Chapter 0154
“I… I apologize,” Taylor said, lowering his gaze. “It was an oversight, and It won’t happen again. I’ll make sure it’s fixed by the end of today.”
“What good does that do me now??” Gavin asked, turning to face him fully, his eyes red with fury. “My son was poisoned, and we have no camera footage showing us who was responsible.”
“I’ll do what I can to investigate,” Taylor assured him “The good news is Matt is alive.”
“If I was a second later-”
“But you weren’t,” Taylor said, stopping his thought process. “You have to think on the positive side.”
Gavin’s back was tense, and he released a shuttering breath that shook his broad shoulders.
“Find out what you can,” Gavin said, after a beat of silence.
“Yes, sir,” Beta Taylor said, nodding. He glanced at me, giving me a wary look before retreating from the room, leaving me alone with a very fuming Gavin.
I wasn’t sure what to say; my entire body was trembling as I watched Gavin pace back and forth like he was on the hunt, and I was his prey. He was looking everywhere but me though and it unsettled me even more. The Gavin I was starting to know was nowhere to be found; now he was just a giant ball of fury, and it left me feeling sick to my stomach.
He finally paused and looked at me, his eyes shining with difference.
“You were careless with my son’s life,” he said through his teeth, his eyes narrowed.
“Gavin-”
“Alpha!” He roared.
I trembled and lowered my gaze.
. “Alpha…” I repeated, my voice coming out with a breathy whisper. “I don’t know what happened. I-”
“What happened was my son was fed peanut butter, and he had an allergic reaction. I trusted you to care. for him and you let me down.”
“No, I-”
“Are you telling me you did!
“Are you telling me you didn’t hand him the sandwich with peanut butter?”
“I’m saying I didn’t know there was peanut butter in it…” I said, tears spilling out of my cheeks.
He scoffed, curling his lips up in disgust and making the knot in my stomach tighten.
