It was as if the madness was the only respite for Alpha Kilian to momentarily forget his worries and despair, his wolfish nature manifesting in chaos and destruction.
Unbeknownst to him, someone silently informed the bar’s owner, Alpha Zachary.
When Alpha Zachary arrived, he was met with a scene of utter chaos. Broken glass covered the floor, and injured men lay trembling and afraid, keeping their distance from Alpha Kilian.
But when someone announced Alpha Lucas’ presence, all eyes turned toward him. He stood amidst the crowd, tapping a man’s shoulder, and everyone cleared a path for him.
A twisted satisfaction curved Alpha Kilian’s lips.
Despite Alpha Zachary’s once innocent charm, he now appeared different, dressed impeccably and exuding a sense of maturity. He was no longer the naive young man, but rather a cunning and deceitful individual.
Yet, even with his mask, Alpha Zachary could never entirely disguise the demons within him.
Perhaps only Nelly would fall for his tricks.
Alpha Kilian approached him, remarking, “I’m surprised to find that the heir of the Lucas Corporation is the owner of this lowly establishment. It tarnishes the facade of the cultured gentleman you portray to the world.”
A smirk tugged at Alpha Zachary’s lips as he stared back at the man, knowing that denying his accusations would be futile.
“Let’s cut to the chase, Alpha Morris,” Alpha Zachary said, his tone filled with gentlemanly serenity. “Leave Nelly alone.”
Alpha Kilian chuckled coldly.
Ah, so that’s why he’s come looking for me.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
I wonder what has caused his frustration. This could be interesting.
“What if I refuse?” Alpha Zachary’s gaze sharpened.
A cryptic smile danced across Alpha Kilian’s face as he lowered his voice. “Then, I’ll be forced to teach you a lesson.”
“Are you threatening me, Alpha Morris?”
“Consider it what you will,” Alpha Kilian responded.
Alpha Zachary locked eyes with him. “I thought this was meant to be fair competition, but it seems you are using your influence and power to pressure me. I might not be as influential as you here, but I am certainly not a pushover!”
Alpha Kilian stared blankly, his response withheld.
“Does Nelly know what you’re doing?” Alpha Zachary pressed.
Instead, Alpha Kilian countered with his own question. “Are you planning to betray me?”
“Why not?”
Their gazes remained locked, the animosity between them escalating.
Then, Alpha Kilian chuckled. “Zachary, when you’re married into the Lenoir family, I’ll make sure to send you a lavish gift.”
Alpha Zachary’s expression darkened as the weight of their impending marriage deal settled upon him.
“Stop harassing Nelly. If she gets hurt because of you, I will destroy you and the Lucas family!” Alpha Kilian declared, rising to his feet, ready to leave.
“I won’t give up on her!” Alpha Zachary retorted, his gaze fixed on Alpha Kilian. “I never agreed to this marriage. In my heart, I only want her!”
A cold smirk adorned Alpha Kilian’s lips as he slowly disappeared from Alpha Zachary’s sight.
As Alpha Kilian left, another person approached Zachary. “Alpha Lucas, are you just letting him go like that? What about our losses?”
“Let someone else handle it. The losses are on me,” Zachary replied.
“But…”
“He’s Alpha Kilian Morris,” Alpha Zachary intoned.
Worry creased the person’s face.
Although only a few had encountered Alpha Kilian personally, he held significant power and influence in society.
As the owner of Morris Corporation, which held a tight grip on the Moonwalk Pack’s economy, Alpha Kilian’s connections reached wide, even infiltrating both sides of the law.
Zachary’s subordinate trembled, realizing the extent of their fight with Alpha Kilian.
Uncontrollable fear coursed through his veins, his legs shaking.
Noticing his distress, Alpha Zachary reassured him, “Don’t worry. He’s coming after me, not you. You’ll be fine.”
“But what about you…”
“I’ll be fine too. Just do what needs to be done. Make sure tonight remains a secret.”
“Understood.”
Once the man had departed, Alpha Zachary surveyed his surroundings with hollow, unreadable eyes.
And then, a figure approached him.
“Are you Alpha Lucas?” a soft, gentle voice called from behind.
He turned, a frown etching his face. “And who might you be?”
She moved closer, extending her hand. “Hi, nice to meet you. I’m Lara Gareth!”
Alpha Zachary simply stared at her outstretched hand, showing no intention of reciprocating the gesture.
Unfazed, Lara pulled her hand back. “Fine, let me introduce myself. I used to work at Morris Corporation, and I’m a good friend of Alpha Kilian.”
Zachary narrowed his eyes, thoughts racing through his mind.
Having done his research on Alpha Kilian, he suspected that the woman before him was the rumored former fiancee of Alpha Kilian.
Locking his gaze with hers, he questioned, “Used to?”
Lara confessed, “Yes, I’ve left Morris Corporation.”
“Why are you here then? Is there something I can help you with?” Zachary inquired.
“I saw you before, having a meal with Nelly at a restaurant,” Lara revealed.
“So?”
“You have feelings for Nelly!” Lara exclaimed, a statement rather than a question.
“Yes, I do care for Nelly. But it seems you hold a grudge against her,” Zachary replied bluntly, not bothering to sugarcoat his words.
