Long Awaited Mate Is A Baby novel Chapter 39

I hear her laugh. "I'll explain everything in due time," she answers. "But for now, there's something else I need you to do for me," She pauses, almost like She wants a response from me.

"What is it, Lucy? I'm listening, just spit it out!"

"Careful," she warns. "You aren't in any position to try and command me of anything. Your Alpha power doesn't threaten me,"

What is that supposed to mean?

"Now, listen carefully, Kaden. You aren't going to want to mess up on these instructions. First, I need to you tell your pack that you and my daughter are going on a getaway. You'll be away from pack territory for a few days. Don't tell anyone where you're going. I'll know if you do.

"Then, you and my child need to follow the directions that have been left in the top right drawer of your desk. They will tell you exactly where to go. You have 10 hours to get there. And if these things are not done, exactly like I have instructed, there will be consequences."

My brain is unable to form words. No way is this Lucy talking to me. Maybe she has an evil twin I didn't know about...?

"I still don't understand," My voice sounds way smaller than I mean for it to.

Lucy groans. "Just make sure that you and my daughter are at the place the directions lead you in ten hours, with no one following you or knowing your whereabouts. I'll b watching you," With those final eerie words, the phone does dead, and Lucy is gone.

"Allie!" I scream, running out of my office, practically shifting just to get to her quicker.

I sprint down the stairs, catching sight of her near Jack and John, just like she's supposed to be. At least that much in my life is fine. Now I just have to fix everything else.

"Hey, what's wro-" Allie isn't able to finish her sentence before she's pressed in between my arms tightly. I hold on to her with all the force my body can muster, not wanting to ever let her go. How am I supposed to tell her that her mom is a danger to her?

"Hey," Allie croons softly. She reaches up and runs a sodt hand down the side of my face. "What's wrong?"

I groan and lean down, tucking my head into her shoulder, wanting to push everything away but her and hide. Is that even possible? I want it to be.

"We need to..." I trail off, remembering where I am. Jack and John are right behind us, and though I wish they couldn't, they ca hear everything that I say. I need to play this off somehow. In a way that won't leave them suspicious.

I lift my head again to meet my mates eyes. "Hey," I fumble, forgetting my words as soon as I'm out in the open again.

"What did my mom want?" Allie asks.

I fight quickly with my head to find the words. "She just wanted to tell me that she has set up a vacation for us. Its small, but we are to leave right away,"

I smile, wanting it to look as natural as physically possible. "Yes, everything is perfect. I just need you to watch over the pack while me and my mate are away,"

"How long will you be gone?" Jack asks?

I shrug. Lucy didn't clarify that, and I don't want to give them a date only to come back way later.

"I'm not sure. I don't know how long Allie will want to stay," I lie.

John leans towards me a little and whispers under his breath; "Where are you taking her?"

I shake my head and smile. Again, it's forced.

"Not telling. You might tell her,"

They both roll their eyes, but it's Jack that speaks. "You can trust us! We won't tell her,"

I somehow manage to make a small laugh bust from my chest. It sounds almost natural to me, so I hope it sounds the same to my friend's.
