After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret

Chapter 124

Dalton relaxed slightly, grateful for the shift in topic. "Yes, I'm here to discuss a partnership with the head of STARLINE Studios."

Before the conversation could continue, Linda interjected, as if remembering something.

"Dalton, I'm actually launching a fashion brand soon," she said with an easy smile. "If you're interested, perhaps we could collaborate."

Dalton's heart leaped at the opportunity. A chance to work closely with Linda? He didn't need to think twice. "I'd be honored," he said immediately.

But as soon as the words left his mouth, a hint of unease settled in his chest.

*Would Arnold see this as a provocation?*

After all, werewolves were notoriously possessive of their mates. Even if Arnold had never publicly acknowledged Linda as his, Dalton knew that there were certain unspoken boundaries when it came to pack dynamics.

Yet Arnold's reaction was unreadable. He merely nodded, his demeanor as calm as ever. If he felt anything about Dalton's sudden involvement with Linda's business, he didn't show it.

The tension ebbed slightly, and the evening carried on without incident.

After dinner, they stepped outside the restaurant to part ways. Dalton intended to return to his hotel, while Linda and Alex were preparing to leave as well.

Alex, however, had grown bored. He fidgeted beside Linda, glancing around idly, when suddenly his eyes widened.

Breaking free from Linda's grasp, he took a few quick steps forward, straining to see past the bustling crowd.

"I think I saw Mommy again!" he blurted.

Linda reached out swiftly, pulling him back with a gentle but firm grip. Without looking in the direction he was pointing, she said smoothly, "The driver is waiting for us. Let's go."

Alex hesitated, his little brows furrowing. He looked again, scanning the faces in the crowd, but this time, he couldn't spot her. Maybe he really had imagined it.
