“Natalia…” I say anxiously.

“It’s me…”

There is a long silence on the other side and I find myself holding my breath as I wait for a response.

“How did you get this number?” Natalia growls, her voice seething with contempt and hatred.

“How do you have Nikki’s phone?”

I look over at the nervous she-wolf beside me, Nikki biting her nails anxiously as I try to find the words to explain.It’s taken me over a week to gain Micah and Nikki’s trust and even longer to find the courage to call Natalia and explain her predicament.

“I’ll explain later,” I reply, my hands shaking as they hold the phone to my ear.

“We need to talk-”

“We have nothing to talk about,” she snarls, the venom potent in her voice.

“Nat, I-”

“Do not call me that!” she spits back.

“In fact, don’t call me at all.You lost that privilege a long time ago.Whatever it is, leave me out of it.I don’t care.”

“He knows about Dakota!” I cry desperately before she can hang up the phone and she gasps, the fear evident in her voice.

“What did you say?” I sigh in relief now that I have her attention.

“He knows about Dakota.He knows you have a son, Luna-”

“Don’t call me that!” She shrieks into the phone.

“Sorry,”I mutter apologetically.

Ignoring him would seem too suspicious so I gather my thoughts quickly before answering. “Yes, Alpha?” I say into the speaker. “Do you have my mate?” He asks without saying hello.
