“Ah f**k,” I just shook my head.
“Go to bed,” I tell him and head into my room. I put my laptop away, and double-checked my phone to make sure I didn’t miss any of the photos those she-wolves took. I also double-check that any messages that they could have sent or emails. Luckily, my phone was clean. I let out a deep sigh and went into the bathroom to shower before going to bed.
I honestly wanted to cut this trip short, and just get the deal over with and go home, but I had one more piece of business that I needed to deal with.
The next morning, Kenrick and I were up early and get our morning workout in. We both played it safe and kept our phones in our rooms and locked the doors. We made sure to keep our key tied into the lace of our shorts, so we didn’t lose them. Instead of doing ten miles outside, we decided to use the packhouse gym and ran on the treadmills.
“Have you talked to Rylee?” Kendrick asked me in the middle of our run.
“I talked to her yesterday before dinner,”
“Is she freaking out without you being there?”
“She seems to be handling herself okay. She had a whining moment, but that was cut short because of Milan,”
“What’s it like having such a huge age gap?”
“Honestly, I love it. Rylee is pretty mature for her age, but when she has her not so mature moments, it’s cute as f**k, and it helps that she’s a whole f*****g foot shorter than I am,”
“I don’t remember Aunt Meg being that small,”
“Aunt Meg was my mom’s height if I remember correctly, at least 5’7 or 5’8. I think my girl is small because of malnutrition growing up. Her most important years were spent in slavery, and she didn’t get to eat regularly, so I’m assuming that may have stunted her growth,” I tell him. “Besides my sister is small too,”
“Yeah, but Melody is like 5’6, she’s small compared to us, but she’s taller than Rylee,” there a moment of silence between us during the run, but then he had to open his big mouth. “So, what’s s*x like with her being so small?” I immediately jumped off the treadmill and tackled him to the ground.
“DON’T YOU EVER ASK ABOUT MY s*x LIFE WITH RYLEE!” I roared in his face. I loved Kenrick like a brother, but sometimes he never knew when to stop being so f*****g nosy.
“Okay, f**k, my bad,” I got off of him and went back to my run. He got up off the floor and finished as well. After our run, we had breakfast sent up to our rooms so I could prepare for the meeting. I looked at the time and saw that it was roughly three in the morning back home. Took late, or too late to try and call Rylee. So, I decided to send her a text message,
Hello beautiful. I know you’re asleep right now, but I just wanted to let you know I miss you. I will be busy for the majority of the day, but hopefully, we can video chat before I go to bed tonight. I love you, dearest.
I put the phone down and pulled out the files to get ready for the meeting, but to my surprise, I received a response.
I love and miss you too Wyatt.
I couldn’t help the smile that formed across my face when I saw her reply. Though I was surprised she responded, but if I know her as well as I think I do, she probably wasn’t sleeping well without me there. I quickly sent her a reply.
Me: Try to sleep, baby. I know it’s hard without me there, but the quicker you sleep, the quicker time will go by. We will be together soon.
My Dearest: I will try. I love you so much, Wyatt. I hate that you’re away.
Me: I know dearest. But I promise time will go by faster if you don’t think about it. Goodnight baby.
My Dearest: Goodnight Prince Charming.
I threw my phone to the side and started to get the files and documents ready for the meeting. If this meeting goes smoothly, and one of the property designs is approved, I would be able to spend more time with Rylee at home and take her on vacation. Possibly even plan for a pup. Thinking about having a family with Rylee immediately resulted in a smile on my face.
After showering, getting dressed, and refining last-minute preparations, Kendrick and I went down to the meeting hall where we were met by Alpha R?bano, the pack attorney Eduardo Cabello, Beta Javier Esposito, and the construction company that will be handling the actual building of the new packhouse.
“Alpha Valencia, it is a pleasure to finally meet you,” Eduardo said shaking my hand.
“Pleasure to meet you too,” I replied. “This is my Beta Kendrick,” and he moved to shake his hand as well.
“Gentlemen let us get started,” Alpha R?bano said. We all took our seats, and the meeting got underway.
“Alpha Valencia, I honestly have to admit, I didn’t think I would find any designs that would interest me, but this one has really caught my attention,” Alpha R?bano said to me while holding up the last design that I had submitted. I was actually relieved because it was submitted by one of the newer employees on my design team, but I felt it was unique and original. “Alpha, if you are happy with this design, shall we proceed with signing the contract?” Eduardo asked R?bano.
“Before we do, I need an estimate on how long construction would take,” he asked the construction team. I watched as they scanned the design and all the details that R?bano wanted.
“Alpha R?bano, en base al dise?o, y los detalles que desee, le llevar? al menos un m?nimo de dos a?os y medio,” (Alpha R?bano, based on the design, and the details that you want, it will take at least a minimum two and a half years,)
“Perfecto, let us sign!” I pulled out the contract and handed it over to Eduardo. He read it over in great detail before nodding his head and had Alpha R?bano sign it. I tore off the copy that I keep, one for the construction team, and one for Eduardo to keep. We all shook hands and adjourned the meeting.
“Alpha R?bano, it has been a pleasure doing business with you,” I say and shake his hand.
“The pleasure is all mine Alpha Valencia. Will you be joining us for dinner?”
“Yes, we will. I just need to get my things situated and then I will be right down,” he nodded his head and we all went our separate ways.
“Well, that worked out better than I thought,” Kendrick said.
“It did, now we just got to get through dinner here, and then tomorrow, we’re leaving,”
“Why so soon?”
“There’s something I need to do in Vatican City,”
“Which would be?”
“Research on Rylee,”
“What?”
