THE ALPHA’S DEBT 70
I stood beside Master Dories as the elevator chimes echoed through the penthouse hallway, but the breath stalled in my lungs the moment the doors slid open. There, standing directly in our path, was Serena Wolfe and Andrew.I could see the flash of pure, venomous envy in Serena’s eyes as she took in the sight of me appearing so comfortable in the company of a world-renowned legend. To her, I was a ghost that refused to be exorcised, a lingering shadow that kept haunting her golden path.My gaze flickered over them for a fraction of a second—long enough to feel the cold bite of Andrew’s presence—before I pointedly looked away, treating the air around them as if it were empty. Andrew, for his part, didn't even acknowledge my existence. His face was a mask of granite, his eyes fixed on some distant point as if I were a total stranger he’d passed on a busy street."Andrew, why is he here?" Serena whispered, her voice tight with a forced confusion as she leaned toward him.Andrew kept one

"What is the meaning of this? Why are they both operating as if the other doesn't exist?"Daniel Cho muttered the question while peering at the screen of Matthew Hawthorne’s phone. His brow furrowed as he processed the two competing headlines currently dominating the digital feed of the territory.#AndrewWolfeRomanticTributeAtGala#RogueAlphaRacerJulianParkSpottedWithMysteryMate"Sir, I’ll let you find your own way out. I have urgent business," Daniel tossed the words over his shoulder to Matthew before sprinting back toward the Alpha's private office in the Wolfe Industries Tower.Before he even crossed the threshold, he had memorized the specifics of the scandal. "Boss, you and Lanka are both burning up the social feeds. You were seen at Lydiasa Hawthorne’s solo recital yesterday, and word is Margaret Wolfe insisted you present her with that bouquet on stage. Someone caught the moment you handed over the blooms, and the pack is convinced it’s an official courtship announcement."And

My pulse thundered against my ribs, the rhythm more frantic than any hollow endearment could have sparked. For a fleeting second, the heat of Andrew’s gaze made me want to believe him, but that warmth was instantly drowned by a tidal wave of ice.If this had happened six months ago—even two months ago—I would have followed him to the ends of the earth. But the bridge hadn't just been burned; it had been ground into ash. My heart still stuttered at his touch, but I no longer had the desire to turn back, nor did I possess the courage to risk the wreckage again.I looked at the Alpha I had loved since I was a pup, my bloodless lips curving into a ghost of a smile. "You’re wrong, Andrew. The feelings are dead. There's nothing left."A visible chill rippled through Andrew at my words. His hand tightened on my chin, his claws nearly pricking my skin. "Did you ever truly love me, Lanka? Or was it all just a play for the Wolfe name?"A jagged pang of agony sliced through me. How could he even

The nurse was still speaking when a sharp, shattering noise cut her off.It was me. Acting on a frantic, adrenaline-fueled impulse, I had swept my arm across the bedside table, sending the water carafe and cup crashing to the floor. The ceramic exploded into jagged shards. I propped myself up on one elbow, breathing hard, my heart hammering against my ribs.Andrew’s brow darkened with a frown. He immediately leaned over, his hands moving to steady me as I sat half-sprawled against the pillows. "Lanka, talk to me. If you’re thirsty, tell me. Why are you lashing out? Or are you just that desperate to prove you don't need my help?"I couldn't look him in the eye. I felt like a cub caught in a snare, my face hot with a panic that had nothing to do with the fever. "I... I didn't realize my hands were so weak. I slipped."The coldness in Andrew’s expression evaporated instantly. He let out a long, weary breath and helped me settle back into the thin mattress. He seemed to realize I was genu

"I just finished speaking with Julian Park," Daniel Cho said, his voice cutting through the heavy air of the club. "Lanka has been rushed to Silverline Medical Center with a dangerously high fever."The words hadn't even fully left Daniel’s mouth before Andrew was a blur of motion. He didn't offer a word of explanation to his companions or to Serena; he simply vanished toward the exit. Daniel scrambled to keep pace, while Serena stood frozen for a heartbeat before hiking up her skirts to give chase. She reached the lobby just in time to see the elevator doors hiss shut.She slammed her palm against the call button, her face twisting with resentment. However, her phone buzzed in her hand—a notification from the server she had bribed. He had sent the photo he took of Andrew looking brooding and solitary. Serena’s expression shifted, a cold, calculated smile touching her lips as she immediately forwarded the image to Lanka’s number.Julian Park had to practically interrogate Carllo to fi

Paige Gardner knew there were some secrets better left buried, and she’d just let a massive one slip through her teeth.She nodded frantically, her eyes darting around. "Yes, of course. But that boy has been cold-hearted since he was a pup. Unfilial and ungrateful. I still have to rely on you, my true pride.""Don't worry. I’ll make sure the credits are moved as soon as I’m back in the Tower," Serena whispered, her voice like a serpent’s hiss in Paige’s ear. "But remember—if Lanka ever discovers the truth of his lineage, he isn't a wolf to be trifled with. Do you think he’d stop at a restraining order? He’d have you thrown into Redstone and forget where they buried the key."Paige’s face turned a ghostly, bloodless shade of white. She clapped a mud-stained hand over her mouth, the terror finally sinking in.It was deep into the night.Inside a plush private chamber at the Maplewood Club, the air was thick with the scent of expensive bourbon and cedarwood. The atmosphere dripped with t

Serena buried her face in the thick furs of the hospital bed, her shoulders shaking with a jagged, rhythmic grief. Her voice was a hoarse, desperate rasp.“You’re lying to me. Andrew isn’t coming. He only has eyes for Lanka. I’m so bitter, Damon. I'm drowning in it. How does that stray get a man li

"Lanka, I bought this bracelet myself. How could it possibly belong to your family? Framing me with such a pathetic excuse... it's not a good look for you."Serena’s voice broke into fresh sobs, but I didn't let go of her wrist. I pulled it closer, my eyes narrowing as I scrutinized the stone. At a

Carllo realized his "tough-love" routine was hitting a wall with a teenager and quickly backpedaled, “Hey, I was just messing with you, kid; don't take it to heart.”Lucas gave him a sharp eye roll, sporting a smug look that said as if I’m as gullible as you.At the sight of them bickering, my lips

I whipped my head around as the sea of onlookers suddenly cleaved in two. Two rows of Enforcers in black tactical gear surged forward, clearing a path with practiced, lethal efficiency.A tall, imposing figure strode through the gap, his presence hitting the room like a physical blow. Andrew’s shar
