DAMIEN’S POV
I arrived at the pack house.
It’d been two months since my last meeting with Sophia and the radio silence told me she hadn’t gotten pregnant.
Time to try again.
I told myself that today would be different.
My wolf had been restless for days. He kept pacing inside me as if sensing something and I just dismissed it as anticipation.
However the moment I stepped into the foyer, I felt it. For some reason, the place felt empty.
I called out, "Sophia?"
My voice echoed back at me.
A figure moved ahead, and for a heartbeat my chest went tight, thinking she was the one, but it was only the butler, Cherry. She bowed quickly, but the scent that reached me was wrong.
Not Sophia. Not even close.
I narrowed my eyes. "Where is she?"
Cherry flinched at the sound of my voice. "Alpha... Luna Sophia hasn’t returned. Not since the last time you left."
My wolf bristled. What did she mean she hadn’t returned?
I stepped closer, my tone dropping.
"What do you mean she hasn’t come back? She should have been here. I told her to wait here and that we’ll try again this month"
Cherry swallowed tightly. "She never came back, Alpha. Not once."
The words hit me hard. I didn’t respond. I simply turned and stormed out of the villa. My wolf growled.
He was irritated.
Where the hell did she go? Why didn’t she call?
I got into my car, slammed the door, and sped out of the pack house.
Halfway down the road, my phone rang. It was Tiffany.
Her voice came in smoothly through the speaker.
"Damien, where are you? I just finished rehearsal. You didn’t pick me up."
"I’m busy," I muttered.
My eyes were fixed on the road as I scanned every turn like Sophia might appear out of thin air.
She sighed dramatically. "I have a performance tomorrow night. And because of that, I can’t go to Ashley’s school. They’re having some Family Fun Day. Could you tell Sophia to handle it? You know Ashley prefers me but I won’t be able to make it."
I cut her off. "Sophia will do it." I said it automatically, not even thinking. I only wanted Tiffany to stop talking so I could focus. "I’ll let her know."
Besides, Sophia always took care of everything.
"Good," Tiffany replied, relieved. "Ashley will listen to her. Besides, she owes me after—"
I hung up before she finished.
I called Sophia immediately. I got even more frustrated as her number rang once... twice... then played a cold prerecorded message.
"The number you are trying to reach is unavailable or no longer in service."
I stared at the screen, confused, then tried again.
Same message.
My brows pulled tight. "Sophia," I muttered under my breath, "what the hell are you doing?"
I texted her.
DAMIEN: Where are you? Come home now.
