Chapter 938: Chapter 123- Reece – ssage From Clovio (VOLU 5)
~~
Reece
~~
It was after eight that night that I noticed that I had a ssage from Clovio. I hadn’t saved his number in my phone so it went unnoticed for a little while. I feel bad about that, since the kid wasn’t that bad. He was a little shit, don’t get wrong, but that was only because he tried to date my daughter. Other than that, he seed to be a pretty stand up guy. There was reason to trust him at least. And we were going to be working with him and his friend for the ti being.
“Shit.” I said when I noticed the ssage was from him. All of the kids were off doing things on their own. They weren’t going to be going to school for the ti being, so they didn’t need to do their howork or get to bed early. They would still be studying though. At least the younger ones. I was going to call in a tutor to help them while they were out of school. I didn’t want them to fall behind. Zachary, Zander, Zayden and Zaley were only in the fifth grade; they couldn’t afford to miss these important foundational steps in learning. Or at least, that was what I had been told.
“What’s the matter Reece?” My Little Bunny called out to from across the room. “Did sothing happen?”
“I got a ssage from Clovio earlier. I hadn’t noticed it until just now.
.....
“What does it say?”
[Clovio]
I am eting my friends tonight just after dark in the sa park that you and I were in earlier. Would love for you to co with .
I read the ssage for her and tried to think about it for a mont.
“He’s writing it like it’s for Rika, but it’s for . I think he’s scared.” I looked at the window. “If only I could have seen it sooner, I could have hidden in the park and caught the others. I think that was what he wanted to do.”
“Probably.” She ca over to sit on the couch with . We were in our room, the first alone ti that we had gotten today. “Should you still go?”
“Let text him back.” I started to ssage him but was stopped almost imdiately.
“Wait. You’re not a girl, you don’t know how to text him properly.” She took the phone out of my hand and started to type a response.
“Like you can do better than .” I glared at her playfully.
“Well, Reece, unlike you, I am a woman. And I used to be a girl that was Rika’s age once. A long ti ago, but that isn’t the point. You need to make this sound like it’s coming from his girlfriend. Not the angry father of that girlfriend.” She was still typing the entire ti that she spoke to , never once taking her eyes off of the screen.
“I am the angry father of that forr girlfriend of his.” I growled at her. “So, I wouldn’t be acting.”
“And that, my dear sweet Reece, is the problem. You wouldn’t type this right.” She sent the ssage and looked up at . “Done. This should suffice. It’s conveying that she is still upset about her dad telling her she can’t see him, but that she misses him. I told her that you were caught up with other work and just said the ssage, but you will head over now if he still wants to see you.”
“Blech.” I pretended to gag. “You’re making it sound like I am the one in the relationship with that boy.” I felt my skin crawl and wanted to vomit all at the sa ti. “That is so creepy.”
“I know. You’re cheating on , Reece. How dare you? And with that pathetic teenage boy at that.” She laughed at then, causing to just shudder again.
“Eww.”
“Ha ha ha. Stop being so overly dramatic.” She laughed at . “Look, he’s texted back.” We both looked at the screen.
[Clovio}
I am happy that you are still willing to co, but the eting is almost over. I will talk to you later. Sorry to bother you when you were busy.
At that, my Little Bunny started to text him back again. I was reading the text over her shoulder. She told him to call later if he needed to. Not that I wanted to have a secret late night conversation with that boy, but we needed to know everything that we could. He was spying for us now, instead of his family. And anything that he was able to tell us would help.
“I think that I am going to go to the park anyway. I will take Noah and so of the others with . We can search the park for clues and possibly follow their scents back to where they are staying. It’s a step in the right directions at the very least.”
“If you think that would be best, then go ahead. I won’t stop you.” She leaned in and kissed my cheek. “I have a feeling that this is all going to happen really fast really soon. I don’t want to rush it, but I think that is going to happen no matter what we do. It’s inevitable.”
“I agree. This is all going to start getting really busy and exciting for all of us. We’re going to need to stay on top of our ga. I don’t want to miss a thing with the rest of this investigation. And I will not accept failure in this mission. We need to save those girls, and all the others in our kingdom.” I felt the conviction coursing through . I wasn’t going to let anyone else die. Not when I knew where the murders were at the current mont. OK, I didn’t know their exact location, but I knew that they were in the city right now. I would track them down no matter what it took.
As I left my room, I sent a ntal ssage to Noah, Carter, Trevor, Landon, Riley and Valerian. I told them that we were going to be heading to the park to search for the scent and to see if those n were still there. If we could capture one of them tonight, then maybe we could hunt them down before those girls were lured into the trap in two nights. If not, we would wait until they were taken there and save them the mont that they were at the park. That would likely be the best option. We would at least catch five of them at once that way. And with the others helping us, we would be able to hide ourselves. They wouldn’t see us coming when the ti ca.
I got ssages back from the others almost imdiately. They all agreed to et in the garage so that we could leave right away. And it was on the way down there that I saw Westin. He ca running up to and I noticed that he was not in the best of moods.
“Reece, I know that you are busy, but I need to talk to you.”
“What is it, Westin?” I gave him the go ahead to talk. There was still ti before I had to et the others.
“I..I want to leave the castle. I know that I have duties here and all that, but I need to get away for a little while.” He looked like sothing had truly hurt him.
“What happened?” I knew that it had to be big for him to do this. He was a loyal guard that never once wanted to leave his post. Now he was wanting to go away like he was running away from sothing. “Talk to Westin, what happened?”
“I..I t my mate, b..but it didn’t go well.”
“What do you an that it didn’t go well?” He was not making sense to . What could have happened.
“She doesn’t feel the bond. It’s like I am the only one that is mated. Sh..she doesn’t want at all. She wants to be with soone else. I don’t think that I can stand to be around that for right now. I..I want to leave for now. I want to see if so ti away from will help her. If not, then I will leave again. I can’t stand the way that it feels, seeing her with soone else.”
“Yeah, I get it man. I am sorry that happened to you. If you think getting away for a little while will help, I can send you to another region for the ti being. You can help with the Alphas in Europe or sothing. I know that the ones in Wales will be happy to have you. They need so help getting so organization between them as well.”
“Yeah, that sounds good. I will leave right away.”
“I don’t want to send you right away. I want to have you here for the ti being, to help with the case. I think that this might co down to a battle. Until then though, you can change up your schedule so that you don’t have to see the woman in question. I won’t ask who it is right now. I don’t want to interfere with your relationship if I co across her. Just know that I support you, OK.” I wasn’t going to force him to be around a woman that didn’t want him. That would be truly painful for him. I rember when I thought I would never get my Little Bunny to love . That was the worst feeling in the world.
“Thank you, Reece. I appreciate that more than you will ever know.” He looked relieved but also even more downtrodden when he said that. I could tell that he was feeling both sides of the situation right now. It couldn’t be easy dealing with sothing like this. I didn’t bla him one bit for running away right now.
I watched him leaving the hall for a mont. It brought back way too many mories for . I was rembering the ti that I stupidly told my mate that I hated her and saw the heartbreak in her eyes. That led to thinking that she would never accept again. That I would never, no matter what I did, have a chance to win her heart. It was hard for , but that had been my own fault. This wasn’t Westin’s fault though. So, it had to be even harder on him. Knowing who your mate is and having her reject you for no reason. I knew that he was a good guy and hadn’t told her that he hated her. This was not his fault at all. Poor Westin.
