Chapter 59

Anita’s Pov

“Anita, what’s going on?” Zach's voice broke through my thoughts. He stood at the foot of the hospital bed, arms crossed, his expression a mix of confusion and concern. He could see the worry on my face, even though I tried to mask it.

I glanced down at my phone, then back up at him. “I need you to take me somewhere.”

His brow furrowed. “Where? You’re not exactly in shape to be going anywhere, especially after what happened.”

“I need to go to the bar where Alpha Hades is.”

Zach’s face shifted from confusion to annoyance in an instant. “What, again? Is he drunk?” He ran a hand through his hair, clearly frustrated. “Anita, you know you’re not his babysitter, right? You work for him, you’re not sold to him.”

I sighed, already anticipating the conversation that was coming. “It’s not like that. He’s… He’s hurting right now.”
