Chained By The Alpha Jessica Hall

Chapter 42 Zayn~

"I figured the same thing, but how would she explain handing those photos over to her step father?"

"I don't think they're for Cleo's father, perhaps Alpha Dane? Joseph had a meeting with Alpha Dane earlier, they were spotted at the public library. Alpha Dane wont accept her if she isn't a virgin, you know how religious his pack is." I press my lips in a line, the bastard was serious about marrying her off

"TI handle it, somehow." I shake my head, annoyed at just the thought of her marrying anyone else

"Are you gonna tell her?" Vance asks, and I sigh

"No. I don't want to put her at risk while she doesn't have her wolf, she'll have every Alpha after her trying to use her against me," I remind him. I wish this wasn't the case, but right now it's the only choice we have

"Yeah, dad made sure to make a lot of enemies the last few years." I nod sadly. The weight of the past, heavy on my shoulders

"TI figure it out, Boyd won't be getting his hands on her, I will kill him and declare war before I allow him to marry my mate," I growl in annoyance

"We'll, I'm off to check border patrols, I will organize some men on her borders and tell them to keep their distance, and to remain on neutral

territory." I nod, waving him off while I ponder what to do about the marriage alliance Alpha Joseph has planned for his daughter. There is no way I will allow her to marry anyone else

I must have dozed off at some point because I wake to my notification ringtone blaring. It takes me a few seconds to come to my senses and shut it off, only to see I have a message from Cleo

"Is she okay?" Zarek, my wolf asks, stirring awake at the thought of her. He presses beneath my skin and I open the message

Cleo: 'Deacon is missing. Can you check the club's footage from last night? Maybe it can help us find out where he went.'

I groan, sick of hearing about the weasel but quickly reply if it means seeing her again. I may

Just watch her boundaries myself if it means being close to her all the time. I quickly type my reply and hit send

Me: 'Deacon is missing? I saw him last night before I left. He was dancing with Lydia. I can meet you at the club later, and we can go over the footage together.'

Cleo replies almost instantly, agreeing to meet me at my club at 7 PM. Smiling to myself I check the time, I still have hours and decide to go shower, check on work and follow up on emails while I wait

Heading upstairs to my room I grab some clothes, my wolf pressing excitedly beneath my skin urging me faster, and I roll my eyes

"Your eagerness will scare her off Zarek," I warn him, but he ignores me. Hopping in the

shower I have just started washing myself when I hear my phone again

I step out of the shower, drying off and then reaching for my phone to see another message from Cleo

Cleo: How about now? I'm headed to your club

My brows furrow in confusion wondering what happened, but I need to sort a few things out first

Me: What happened? We agreed on 7 PM. I have to stop by and check my brother has sorted your borders out before heading into the city

I send back only for her reply to come back almost instantly

Cleo: That's fine, I will wait for you there. See you at 7

I stare at the screen in confusion

"Something happened," Zarek chimes 1n and I nod in agreement. Maybe her father found out about where she was last night. That thought has me wondering if she 1s okay

Me: I'll get there as soon as possible, meet me at the bar

Cleo sends me back a thumbs up. I don't like the idea of her being at the club by herself, but I'll message the staff to keep an eye on her. We have a function there tonight for one of the packs

Drying myself quickly, I get dressed then mindlink Vance. "Did you sort out Cleo's borders? I was going to stop by before heading into the city, but something must have happened, Cleo 1s heading there now." I tell

him

"Almost I am struggling with numbers, most are running rampant with the other packs, but I'm moving numbers around. I will have to man the doors at the club tonight for the Claymore pack event. I need to send Michael in, most are refusing since Joseph isn't in agreement. But Michael agreed to go," Vance tells me, and I nod along before Zarek speaks up

"Claymore, that's Alpha Dane's pack, right?" Zarek asks, cutting through the mindlink. I nod to him before recognition of his words hits me

"Fuck, I gotta go. That means Boyd will be at the club." I tell Vance before cutting the mindlink. Snatching my phone, I try calling Cleo to tell her to meet somewhere else or to come here, but I get no answer. With a growl, I snatch my keys up and jog downstairs.

presses beneath my skin, urging me faster

"He better not think about touching our mate," Zarek grumbles at me as I jam the keys in the ignition. I tear out of the pack territory and onto the highway heading toward the city only to come to a screeching stop when I see cars lined up and smoke ahead. "Fuck!" peering out the window I realize it's a car accident. I reach for my phone only to find I have no reception here

Great, just fucking great
