Ditched Cheating Alpha, I Led My Daughter to Life's Peak novel Chapter 191

I'm about to ask her what's going on, but Michael points towards the door with one hand, holding the pillow against his head with the other.

"Ethel and Onai are waiting for you at Town Hall. We'll take you to them," Bri explains without me having to prompt her. "But you kind of need to hurry up, because-"

Suddenly Krys is all I hear. "Is she getting up?"

I flinch. I've never heard her sound so angry.

"Yeah, she's getting up," Brittany says nervously, holding the speaker away from her face.

They're both just background noise by the point Krys says, "Let me talk to her."

"No," Bri says quickly. "She's coming. I said she's coming."

I hear some rustling, then, again it's just Krys. She's screaming so loud I think I can hear her from outside. "Mia, if you don't get your sleeping beauty butt up right now-"

Click.

Needless to say, I get ready quickly.

I take the fastest shower known to man, brush my teeth, throw something on, decide I'll have to find something to eat while I'm out, and run back to Michael's room.

"Michael," I shout out.

He pops up, looking only half-way conscious. "What?"

"I'm going out. Cover for me."

"What?" That wakes him up. "Where are you going? Who are you going with?"

"Krys and Bri, then Onai and Ethel. Tell Mom and Dad it was something school related. Be vague." I run out of the door and towards the stairs.

He's already blocking my way, once again, wrapped head to toe in his robe. "You march right back into your room, young lady."

Omg. "I literally don't have time for this."

"I bet you don't," he says. "But I don't have time to file a missing person report, so make time."

I rub my forehead, imagining Krys breaking through the front door with a face mask that she claims I 'forced her to use because of the bags she's getting from watching me.'

Michael doesn't seem to have any form of haste. "I just don't understand why you're going out with those two. Alone. Again."

"Because they're my friends," I say.

He scoffs. "You said that about the brothers."

"Well, you're the one who said I needed to talk to Suzie," I remind him.

"Yeah, Suzie. Not them," he points towards the door as if the two male betas were out there themselves.
