The Alpha King is unavailable 219

The Presidential Suite was luxurious beyond anything I'd experienced in years. Plush carpets,

elegant furniture, a bathroom larger than my entire cottage kitchen.

I ran my fingers along the marble countertop, feeling strangely detached from my

surroundings. The day with Lucas had been... nice. For brief moments, I'd forgotten the

crushing weight of grief that had become my constant companion.

life was

still shattered. And no amount of go-kart racing or luxury accommodations could change that.

I filled the enormous bathtub with hot water, adding the lavender bath salts provided by the

hotel. My muscles ached from the day's activities, unaccustomed to so much movement after

months of grief-induced lethargy.

As I was about to undress, my phone rang with a video call from an unknown number. I

almost ignored it, but something-intuition perhaps-made me answer.

The screen remained black for several seconds. Then a voice spoke, distorted and

unrecognizable.
