Chapter 134
Reid: What did you do?
Her response is almost immediate.
Chloe: What do you mean?
Reid: Logan is more irritable than usual. You had to have done something.
Reid waits in silence, barely paying attention to how the pack’s internal security is going to be upgraded. His gaze remains trained on the screen, gnawing at the inside of his cheek, the effect from the alcohol slowly wearing off as his conversation with Chloe sobers him up.
Chloe: This doesn’t concern you. Mind your own business, Reid, I mean it.
Reid scoffs. The room’s attention turns to him. He looks up and finally notices that people have begun to pack up their belongings, slowly leaving the room.
“Do you have anything to add?” Logan asks with a displeased look on his face.
“No,” Reid shakes his head, forcing a small and fake smile on his face.
He stands from the spot at the table, having brought nothing but his phone. He is about ready to leave when his brother’s voice
catches his attention.
“get me at least two Delta bodyguards for her,” he whispers to his beta, “and send them to the house at once. They do not leave her side, no matter what, do you understand?”
Well, Reid thanks to himself, that is certainly interesting.
The man quickly exit the conference room, not wanting to draw attention to himself as he leaves after lingering for far too long. He walks down the hallway and finds refuge in the stairwell that leads down to where his own office is. Reid pulls out his phone once again and moves back to his conversation with Chloe.
Reid: Why is my brother heightening security around Emily?
Chloe: Is he? That’s useful information to give me.
Reid: What the fuck are you doing to make them get security?
Does he want to know the answer to this question? Does he wish to know the dirty truth behind Chloe and her sinister actions against her step–sister?
Reid can understand the rivalry between siblings, especially those that bring nothing but trouble to the family. He can relate with Chloe on a level like that, seeing how the two of them are essentially the washed up and back up options that their families
have to offer.
It doesn’t help, though, that he wishes to aid his brother, to try and see if there is a way that Logan can help him get out of the mess that he has made for himself. He knows that his brother will be running for the Alpha King position, that everything, and everyone in his life will be under close inspection of the public eye
It is a weird thing to want to help his brother. It wasn’t even a few weeks ago that he was tearing into logan and his fiancée for simply existing with one another. He was very critical of Emily and her very, very humble beginnings, her pack much lower in hierarchy of society than his pack is.
Reid moves back inside the main part of the office. He spot Logan from afar, quickly making his way across the room, ready to
give him all of the information that he knows since he is Chloe’s spy.
“Logan,” he breathes out, “we need to talk.”
“Not now. I don’t have time for you and your drunken antics,” Logan bites back, pushing him out of the way as he walks
