Chapter 11: In San Ravendale
Alex anxiously fidgeted with his fingers, his gaze darting around the room as frustration gnawed at him. He had searched everywhere, yet there was no trace of Amelie.
"Did she actually manage to escape? An omega ran away that far from me," he murmured. "I shouldn't have let her go alive." He clenched his fists while his jaw tightened in anger.
A sudden knock at the door pulled him from his thoughts. His heart lurched as he strode over and opened it.
"Alex," Flora's soft voice reached him before she wrapped her arms around him in a comforting embrace. He shut his eyes, allowing himself a moment of solace in her warmth before gently pulling away.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
Flora looked at him with concern. "I couldn't let you be alone," she admitted. "I still can't believe my sister lied about her pregnancy in the pack. My parents are trying to connect with Amelie, but her phone is off. I checked the CCTVs at our house, but Amelie didn't come home."
"CCTVs?" Alex's eyes gleamed with realization. "I didn't even think of that." A smirk tugged at his lips as he leaned back slightly. "We need to check every spot where the cameras were installed. Once we do, I can finally catch that annoying bitch."
Flora nodded but hesitated before speaking again. "Yes... but Alex, do you know who she cheated on you with? I always thought Amelie was the innocent type, the kind of woman who would never do something like this." She paused, searching his face for answers. "Did she tell the doctor who the father of her child is?"
Alex's smirk faltered for a brief moment before his gaze darkened.
