The Alpha King's Princess
The Alpha King’s Princess – Chapter 80

He said nothing as he headed to the door. The door closed softly behind him, and while I knew I had won that argument, it didn’t feel like a victory.

I stood and went to the balcony. I watched him get into the jeep. He didn’t even stop to look up. The jeep sped off and away. I tilted my head and went to grab my laptop to pick up my work on tracing Claire’s call. The scent of pastries faded into the background as I set my jaw and tried to replace where the call could have come from.

It was at least an hour later before my stomach demanded more food, and my mood felt so low that I made myself a cup of hot chocolate with extra whipped cream. I spent hours trying everything I could to replace out what I could from the call, but there was nothing. Whatever phone she used was a temporary one. Wherever she’d made, the call had no ambient noise I could use to identify it. It was as silent as the grave.

My gut told me that she was with Francium, but that meant nothing as the investigation by the Interpack Authorities was going nowhere, and he hadn’t appeared anywhere there was a surveillance camera. Even the investigation I had started through Moon Shadow seemed to be at a dead stop.
