Hundred and Fifty–Seven
Alexander’s pov.
“Where is it?” I asked with barely contained anger when Blake walked back into my office after he’d gone to search for the Pine document, empty handed.
“I couldn’t find it.” He admitted in the most quiet tone I’d ever heard him speak.
Blake had always been a man of few words but he made up for it with his boldness and right now he was both too quiet and not speaking in confidence which both scared and pissed me off.
“What the hell do you mean you couldn’t find it?” I asked as calmy as possible not wanting to jump into conclusions just yet even though I was very close to the edge of it.
“It’s not in my office like it’s supposed to be, I mean the spare key and the document…”
“You are kidding right, this is a fucking joke, a silly prank, probably Caleb’s idea maybe.” I looked between him and Mason.

Okay you got me, now where is the fucking document?”
I bellowed, unable to control my anger anymore.
“I have no Idea…“Blake said, scratching the back of his head as if he could find the documents there.
He looked just as confused as I was only without the added
anger.

“How about I go check my office then?” Mason spoke up. He’d been checking every cabinet in my office trying to find the document when Blake had left to go check in his office for it.
He didn’t wait for me to speak before he marched out.
Blake walked towards my desk and began to search the drawers again as if the document had suddenly appeared back in.
I heaved a sigh as I combed my fingers through my hair in frustration. This had to be some kind of a joke. How could they possibly lose something so important.
“How could you let this happen Blake!”
I yelled again, bewildered as to how he had even misplaced the document. It didn’t even make any sense.
I had asked him last night to bring me the document but he had rushed out telling me he had not been able to find it. We were late for something, so I had not pressured him but when we had come back last night from our meeting, I had told me to bring the documents to me to cross check some important things, since It wasn’t in my drawer like it was supposed to be and he’d still been unable to find it.
“It’s supposed to be in here.” He said as he combed his hands through
this face!! his hair, a confused look
“Then where the hell is it? I left you in charge of it because of how important it is for fucks sake!”
Mason walked in fifteen minutes later.
“I’m sorry, but I couldn’t find it.” He said looking between the both of us. “Any luck here?”
“Oh well great then!” I yelled out in a sarcastic tone.

Justt calm down, we’ll find it!‘ Mason tried to placate but I was past calming down.
“How can I be calm when the rights of the pack has been stolen!” I bellowed.
“What’s going on, I heard shouting from all the way upstairs, is everything alright?”
Isabella walked in just then. She looked shaken and I realized I’d probably woken her up with my yelling.
“Hey honey,” my voice softened as I saw her but it still had the angry edge to it. “You shouldn’t be here. You should go.”
“Why, what’s going on?” She asked, looking between me and the guys.
“It’s nothing you should worry about. Go back upstairs and rest, you shouldn’t be down here stressing yourself.”
“I’m fine Xander but you are clearly not so tell me what’s going on.”
She retorted stubbornly.
Heaving a tired sigh, I told her what was going on.
‘It’s a very important document and it’s nowhere to be found.” I finished.
“I’m sure it’s here somewhere, maybe you just forgot where you dropped it?”
She said, staring at me.
“Blake certainly did.” I glared at him as he busied himself searching every cabinets and drawer in my office for the documents..

“It will turn up for sure, don’t worry yourself about it ” She said, rubbing my hands in a bid to calm me down.
“Yeah, I’m sure it will.” I finally said,
Shortly after, Isabella left to go freshen up for the day.
Blake and Mason were still searching for the document when I turned
around.
Frustrated and angry, I yelled out “The both of you out of my office.”
They both stopped and walked out but before closing the door, Blake turned around, “I’m really sorry about this, I’ll find it, I promise.”
“Just go,” I dismissed him, wanting to be alone,
It was an hour and half later and I was working on my Computer, when my door creaked open and I glanced up to find
Isabella poking her head through the door.
“Hi,” she said with a smile and as much as I was happy to see her, I couldn’t bring myself to smile.
“Hey.” I said simply as I massaged my temple,
The door opened fully and she walked in with a tray of food in her
hand.
I stood up immediately, upset she was not resting like she was supposed to be but instead carrying heavy loads.
“Isabella…”
“You weren’t at breakfast so I thought I’d bring you some food.” She said before I could scold her and placed the tray on my desk, pushing

me hands away as I tried to help her.
“Thank you but why didn’t you make one of the maids bring it with you. You shouldn’t be lifting heavy stuff Isabella, why is it that you never listen?”
She rolled her eyes at me as if what I had just said made no sense.
“It’s a tray of food Xander, you are acting like I’m carrying the whole dinner table.”
“Still, the doctor said….”
“I don’t want to hear it Xander.” She glared and reluctantly I dropped the subject.
She dragged one of the seats closer to mine and sat down.
“Now tell me, why weren’t you at breakfast today?”
“Just didn’t feel like it.” I said to her, which was true. Breakfast was the last thing I needed when an important document had suddenly gone missing in my office. I’d alerted the guards to look out for the documents but up until now, there was still nothing.
“Does this have to do with the misplaced document?” She inquired
“Sort of, Yes.” I answered hesitantly
“Is it that important?”
“Well, it contains sensitive information about the pack, projects, financial statements and generally the rights to the pack. information that can be used against us if it falls in the wrong hands, sure we have copies but losing something like that can be detrimental to the pack.
I tried to explain as best as I possibly could without worrying her.

I noticed Isabella stiffen and the color drain from her face. I stared at her confused but at the same time scared that something was wrong.
“Are you alright?” I asked panicked that she was having her morning sickness again.
“Yeah, I’m just a little nauseous.” She responded as she held onto her
stomach.
“See why I said you need rest?” I told her, standing up and pulling her
- up.
“I’m taking you up to your room right now.” I said to her firmly.
Surprisingly she nodded in agreement and let me take her up.
Once we were in our room, I tucked her in and waited for her to fall asleep before I went into the bathroom to freshen up.
I came back out, kissed her on the forehead and left for a meeting outside the pack.
It was evening by the time I got back to the mansion and I was exhausted and needded to shower. It had been a ridiculously long meeting, one I barely consentrated on due to the fact that the pine document was still apparently missing.
I was walking down the hall on my way up to check on Isabella when Caleb intercepted me.
“Hey, Boss, I’ve got a few reports from the northern bother.” He said as he tried to hand me a document.
“Save that for tomorrow.”
I waved him off.

“But…” he trailed off as I walked past him.
“Are you alright!” He asked behind me.
A concerned tone marring his voice.
“Not right now Caleb.” I said as I continued to Walk up the stairs. I was too tired and too annoyed to have a conversation.
I opened the door to our bedroom and noticed Isabella pull her phone from her car quickly, a guilty look on her face.
“Hey baby, you are back!” She rushed to say.
“Yes, I am.” I eyed her.
“You okay?” I asked her as I took of my jacket and hung it on the jacket rack.
“Yeah, why wouldn’t it be?” She asked.
*Who were you talking to?”
“Oh, that was just Chloe.*
