I was sitting in my office when my beta, Lukman, walked into my office to announce Alpha Jake Brighton’s arrival. I thought my business with his pack was over. What was he doing in my pack? I did not want to seem rude, but I wasn’t in the mood for a guest.
“Let him in,” I told my beta.
Alpha Brighton walked into my office smiling, and I wondered what the occasion was.
“Good afternoon, Bane,” he said, and I plastered a fake smile on my face to avoid being rude.
“Hello, Brighton,” I told him, and he nodded and sat down without me offering him a seat. The man made himself comfortable.
“To what do I owe this visit?” I asked him, wanting to get straight to the point, and he sighed.
“I was laying on my bed last night thinking of how to improve my people’s lives when an idea popped into my head,” he said, and I frowned at him.
“Shouldn’t you be discussing that with Volkov?” I asked, and he had an angry scowl on his face.
“I can never discuss my people with that bastard. He has done enough,” he said, and I wasn’t comfortable with his words. As much as I wanted to dissolve the rule of the north, I wasn’t comfortable having such a conversation.
Jake noticed and frowned at me.
“Did I come on a bad day?” he asked, and I wanted to say yes, but I shook my head and smiled at him.
I couldn’t be happy or enthusiastic about anything. There were just two months left to the blue moon. If I don’t do anything and Sylvester claims Tamia, I would have to kill him to get her back. I hope she isn’t in love with him. I needed to do something quickly.
“Care to elaborate?” I finally said, wanting to be rid of the man.
He smiled, adjusted his seat, and then looked at my shelf where I had drinks.
I deliberately didn’t offer him anything because I did not want to stand up.
“If you want some, you can pour yourself a glass,” I said, and he smiled and went to pour himself a glass of brandy. He took a sip and returned to sit down.
