Ethan’s Pov
I stepped into the majestic mansion of Alpha Richard, hoping to see my mate Lyra. I still texted and called but as usual she was unresponsive, thinking of mindlinking her, a guard approached me and led me towards alpha Richard’s study.
As soon as I stepped into the study, the wooden door closing behind me with a dull thud. He stood by his desk, hands gripping the edge like… I could feel his emotions and it wasn’t good at all.
“Alpha Richard,” I said carefully, keeping my voice steady. “One of the guards escorted me here. I don’t know why. I—”
“You don’t know why?” His voice cut through mine like a blade. Then he turned, and I saw the phone in his hand. Lyra’s phone. My chest tightened instantly.
What was he doing with her phone and why did you want me here in his study?
