Intrigued, he tapped on the email and began to read the contents. It was a short message, but its words cut right through him.'Dirk, my love, it's been too long.

It was a name he had hoped would never resurface: Floridia.Anger and frustration surged within him. How had Floridia managed to locate him after all these years?

In return, Dante had promised to pay a substantial sum for Dirk's protection.However, weeks had passed, and Dante had failed to fulfill his end of the bargain.

Chapter: 27********Four Years Ago.*******On the night he finally achieved his long-desired position as the Boss, Seth experienced a profound sense of fulfillment, reminiscent of a significant moment from eighteen years ago. Seeking to indulge himself, he decided to go out and treat himself. Sitting leisurely with a bottle of exquisite liquor, he intended to savor the passing night and reflect upon various matters. Preferring solitude, he chose not to have any bodyguards accompany him. There was just so much he would like to reflect upon tonight, and he didn't want company interrupting his thoughts.Donning his jacket, Seth ventured out for his customary nocturnal stroll. The late spring air was crisp and invigorating, with the sun gradually descending below the horizon. Even beneath the dim glow of street lamps, a subtle warmth permeated the atmosphere. While the leaves were transitioning in color and emitting a rich, intoxicating scent, Seth purposefully disregarded these pleasan

My Lycgers awakened and they desired him. They yearned for him so intensely that I had to suppress the urge to transform and chase after him," Seth confessed honestly. "I saw it in his eyes—fear, guilt, and an undeniable desire burning deep within. I heard his Lion's roar, and he was not rejecting his Lycgers. Instead, he longed for them. Not only did my Lycgers respond to his Lion's call, but so did the Lycgers of my brothers, despite the distance that separate
