All Chapters of The Ruthless Alpha Knelt at My Feet: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Sage’s POVThe party was already crowded when I arrived. It was supposed to be a simple gathering between several packs, but the hall looked more like a place where people came to compare rank, clothes, and connections.I came because the medical supply plan still needed support. Some pack representatives had agreed to listen, and I could not lose the chance. Cassius had wanted to come with me, but he had another pack matter to handle first, so I told him I could manage by myself.At first, everything went smoothly. I greeted two healers, spoke with one transport manager, and answered questions about the new herb route. They were polite, but I could tell they were still watching me closely.Then the toasts began. One Alpha raised his glass toward me. “Miss Sa

Sage’s POVThe day after the race, Tracy insisted that I needed a proper dress for the auction. I reminded him that Cassius had already won the bet, not a wedding ceremony, but Tracy refused to listen. He came to my office after lunch, took one look at my plain work clothes, and shook his head like I had disappointed him.“You are going to an auction with Alpha Cassius,” he said. “You cannot show up looking like you are about to argue with a supplier.”“I might still argue with someone there,” I replied as I closed the file on my desk. “Besides, I have dresses.”“Work dresses,” he said at once. “Not auction dresses. There is a difference.”I gave hi

Sage’s POVThe auction hall was larger than I expected. The room had soft lights, and each table had a small card showing the bidder number. Cassius walked beside me as people turned to look at us, but he did not act bothered. He only lowered his voice and asked, “Do you want to sit near the front or somewhere quieter?”“Somewhere I can see the stage clearly,” I said. “I came here for a reason.” Cassius glanced at me. “A business reason?”“Not exactly,” I replied. “There is something in tonight’s auction that I want to buy for my father.”He looked at me with interest. “A gift?” I nodded. “An old painting. It belonged to a healer who helped many border packs during the old wars. My father said the painting disappeared years ago, and he never expected to see it again.”Cassius led me toward our seats. “So you want to buy it for him.”“Yes,” I said. “I want to give him something that will make him happy.” Cassius pulled out the chair for me, but he did not draw attention to it. “Then I

Sage’s POVCassius stayed at the entrance of my building for a few more minutes after giving me the small box. I held it carefully in my hand and did not know what to say for a while. The gift was not expensive, but it felt more thoughtful than many costly things I had received before.“You should go in,” Cassius said. “It is getting late.” I looked up at him. “You walked me home. You do not have to wait until I go inside.”“I know,” he said. “But I want to.” His answer was simple again. Cassius always said things like that, without making me feel like I had to give him a big answer. I nodded and held the box closer.I turned and walked toward the entrance. When I reached the door, I looked back once. Cassius was still standing there, watching me with calm eyes. I did not smile fully, but I gave him a small nod before stepping inside.I took the elevator up and entered my apartment. I placed the box on the table and opened it again. The silver bookmark lay inside, neat and simple, wit

Sage’s POVAfter work, my father called and asked if I had eaten. I had been staring at the last report on my desk for almost ten minutes, so his call came when I needed it. My head was tired, and I wanted food more than another meeting.“I haven’t eaten yet,” I said as I packed my files into my bag. “Are you asking because you want to check on me or because you already picked a place?”Father gave a short laugh through the phone. “Both. Come downstairs. I’m already waiting.”I paused with my hand on the drawer. “You came here?”“Yes,” he said. “You work too much. If I wait for you to visit me, I may wait for a very long time.”I felt lighter as I ended the call. I picked up my bag and left the office. When I got downstairs, Father was standing beside his car, dressed simply but neatly. He looked at me first, then at the tired look on my face.“You look like you fought three Alphas today,” he said.“Only reports,” I replied. “Reports are worse sometimes.”He opened the car door for me
