Nanny and the Alpha Daddy

#Chapter 181: A Dangerous Place

Moana

Once I saw Olivia leave through the coffee shop window, I waited five minutes before leaving myself and walking in the opposite direction. We had planned to leave separately like this just in case anyone was waiting for me outside; at the very least, I could make up a convincing story that Olivia and I didn’t recognize each other at all, and it was likely that no one would ask too many questions.

As I walked, I couldn’t stop thinking about everything she had just told me. It felt as though the entire world that I had come to know over the past few months had been completely turned upside down, and I didn’t know what to do. If it was true that I was the Golden Wolf, then that meant that I was already in enough danger of being hunted as it was. Not only that, but if Edrick already knew that I was the Golden Wolf, then he was deliberately keeping it from me. And, judging from everything that I had learned recently, I knew why he was keeping it from me.

However, I still had no way of knowing for sure. I hardly knew Olivia, and although she seemed genuine, I still didn’t know for sure if I could completely trust her. I decided that before I would jump to any rash conclusions, I would have to do some digging of my own. Until I did that, though, at least my wolf had regained some of her energy and I could talk to her now.

“What did you think about all of that?” I asked my wolf as I walked down the sunny street toward the penthouse. “What about the part where she said that he might be lying about being my mate?”

“I’m not sure yet,” Mina replied. She still sounded a little sleepy, but she was lucid at least. “I think I’m still a little too foggy from the potions to be able to think clearly. I need a little more time.”

I still had no way of knowing. I couldn’t read Edrick’s mind, or anyone else’s, for that matter. And although part of me felt silly for thinking that Edrick would ever want to hurt me, I couldn’t help but wonder if the kind, sweet part of Edrick was just

a bit of a wry chuckle. “I’m the one who doesn’t understand how dangerous the city is? I grew up here, Edrick. I didn’t live in a fancy palace outside of the city like you did, without a real care in the world. I’m the one who has spent her whole life living here, so I think I know the city
