Jacob POV When we entered the coffee shop, I spotted the man, Ray. He was sitting in the back corner, hands wrapped around a coffee mug. Ray would be about my Father’s age. I can tell from here that he is nervous. Zane heads to order drinks for us, allowing me to approach the man alone so as not to spook him because, as I said, the guy looks nervous. “Ray?” I say as I place my hands on the back of the chair across the table from him. He jumps to his feet, almost spilling his coffee. “Alpha Blu, please forgive me. I didn’t see you come in.” “Hey, calm down. You have nothing to apologize for. I’m the one who is late.” I say as I reach to put my hand on his shoulder and watch as he flinches like he was expecting me to hit him. “Please sit.” I gesture towards the chair he had just vacated.
