CEO'S ROGUE ALPHA
Chapter 46: STIRRING TROUBLE

Chapter 46: STIRRING TROUBLE

"You don’t say!! Even your growl over the phone makes the bite vibrate, "I complained and Conri laughed.

He went silent on the phone and I knew he wanted to speak but held back." Husband, I am listening," I encouraged while I prepared to eat.

"Nothing much, just that I wonder why you have never asked me what happened to Lupe"

"Do you want to tell me?" My body froze in reaction.

"I do"

"How about we go to the cabin this weekend? That will assure us privacy"

"Okay." He responded.

"What else?" I pressed on.

"Nothing, " Another monologue answer. I knew he was holding back, and I let it go " Husband, sooner or later, you will have no choice but to bear it all to me. I will be waiting "

"Mhhh" He responded.

" Bye." I disconnected the call before he annoyed me further and enjoyed the little steps that he was making.

An hour later, Isla reminded me I needed to leave the office for home. I walked out of Due Corporation ten minutes later and found Alpha Lobo waiting for me in the parking lot. He was flagged by two enforces and Hunter was nowhere to be seen.

"Are you here to see me?" I drawled as my driver and two bodyguards appeared behind me.

"Good evening CEO Lucian," He spoke calmly.

"What a surprise! "I retorted and suddenly Zeeb joined me in the parking lot and stood by the jeep.

"Relax Elijah, I am here to talk, "Alpha Lobo chuckled cynically.

"Speak" I nodded and leaned on my jeep’s door in waiting.

"I apologize on behalf of Rex on the matter that happened at the site this afternoon. The engineers spoke recklessly and for that, I have dealt with them"

I nodded and asked, "Was that all?"

"I am not your enemy Lucian" Alpha Lobo straightened his back when he realized I would not listen to his crap.

"Alpha Lobo, your hostility towards me has been there for a while. But more sore since I approached Conri Dolf at the dinner. "

"You misunderstood. My top priority has been to protect the pack. And you know very well that the circumstance of Lupe’s death is unclear. "

"I agree. This would be a good time to investigate her death." I acknowledged.

He smirked and asked, " I heard you want to clear Conri’s name.

"I want the truth about Lupe’s death. "I affirmed.

He was silent for a while and then nodded.

"Will that be all?" I was impatient since I had promised Conri that I would be back at the Freki Mansion early today.

"There is someone who wants to speak to you. "Alpha Lobo nodded at the enforcers. They opened the door and Rex got out of the car. Zeeb suppressed laughter and made a small smile play on my lips. Looking at the black eye Rex had, Alpha Lobo had done a number on him.

"Lucian, I am sorry about this afternoon. I was out of line and needed this job. Please ask Everest to consider my services. "He croaked in hushed tones.

"Impossible "Zeeb drawled arrogantly.

"No one spoke to you, Elijah. I am only here to speak to CEO Lucian, "Alpha Lobo asked.

"Unfortunately, I can’t speak for the head of the project. He does not like you, "I pointed out to Rex.

"What?" Rex whispered.

"Conri knows you are my ex. You made trouble at my office and the site. He will not allow you anywhere near me. " I shrugged my shoulders noncommittally.

"CEO Lucian, are you saying that you are not the one in charge of your resort project ?" Alpha Lobo muttered through gritted teeth.

"Conri is the one in charge. "I affirmed.

Alpha Lobo laughed and then moved to tower over me. "You have no idea what you are doing. "

"I do. I am of sound mind and body, Alpha Lobo. Conri is my husband. He belongs to me alone. "My message was simple to him. He would never have Conri. "

"Tsk. After three years, he will be back in exile" His nose flared and moved back.

"If it’s a job you want, we have open positions at Due Corporation, "Zeeb spoke to Rex, interjecting the retort that was about to come out of my mouth.

"An office desk is not for me. "Rex muttered.

"We have other offsite projects outside of Alaska. If it’s a job you so badly want, I can request Anisha to send you there. "Zeeb announced.

"You are on a roll, "Alpha Lobo muttered, his eyes glaring at Zeeb.

"What Zeeb is saying is that Rex will never set foot on the Freki land resort project," I announced.

The buzzing on my phone interrupted the conversation, and the caller ID made me smile.

"Husband" I spoke in a low seductive tone when I answered. I heard Zeeb chuckle and watched him shake his head.

"I am leaving the construction site," Conri announced. "Have you left the office yet?"

"Good. I am on my way home. Do you need me to get you anything?" I asked.

"Are you mad at me? You hung up the phone earlier, "Conri said.

"No Husband. I can’t wait to get home to you. "I whispered.

"See you shortly," He said, and I hung up the phone.

" I am sorry, but I can’t stay any longer. My husband wants me home. And being newly married can’t keep him waiting. Let us have a chat some other time, Alpha Lobo," I hurriedly spoke as my driver opened the passenger door and I got into the car. The bodyguards got into the other car and we left the parking lot and I watched Zeeb walk back into the building. I never looked back, but I knew that Alpha Lobo was left seething and angry at the Due Corporation parking lot.

Twenty minutes later, we drove into the manor, and after the driver and the bodyguard left; I walked into the manor, slid the doors, and got into the living room.

Conri was standing at the fireplace, looking feral. His nose flared and the hands at his side were clenched.

"What happened?" I asked with concern

"Why the fuck did you not tell me when we were on the phone that Alpha Lobo had come to see you ?"
