Chapter 115: Chapter 115
The next morning, Greg's double life had to be lived as well, so we got ready and headed for the car. I was behind Greg when I saw a strange man walking towards him and Greg nodded.
" Baby I'll be right back."
I frowned, who was this man? And why Greg has to meet him in apartheid. What is he hiding from me? After thinking like that, I retracted, it's me who asks that when I'm in a secret factory. Honestly Sophia, I knew you were egocentric, but now you've just unlocked a new level.
I shook my head letting him finish his conversation but like a hair in the soup, Jessy had to call me. This guy, I think he's trying to get me caught at all costs. How can he afford to call me at this hour? In fact, how can he just call me? He could just send me a message, but no, he has to put me in delicate situations. I imagine if Greg had been by my side. I sighed, deciding to listen anyway to what he had to say.
" Yes?"
# Hello sweetie.
I felt a long shiver of horror run down my spine as I wanted to punch this guy. Why does he always manage to spoil my mood when in the end, he doesn't do much harm? But I can't help it, I still feel a kind of aversion towards him and I wonder if it's not the feelings of my inner wolf that are expressed in this way. I sighed before deciding to cut the crap.
" What do you want?"
I especially wonder what's got into me to always take his calls, I must have a problem.
# Don't be like this to me just because these people have already brainwashed you.
" Don't talk about me like a brainless kid. I have my convictions and I don't let myself be easily influenced."
I heard a chuckle on the other end of the line and felt particularly insulted. Jessy is laughing at me and I don't like it. He's always been like that, saying petty things here and there and throwing downright hurtful words at me. I always feel angry every time we talk. But like a fucking masochist I keep picking up his calls and accepting his encounters.
"Think what you want. What do you want this time?"
# Your grandfather wants to meet you.
My heart skipped a beat, the last time Greg had arrived and luckily that man hadn't come, otherwise, Greg would already know the truth about me. I pursued my lip not knowing what to do, I had decided to approach them and sabotage their plans, but now that the opportunity has been given to me, I feel like all my courage has just been sucked away. It's so frustrating I want to scream.
# SO?
I don't even have time to think that he's already putting sick pressure on me. In short, when you have to go, you have to go.
" Well, when does he want it? While hoping that it will not be like the last time."
# He had an unexpected after all he is fighting for a just cause, righting the wrongs that our pack has suffered because of this pack you are in. Sophia, your grandfather is a great man, thanks to him we have hope and that's something we had lost because of this pack. Sophia, you have to think about the pack, about your parents. The individual does not count, only the pack counts.
I frowned at this bullshit.
" Is that why you sacrificed innocent people for your cause? You kidnapped humans, and creatures, and turned them into monsters unleashing them in the city. In the name of What justice did you do this? It's horrible what you're doing, nothing can justify an outpouring of such horror."
I heard a long, deep sigh from the other side as Jessy resumed.
#You are very naive. It's a little disappointing but I'll put it in the context of your youth. You are far too young to understand the greatness of Master André's projects. He does it not just for the pack, but also for our whole species, for the creatures who must live marginalized. Baby, you know how badly we live this imposition of secrecy. We have to hide our nature from humans and confuse ourselves with them, how humiliating it can be. Master André wants this to stop.
" By killing innocent people? In short, I understood, as soon as the moment is chosen, I will come to the rendezvous."
# Good.. hmm Sophia?
" What's up again?"
# I miss you. I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again outside the tumult of our pack... I want you to understand my feelings.
I was stunned, is he serious? He knows that I am already bound to another but why does he insist so much? I don't understand and I don't want to. Jessy begins to be delirious.
I decided to hang up immediately, not wanting to listen to his nonsense anymore, but as soon as I closed my cell phone, I felt a threatening presence behind me. I jumped, turning around to find Greg staring at me with enigmatic eyes.
" Who it was?"
I swallowed, did he follow the tenor of the call? I don't know how long he's been standing there. I sighed not knowing what to answer him. With the pile of lies, I've already piled up, one more and one less wouldn't hurt, would it? But what should I say as lying is the problem? My whole life revolves around Greg. Before I could tell my alpha that Greg called and Greg that it was my alpha. But since the two are one person, my choices are narrowed. If I say it's Pamela, it'll ring even more false since she's asleep up there. Who else? Shit I don't know nobody, what lie would pass?
" Hm... Wrong number."
So stupid but it's my best option.
I saw Greg raise an eyebrow before he just walked over to the car pulling me in with him.
" And you? Who was this man?"
" My assistant."
" I thought it was Elias."
" Elias is Rayan's assistant. Mine being always in the missions that I give him, I needed to have another man of confidence on hand."
I nodded before feeling Greg's hand squeeze my back hard. I heard a long, lamenting sigh as I looked up at Greg.
I felt my body being pulled into a tight embrace.
" Baby, please trust me."
I gasped in surprise realizing that Greg knows I'm lying to him. I gritted my teeth before lifting my face to his.
" It's... It's Jessy who called me…"
