Semua Bab The Contract between two Alphas : Bab 61 - Bab 69

Dominic’s office was silent. Serena stood near the edge of the room, her hands clenched at her sides, eyes sharp. The tension between them crackled like live wires.“I know you did something,” Dominic said, his voice low and dangerous. “I don’t know what, but a part of my business… It failed today. And someone inside my operation had to be involved.” His icy gaze fixed on her, and the air seemed to shrink around her, he wasn't going to admit his illegal business in front of her. Who knew what plan she had now. “I didn’t,” Serena said flatly, crossing her arms. Her dark curls fell into her eyes, but she refused to look away. “You told me once that I’m not part of your world. That you don’t interfere in mine. So why are you asking me to take responsibility for something I had nothing to do with?”Dominic’s jaw tightened. His eyes narrowed, searching her face for the slightest flicker of guilt or hesitation. There was none. Only calm, unyielding defiance. That only made his pulse thrum

Serena's POV Elders from both my shattered Vale Pack and Dominic’s powerful Reign Syndicate sat in a rigid circle, their eyes fixed on me. Some looked curious, others openly hostile. Rina lounged against one of the polished chairs, her red lips curved into that smug little smirk she always wore when she thought I was about to fail.I clenched my fists beneath the table, forcing my voice steady. “We all know what happened to my parents. To my pack. To the wolves who tried to resist. You’ve called it rogue interference, corruption, internal strife and every excuse possible. But we finally know the truth. It wasn’t only rogues. It wasn’t rival packs. It was a vampire. A vampire hiding in human politics.”A ripple of derisive laughter broke out from Dominic’s side of the table. Elder Craye, one of the oldest of his council, shook his head. “Vampires? That’s a fairy tale, girl. You’re wasting our time with children’s stories.”My jaw tightened. “Fairy tales don’t leave coded letters. Fair

Dominic’s POVThe room was dark except for the faint glow of the moon slipping through the curtains. Serena’s breathing was soft, uneven, the kind of half-sleep where her body surrendered but her mind still floated somewhere close to wakefulness. She lay curled beside me, the sheets tangled around her legs, her hair spilling across the pillow.I should have left it at that let her sleep. But the weight of suspicion had been clawing at me for days, ever since the raid on my shipment. No one had gotten that close to me in years. No one except her.I turned onto my side, studying her face. Her lips parted slightly with every breath, lashes trembling like she was dreaming. Something in me ached, but the suspicion was stronger.My hand hovered above her temple. The old trick my father taught me a kind of werewolf resonance, a low hum of energy, not full mind control but… coaxing. It wasn’t something I used often, but Serena had walls I couldn’t breach otherwise.I let the hum slip from me,

Serena's POV Everyone was restless, speaking in low voices, until I stood.“I have a plan,” I said, my voice steady even though my heart hammered.Every head turned toward me. Dominic leaned back in his chair, silver eyes unreadable. He hadn’t spoken to me since yesterday, since my files had disappeared. I knew it was him. He knew I knew. But today wasn’t about that. Today was about Peter.“You’ve all seen the news,” I continued. “Peter has stepped into the public stage as a politician. But he’s not just that, he’s building a team. And he’s asking for lawyers.”That got their attention. A few mutters rippled through the room.“What are you suggesting?” one of Dominic’s men growled. He was tall, scarred, his voice deep as gravel.“I’m suggesting,” I said carefully, “that I volunteer myself to join his legal team. As a lawyer. He won’t suspect me, not when I walk in through the front door. He’ll think I’m just another ambitious young woman looking for an opportunity. More or less I don
