Chapter 0064

What the bloody hell was Megan still doing in Orphic? Didn’t she leave with Nick’s mom? 

And she was here in this resort. Which meant she and Nick… That was still going on, wasn’t 

it? 

Okay, it’s none of my business. I’ve moved past that betrayal a long time ago. These thoughts didn’t stop my stomach from turning. 

I kept walking even as she stared at me. There was no rule that said I had to talk to her. Just pretend you don’t know her, I said to myself. 

Then she called out my name. Too loud. 

“Sara James.” 

I didn’t stop. When she called out to me the third time, I felt her grab my arm, forcing me to look at her. 

“It is you,” she said, making no effort to mask the bitterness in her tone. 

I freed myself from her grip. 

“Hello, Megan.” I kept a blank expression. 

“What are you doing here?” She asked. 

“I should be asking you. You live in Los Angeles, remember? Or did you move?” 

“Oh no, I still live there. Still a proud Forest Mooner.” She gave a fake smile before adding, “I didn’t whore myself to Alpha Reign and get kicked out like you did.” 

I refused to dignify the silly remark, so I returned her fake smile and said, 

“It was nice catching up on old times. I’ve got a place to be now, so-” 

“What are you doing in THIS resort? You work here or something?” Her voice seemed unwittingly sharp. It looked like she would drop dead if I said what she didn’t want to hear. 

I hated to engage her further. 

“Bye, Megan,” was my response as I turned around and walked away. 

What the hell was Nick thinking? Didn’t he say he wasn’t ready for pack members to learn about the child yet? She was a member of his pack. One that knew our history too well.

If she saw Alex, she’d know without a doubt that he was mine and Nick’s. Or did he already tell her? 

Even if he really needed to see her, couldn’t he have met her somewhere else or on another day? There were many decent hotels in town. I swallowed the bile in my throat as images of her in Nick’s arms flashed in my mind. 

I bet she was the reason he asked me to stay for dinner. He planned to toy with me, didn’t he? 

The thought of her going anywhere near my child made me sick for some reason. I was close to the gate now and had to halt. She was going up to meet him, and Alex was there. 

I reached for my phone and dialled the alpha’s number. As expected, there was no answer. 

“Just like old times, huh,” I gritted. 

Jake’s number was next. I dialled him immediately. There was no answer too. 

“Oh what the hell!” 

Turning around, I headed back into the building. No way I would take any chances with my 

child. 

The guard with the fierce face looked at me with a raised brow when I entered the lobby again. But he didn’t approach to try and stop me. Neither did the others who seemed confused by my reappearance. 

I went straight to the elevator, leading to Nick’s house. The operator punched in the passcodes to open the door without hesitation. 

Turning around from the wall as I entered, my eyes met Meg’s. 

She was waiting in front of the public lift used by guests. Her face, white with horror and lips parted in disgust as she watched me with narrowed eyes. The door slid close within seconds, shielding me from the hate–filled look. 

Why the hell was she standing there instead of here? I thought she would’ve gone up already with this particular lift. 

Moments later, I was back inside the penthouse. All was quiet with no sign of Nick or Alex 

nearby. 

Maybe he’s with her. Oh, how stupid! I just saw her downstairs. I rolled my eyes at my overactive imagination. 

“Alex!” I called out while heading towards the stairs.

Janice appeared just then. 

“Oh, the alpha and his son are up on the roof,” she informed me. 

I nodded and headed up. Nick must’ve sensed me coming because his eyes were fixed on the 

entrance when I appeared. 

The table was already set, but father and son seemed to be waiting for their meal. 

“Mommy’s back,” Alex announced with a grin. 

The first thing I did was look about for the alpha’s phone. 

“I tried to call you,” I said. 

“I told you, Jake already gave me your message. You miss my voice. Is that why you’re back again? Or did you change your mind about dinner?” He asked. 

If the table was set for two, it meant his girlfriend wasn’t joining them, right? But I had to be sure, so I said, 

“Megan is here. Did you invite her?” 

I watched his face go blank. After which different other emotions creased his perfect features. Irritation was the most notable one. 

He didn’t reply. Instead, he rose abruptly and went to the intercom sitting on a lone table at the far end. 

I tried so hard to hear what he was saying but the words were too low for me to catch. He didn’t want me to hear. Damn my weak senses! If it was the other way round, he would’ve heard my whispering. 

When he returned, he simply asked, “Why the hell would you think I invited her?” His tone was tinged with annoyance. 

“Because she’s… not important,” I said quickly. “So she’s not coming up here then? And she won’t come near Alex, right?” 

At that moment, two hotel staffs arrived with trays. 

“No!” He replied, settling himself on the chair. 

“You can still join us for dinner. If not, you’ve overstayed, Sara. Your bff isn’t coming up here, don’t worry.” 

Alex watched wide eyed, waiting for me to decide to sit with them. I almost did in order to

ensure Megan Deere stayed away. 

“I’ll see you tomorrow, baby. Remember, don’t talk to strangers, okay,” I said again, smoothing Alex’s hair. “Go on, eat your food.” 

As I started to leave, Nick called out, 

“You owe me!” 

I turned around to look at him. He held up his index finger. 

“One hour. That’s what you owe!”
