Bonded to My Ex’s Alpha Brother

Chapter 209

Frin’s POV

‘Alex, I repeated, frowning slightly. I’d never heard Derek mention anyone by that name, and it seemed strange that a wolf of his apparent status wouldn’t be known to me.

Before I could ask anything else, a hotel employee rushed forward to help with my bags. I thanked “Alex” once more and entered the lobby, still puzzled by the mysterious man.

“Miss!‘ The receptionist called out as I crossed the lobby. “You’re finally here! We’ve been worried.”

“Is Derek in our room?” I asked hopefully.

“No, he left about an hour ago,” she replied. “But we’ll notify him immediately that you’ve arrived. He’s been asking about you.”

My heart sank a little, but I thanked her and headed up to our suite, determined to make everything perfect before Derek returned.

Once inside the suite, I plugged in my dead phone and began decorating. I arranged the scented candles around the cake on the dining table and scattered more throughout the bedroom. The fairy lights went around the headboard of the bed, creating a soft, romantic glow.

Satisfied with the decorations, I went to unpack my other purchases and realized with horror that the tie I’d bought for Derek was missing. I searched frantically through all the bags, but it was nowhere to be found.

“No, no, no, I muttered, retracing my steps mentally. I must have left it in Alex’s car when I transferred my bags. But I had no way to contact him–I didn’t even know his full name or which pack he belonged to.

Frustrated with myself, I checked my now–charged phone and was overwhelmed by the flood of notifications–dozens of missed calls and messages from both my mother and Derek.

1 quickly messaged my mother first: [I’m fine, Mom. Just had some phone issues. I’m back at the hotel now.]

Then I scrolled through Derek’s messages, my stomach tightening as I read them:

[Where are you?]

[Why aren’t you at the hotel?]

[Why is your phone turned off?]

[You’re such a careless girl!]

II will find you and punish you. Wait for me.]

The last message had been sent three hours ago. I quickly typed a response: [Alpha, I’m at the hotel, don’t worry. I’m fine.] Then added: [Derek, can you come to the hotel right away?]

1 called his number, my heart pounding. He answered, but didn’t speak.

Derek? Where are you?” I asked. “I’m back at the hotel.

The line went dead. He’d hung up on me.

I stared at the phone, my heart racing. Was he angry? Worried? Both? The silence felt more ominous than his threatening texts.

Pushing aside my concerns, I decided to continue with my plan. I showered quickly and slipped into the sparkling dress, applying makeup more carefully than I ever had before. Looking in the mirror, I felt self–conscious about the revealing neckline but pleased with the overall effect.

I lit all the candles in both the bedroom and living room, creating a warm, intimate atmosphere. The cake waited on the table, surrounded by flickering candlelight.
