Carmen's povWoah.I could barely stop myself from laughing at Silas.It was originally a grin but very soon, my laughter turned into a full cackle.What the hell was wrong with the man? Did he just open his mouth to talk to me in that manner?“What are you laughing at?” Silas frowned, the pleased smile on his face slowly fading away.“No, it's just…I'm sorry,” I bent over, laughter and tears spilling out of my eyes.Oh moon goddess, forgive me for laughing so much. What an Alpha!Silas was just fit to become a stand up comedian, he got the jokes to make it big on the internet.“You came here…” I said slowly, catching my breath in the process, “...to offer me my own company?” Silas's face looked as normal as can be, he nodded, clearly not understanding the absurdness in the situation.“What's wrong with that? You are a woman, no matter how smart you think you are, do you think you should take control of a corporation?”Hmm.“In that case, you are an Alpha. Do you think you should go

Carmen’s POVBy the time I got back home, my head was pounding. Surprisingly, it wasn't because of work or any endless meetings, Silas was the cause. Only thinking about the nonsense he said while in my office made me want to smash glass on the wall.The living room lights weren't bright enough when I entered and the house had an unusual warmth that was never there before. I heard hushed voices and then loud laughter from the kitchen area from the girls.Hearing the sounds made me feel like a head weight had been lifted from my chest a bit. I pull off my shoes close to the entrance before walking further inside.I saw Cayden first, he had a laptop sitting on one leg while Nora and Nika sat beside him rattling about some movies they'd seen.Silver settled upside down on a different couch just like an unemployed bat, but in his case he was less scary.But, seeing a thousand year old wolf behave that way felt almost unreal. Immediately Cayden noticed my presence, he took his eyes off th

Carmen’s povThe standoff between us was already causing a commotion.It was one I did not want to see at all so I snorted and took one knowing look at Cayden. Cayden got the signal and walked off with me, leaving Silas red faced in the dust.I came right on cue so it did not take long for the auction to start.I had the bad luck to sit with Silas.This was actually good. Even though I got to see Silas' face, at least I knew what he was planning on doing here.The lights in the auction dimmed, with all eyes focusing on the main stage which was glowing brightly.“What a glorious fanfare. The humans really knew how to make things exaggerated. A few broken stones but they were wasting so much on it." Silas murmured under his breath.I looked at Silas, shock crossing my eyes. What sort of a mad man was he?“A few useless stones you say? Silas, did you even do your research before coming here?” Cayden taunted.“What are you saying?” Silas shot back at him. “Isn't this a stone auction? What

Silas’ POVInstantly, my brain went blank and I stared at Jake without speaking.“Which land?” I asked in confusion.Jake’s lips trembled nervously.“The land,” he repeated carefully. “The one we purchased last month.”For a moment, I genuinely could not process his words. They seemed very far away.Then my chest tightened violently as his words hit me hard. I almost choked on my own saliva.Was it that land? The land I spent over three billion acquiring?And that was just the purchase cost because construction had already started, and investors were already looking in on it. I had pumped in a lot of resources already. A lot.I had pushed enormous amounts of Silvercrest’s finances into that project because it was supposed to stabilize the pack’s economy for years to come.My breathing slowly turned heavier, “What happened?”Jake glanced around nervously before lowering his voice, “Relics were found beneath the site.”I didn't say anything for a while then anger exploded through me ins

Silas’ POVThe atmosphere inside Silvercrest had become unbearable. Everywhere I turned, people looked tense and uncomfortable, even servants whispered more quietly.The finance department barely slept anymore.The elders had begun holding private meetings again, thinking I did not know. As usual, they were cowards.All of them smelled weakness and were already preparing escape routes. The government seizure had destroyed everything faster than I had anticipated.Investors had started pulling out and even the ones who had already invested were asking for refunds.Suppliers demanded immediate payment. Even my other projects that had nothing to do with the relic land started suffering because panic spread too quickly.Ten million vanished every minute trying to keep Silvercrest stable. I stood inside my office staring at the reports scattered across the desk while Jake remained nearby in silence.“Alpha,” he called my attention.“Say it.”I was no longer patient enough for formalities.
