XAVIER
"Why didn’t you say anything about the man? Why didn’t you tell you saw a sick person?" I asked Rex, who tapped on the docunts with his pen nonchalantly.
He shrugged.
"What would you have done if I told you I found soone who was dying of a strange illness no one had seen before and I t him at the elders house?"
"You would think I have gone nuts if I told you I t soone who wasn’t a wolf but could hear from the moon goddess." Rex replied.
I was quiet. He was right. I would think he was on drugs or had ganged up with so rogues to ambush and leave the pack unprotected or distract .
There was no telling what one could do when they were hungry and Rex wasn’t exempted.
"Do you believe he hears from the goddess?" I asked.
When the man told he heard from the goddess, at first, I didn’t believe it, but hearing Rex ntion it again and it made have second thoughts about it.
Rex shrugged.
"Well, he said he does." He replied.
That wasn’t enough for conviction. Anyone can claim that they are anything. The only ones worth believing are the ones that can prove it.
I can’t believe the stranger who just showed up and told sweet things he knows any Alpha would rejoice at hearing.
"Well, that is not enough for to believe him." I replied, and Rex shrugged again.
"I don’t know him too well, I just t him at an abandoned house and wanted to help him. So I can’t swear for him." He added.
"But he did tell I have sothing good coming my way and told to leave him there when I wanted to try and save him. He said the goddess told him to stay. That his helper would find him soon... sothing like that."
I squinted at Rex’s words.
They were just as he stated at the pack.
"Still, I’m not going to believe a random guy." I replied, my mind made up.
Rex nodded.
"It’s all up to you. You are the Alpha of your pack, right? You say who stays or who leaves. But co to think of it, I am actually in a better place now. Look at , I have my own office, handling one of the most important clients in the company and him? He has been found. Whether or not you want to be the helper is left to you."
"The things he said did co true. I’m not saying you should let him stay because of that. Just do whatever your heart tells you to." Rex finished and picked up his docunts again. A cue that he was done and I needed to leave.
I left with his words still lingering in my mind.
I still had work left at the office, so I went into my office to reduce the amount of files on my desk.
A knock sounded on my door, and my secretary, a man that is almost nonexistent, walked in.
I usually forget that I have a secretary except for days when he walks in without feeling intimidated like the other employees. Maybe it was because he works only four tis a week.
"There is a problem, sir." He ntioned, his gaze fixated on the tablet in his hands.
"What is it?"
He leaned in close so I could see the screen of the tablet.
"This company took our container. When our offloaders went there, they didn’t find the goods in it. The surveillance footage showed this van pulling up just as the container was dropped." He explained.
"Have you confird their identity?" I asked
"They seem to be from the rival company. A and A limited." He replied.
I was about to ask which of the rival companies specifically because I had a lot of rivals.
"Have the security team ready for this. We will show this footage to the police and have them handle it while our team follows the police to ensure there is a smooth operation." I replied, and he nodded.
In the city, I worked with humans and, therefore, led a double life. I had to keep them in the dark about who I truly was or what kind of life I led in the dark realm. So, I worked with a security team over here.
Since it only made more sense to involve the police than to go on a killing spree to end all my enemies.
That way, we looked unstoppable and cool too.
My secretary left the office and I resud work too.
After working for hours, I called it a day and returned to the pack.
I alighted the car and headed for my chambers only to et an empty room. It was quite late by the ti I got to the pack, so I was wondering why I didn’t see Nylah in my room.
Just as I was leaving my chamber, a guard arrived and inford with a bow of regret that Nylah was having dinner with the man who we brought in.
My eyes widened at the guards’ words. I thought I didn’t hear well.
"What did you say?" I asked
"I’m sorry, boss." He bowed even more
"We tried to stop it, but ye kept talking about the moon goddess and how she wanted him to et her. I’m sorry."
I didn’t speak again. Instead, I walked briskly to the dining room.
I t the man seated across from Nylah, who was staring blankly at him. I couldn’t tell if she was uncomfortable or if she was just trying to access him.
Whatever it was, it had to stop. I didn’t want the two talking. I hadn’t even confird his story and what he claid to be, and he was already galavanting around like he owns the place.
"What is going on?" I cleared my throat.
Both their attention were divided, and he gasped when he saw .
I arched my brow at his expression. ’Is that a smile?’ I wondered how he healed so fast and was able to flash a bright smile.
He also looked a lot better, and the wrinkles on his face had reduced a great deal. He looked... alive.
"Just like she ntioned to , you are here." He called out, clasping his hands together.
