Leo's point of view
"How have you lost her again?" Antonio asked in a deep tone. "Do you have no control over that girl?"
I was sat in the chair in my office, my head in my hands, as my father paced up and down furiously.
"She's not a girl anymore. She is a woman," I corrected wearily. "And no. As you know, it is very difficult to control a Jones."
"Girl, woman. Who cares? She is a female and you are the most powerful Alpha in the world yet you have allowed her to escape from you not once but twice!" he argued. "Are you trying to ruin your reputation?"
"I don't give a flying shit about my reputation right now. All I want is my mate back so unless you have something to say that can help me with that, can you fuck off?" I snapped.
He's my father but as he rightly pointed out, I'm the Alpha now and I don't like being disrespected.
"All I can suggest is that when you do find her you put her in the first place once and for all. Properly scare the shit out of her. You only have to do it once and she'll comply forever. Break your no beating rule if you have to. I would have done the first time and I don't know why you didn't-"
"I did, Dad," I interrupted. "I did hit her. Twice in fact."
He paused for a moment, a little confused and slightly taken aback.
"Then why has she-?"
"Because she is fearless."
"You apologised didn't you?" he said. "You promised to never do it again, right?"
I stayed quiet refusing to look him in the eye.
