Chapter Thirty-One

I watched as Alpha Alessandro shoved my phone back into his pocket.

No, no, no, no!

Knowing he was about to hand over my phone to me and I could have spoken to Cami only for it to not happen now was devastating. It was so close, so so close.

"Alessandro." The woman said as she entered the office. She must be part of the Alpha's family, there was no way a random werewolf would barge into his office like that.

"What are you doing here? I told you to stay in your house." The Alpha scolded as he moved away from me and headed towards the woman.

The uninvited woman brushed her dark hair aside and frowned. "I need to know what's going on. Have you found him?"

Were they talking about the Alpha's cousin? Was she...Teresa?

Alpha Alessandro clasped her fragile looking shoulders and squeezed it. "If I find him you will be the first to know."

"There are rumours circulating that you found a lead, someone who might know where he is."

Oh shit, was she talking about me? Is he going to tell her that it was me?

The Alpha shook his head. "They had no relevant information, nothing useful."

The woman let out a long sigh. "I don't understand. Where could he be?"

Standing there awkwardly I watched as they embraced each other. She had to be Teresa or maybe she was Harlan's girlfriend? The thought of him touching another woman sent shivers up my spine, who knows what he did to her and to other women. Cami can't have been the first one he did this too.

"Oh I didn't see you there." The woman laughed slightly as they both pulled away. "Can I get a glass of water please?"

Did she think I worked here? Probably did, it would explain to her why I was in the Alpha's office.

"Um, I can try?" I had no idea where the kitchen was, I faintly remember being told where it was located during the first few days after I got here.

Alpha Alessandro met my gaze and gave me a look that suggested that he thought I was an idiot. "She is not a maid, Teresa."

Teresa. So she was the rapist's sister!

Teresa stared at her cousin, waiting for him to elaborate. "She is a...guest."

Really, a guest? Because I feel more like a prisoner here.

Teresa nodded however there was confusion on her face for a few seconds before she smiled and stretched out her hand. "I am Teresa Aristov."

Clearly my throat, I grasped her hand and shook it. "I'm Nala Ayad."

"Nala." She repeated as she narrowed her eyes slightly.

I tried to pull my hand back but she had a firm hold on it. "Why are you here Nala?"

"Oh, erm...I." I had no idea what to say to her. Do I say, 'oh I've been kidnapped by your cousin who is investigating me about the disappearance of your brother?' I don't think it would go down that well.

"That doesn't concern you Teresa, now let go of the human's hand."

Teresa immediately let go of my hand. "You're screwing a human? That's new."

I must have made a noise, probably a disgusted sound because they both turned to look at me. "Leave, we will continue our conversation later."

I hesitated as I stared back at the Alpha. He was going to give me back my phone before Teresa entered I know it. "Can I have my ph-"
