Roux pov

The doorbell rang and Rowan quickly popped off the couch going over to the door. She had been sitting on the couch for the past half hour waiting for the little girl she had volunteered to take care of today. "Omg, Hi, it's you guys." she said and I could hear a shock in her voice.

" I know you." said a high pitched voice who I guessed was the little girl. I didn't hear the rest of their conversion as the loud ringing of my phone went off.

I had taken off work today, well more like I told Owen and Zion to take over everything till tomorrow. Even though I knew that rowan would be totally fine. Taking care of a kid is tiring and more times than what I liked Rowan was known to overwork herself.

Of course I hadn't told Rowan why I didn't go into work. In fact my excuse for not having to go to the office today was because They didn't need me today.

"Hello" A low male voice came through the phone when I answered. Their voices didn't seem fully mature and I could tell they were a bit nervous so I pulled back from the phone and looked at the phone ID only for the screen to pop up "unknown".

"Hello" I answered back, putting it back up to my ear.

"umm .... Is this Roux Solace?"

"Yeah, what do you want?" I quickly got annoyed. Why did a random person know my name?

" Well, umm........ you know what nevermind." he quickly hung up as I looked at the phone weirdly. I tried to think back to everyone I knew but that voice just didn't ring any bells.

Rowan soon walked into the living room fully smiling holding a little girl's hand whose face expression matched rowans a wide grin stretched across her face. "Wolfie" screamed the little girl as soon as she laid her eyes on me. Coming over and wrapping her small body around my leg.

I looked over at Rowan in confusion as she just shrugged not knowing what was going on either. "Destiny that is not wolfie, that is Roux." she explanation,

The little girl seemed to pout and cross her arms but was soon interpreted by the offer of making brownies with Rowan.

While they headed to the kitchen I took this opportunity to go to my office and call Zion. He picked up on the 3rd ring. Loud commotion could be heard from the background. "Its Roux quiet down." I did even want to ask what all that was about.

"Could you track a number for me. " I say getting straight to the point? There was a long quiet pause and I took the phone away from my ear to make sure I didn't hang up. "Sorry boss, what was that you said?"

I groaned in irritation. " I need you to track a number for me."

"Sure thing boss, I will have it to you by tonight, just send me the number." I hung up quickly texting the number.

I don't know who called it earlier but it couldn't have just been a spam call. This person knew my whole name. And why did they sound so nervous? All questions I need answered run through my head.
