“Kill him!” I ordered Anton.
He scratched the back of his neck, showing his disapproval of the order.
“Are you sure?” he insisted. “He was one of our best buyers.”
“Who lost all his fortune gambling and now doesn’t have the money to pay us,‘ 1 retorted, throwing the reports onto the table, irritated, “Killing Peter will serve as a message to all our buyers. No one should think they have the right to owe us, Anton. Rip Peter’s head off and make sure everyone knows why it “happened”
Peter had once been one of our biggest buyers, but he lost his way after trading his wife for a much younger girl who dragged him into the world of gambling. Since then, he hadn’t been able to maintain his business, spending more than he earned. He owed a lot of people, including me.
And that was
was unacceptable.
“Alright,” he agreed at last. He pulled his phone from his pocket and typed a message. “Done. Peter’s head is up for auction.
“Great.”
1 pressed my temples and closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. The business world could be more suffocating than managing an entire pack most of the time. My wolves followed me, listened to me, and obeyed my commands, unlike my clients.
I opened my mouth to respond to Anton when I felt like I was going to suffocate. I stood up in one swift motion, pushing the chair away
I blinked, confused.
A bitter taste stung my tongue. It felt like fear. Not just fear, but absolute panic.
A sharp pain hit the side of my head, causing a deep ache just as the taste of blood took over my mouth.
My skin froze.
I was dazed for a second, not understanding what was happening. I felt my pupils dilating and the color of my eyes changing.
Anton took a step back, noticing the sudden change.
I was about to lose control to my wolf. He felt what I couldn’t feel, noticed something that had gone unnoticed by me.
“Anton, where is Savannah?” I asked, hearing my heart race.
The world seemed to stop spinning, condensing around me.
with my legs.
I tried to keep the fear away, but its appearance was inevitable. If I closed my eyes, I could see Catalina’s dead body before my eyelids. I couldn’t and wouldn’t let that happen again, I couldn’t fail again.
He frowned, confused.
“If I’m not mistaken, Alexandra said she was going to invite her to the pup challenge. She’s trying to include Savannah since Marilyn sabotaged her cakes.”
What the omega had done angered me deeply. She had no right to come into my home and mess with things that belonged to Savannah. The wolf had good intentions, and Marilyn ruined that. She had been banned from coming to my house since then.
“What stage is it?” I inquired, my voice firm and deep, slightly transformed by the state I was in.
Part man, part animal.
“Primary, I think.”
He didn’t need to say anything else. I shot out of the office using my inhuman speed. I heard Anton shout my name.
“Call Andrei and meet t me in the forest, we have company.”
32-1
The fear I felt didn’t belong to me, it belonged to Savannah. Just like the pain in the side of my head and the taste of blood. She was injured.
That’s why my wolf was trying to take control, that’s why he was desperate to go to her.
Savannah belonged to me, she was a wolf under my care, under my protection. What kind of alpha would I be if I let them take her?
1 wouldn’t fail again.
And my pack, so many females and pups, all heading in the same direction as her. They were all beyond the boundaries of my territory, outside my protection, and in danger.
