Chapter Twelve

"So you have heard of me." His voice was smooth and filled with curiosity.

I was speechless, I didn't know what to say. I had so many questions such as how did he get Cami's number and why was he calling her?

"What's your name?"

My eyes found Cami's and I saw the fear and horror reflecting from them. Swallowing the bile that was threatening to come up, I cleared my throat.

"I'm sorry for calling you a stupid twat. I thought you were someone else." I whispered into the phone. I can't believe I called an Alpha that, not just an any Alpha, Alpha Alessandro.

He's going to kill me.

His chuckle sent a shiver down my spine. "What's your name?"

It was strange, instead of it fear coursing through my body, I felt something else. Something different.

I debated on whether to tell him the truth. He would find out my name anyway since he has Cami's details so if I gave him the wrong decision then it could raise some suspicion.

"My name is Nala." My voice was small and barely audible but he heard me clearly.

"Nala." He purred.

It was silent and I used the next few seconds to pluck up the courage to ask him some questions. "Alpha, why are you contacting my sister? How did you get her number?"

"Where are you?" He ignored my questions and asked one of his own.

"I'm at home, Alpha." I lied. My heart was racing as I thought about the reasons why he could be calling.

Maybe he suspects Cami did something to his cousin? Maybe they found something? Did we miss something out? Was it the man who was texting me, did he tell the Alpha?

No, if he had told the Alpha our faces would have been plastered everywhere and Alpha Alessandro wouldn't have been talking to us this calmly.

"Hmm." Alpha Alessandro muttered. "I am standing inside your house and I don't see you anywhere."

Cami let out a squeak and clamped her hand across her mouth.

He was in our house? Why was he there?

"Why are you in my house?"

"Why does your house smell like bleach?"

Shit, shit, shit!

What do I do? What do I say?

"I like to keep things in my house clean, Alpha." I blurted out while Cami made a face.

He didn't respond for a long time and I looked at my phone to check whether he had hung up or not. "Alpha, why are you calling my sister?"

"Say my name."

"Er what?" Both Cami and I looked at each other in confusion.

"Say my name." He repeated and I realised that I hadn't misheard him.

I looked at Cami who just shrugged. You are not allowed to call the Alpha by his name and usually there were pretty nasty consequences for doing so. When people talked about them they might say their names but in front of Werewolves we had to use their titles.

Was this some sort of trick?

"We're not allowed to do that." I reminded him, still confused as to why he would want me to do that.

"I'm giving you permission on this occasion."

Why? Also did he want me to say his full name or just his first name?

"Alessandro."

An unrecognisable noise came through the line. "I like the way you say my name."

My mouth swung open when I processed what he said. Was he flirting with me?

Before I could say anything else he continued talking. "I shall see you soon Nala."

He hung up the call and I just sat there staring at my phone. What was that? I had no idea what was going on? Did he know what we did? I feel like he does know but if he knew he wouldn't he have been angry?

He didn't seem angry, he sounded inquisitive as if he was a little confused about something.

"Oh my god Nala! He knows! He's at our house, he knows what I did!" Cami's hysterics pulled me out of my thoughts.

I put the phone on the dashboard and turned around so I was completely facing her. "If he knew what happened he wouldn't have been that calm."

"Why is he at our house then?" Cami argued. "If he didn't know then he wouldn't be at our house."

"That doesn't mean he knows what happened."

"Well, what does it mean?"

That was a good question. Why was he at our house if he didn't know what happened?

I let out a deep sigh. "I don't know but think about it, if he knew the truth do you think he would have spoke to us the way he did? He would have been pissed off and threatening us."

"Your right but it just doesn't make any sense."

I know.

"Don't answer any calls and eat your food, it'll make you feel better." I instructed her as I turned the car on.

"How long until we get to the hotel?"

I glanced at the satnav which showed the quickest route and the time it would take. "We've still got just under four hours left. We'll take another break in a couple of hours."

Cami nodded and I put the music on. I put it on a lot louder than I would have so that it was impossible to have a conversation. Right now all I wanted to do was get us to the hotel as quickly as possible and without reassuring Cami that everything was going to be fine because I couldn't do that, not now when all I kept thinking was how screwed we were.

The truth was I didn't believe what I said to Cami- well I didn't believe all of it. I strongly believed that he had no idea what we had done or else people would have been searching for us, he wouldn't have been so relaxed on the phone but he must know something or else he wouldn't have been at our house.

Did the security tapes show his cousin leaving straight after Cami did? Did he search through other days and not just that day and see how he kept talking to Cami?

Maybe he looked at other security tapes around town and tracked his movement. There were no cameras on our street but there were cameras on all the main roads, did he notice his cousin following Cami?

What about the scent? The Alpha could smell bleach in our house, even though I cleaned up over a week ago. Did that mean he could smell that his cousin was at our house?

I wish I had paid attention to Werewolf studies when I was in school that way I would have had some answers instead of the million questions I seemed to have.

Though I had so many questions and thoughts about what he knew, why he was in our house and how he got Cami's number my mind kept wandering back to the conversation we had.

Why did he want me, a random human to call him by his name? Even Werewolves don't call their Alpha by their name so why did he ask me to?

There's too many unanswered questions and uncertainty about everything but there was one thing I knew for sure, Alpha Alessandro was interested about something and I had to find out what that was.
