Alpha's Regret: Losing His True Mate

Elodie’s POV~

On Friday night, after work, I drove back to Dante’s villa to pick up Liora.

I was surprised to find him home. It was rare for him to be there this early, usually, he should have still being at the office or out somewhere with Sienna.

He was on the phone when I walked in. His eyes flicked toward me briefly, acknowledging my presence, then he turned away and continued his conversation.

The housekeeper approached me, her expression warm. "Madam, I’ve prepared dinner for you and Miss Liora before you leave."

I shook my head. "No need. We’ll eat at the Miller house. But thank you."

She hesitated, glancing toward Dante like she needed his permission to accept my refusal.

Dante, still on his call, pulled the phone away from his mouth just long enough to say, "Listen to Madam."

Then he went right back to his conversation.

I nodded to the housekeeper and turned to Liora. "Let’s go, sweetheart."

"Okay!" Liora grabbed her bag and waved enthusiastically at Dante. "Bye, Dad! See you tomorrow!"

Dante waved back, his expression softening just slightly. "Bye, sweetheart."
