Alexander's POV

“How could you let her get away!” I roared as my fist slammed down against the desk in front of me.

My head guard, Mason, stood in front of me, and while his face showed no fear, I could see in his eyes that he was afraid. He finally cleared his throat and, pushing his shoulders back, stated, “My Lord, she had a head start and knew the land better than we do. She also had a car waiting for her with a human in it. Had they not been there, we would have had her.” 

I turned to her father, who was still attempting to get ahold of Acelynn via phone. “Who is the human she is with?” I growled 

He looked stumped by my question. “I apologize, my Lord, I allowed her to attend public school, and she is quite popular. It would be hard for me to say exactly who it is.” 

I could feel myself growing angrier. At this point, my eyes had to be black as night as I was fighting to control my wolf. Her father looked like he was at a loss for what to do when finally he stood and stated, “Let me ask my oldest daughter. She and Acelynn are close. She might know who this friend is.” 

He left the room quickly, probably trying to get a break from me. While I waited, I thought about a close friend of mine who was good at hacking into people’s phones and laptops. He had found out information for me before, and I didn’t know why I didn’t think of him sooner. I quickly gave him a call, and before we were off the phone, he was already working. 

Acelynn’s father came back into his office looking paler than when we had first entered the room. “My Lord, Bianca has informed me that the only friend she knows of that Acelynn frequently hangs out with is a Bella Lancaster. She lives in town and attends the same High School.” 

I face-timed my tech friend, Josh, this time hoping he would have information for me. When he answered, I could see that he was still working on his search. “She’s smart. She’s turned the data off to her phone, so I can’t tell where she’s been after she left you. There have been no updates on any of her social media accounts either. Her last phone call was to a number that she frequently calls and texts, though do you want me to dig into that?” he asked. 

“Yes, see if it belongs to a Bella Lancaster,” I stated as I watched him go back to his computer screens. 

In only a few minutes, he was able to find that the number was for a Bella Lancaster. She had just posted a picture on her i********: of her and Acelynn. My mate had changed into a black dress that looked more like a napkin and barely covered anything up. One wrong move, and people would be getting a free show. I was instantly fuming but nothing compared to the Snapchat video he sent me next. It showed her spinning around to reveal that the dress was backless and that her ass was just barely covered by the almost sheer black fabric. “Where were these taken at?” I growled. 

“The location attached is outside of a club called Neon Nights,” Josh replied. 

“I’ll send you the payment like usual,” I grumbled at him before ending the call. 

I was up and out of the Alphas office, quickly making it down the stairs to the SUV that waited out front. As we were driving away, I could see Acelynn’s family standing on the steps, watching us go. I had hoped to leave on better terms, something I would have to amend once I found my mate.
