Eric's POV
''Welcome sir.'' Beatrice greeted, I nodded my head at her and went upstairs to my room, I collapsed on the couch and took in a deep breath.
I closed my eyes and all I could see was her perfect lips and enticing eyes that triggers all the organs in me.
I released a heavy sigh and opened my eyes when I realized my phone was ringing, I went for my phone in my pocket and realized the caller was dad, I picked up the call and placed it on my ear but didn't say a word.
''Eric.'' dad called in a calm irritated voice
I groaned and spoke up
''Listen father, I'm not in the mood for your talks.'' I replied frustrated and relaxed in the couch.
The line was silent for a while before he spoke up
''You've been summoned by the wolfie, didn't Elliot tell you that.'' hearing those words from dad I released an heavy sigh and groaned loudly.
''What did he say.'' I asked tiredly
Dad was silent for a while before he spoke up
''So many things, you have to come back to California, the meeting is being held the day after tomorrow.''
''What.'' I cut dad off
''Yes, so you have to come back.'' dad murmured over the phone in anger
''But Victoria has a few more days to stay in the hospital, how can I bring her along with me.'' I spoke angrily
''I don't care what you do anymore.'' Dad muttered those words angrily and ended the call on me.
''Fuck.'' I yelled in anger
In my twenty-seven years this was the first time I was being called by the wolfie, I hated that gathering and made sure I avoided anything that will cause me having a case there, but it seems I can't get pass this one.
I dialed kelvin's number, it rang a few times before it was picked.
''Eric.''he called out in a sleepy voice, I forgot it was night there.
''Sorry for bothering you.''
Kelvin chuckled loudly over the phone, and I wondered what I must have said that could make him laugh this way.
''Never knew almighty Alpha Eric would apologize for calling late at night.'' he mocked and kept on laughing.
''That's your business, Elliot summoned me to the wofie.''
''I know, I heard it.''
I groaned, frustrated, and ran my fingers through my hair.
''I can't leave Victoria here.'' I murmured to Kelvin.
''You have no other options, just come back to California, attend the meeting and fly back.'' Kelvin suggested.
I thought for a while and nodded my Head to his suggestion.
''Thanks, I will do just that.'' I said those words and wanted to end the call, but he spoke up.
''How is she.''he asked
''She is fine.'' I murmured tiredly
The line was silent for a while before Kelvin spoke up
''How are you.'' he asked with care.
I chuckled softly and stood up from the couch
''I thought no one would ask.''
''Of course no one would ask because we are all angry at you, but that does not mean we don't care about you.'' he said those words with so much care in his voice that I wondered how he could be such an amazing friend despite how many times I threw him away.
''Thanks, thanks for being a good buddy.'' I murmured
The line was silent, but I knew he was still on the phone.
''You've really changed Eric, she made you a different person.'' he declared those words like he was so sure of it.
''Maybe you are right, I want to be a different person for her.'' I spoke truthfully.
Kelvin chuckled softly over the phone and spoke up.
''Don't worry, everything will fall into place.''
''I hope so.''
''Don't worry, just come back home, we will sort everything out okay''
''Okay.'' I nodded my head
''Call you later, bye.''
''Bye.'' I ended the call and sigh in relief, how great it felt to have someone you could talk to.
I dialed another number, it rang a few times before it was picked.
''Good day Mr Eric.'' the doctor greeted
''Good day doctor.''
''Is there a problem.'' he asked
''Not really, I just wanted to know if I could take Victoria back to California.''
''No.'' he cut me off
''It's not safe for her to fly on the plane until she is being discharged.''
''Okay, can you get me a private nurse within the next twenty-four hours.''
''Yeah, sure, are you going somewhere.'' he asked
''Yes, I will be out for four days I just need the nurse to stay with her.''
''That won't be a problem sir, I will get a good nurse for her.'' he assured me.
''Thank you.'' I said those words and ended the call.
I called my assistant who was still in Australia and told him to arrange the jet that we were going back to California.
I walked aimlessly in my room and sat on the bed with so many thoughts in my head.
I've been called by the Wolfe and I knew so many evidence were against me, I have zero chance of winning the case all thanks to what I did to victoria.
I laid on my bed with my back, closed my eyes and all I could see was her brown innocent curious eyes, the way she behaved at the hospital few hours ago was something I knew I would not be able to handle if she keeps doing it.
She was frustrating me and turning me on without even knowing it, just her stares on me turns me on, the biting and licking of her lips nervously, turns me on. Every little thing she does turns me on, and I knew I have to control myself and my wolf whenever I was around her.
I sat back on the bed, took off my shoes, unbutton my shirt and laid back on the bed to get some rest, but I couldn't.
Everything in me was screaming for me to be with her, and I couldn't control it.
I groaned, frustrated, and sat back on the bed, put on my shoes and shirt before leaving my room.
