Cayden's pov

By the time we returned from the auction hall, night had already fallen. The city lights flickered beautifully outside the car windows, but my mind remained entirely elsewhere.

Silas.

That idiot actually bought the cursed Land.

For three billion dollars. Even now, I still found it unbelievable.

What level of investment would get back that amount of money. Carmen sat next to me, brooding in her own thoughts.

I knew it had something to do with those red scarves assassins who came fo

    Carmen's pov“Good.” The old man nodded thrice, his tears mixing with the mud on his face.“Can we trust you?” Grace did not say much; she only held her daughter's hand. Her eyes locked on me.“Yes.” I nodded; some things could only be shown by my actions. My actions.“Silver, stay with the people. Jaime and I will go to the mayor's house. It is time to seek some answers.”Silver nodded, his eyes gleaming as he rushed to a tea house.In the time he looked for a cup of tea he brewed, screams echoed through the pavilion and wolves with various injuries fell to the ground.“Bad guys.” Silver's muffled voice came from the pavilion. Without even seeing him, he had obviously stuffed his face full.“Let's go.” I shook my head and motioned to Grace and the old man.Grace nodded and led the way. The deeper we went into the town, the more my anger burned.The situation was even more critical the deeper we went. Dead bodies of cubs and old wolves were littered about.No one was even kind enough

    Cayden's pov“That's General Voss' distant nephew. His uncle is the mayor of the city.”The terrified scream of the green-haired lady rang out.On one hand, she was grateful we helped her eliminate a problem, and on the other hand, she was sad that we had sealed our own coffin.“Ohh, that's even better.” Jaime locked his lips, rubbing his palms together.That expression on his face—I had only seen it when Jaime had been thoroughly infuriated. All that remained was to kill and eliminate all threats.“Murder.” Weak shouts filled the air as the people scattered about. Scattered about was too much of an overstatement.Weak legs and malnourished bodies could only take them so far. They all left for a short while and fell to the floor again, their eyes swallowed with extreme hunger.“Why did you guys not go out of the city when it got worse? If you went out and went to the abandoned forest, there has to be food?”The green-haired woman shook her head at me. “You don't understand. This is ex

    Cayden's pov“Is it?” Silver's disbelieving tone made the anger in my heart burn even brighter.A city situated so close to the capital city had turned into a place of beggars.The city walls had become a sorry sight; beggars lined the grounds looking absolutely miserable.As for those who were not begging, they had smiles on their faces. The silence in the street was sickening and thick, as if a single sentence to one another could cost them money.“What happened here?” I squatted down to the female wolf nearest to me. She had green hair, and one of her eyes had been blinded. The deep scar that refused to heal gave her a terrifying face that seemed so similar to the harbinger's face.I tossed a piece of gem at her bowl, and her smile sent chills down my spine. Her lips lifted, dragging along the tear and folding of her eyes, giving her a demonic look.Her small cub curled up in her arms gave me a grateful look, her small palm linking to her mother's.“Tell me.” I nudged them calmly.

    Silas' pov“You're right. We can use Jaime.” I nodded, glancing at Chloe happily.Finally, she can be of some use rather than standing every day like a sorry sight.Chloe blinked with confusion. Clearly, she did not expect me to thank her. It had been a long time since we had both come together to work out something.Chloe was definitely not bad. In fact, she had a lot of sync with me. Our minds could think of similar things most times, and when we cooperated together, we almost never lost the game.As much as I hated her guts now, I still could not deny that she was a very valuable asset to me.“You are not planning on using that Beta that has gotten to Jaime, right? Isn't it too early?” Chloe said, immediately latching on to my plan like a koala.“No.” I shook my head. “Jaime is not a person that uses his brains a lot. He is more of a brute, a loyal brute. He has a glaring weakness; if he likes you, he likes you.”“My Beta has already gotten to Jaime and has reported positively. If

    Silas povWe reached the abandoned cave; moisture dripped from the cave right to my cheeks.“When we see your mother, what are we going to do? Why do you think she called us?” Chloe whispered to me, her hands automatically locked in my arms.I shoved her aside, disgust filling my senses. “Who was the person urging me to come here in the first place? Now you are scared?”Chloe frowned and threw off my hands that she was stubbornly clenching, her eyes filled with contempt.“Loser,” she said, loud enough for me to hear as she stormed away from me. Not a trace of hesitation in her steps.I ignored her, my hands clenched underneath my large coat to hide the trembling of my fingers.Chloe was right about something. I was a coward; I was scared, I was terrified, and I wished I could be anywhere except this place.Unfortunately, there were things that we could never run away from. I took a deep breath and chased after Chloe; the thought that someone was in front of me comforted me a bit.Afte

    Silas' povThe bloodied letter on my desk took the smile and confidence that I thought that I had gained.As I watched the bloodied letter, it felt like a hand was repeatedly smacking my face.“Why don't you just die?” I stared hard at the letter as if my stare could end the life of whoever wrote the letter.“What's the matter?” My assistant, my capable Beta, said as he leaned to look at my letter.“Stop that.” I held the letter, encasing its contents with my hands.This Beta was good in every aspect, but he was too nosy. Nosy, curious people always did not last.“Yes.” My Beta bowed low, his voice apologetic. “I just wanted to share the burden of my Alpha.”His sincere plea touched my heart; it had been so long since anyone ever looked at me or talked to me in such a manner.Carmen used to do it, but after I betrayed her, she became a shadow of herself. I still missed her, always would miss her.“You should understand that some things are not to be known by you; you stand the risk of

    Carmen’s POV“That is wonderful news,” Silas said, glancing at me too pointedly. I had been married to him long enough to know exactly what that meant.“We decided we don't want to know the gender of the baby just yet,” Isabelle, the Beta's wife, said with a glowing grin. She rested a hand on her
