All Chapters of The Alpha Who Left Me Pregnant: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

My phone started ringing, and my heart jumped straight into my throat. My hands were trembling as I picked it up. The number was unknown. My mouth instantly went dry, and I just stared at the screen. Could it be Varek... finally calling to hear my answer?A full day had passed since the meeting, and I was at Orion’s house. Voss still hadn't arrived. Without him, how were we supposed to trace the call? For a second, I thought about calling Orion to come sit with me, but I needed to know if Kael was safe. Even though Lucien and the others weren't here yet, I decided to answer anyway. I'd think of some excuse to make Varek call me again later. More than anything, I just wanted to hear my baby’s voice one more time.I took a deep breath before answering on the fifth ring. “This is Elara,” I said, my voice rough and shaky.“We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty—”“Oh, for fuck’s sake,” I muttered angrily, ending the call with a swipe. My hands were shaking serio

“You mean besides my inch-long canines when I shift?” Jaxon asked with a grin.“You know exactly what I mean,” Orion replied.Jaxon smirked, lifted his shirt, and showed the semi-auto pistol tucked into the waistband of his pants. “I’m covered, my man.”“And what about you?” Orion asked, turning to Voss.Voss raised one eyebrow, slipped his hand into his laptop bag, and pulled out a snub-nosed revolver. “We’re good,” he said with a quick smile.“Okay, then,” Orion replied.He looked completely focused now. His attention was sharp, and he carried himself like a leader again... confident and determined in a way I hadn't seen for quite some time. Seeing him like that made me feel relieved. It was clear his mind was fully back where it needed to be.“you both just stay alert,” Lucien said. “I don't know how Varek plans things, but he might already expect that we're trying to find him. If that's true, he could decide to do something reckless.” He shrugged as he motioned around the house. “

Orion: I'm in the diner on Market Street. Overlooking the main business area. I'll see if I can get some information from the staff while I wait.Lucien: Got it. I'm at the grocery store farther down the street.My booth was near the back of the diner. It gave me a clear view of both the front door and the street outside, but it was hidden enough that people wouldn't notice me unless they were actually looking for me.A moment after I sat down, a quiet, nervous-looking server hurried over and placed a laminated menu in front of me.“Here you go.”She wouldn't look me in the eyes. Instead, she kept glancing nervously through the windows toward the sidewalk outside.She was human, and my heightened senses let me smell the fear coming off her. That alone told me everything I needed to know.Everyone in this town was terrified.Tax day wasn't something anyone looked forward to.“Thank you,” I said kindly as I accepted the menu.“Uh... would you like something to drink? Coffee... maybe?” s

All he could do was nod and keep shaking with fear.“Good,” I said. “Stop giving Varek information... or I'll make you wish you were dead.”I threw the rest of the money onto the counter, then looked at the customers and at Emily.“I think this belongs to all of you. I'll let you decide how to split it.”“Thank you,” Emily said.“No problem,” I replied. “I've got a meeting with my shithead little brother. But before that asshole wakes up in the bathroom, it would be smart for all of you... including the cooks... to get out of here. Just make sure you lock the bathroom door from the outside first.”“Yes, sir,” Lee answered as he quickly pulled a ring of keys from his pocket.I gave Emily a small nod before walking toward the door.As I stepped outside into the sunlight, I pulled out my phone and called Lucien.“Christ, Orion, are you okay?” he asked immediately. “I saw your message.”“I'm fine,” I replied. “He won't be causing any problems for a while. Have we heard from anyone else?”

Jaxon rushed across the room in three quick steps and grabbed both of my shoulders.“Calm down.”“I have to warn Orion,” I said, feeling the last small pieces of my sanity starting to break under all the pressure.“Already doing it,” Selene said from behind Jaxon with her phone pressed to her ear.A second later, her face twisted with frustration.“Fuck! He's not answering.”Jaxon immediately pulled out his own phone and made a call.Someone answered almost right away.“Elias? Is Orion with you?”He listened for a few seconds before shutting his eyes in disappointment.“Then get to him.”“This whole thing has gone sideways.”“Varek already knew we were in town.”“He might already have more men on the way.”“You're all sitting ducks.”“Find Orion and keep him safe.”“He's the one Varek will go after first.”“Move!”“Oh my God,” I whispered as my knees nearly gave out beneath me.“Elara,” Stormy said, taking both of my hands in hers, “everything's going to be okay.”“Don't think about t
