Andre’s POV
I walked out of the room in search of the doctor. I was still trying to understand everything that had happened, and I was still stunned to find out that Olivia was pregnant.
My phone buzzed in my pocket, and I took it out. It was a text from the research institute.
I clicked it and saw that there was a file attachment. I opened that as well, and I saw the test results that they had done on Olivia, which confirmed that she was pregnant.
I sighed and shook my head. Clearly, they already knew.
I called the head of the research institute and stood quietly in the corridor, waiting for him to pick up the phone.
Finally, the call connected, and a deep voice filled my head.
“Good morning.”
“Good morning, Alpha. We sent the test results, and we are proud to tell you that the…”
“The Luna is pregnant. Yes, I am well aware. We are in the hospital right now. We found out before I saw the text.”
I cut the doctor off. I didn’t want to dwell on the news anymore. I was still trying to get accustomed to the fact that in a few months, I was going to be a father. Something I never thought would have been possible years ago.
“Congratulations, Alpha.”
“Yeah”
I pushed the congratulations aside and proceeded to talk.
“I called because I have a question. The way Olivia feels, is it because of the child she is carrying?”
There was a short pause.
“Actually, we aren’t too sure. But different people experience it differently. During the first two trimesters of pregnancy, women do have increased libido. They also have more vaginal secretions, and the increased blood flow to the clitoris makes it more sensitive. It is very normal, but Olivia’s case is very peculiar. I have never seen the increased libido expressed the way it is in her body. I have had some discussions, and if you don’t mind, I would like to talk to the patient personally so as to better assess her symptoms.”
I sighed. I couldn’t refuse. I wanted Olivia to be okay as she had our baby. I made a promise to her, and I wasn’t going to let anything happen to our baby.
“I will have to discuss with her. She is quite weak and she is resting. I have to make sure that she is willing and comfortable with it.”
“Thank you, Alpha. Do have a nice day.”
The call ended, and I was alone in the corridor.
A thought soon popped into my head, and I picked up my phone to call someone else.
It rang for a while, but it connected, and a voice came through.
“Alpha.”
“Are the girls ready?”
“Yes, Alpha. Everything is in place.”
I smirked.
“Excellent. Kick the plan into action. I want every fucking gadget on him in the next two hours. I also want the whole place on lockdown. Not a soul moves in or out. Anyone who dares to flaunt this order will be arrested immediately.”
“Yes, Alpha.”
The call ended, and I decided to call Pierre.
He answered and seemed to have a little cheer in his voice.
“Right on time, Alpha. I was about to call you.”
“What happened?” I asked curiously.
“I headed back to the mansion and I’m in your study. I got an update on Nicole’s location. I don’t think that it is wise to share it with you over the phone, and I know that you are quite busy since Luna is in the hospital and…
I rolled my eyes. Pierre was a handful.
“Quit yapping. I’ll be there in a few minutes.”
“Yes, Sir.”
************************************
I strode into the study and saw Pierre on my desk looking through papers.
“Sir, you are here.”
“What’s the report, Pierre?”
He stood upright, faced me, and handed me some documents that I went through while he explained.
“The men have locked down her location. She is staying at the Paradise Hotel in the next city. It is a small and simple hotel that is way below her league, yet it was a good hiding spot.”
“Alright, we go and get her immediately.”
“That’s the problem, Sir. Our men have theorised that she won’t be there for long. She was in the neighbouring city before, and now she is in the city after it. If she has an informant, he is keeping her posted and telling her to move.”
I raised my eyebrow.
“The same informant that wiped her clean from our database?”
“Yes, Sir. If he is as proficient as we think, Nicole should be on the move again and soon and tracking her location all over again will be difficult.”
I huffed in anger as I looked at the files in my hand. Nicole was being slipperier than an eel out of water. I never thought that getting a hold of her would be this difficult.
Whoever her informant was, he was definitely as clever as a fox.
“Stall her?”
“What?”
Pierre looked at me with raised eyebrows of confusion.
“Are you dead? Stall her? Get the men to confirm that she is still at her last seen location and let them do something to stall her. Mess with the traffic lights, talk to our personnel at the border, do whatever. But make sure that she doesn’t leave that hotel or the city.”
Pierre gulped and began to pack up the documents.
“Yes, Sir. And what will be happening while we are stalling her?”
“I need about thirty minutes to cut off her communication with Jonas. I need her stalled for at least an hour. Do we have the phone ID that was used to track her?”
“Yes, Alpha. It’s right here.”
He handed me the document, and I nodded in satisfaction.
“Good. Now you go and do your job while I do mine…”
