Alpha Scott's eyes narrow . His hand is clenched tightly around the gun , eyes burning with rage . I stand , relaxed and waiting . My expression is unconcerned . A second goes by , and then two ... Well ? " I ask with a frown . 51 55 vouchers I'm not a patient man . I don't have the time to wait around and watch him decide on if he dares shoot me or not . " Shall we make this easier ? " I offer , His brows furrow but before he can react , I reach out , snatching the gun out of his grip , and turning it on him . " Alpha ! " The blue howl wolves that accompanied him exclaim . They're about to lunge at me , but Alpha Scott lifts a hand to stop them . His eyes shift between the gun and me . He maintains his composure , but I don't miss the uncertainty that flashes through his eyes . He knows just as well as I do that I'm not bound by their territory laws . Alphas don't kill other Alphas ... I'd killed my fair share . I only believe in one law , and that's making sure my enemies can never dare cross me again . Because they'll be learning a bitter lesson the first time around . " Do you want to retest that theory ? " I ask him , my finger inching close to the trigger . " You can't ... no one here will stand for it ." Alpha Scott says in a tone of certainty . I smirk . Three consecutive bangs echo through the den . Alpha Scott's eyes are wide in horror . He stares at me , his composure slipping precariously . It takes a moment for him to realise he is unhurt . But the same cannot be said for the Blue Howl wolves accompanying him . Among the five warriors he'd stormed the den with , three of them dropped to the ground , howling in pain . My eyes roam around the den in boredom , before returning to a still shocked Alpha Scott . " I don't think anyone minds . " " If you waltz into my territory armed , and brandish your weapon ... I retain the rights to determine your fate in defence of my territory . This means your life is forfeit at my will . These are the pack laws you all abide by . " I point out . " Suddenly , you believe you're above it ? " My tone is dark , but calm . Eerily so . " Neither you nor your son can 14:16 Sat , Oct 11 Chapter 21 51 55 vouchers afford this exchange . You know why ? Because you came into my territory stirring trouble , and not the other way around . " " If I were you , I'd dedicate my time to nursing Marcus back to health . If word spreads that the Alpha of Blue Howl is not in a good condition ... do you want to see how many will jump at the chance to take over your pack ? " " It's not news that the current Alpha is undeserving ." " Kael ! You bastard ! " Alpha Scott snarls , jumping to his feet . His shoulders are shaking with his agitation . " You're not young . You should be mindful of your health . " I advise , handing the gun over to Blake . I toss my jacket to the seat , sidestepping the blood pooling on the floor before taking a seat across from Alpha Scott . " Now that is out of the way , sit . " My tone is clipped as I slide a file Blake hands me across the table . Alpha Scott hesitates for a moment before picking up the file . He glances through it , and his eyes widen . Turning to Caleb , I nod . And in a moment , the injured Blue Howl wolves are escorted out of the den . The fight resumes in the ring and the den falls back into the briefly interrupted order . " This ... " He trails off . " This operation license is worth millions . Only major packs can get a hand on it . " His eyes are wide with surprise . But then , he quickly clears his throat . Dropping the file on the table , " Why are you showing me this ? " " I'm not showing it to you . " I clarify , " I'm offering you a deal , with terms and conditions attached , of course . It's up to you if you wish to accept it . " Alpha Scott frowns slightly and slowly sits . " Something so precious will elevate any pack by a few ranks in the next ranking . Why not offer it to Blackwood instead ? " He asks suspiciously . I lean back on the couch , " I'll take that to be a no . You can see yourself out . " Alpha Scott's eyes widen and he quickly grabs the file before Blake can take it away . I shrug casually , watching Alpha Scott read through the file again . His hands tremble eagerly , his forehead shines with perspiration . " I ... no . " Alpha Scott says . " Whatever your reasons are , it doesn't affect my pack . " Blake hands him a pen and he wipes his hand on his jacket before taking it . In a moment , his signature shines in black ink on the paper . Blake retrieves the file and I gesture to the door . " Pass on my wishes for a full recovery to Marcus . " Alpha Scott's expression is grim , like it only now occurs to him that he'd just signed a deal despite my 14:16 Sat , Oct 11 Chapter 21 contribution to his son's condition . He nods once and strides out with his wolves . A waiter comes over , clearing Alpha Scott's drinks and replacing it with mine . យ 51 55 vouchers I pick up the glass and lift it to my lips , sipping from it . My brows furrow slightly at the strange taste , and my head snaps up , " Don't drink that ." I stop Blake as he lifts the glass to his lips . Blake freezes , his eyes narrowing . " Shit ! " " Don't draw attention . " I warn in a low tone . Caleb looks alarmed . " I'll bring him in now . And get a doctor . " He storms off after the waiter who'd just left our table . I twirl the contents of the glass , before placing it down on the table . Blake tries to assist me but I shake my head . " I'm fine , I only had a sip . " Getting up to my feet , I head for the exit . A short moment later , we walk into my office and that's when the first surge of pain hits . I double over , clutching the nearest wall for balance . " Kael ! " Blake exclaims in horror , AD Comment
