The council wants this done without the Alpha King knowing. The vampires want to know more, and I’m ware that the only reason they want to know more is that they’re upset they weren’t included. Vampires love money, and if the promise of blood is thrown in, they’ll follow you until your time is up. It’s personal now. This little ring is about to get wrecked became those idiots are bigots.
“Six teams of our best are already on route to some of the vacation homes most frequented and will move forward from there. Vice Roy, Brenan Void has been deployed for the immediate arrest of the Alpha King and his mate Cane, the vampire king rarely shows his face in public, but the old bastard made an exception for today. Td like to know how something like this went right over your heads, truth seekers.”
“Watch your mouth, Leech. I hear you’re still recovering from the ass burns the kid gave you,” Alex, the Incubus kang soothe.
Their banter always carries on after the first stone is cast. I lean back to see Sophia quietly writing her paper on the respiratory system in lycan infants. She has her head set on and couldn’t care less about what’s about to happen to the Alpina King.
She’s got her arm wrapped around my leg sos she can rest her head as her fingers move over the keyboard a lot faster than I could
ever go. That video hurt, and that sick fuck knows it. I gave the Romanos too much credit for all of this. There’s no way that they could have gotten away with everything they have without that dog’s help. It was a little too good to be true.
He covered everything up so well that my father let this go. Zara let it go, and she never lets go of anything I think back to some of my interactions with the wolf and find that he’s not the man I thought he was when we were both training in Machupichu. I respected that man. He was honorable. I was glad I was able to fight alongside him to settle the wars between the two incubi factions. He seems like a completely different person.
It’s stated that the Rogue King was involved in this alliance, but he isn’t mentioned outside of the original files. It was like be was used up until their plans began taking off, and then he vanished. However, if I’m right, Malcolm Rythe has been spotted near Elysium on more than one occasion.
I look up when the vampire king clears his throat. Everyone is looking at me, and there’s complete silence. The only sound echoing off the high ceilings is Sophia typing away at her laptop, oblivious to the fact that we’ve been made
“Is she distracting you, kid?” he asks with a smirk.
‘No, I wasn’t aware you two stopped trying to compare dick sizes,” I lean forward to straighten up. Tve been thinking
“That’s always dangerous, Gnar. You’re a vivid sleeper,” Alex scoffs.
‘If I ever see you in my dreams again, I’ll kill you, I growl at him. “Rythe isn’t stupid. You all remember his bitle vengraser plot on the Haruko clan when they were rude to his mother. He’s smart. He used the dog for something else.”
“Why do you say that, Ragnar?” Alex’s mate asks. I always forget her name and what she looks like, for some reaso
“There was something different about the wolf the last time I saw him. It was shortly after the truce with vampires He didn’t like that I was near my mate. He didn’t like being forced to separate her from Romano,
“If you all pull up Ivar’s report on his mission to extract Sophia from the city, he reported several royal guard sightings About thirteen, I believe. In each one, he said that the moment he was spotted, they seemed to vanish
“You think we should look into both dogs?” Caine asks
“I think we should go,” I nod. “This is personal for both of us, and it’ll give us a chance to put our agreement into action. It’s

been a while since I’ve gone hunting. You can bring Aurora so she can get acquainted with Sophie

At the mention of her name, his daughter sitting beside him sits up. The two of them look at one another. Their mental banter is obvious by their facial expressions.
Are you up for a run tonight?– I ask Sophia when I lean back so she can see me.
-Sure. she agrees lazily without looking up at me.
-I mean a mission run.-
-I know what you mean. I can hear what’s going on.- she says playfully.
“Fine. We’ll go,” he agrees. “I can use a hunt myself.”
Aurora smiles brightly in my direction and mouths thank you before falling back into her seat. I’ve never seen that thing smile before. It’s common knowledge that she hates being here, but she is every time she’s required. Aurora is Sophia’s age and is coming into power. She has about ten more years before her full ascention, but she’s already insanely powerful She also has the biggest crush on my brother.
“What will you be looking for?” Alex asks.
“What he has on the Alpha King, you dope,” Caine scoffs at him.
“This meeting has been over for a while. What are we still doing here?” he rolls his eyes.
‘Waiting on Sophia to finish her paper,” Aurora answers as if it were the most obvious answer.
‘Oh, I was done a while ago. I started another one when Caine and Alex started fighting again.” Sophia’s voice comes from under my desk. “Sorry. I’ll see you later, Aurora.”
Bye, Sophia,” she laughs. “Let’s go, Dad. I want to change for my hunt. She always looks super cute.”
I scoot my chair back and watch Sophia put her things away while the others start packing up their own things. When she crawls out, she uses my body to pull herself up, then stretches. When she’s upright, she pops her shoulders.
That was oddly relaxing. It was like listening to an insane political podcast,” she says, looking around. “You’re really good at
his.”
You sound surprised,” I say, picking up her bag.
I’m not. It’s a compliment. There were a couple of times when you held back from yelling at Alex, which got me a hale sweaty, but good job controlling your temper. I know you struggle with that,” she takes the bag from me and sides over her body. I see some of the chairmen smiling in our direction.
I’m struggling with it now, Darling.” I growl at her. It only makes her smile bigger.
I have a favor to ask,” she stops before we get to the exit and spins around to look at me.
It’s all happens so fast, I can’t catch myself from smacking right into her. I grab for her arm when she squeaks from the impact. I’m able to catch her before she falls, but her legs slide between mine, and I stumble. I’m able to steady us both before we hit the floor.
‘How did you beat me to the top of Mount Feline with your two left feet?‘ I lift her up and dust her jeans.
“Why are you walking so close behind me?” she tries to turn it around on me. I have to stop myself from reacting when I see some of the chairmen looking back at us, amused by all of this

Im sorry.” I say tightly. “Are you okay?”
“Yes,” she says, fixing herself up.
“The favor?”

“I was wondering if we could go for a run before we leave tonight. My body feels really tight from everything that’s been going on.”
The request throws me off. I don’t think she’s gotten to the mating process part in her training. I clear my throat when I see several of the females smile in our direction. I growl at them, but they’ve already heard it, and she has no idea the damage she has done, yet again.
“Okay, little wolf. We are going to have to start talking about the basics. That kind of request is done in private. Not in front of some of the most powerful lycans we’ve got.”
“What do you mean?” she asks, confused.
-You just asked me to fuck you in front of all these people because that is the only reason we’d ever have to be in our pelt at the same time.-
She stares back at me with a blank expression. The color drains from her face when she processes what I’ve just said. She gasps before her face starts to turn red. She smacks her forehead before letting out a low squeaky laugh.
I am never living that down, am I?” she chokes out.
‘No, Darling. I laugh. “I am afraid that one is going to stick for a while.”
