On the other end of the line, Burke, who never questioned his Alpha’s motives, seemed surprised this time. After Luna Valerie’s ordeal in the training room with the Alpha, they all thought the Alpha was upset with her.

Was he testing her strength to give in to her request for a fight with him? "Alpha, is she going to become a pack member?"

Alpha Denzel was irritated by his courage to ask this question. "Burke, you have become bold." There was hint of a warning in his tone.

"I’m sorry, Alpha, I will do as you have instructed."

Alpha Denzel returned the phone to Alpha Idris, who was in the middle of a mind link. He waited for it to end before returning the phone as Alpha Idris spoke.

"Are you sure you aren’t running away because of Adira? One of the maids said she saw her coming out of your room in tears. She shouldn’t scare you to leave, you know?" Alpha Idris thought that Alpha Denzel was afraid of being set up or something.

It was very rampant with desperate she-wolves and he wanted to assure Alpha Denzel that should something like that happen, his words would hold more water than that of Adira. Alpha Denzel shook his head. Adira was not even on his mind.

He was just thinking about the war coming since he already got Beta Troy on his side.

It was far easier than he expected. Now, he just had to wait for the confirmation that the money had been retrieved, as he did not want to be flagged as an armed robber by going for it himself, and that would be to do it through a war.

Using that method would send the news that he robbed the Night Shade Pack without anyone knowing the depth of the matter since he would be unwilling to explain it.

"She can never scare me to leave. My pack needs me, and I have to be there, that is all," Alpha Denzel said casually, putting on his shoes. The call he was making to Burke was so important that he had not bothered to wear them before doing so.

"Mom would miss you, and I never thought I would be so comfortable with your presence. It’s almost as if I would never see you again." Alpha Idris almost had tears in his eyes, understanding the reason why his mother devoted all her time to Alpha Denzel whenever he came around.

This was the first time they related like real cousins and he regretted not making good use of the years they had together before, when he always saw Alpha Denzel as an enemy because of his mother’s fondness for him.

Alpha Denzel equally knew he would miss Luna Fernanda.

This was the first time he came to the pack without spending time with her, and yet, she always brought him two meals a day.

She would have made it three except that Alpha Denzel usually had brunch, and by the time he would have lunch, it was already evening.

He never had an early breakfast, so that limited his food intake to a maximum of two.

"You are free to visit whenever peace returns to the pack," Alpha Denzel encouraged him as Alpha Idris frowned a little.

"But I haven’t heard of a war."

Alpha Denzel didn’t know how to explain it and subtly said, "Some wars are silent. I will be in touch." He patted Alpha Idris on the shoulder and began to walk ahead, but Alpha Idris ran after him.

"Since you are leaving, let’s have a meal together. Mom might be cooking now, and I don’t think you want her hard work to be in vain."

Alpha Denzel had a faint smile on his face. How could he let Luna Fernanda’s hard work be in vain? She poured love into everything she did.

"I think you are right. Let’s have a meal together."

"And you don’t mind if I tag along for today, right? You are leaving anyway," Alpha Idris said, still following Alpha Denzel.

Irritation was slowly filling Alpha Denzel’s chest, but he somehow endured it because of Alpha Idris’s words. Indeed, it was his last day at the Litha Moon Pack. When they entered the room together, Alpha Denzel was glad to have given in to Alpha Idris’s request.

Pushing the door open, Adira jumped from the bed in shock, looking everywhere for her clothes, ashamed and embarrassed.

She hadn’t given up after what happened last night, thinking of completing it, but how could she have thought that Alpha Denzel would return with Alpha Idris?

"Stop blushing like a virgin. It’s not as if I haven’t seen you naked," Alpha Idris thought to embarrass her further. She was a disgrace to the Litha Moon Pack and beginning to get on his nerves.

Alpha Denzel did not bother giving the she-wolf a glance, instantly walking into the shower room. Nakedness was not a thing of interest among them, except it involved one’s mate. Almost everyone had seen each other naked as a result of shifts during wars.

Clothes would get torn, so only the naked body would stand after a transformation until the pack omegas brought emergency clothes. It’s just awkward if it happens indoors like this and what Adira had done earlier.

When she was about to leave, Alpha Idris grabbed her arm. "Unfortunately for you, I’m not interested anymore, and sadly, that Alpha isn’t too. Come to think of it, you can’t be my gamma anymore, as the maids already know about this."

Adira could not imagine being demoted because of her attempt to seduce Alpha Denzel. It would be too shameful. "I’m so sorry, Alpha Idris. It won’t happen again. I was just afraid you’d tell him about what you heard the last time."

"Adira, you have to understand one cannot eat their cake and still have it."

Adira left, not understanding the context in which Alpha Idris said those words.

When Alpha Denzel came out, not only was he dressed, but his bags were also packed from the closet.

He dropped them in his car before they sat at the dining table with Luna Fernanda and the old Alpha to have a decent meal.

The atmosphere was one of merriment, and after it was over, they walked Alpha Denzel to his car. He was already close to the pack when he received a call. It was from Burke. "Alpha, why send us when you already sent another team?"

Alpha Denzel was confused, his heart rate unsteady. "What are you talking about?" There was already a growl in his voice, as if he was going to attack somebody through the phone.

"Alpha, there is already an attack on Luna Valerie. I don’t know if we should get involved."
