Chapter 42 The Recording

Aubrey’s POV

+8 Pearls

Alpha Henry didn’t speak to my dad. He didn’t even stand up. But my dad wasn’t angry–in fact, he seemed relieved. I understood. He was just a gamma. He’d always gone out of his way to avoid the powerful aura that came with an alpha.

On the way home, I got out of the car and bought a phone. Then I told Dad, “Take me to the Miguel family’s old estate.”

“What for?” he asked, puzzled. “The alpha isn’t staying there.”

That was exactly why I wanted to go.

It was my own fault–I had been too quick to mention the recording device to Alpha Henry. I’d forgotten that while it did contain Mariana’s request for me to make drugs, it also held other things. Things that must never reach Alpha Henry’s ears–those foolish, love–soaked monologues from my teenage years.

On the way there, I gave Ella a brief rundown of the situation. She seemed calm and unbothered, which helped put me at ease too. One way or another, I’d awakened my wolf. Sooner or later, I’d fully harness alpha–level power.

When we arrived at the old estate, Dad waited in the car while I went in alone.

Adelyn was delighted to see me! She clearly didn’t know those two bastards had been acting on Bailey’s orders. If she had, she would’ve stood up for me and made Bailey pay. Clearly, Charles had used his power to bury the incident–for the sake of the Lynn family’s reputation, and for Bailey’s.

I smiled and let it go. I had no intention of using the dinner party incident against Bailey. Once the truth came out, people would be more interested in whether or not I had been violated than in the actual truth.

“My phone fell into the garden near the second house when I was running that night,” I said. “Ca. u help me look for it? There’s something important in it.”

Adelyn agreed right away with a smile.
