“I know we haven’t met yet,” I said, sticking out my hand. “But I was one of the alphas who helped rescue your daughter from the OBC.”
She shook my hand.
“That horrible place,” she sighed. “Thank you for saving my daughter. You must be Sergio, that Ian was telling me about.”
“You have a good memory,” I said, smiling.
“Come inside, please,” she said, and I followed her into her home. Two of her alphas were sitting on the couch, conversing, and one in the kitchen. They stopped talking upon seeing me.
“Who’s this?” asked one of them gruffly, standing in front of his omega. “Jade, you can’t just let anyone in.”
“It’s okay, Caleb,” she said hastily. “This is Sergio.”
“Hello, Sergio,” said Caleb, immediately shaking my hand with an iron grip, and upon releasing my hand, my fingers nearly fell off. “It’s nice to meet you, Sergio. What can we do for you?”
“I wanted to check on Olivia,” I said, getting straight to the point. I was worried about her.
“She’s off on a hiking trip with her friends,” said her mother, and I raised my eyebrows perplexed.What would she be doing out camping right now?
“I’m glad she’s out enjoying herself,” I said. It was better than her laying in bed all day like she usually did, and it hurt me to see her that way.
“We’re hoping it’ll help her,” she said.
“Are you mated to an omega yet?” Caleb asked me, business-like. “I run a dating agency.”
“No, I’m not mated,” I said. “And not interested.”
“But interested in my daughter? Hopefully, the baby isn’t yours then,” he said.
“What baby?” I asked in alarm, sitting up straighter on the couch. “Is she pregnant?”
“We think she is, but she refuses to take a pregnancy test,” her mom sighed, and she looked annoyed at her husband. “Caleb, you don’t have to tell the whole world about it.”
“Just checking to see if he’s the father,” he growled, watching me closely.
“Listen, I have no idea about this,” I said, my heart pounding faster. She could be pregnant withmybaby. “Where exactly did she go? I need to find her.”
“Howl’s Mount Park,” said Caleb, and Jade glared at him.
“Why are you telling him everything?”
“He’s our daughter’s mate,” said Caleb with a smirk, leaning back on the couch. “I can tell he cares deeply for her, and he’ll do anything for her. Isn’t that right, Sergio?”
“I don’t know about us being mates,” I said, breathing hard at the thought of Olivia being my omega. He was a matchmaker and could probably sense it. But I wasn’t going to give him that satisfaction. “But Idocare for her, and I want to make sure she’s safe.”
“It was your scent outside our home ever since she got back, isn’t that right?”
Fuck. He knew I was the creeper alpha. No wonder he freaked out on his wife for bringing me into their home.
“Yes…it was.”
I stood up from the couch, not sure if he was going to punch me or straight up kick me out of the house. I deserved it for breaking up with their daughter.Had Liv told them anything about us?
“Go after her son. You have my blessings,” said Caleb, winking at me.
“Caleb, what are you doing?” said Jade indignantly. “You can’t do this to our daughter. She has a say, too.”
“I’m not going to do anything to her,” I reassured her, heading to the door. “I just want to check on her.”
