Is everything okay?’

‘Yes, Alpha. You were supposed to call Alpha Jace at seven today, but I called him earlier and told him you were not to be disturbed.’ I could sense teasing in his voice.

‘I didn’t say that.’

‘I decided on that,’ he chuckled. ‘Is everything okay between you and the Luna?’

I smiled at the title he used for Amber. ‘Yes, we’re good.’

‘Do you want me to send someone with breakfast?’

‘No. We’ll make do with what we have here.’ I replied. ‘How is Mindy?’

‘She’s doing better than I expected. It calmed her that she knew you were not on good terms with him and that there were no plans of withdrawing the case filed against him in connection with Maddox.’

‘That’s good to hear.’ I told him. 

There was silence after that before Arlo spoke again. ‘We will be okay, right? You and Amber, Mindy and me.’

I closed my eyes and nodded my head as if he could see me before pulling Amber closer to me and answering him. ‘Yes, we will be. It may take a while, but we will get there.’

The rest of the morning went by in bliss. Amber and I ate breakfast in the cabin before Arlo came to pick us up and drove us back to the packhouse.

We showered together and then went on our separate ways to do our routines. After lunch, I was expecting her to spend time with me in my office like she usually does before going to her afternoon training, but she said she had calls to make as she was missing her friends. 

I told her we could visit them or invite them here. My suggestion came out of the blue, but the look on her face when I said that was priceless. So I knew I couldn’t take it back anymore. But I had no plans. I would do anything to keep her happy and thriving here. 

Last night, while in the middle of having sex, Amber asked me to induct her into my pack, and I was more than willing to do it. I’d been wanting this for the longest time, and even though she kept popping up in my head only to say, I love you, I was content and happy. 

Everything that happened between us made us closer and stronger. It couldn’t get any better than this. 

I was busy with paperwork, wanting all of these reviewed and signed so I could do some training in the basement before dinner. After last night, when I was able to move my hips to fuck Amber, I was more motivated to train my arms and legs. And she promised to join me. 

My head had been quiet for a couple of hours, but with her own training done, I was sure she would be in my head again. 

‘Zach?’ I smiled when she finally connected with me.

‘Yes, Little Rose…’

‘I’m coming home now. Red carpet, please…’ She giggled. 

‘You mean a carpet of clothes. Then, leave me naked, right?’ I teased her. She giggled more, and it made my heart flutter. 

‘I want that! But it’s still working hours for you. Let’s leave that idea for tonight.”

I chuckled. ‘As you wish. But come home now. I miss you.’

‘Yes, sir. I’ll be there soon.’ She replied, and after a few more sweet nothings, the conversation ended. 

After a while, I looked at the clock overhead. She told me she was on her way here, but it had been over fifteen minutes, and she was still not around. She probably got held up somewhere, which was not really a big deal, but I did miss her. 

‘Zach…’ My body jolted when her voice came. She sounded different as if she was about to cry.

‘What’s going on?’ I asked as my heart thundered. I dropped the pen in my hand and rolled my chair to the big window, but I couldn’t see anything except the parking lot and the garden. 

When she still didn’t answer even after I sent another message, I went out of my office. I didn’t like what I was feeling, as if something bad was happening or was about to happen. 

I only hope it didn’t mean Amber was in danger. 

Instead of heading directly to the front of the house, I turned to the corridor where there was a window overlooking the entrance of the packhouse. I hurried to it and checked outside. 

I was right. Amber was there by the steps. And she was talking with someone I didn’t know. 

It took a while before the female she was speaking with registered in my head. I hadn’t met her in person, but I had seen her in pictures. 

But what the fuck is she doing here?
