The Alpha's Unclaimed Mate (Jason and Laila) by Caroline Above Story novel Chapter 298

“Have you ever met her in person?” I asked.

His eyes immediately darted away from me.

“What did she look like?” I asked.

“I don’t know! What does any woman look like? She has legs, and eyes, and I nice pair of

A sharp growl escaped my throat, immediately silencing him.

“Here is what you are going to do,” I told him firmly, pressing some of my Alpha tone into my voice. “You are going to set up a meeting with her.”

“I’m not going to a meeting with her!” he said.

“No one said you were going,” I snapped. “You are only setting it up. When she gets there, she’ll find me.”

Peter looked nervously around. “I don’t have much choice, do I?”

“No.” I told him. “Not if you want to live.”

“Give me the phone,” the man said.

“Don’t let him hold it,” I said to Marcus. To Peter, I said, “Tell Marcus the number, he’ll dial, and hold it to your ear.”

Peter cursed under his breath but eventually grumbled, “Fine. The number’s saved. Third one down.”

Marcus went through the sequence, then dialed, and held the phone to Peter’s ear.

I strained to hear, but it sounded like the person on the other end was using some kind of means to alter and hide her true voice.

“Listen, things have gone sideways. I need to meet you in person. Peter listened for a moment, then said, “Yeah, no shit things are bad. That’s why we need to talk. No phones means no eavesdroppers, got it? You remember where we met last time? Good. Be there in an hour.”

“You’re already here,” Peter said, and looked at the warehouse behind him.

Peter had put us in a spot. To be ready for his contact’s arrival in less than an hour, we needed to remove all trace of a police presence. If the contact had even an inkling that Peter had been compromised, she could disappear.

The police grabbed Peter, and under Winston’s instruction started to make a quick retreat. Though, just as the last police car was getting ready to go, a new problem arrived in a college student walking down the street towards us. Carter was even wearing his letterman jacket.

Seeing he was blocking the last police car, I cursed and approached him. Grabbing him by the front of his jacket, I dragged him onto the sidewalk

“What the hell do you think you are doing here?” I asked.

“I heard on the police scanner that they were cornering someone here, and you were involved. I knew what it was, and had to see right away,” Carter said.

I really hoped Brittany or Adelaide didn’t also listen to the scanner.

“You have to go home. Now,” I told him.

“I can help.”

“We talked about this. This isn’tagame.”

“I’m not treating it as a game. I just want to prove myself to Laila. She’ll only take me seriously if

Someone was coming. I sensed it as clearly as if they had walked up and touched me.

I shoved Carter forward, around a stack of crates. “Marcus?”

“I’m here,” Marcus said, moving behind me as we also hid.

“The others?”

“In secure positions,” Marcus said. “We should be hidden.”
