Chapter 31: Talk With Alpha Dominic
Hailee’s POV
Standing in the doorway was Alpha Dominic. Nathan’s father.
My breath caught in my throat, and my entire body went stiff. I gasped out loud, the panic hitting me like a slap to the face.
"Oh my god..."
Without thinking, I scrambled, trying to get down from Nathan, my arms loosening, my legs unwrapping. But he didn’t let me. Nathan’s grip only tightened. One arm around my waist, the other under my thigh, keeping me in place like I weighed nothing at all.
"Put me down," I hissed in a sharp whisper, terrified. "Nathan—your father is right there!"
"I know," he said calmly, as if it was perfectly normal to be caught like this.
I twisted in his arms to look at him. "What are you doing?" My voice trembled.
My eyes darted back to the doorway. Alpha Dominic stood there in his usual tailored suit, his hands clasped calmly behind his back, eyes unreadable—but not furious. Not cold. Just... watching.
He tilted his head slightly. "When you two are done," he said in a quiet voice, "Hailee, I’d like to have a word with you in the library."
I froze. Not us. Just... me.
