Bonded to My Ex's Alpha Brother (by CalebWhite) novel Chapter 226

Im just a businessman here to learn.” Alex replied smoothly. “I’ve heard the Darkwood Pack Alpha is quite talented in business

My heart leapt at the mention of Derek. Are you going to meet him? We could go see him now! I offered enthusiastically, then immediately regretted my eagerness. I piessed my lips together, embarrassed by my obvious reaction.

Alex studied me with renewed interest. What’s he like in person?

I couldn’t help the small smile that formed on my lips as I thought about Derek. When he walks past someone, they can feel his authority.”

“Everyone?” Alex prompted.

“Except those he trusts, I added softly, remembering how Derek’s intimidating presence melted away when we were alone together at least. when he wasn’t angry with me.

Alex chuckled. “Sounds like you’re quite the loyal fan.”

Before I could respond, my phone rang. It was Derek. I answered immediately, my heart racing.

“Hello, mate,” I said, my voice softening automatically. From the corner of my eye, I saw Alex’s smile fade as he watched me intently.

“Where are you?” Derek’s deep voice came through the speaker, concern evident beneath his controlled tone.

I’m on my way home. What’s wrong?” I twisted the hem of my shirt with my free hand, nervous about why he was calling.

“I sent a driver for you. He said you weren’t at the office.”

My heart warmed at the knowledge that despite his anger, he’d still thought to arrange transportation for me. He did care, in his own way. I felt tears forming in my eyes, and I blinked rapidly to keep them from falling.

“I’m sorry,” I said, my voice slightly shaky. “Please don’t be angry with me. I won’t talk to Bradley again. I promise.”

There was a pause, then, “Hmm.”

I held my breath, waiting. My knuckles turned white from gripping the phone too hard.

I’ll release your brother tomorrow,” Derek said finally.

Joy surged through me. “Really? Thank you so much!” I couldn’t help the wide smile that spread across my face. Aaron would be free tomorrow!

“Be careful on your way home,” he instructed. “Call me when you get there.”

“I will,” I promised, ending the call with a lighter heart than I’d had all day.

“Who’s Bradley?‘ Alex asked immediately.

I turned to him, annoyed at his eavesdropping “How much of my conversation did you hear?”

“All of it, of course,” he replied unapologetically. “We’re in a car, sitting together. You’re talking to another man, and his voice was loud enough to reach my ears.”

“You have no right to ask me anything.” A said firmly. “You haven’t even told me who you really are.”

Suddenly, the car lurched to a stop, throwing me forward. Alex’s arm shot out, catching me against his chest before I could hit the seat in front of me. I found myself pressed against him, his arm strong around my shoulders.

I can see that.” Alex murmured, almost to himself.

As we approached my neighborhood, I pulled one of my business cards from my purse. “If you ever need any help, you can contact me. I’ll do

what I can.

Alex took the card, his eyebrows rising as he read it. “Derek Stone’s personal secretary?”

I nodded, unable to hide the pride in my voice despite everything. “I could arrange a meeting with Alpha Derek for you, if you’d like.”
