Chapter 330 Gideon's POV The invitation had been sitting on my desk for a week before Tegan finally said something about it. I had been using it as a coaster. It seemed like the only reasonable thing to do. "You should go to this," my Beta said, picking it up and grimacing at the coffee stains on it. "If you can still read the time and date, of course." I shrugged. "I'm not going anyway. Sebastian is already looking for a reason to challenge me in front of witnesses. Walking into his territory and attending his event is basically handing him one." "Maybe." Tegan set the invitation back down.

"From what I hear, Sebastian has been trying to get a meeting with her for months," he said. "If you go, you could speak to her directly. Get ahead of it before he locks her into an exclusive arrangement." I looked back down at the report. Then I picked up the invitation. Dammit. I hated it when Tegan was right.

The place was completely packed, which meant that most of the people he had invited had decided to show up for whatever reason. 1/4 Chapter 330 +25 Bonus It was a good thing, though. It meant I could move around without having to run into Sebastian if I didn't want to. Which I didn't.

He seemed utterly full of himself and always had his nose up in the air. He stopped in front of me with a drink in his hand and a malicious smile curving his lips. "Alpha Gideon,"

given everything. How's the pack holding up?" "Fine." "Really." It wasn't a question. "Because I've been hearing things. That Nightwolf's been losing wolves. That the Alpha's been spending more time chasing ghosts in the forest than actually leading."

"You're not my Alpha. Therefore, not my superior." With that, he drifted off into the crowd, still smiling. I growled, but Tegan put his hand on my arm and shook his head, indicating that it wasn't worth it, Inhaling deeply to settle my wolf, I turned back
