“Do you need help?” Nessa asked when she saw that Keagan was struggling with his noodles.Why were neither the Alpha, the Beta, nor the Gamma capable of cooking even instant noodles? Nessa thought to herself.Keagan turned around and looked at her. “I am fine,” he said curtly and then busied himself with his noodles again.Nessa didn’t insist on helping him; she also busied herself with the ingredients she needed to cook her meal, but she made it extra.However, the silence that ensued made her slightly uncomfortable; thus, she talked again. “Do you want me to call Jack?”“No.”The conversation was cut short, and Nessa didn’t know where she had done wrong. “Are you angry with me?” She gathered her courage to ask him, but her eyes focused on something else.“No.” Keagan glanced at her. He had been very busy in the past few days, dealing with the matter with the North River Pack.He was not going to admit his wrongdoings for killing Alpha Rowan; thus, they pushed the narration of justif

Aside from the two warriors who accompanied her for dinner before, she didn’t really know about the other warriors, let alone recognize all of them.But Jack was different. He lived in the pack house for decades and knew all of them, as he managed the whole thing around here.Therefore, at one glance, he could tell that the two warriors who had been waiting for him here were not the warriors he had called for. He had never seen the two of them.“What happened?” Jack was very tense; it alerted Nessa. She tried to look for something out of the ordinary, but she couldn’t find anything.“Go, now,” Jack said in a low voice. He acted calm, but Nessa knew better since she was right next to him.“Okay.” Nessa reluctantly walked away, but she looked over her shoulder to see the two warriors who were standing not too far from them, while Jack walked towards them.Nessa hastened her steps to look for the warriors and tell them to go to the side garden, where Jack was. They asked her what had hap

“Oh, I think this is one of the warriors that Jack met.” Nessa pointed out one of the men in the picture. “Even though his hairstyle is different, I can recognize the mole near his eyes.”Keagan leaned over to see it and then took the tablet from Nessa’s hand. He made a phone call to his beta and then sent the picture to track down the man.“Anyone else?”Nessa checked the pictures again; there were around two hundred of them. This was the number of people that Keagan could gather in such a short time.However, Nessa had never seen all of these people. “No.” She shook her head and then described the other men that she saw. “…he was bulkier and had a tattoo on his neck.”“A tattoo?” Keagan raised his brows. It was almost impossible to tattoo a shifter due to their healing ability; most of the tattoos wouldn’t last for long.“I don’t know what kind of tattoo, but I am sure his neck was inked.”Keagan nodded and then patted her head. “Good job for recognizing the details.” He then made a

Drake had stooped so low by bringing that up, but seeing the rage and pain in Keagan’s eyes, it appeased his own anger. He had never been rejected so outright like this.“Stay away from her,” Keagan warned Drake and then stepped aside to avoid him.He walked out of the room, but ordered a warrior to keep his eyes on his father’s movements. He knew his father well. He did not respond well to rejection.Turning down his help wouldn’t make him back down; instead, he would see it as a challenge to his authority, especially with the problem as big as this one.After talking to Drake, Keagan went to his room and found Nessa watching a movie. She was surprised to see him.“Alpha, are you angry?” Nessa blurted out when she saw the look on Keagan’s face.“I am not.” Keagan went straight to the bathroom to calm himself down. His conversation with his father earlier made him realize that he had given himself another problem.This was not only about dealing with the North River Pack, but also cha

There was no explanation for that, and Nessa didn’t know what implications it could have, but she thought it would increase the gold's value if Keagan intended to buy it.They arrived at the second location when the sky had turned red and the sun was almost set.Nessa got out of the car and looked up to see the black smoke from the factories floating in the air. Somehow, she felt as if she had seen this scenery before, but she was not sure where.It could be her mind was playing tricks on her, or there was a high chance that she had seen this in some movies she had watched.Shrugging off these strange thoughts, Nessa followed Keagan and the others into a huge house, with blue dominating the entire building.There were four gigantic pillars on both sides before they reached the double doors. It was open and showed spiral stairs to the second floor.There were many statues of magical creatures, and even the pillars were carved into the image of a Chimera.This place was astounding but a
