ZANE'S POV
My brothers had left earlier to take care of something at the office. I requested Sienna send her to me since I still had unfinished business. Roshan had asked me to ask her about the situation with her father, but I didn't get the chance to. I spent the entire night sticking my d**k into her rather than questioning her.
I couldn't find myself leaving her alone in the bedroom. I held her to her tightly as she slept peacefully.
The door opened, and Roshan walked in.
"Didn't expect to see you here at this hour," he said, and I rolled my eyes.
"You are late," I gently withdrew myself from her.
"What are you doing here?" I questioned Roshan. We weren't supposed to spend the night with her after we had s*x. That could open a way, and feelings might develop.
"Says the man who i found cuddling her," he pointed out.
"I just woke up. I was exhausted. I fell asleep," I lied.
"I just wanted to check if she was asleep." He glanced over at her sleeping figure.
"Right, come on, brief me about how it went," I said as I walked out first. It took a few seconds before he followed me behind.
"What about Aiden?" I fixed my hair with my hands.
"He is having a late dinner," he pointed out, and I nodded. We joined him in the dining room, and he was almost done with his meal. He cleaned his mouth with the serviette.
"Astrid asked about Rita," I announced, and they both froze.
"What did you tell her? She isn’t supposed to know about it," Roshan hinted, and I shrugged.
"She was asleep while she was talking. I didn't get to answer her question, but in the future, she would ask again,"
"How did she find out about her?" Roshan inquired.
"There are pictures, maids, or maybe Sienna, but it is not like that matters," I dismissed immediately.
"We spoke to the keeper, and he said he had his doubts. There is a possibility that rita is still alive and the witches box might have been stolen by her. The occurrence isn’t ordinary, " Aiden started the moment I settled down on thr chair beside him.
I noticed they both glanced at me, and I leaned my head back on the chair.
They both knew how obsessed I was with Rita, how much death pained me the most. She was the first person that ever stole my heart, and it seems she took it away with her. Even if she did terrible things, I still couldn't stop thinking about her.
This news, rather than comforting me, I felt something I couldn't explain, like she was in some sort of danger. She would be, if she was truly alive and if she was, then the one who stole the witches' box.
But why would she need a box that could control the dead? Thinking about it only gave me a headache.
"Well, let's talk about what matters right now. The alpha of crystal blood pack. Did he even ask about his daughter?" I asked.
"I don't f*****g care or give a s**t about Astrid, he is literally just in for the money. He only cares about profit, " Roshan replied with clear disgust in his tone.
"Are we going to keep her tied to the house all day?" Aiden dropped his cutlery as he finished his meal. He emptied the contented glass of orange juice.
"The paparazzi are trying to get a glimpse of her, she can't go out without a guard or a car, she's here under a contract, but that doesn't mean we have to leave her alone, her safety above anything else,"
"When she wakes up, I'll inform her. Goodnight , we have a long day tomorrow, " Roshan was the first to leave.
I knew where he was going to. But I didn't talk about it. I retreated to my room to get some sleep for what was left of the night.
Soon enough, morning came, and we got ready for work. Aiden and Roshan took it upon themselves to explain that she could leave the house, but only with security.
But throughout the entire talk, I noticed her eyes on mine. I wondered what was going on in her head. Maybe she thought I would have slept beside her till morning. As much as I wanted to deny it. I wanted to sleep beside her till morning, but I couldn't.
We had to set up a line. She was our mate, yes, but she was still under a contract regardless.
The briefing finished, and I was the first to step out. We had a meeting with her father today. As agreed with my brothers yesterday, we picked him up at the company's headquarters to head to the site of the mining. It was still in its rawest form.
The contracted company is going to make equipment for proper mining available, security for the side, and build easy access to entering and exiting the mine. We were generous enough, and we were going to offer ten percent of every profit made on the gems. Because his daughter would bear our child and also because she was a mate.
"How is Astrid?" For the first time since our meetings, he asked about his daughter. Finally, his parental side was coming out.
"She is coping," I replied briefly. We were on a business trip, and the last thing we should talk about was personal matters.
The car stopped, and I looked over at the driver.
"Is there anything wrong?" I questioned.
"Yes, sir, there seems to be a problem at the front," he replied. That was Aiden's and Roshan's car.
I pushed one on the door, and I stepped out of the car. My brothers at the front did the same, and I moved to the front.
I froze as I saw the site before me. A lifeless body with a huge black hole in its chest. His eyes were replaced with black hollows, and his veins were black.
I glanced at my brother, and I saw the same alertness. The witch was angry.
