Chapter 21: Discovering the Pups

It was a Deja Vue moment as Bonnie arrived at Walters, New York. Although the new building was on the same site, it seems as if the old building was demolished, and the new building was impressive. It was about fifteen stories high and took over an entire block. As she entered, she observed a food court with many choices. Dunkin' Doughnut and Starbucks were both her favourites. She grabbed some coffee from Dunkin Doughnut and headed to the office. The CEO's elevator was empty, so she rode it to the fourteenth floor. His scent was strong in this elevator, causing Sheena to be overly excited.

As she entered the main office, his scent was extremely overpowering. Sheena became restless as she chanted, "Our Mate Bonnie!" With a rapid increase in adrenaline and my heart pumping twice as fast, I can't wait to see my mate. Questions kept popping into my head. How am I supposed to hide the twins from him? If he knows about them and declares them his, wouldn't his parents take them away? Was he still engaged to Elise? Last night was about me, and he volunteered no information about himself. I only have myself to blame since I did not ask any questions.

With trepidation in my heart, I stepped into the office. As I entered, Brian's secretary said, "Welcome back, Miss Bonnie! Alpha is waiting on you in his office." She led the way and knocked on his door. He said, "Enter! in his booming Alpha New York accent." I realised how much I missed that voice. I walked in, and he rushed over to me and picked me up in a bear hug as he lifted and swirled me around. As he placed pecks all over my face. When I slid down, his hands cupped my butt as he drank from my lips until he was satisfied, and then he hooked me under his arm surrounding me with his odour while we walked to the lounger. He said, "I have prepared breakfast for you!" I laughed and said, "The way you were feasting on me just now made me think you had breakfast." His booming laughter filled the room. He swatted me on the behind and led me to the space\ behind his office.

My mouth hung open in surprise. A kitchen and a variety of food spread on the dining table. He said, "I hope you like this breakfast. It is from the best Michelin cook in all of New York." I told him I always had a working breakfast with Cal and Cadie. He said let us not change that routine then. Then he asked me, "How much do the guys and company mean to you?" My answer was," Everything! They had my back when I had no one else." I could see the cringe in Brian when I said that. He defended himself by saying, Remember, I could not find you.

I convinced myself that today is my turn to ask questions. I said, "Brian, can you get me caught in the years I was not in New York?" He said, "Bonnie, ask me anything you want to know," I asked, "What is your relationship with Elise?" He said, "I told her we were finished when I found out she got you drugged four years ago. Now, it was my turn to be embarrassed. My face became white and then flushed red as emotions flooded my head. Did he find out I slept with him? I wondered. He did not tell me that he knew I slept with him so far, so good.

I asked, "So, what is the current relationship?" He said, "We are just friends, but the parents are hoping she would be my chosen mate, and she now knows that I have a fated mate, and I hope she stays out of our relationship." He pulled me from beside him to sit on his lap while feeding me fruits. I told him, "I will get fat if I do not hit the gym." He said, "We have a gym in the building, and I could be your gym partner or trainer if you would like that." OMG, this Alpha is crowding me like an avalanche. I said, "I already have a routine, Alpha." He grinned and said, "I see." It was relatively comfortable just to be held against his chest. It seemed to calm Damian as I could hear him snoring softly.

Then he said, "Let me take you to your office." We got up, and he wiped his mouth with a napkin, and before I could wipe mine, he was wiping it for me. Then he placed butterfly kisses all over my f

ace. Any girl would relish the attention and this kind of relationship, and I hope it doesn't get to me too much. We walked hand in hand to the door; then he walked me to the office next door. He opened the door, and voila! The entire room was lit by the sweet sunshine outside. The champagne curtains were pulled aside, revealing a wide window on the city below. I could see the New York skyline from this window. All the furniture was Cherry wood, and I loved the circular arrangement of Everything inside. My Alpoha made me proud.

Alpha said, "One more surprise!" He walked to a door on the side panel and opened it. My eyes shot open wide. I said, "Oh my God! It's a connecting door to your office lounge. He laughed and said, "I am right next door if you should ever need me for anything." He had so much joy just seeing how surprised

I was; he was chuckling as he came over to kiss my forehead and then took a long, drugged kiss from me.

At that perfect moment, my phone rang, and I asked to be excused," He said go to the right of the kitchen, and you will have privacy. I walked through the kitchen, then to the right, and I was surprised it was a door leading into a main bedroom.

I listened to Brady as he complained about his sister. He said, "Mom, Bea won't listen to Aunt Liz." Bea said, "Mom, Brady is being mean to me." I told them to be good children and listen to Aunt Liz. Bea said, "We will if you let us talk to your business partner. I am worried he would bully you." I asked her, "Why would you say that?" She said, "Because he is a boy, boys always bully girls." If only Cadie would hear the princess complain, he would laugh. I said, "You can talk with him, but you cannot turn on the camera."

Next, I heard a rustle behind me. I mouthed that someone would like to speak with him on the phone. He gave me the thumbs-up sign and took the phone from me. He said, "Hello, and I could hear her childish voice saying, "Hello, are you my mom's business partner?" I could see his eyebrows rising, and the phone dropped from his hand. He gulped air and could not answer. Then I heard another heavier, childish voice saying, "Hello! Hello! Mom, are you there?" I answered yes, love, I am here. He asked, Are you okay?" I said, "Yes, love, I am fine." He asked, "Is your business partner still with you?" I said, "Yeah, love he is." He said, "Let him know he cannot bully you or mess with you, or we will get Uncle Cal and Uncle Cadie to bully him back." I said, "I will let him know my love."

That was the notorious introduction of Alpha Brian to his pups. He was hyperventilating and could not speak for five minutes or so.

After his breathing became regular, I said, "Now you know why I had to leave." All he could do was nod his head. I could see tears pouring down his cheeks, and he could not talk. He grabbed me, walked to the bed, and pulled me down on his lap. He wrapped his arms around me as he rocked me back and forth, full of emotions and caressing my back. He said, "Bonnie if you say yes, I will marry you as soon as possible and adopt your pups. I do not care who their father was; all I know is you are my fated mate. What is yours is mine, and I will never let you go again.

How gallant of the Alpha to adopt his pups. He said, "I have to make it up to you for what Elise did." What Elise did was a blessing, not a curse, I said to myself. I shook my head negatively and smiled, thanking God that the Alpha does not know the pups are his. The Walters' parents will never be able to take my dogs from me if I say yes. The only way to do this is to hide them as far away from their sight.
