Author’s pov
Harper returned to the private room, her thoughts still spinning from the call.
Cecilia and Tang had already picked out their food, the menus resting on a weathered wooden table between them.
"Harper, here’s what we picked," Cecilia said, sliding the menu toward her. "Take a look, see if there’s anything else you want."
Harper sat down without a word. Her eyes drifted to a faded painting of ocean waves on the wall, but her mind was somewhere far away.
[ Alpha Xavier had somehow gotten into Tiffany’s phone. That wasn’t random. He’d clearly gone out of his way to make it happen. ]
[ But why?
Was he trying to get I to talk Cecilia into ending the pregnancy? That didn’t add up. He knew I would never go along with that. ]
[ So what was the point?
Was he just trying to mess things up between Cecilia and Alpha Sebastian? ]
"Harper? Hello? Earth to Harper?" Cecilia waved a hand in front of her face.
"What? Oh...sorry," Harper blinked and looked back at her.
Cecilia pressed the menu into her hands. "Just check if there’s anything else you want to add."
Harper glanced down, barely reading the words.
"You went to the bathroom and came back like you saw a ghost," Cecilia said, her tone shifting. "What happened?"
Harper quickly marked a couple of dishes, then looked up. "It’s nothing serious. My stomach’s been a little off again. I just needed a second to pull myself together."
There was no way she was telling Cecilia aboutAlpha Xavier’s latest stunt.
Not right now. Cecilia was pregnant, and the last thing she needed was more crap from her crazy ex.
Cecilia gave her a look but didn’t push it. She nodded and let it go.
The three of them finished their meal, laughing and chatting like everything was fine. None of them knew Alpha Xavier had used that call to track Harper’s phone. He was already on the road, closing in fast.
Luckily, they were gone by the time Alpha Xavier got there.
But the restaurant’s security camera had caught a shot of their license plate. That was all he needed to narrow things down.
At one o’clock, they arrived at the lake house. It was built right into a rocky hillside, tucked above the waterline of a quiet mountain lake. The place looked incredible.
From the outside, it looked like part of the pine-covered slope. The entrance was barely visible unless you knew exactly where to look. The place was quiet, tucked away, and practically invisible.
Most importantly, only Alpha Sebastian knew it existed.
