My Fated Alpha's Cruel Game (Elena and Marcus) novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Chapter 143 The Obsidian Summons

Elena’s POV

The morning routine felt automatic as I guided the children downstairs and prepared their breakfast. After getting everyone ready, I drove Seraphina and the twins to school before heading into town to my office.

Piper sat at her usual spot behind the reception desk, greeting me with a warm smile as I walked through the front door.

She approached with my stack of messages, and I settled behind my desk to review who had attempted to reach me overnight.

My computer hummed to life as I opened my email inbox and began scrolling through the endless list of correspondence.

Most messages contained routine requests from pack members seeking job transfers or addressing the typical administrative matters that required my attention throughout the territory.

A substantial pile of invoices demanded payment, so I retrieved the corporate credit card designated exclusively for pack expenses and methodically settled each outstanding bill to ensure our accounts remained current. However, maintaining focus had become increasingly challenging lately.

"Hey Mom." Caleb’s voice interrupted my concentration as he entered my office.

"Hello there. What brings you here? I assumed you would have accompanied your father today." I replied.

"No. I told him I would remain here with you instead." He answered.

"I hardly require supervision. You should understand that better than anyone." I stated.

"You’ve seemed unusually preoccupied recently. I simply wanted to ensure someone stayed at the pack consistently so you would have support available whenever needed." Caleb explained.

"Your concern means everything to me. However, if you have obligations elsewhere, please attend to them. You don’t need to monitor my every move. Maya serves that purpose adequately." I responded.

"I understand that completely. Still, she lacks our family connection and wasn’t present during Briar’s disappearance." Caleb countered.
