Alpha's Regret: Losing His True Mate

Elodie’s Pov~

After dinner, as soon as I got home, my phone rang. I picked it up when I saw it was Johnny calling.

"So? How’d it go? What did Professor Nolan want?"

I filled him in on the dinner, then about Jordan Hall, Reed Hardin, and the whole thing.

There was a pause on the other end. Then Johnny let out a low whistle. "Wait, those two? Damn. That’s serious."

"Yeah, it was... intense."

"I bet." He hesitated, then added, "Oh, fun fact, that Rex guy we ran into? He’s Reed Hardin’s son."

I blinked. "Really?"

"Yep. His dad’s brilliant, so I have no idea why the kid’s so dense. Anyway, just thought you should know."

I hadn’t expected that, but honestly, it didn’t matter much to me.

On Tuesday, the initial test for Wilson Tech’s self-driving car was scheduled. Johnny and I arrived early in the morning.
