Alpha’s Virgin Stripper

Lake:

She moved out two days ago. Two long days ago! The man’s words continued to echo in my ears even as I found my way to my car. I pulled the door open, surprised it did not rip off from its hinges. I flung myself into my car and settled into the white leather seat. I could see my driver’s eyes on me. He knew that I was not very pleased with the answer I had gotten.

“Casino, fast,” I said out loud. I had to go to the casino to see the girls. They were the last people from Rush Empire who had seen her. Surely, Jojo must have said something to any of them, if not all of them. The girls were very close, especially she and Ashley. Even if no one else knew where she was, Ashley would know. Ashley just had to know.

We drove to the casino building and I did not wait for the driver or the doorman to open the door for me. I unlocked the door and pushed it open before I started to take swift and sturdy steps into the glass door of the high-rise building. I walked past the doormen and they bowed to me. I did not flash my receptionist a polite smile and I did not reply to anyone’s greeting. There was only one thought I had in my mind, and that was to find Jojo Wyatt.

Why was I looking for her? You might ask. See, here’s the thing. Frankly, I did not know. I only knew that I had to see her because the pain I felt from not doing so was going to tear me into pieces if care is not taken. I walked into the elevator and directed it to the floor of the girl’s training room. I did not know if they would still be at training since it was already far into the afternoon, but it did not matter. If they were not training, I would ask Bentley to send for every one of them.

I stepped into the corridor after the elevator door had parted ways. I headed straight towards the door of their training room and pushed the twin metal doors apart. My hands were firmer than usual, and my jaw was harder than it often was. I found my way into the dance hall and I found Ashley stretching beside a pole. I looked around and found that she was the only one there.

When she looked up from the stage and her eyes found me, I noticed how she sprang up to her feet with a weird urgency, as though she knew something I did not know. Perhaps it was because she did.

I narrowed my eyes at her and began my journey to the stage, where she stood with her gaze fixed on the ground and her hands behind her back. I studied her carefully, making sure that I took note of every gesture and eye movement.

“Greetings, alpha.” She spoke up, her tone tried to be sturdy, but I could hear the faint wobble in them.

“Ashley. You are just the woman I was looking for.” I masked the anger and urgency in my voice and replaced it with a carefree smile and a polite tone. Her eyes traveled from the wooden floor of the stage and landed on mine. She seemed uneasy, I knew that was a normal thing. But I needed to catch her off guard in such a way that she would be forced to say the truth, even though I did not know what the truth was.

“May I ask what for, alpha?”NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

I chuckled. I planted myself in front of the stage and slipped my hands into my pockets.

“You and the girls did go out to see Jojo Wyatt some days ago, did you not?” I asked, arching my left brow.

She nodded and returned her gaze to the ground.

“It’s been a week, but yes. We did go to see her on the night her things were being… shipped away.” She replied to me. I could hear the accusation and malice in her voice, but I ignored it.

“She moved away from her apartment, the place where she used to live with her family. I need to know where she is and I believe you can help me.”

Ashley looked up at me. Shock clouded her gaze first, before disbelief, and disappointment followed almost immediately.

“I’m afraid I cannot be of any help, alpha. The last time we spoke to Jojo was at a restaurant she worked, I do not know where she lived, I never did. I certainly do not know where she is now.” Ashley replied to me. Both her voice and her tone were expressionless. Her face was void of any emotion and so was her stance.

I did not want to believe her. Jojo could not have disappeared into thin air without letting her know!

“But you did know she was moving out, did you not?” I probed further, but her stance remained the same.

“She said nothing of the sort at that time. Perhaps she did, but we were all too drunk to keep anything into memory.” She replied bluntly.

I knew she was telling the truth about being drunk. Neil had been there to watch them.

I heaved a sigh, sucked in a deep breath, and exhaled. I was trying to suppress the anger that was growing in me, boiling and bubbling in the pit of my stomach, but my efforts were proving forlorn.

“You are sure that she did not speak of her whereabouts to you, Ashley? You do not want to lie to me, that’s a fact.”

Ashley’s eyes narrowed on me. As though my words had ignited something in her.

“My apologies, alpha. But I am at a loss for words right now. You were the same person who threw her out of this establishment, so why are you looking for her? Jojo has done nothing wrong. If you’re looking for something to pin on her again, she’s done nothing wrong.”

She was angry, I could see it. It was no use trying to reason with an angry woman.

“No one must know of this conversation,” I replied curtly. She said nothing in return. I turned away from her and headed towards the door.

I pulled out my phone from my pocket and placed a call across to Neil.

He picked on the first ring. I inhaled and exhaled to mask the real tone of my voice.

“Comb every street in Rush pack and find Jojo Wyatt.”
