Allessia stared at her challengingly and taunted, "I thought the dungeon was meant for such people." Her subtle words meaning that if Alpha Denzel saw Valerie as a slave, then he would have sent her to the dungeon or the shacks where the Omegas lived.

Seeing Adria’s dark gaze, she added, "Anyway, I see your kind of torture. It’s the slow one, more like Alpha Denzel’s style."

"Let’s go," Adira insisted, eager to get Allessia out of there, but Allessia was worried because of how the handprints and bruises remained on Luna Valerie’s face. In her heart, Alpha Denzel must have authorized Adira to do all these, including injuring Valerie’s foot.

The bandage wrapped around her foot, which was now stained with blood, made her heart shatter. She wondered what exactly Valerie had been going through to have not healed up till now.

"Go ahead. I brought some clothes for Valerie. My personal gift. I sent some earlier, but I can see you like them."

She glared at the clothes Adira wore with disdain and anger. Adira stiffened slightly, knowing she had been caught. She recalled vividly that the warrior who brought in the clothes the same day Alpha Denzel brought Valerie to the pack had not mentioned who sent them.

Most probably, he had forgotten to add the message attached to the items. It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford such clothes from how much she was being paid as a beta, but there was just something about these clothes which made her feel like Alpha Denzel bought them.

It was rare for him to buy female stuff, so if he did, then the only person deserving of it was Adira.

"You are the one who sent them?" Disappointment laced her voice, her throat felt dry.

"I told the warrior to add the message to it, but I guess he forgot to tell you. Since you didn’t know, you are pardoned."

Allessia smiled upon seeing the disappointed look in Adira’s eyes. Having the urge to wipe every suspicion that the clothes were indeed bought by Alpha Denzel, she asked mockingly, "Did you think he would enter the women’s collection to buy female clothes?"

Adira stormed out of the room without as much as a response, feeling humiliated as Allessia smiled at Valerie, saying, "my Alpha is waiting. I will try to see you before I leave."

"Have we met before?" Valerie suddenly asked as she felt that Allessia looked familiar, but Allessia had already left the room. A warrior walked in with shopping bags and snacks. He bowed respectfully and spoke politely,

"Luna, clothes and snacks from our gamma Allessia."

Valerie thought about Alpha Idris from the Litha Moon pack. Whereas she never thought that their pack was big enough to have a gamma.

Gammas were the next in command to the betas, but most packs with efficient Alphas and betas did not see the need for a gamma. But why did she feel that Allessia was so much like Alpha Denzel?

As Allessia made her way back to the packhouse, she dialed a number, pouring out her rage.

"Denzel. How dare you do this to Valerie? Are you crazy? You rejected her because you believe she cheated? You are just as evil as Tristan and Scarlet."

She took a deep breath and continued with her accusation. "Then you brought her to your pack and injured her foot. How could you? I met Valerie a few times, and she would never do the things she was accused of. Then what? You ordered your beta to torture her. If she dies, I will kill myself. I...."

She was cut off by the deep, masculine and domineering voice. "What did you say? Adira did what?"

"Don’t pretend to be righteous. If you did not permit her, she wouldn’t have the audacity to slap Luna Valerie.

The fingerprints are there as proof. I don’t know what happened to her foot, but there were other bruises on her face.

If her wolf could not heal her, then it means the injury is serious, isn’t it? "

Alpha Denzel relaxed a little when he realized it wasn’t as serious as he thought. Allessia was good at exaggerating anyway. "What are you even doing in my pack? Did you forget my warning?"

From Evergreen pack, Allessia was greatly disappointed. "I knew it. You don’t care about her." Her voice was already teary as she added, "I came with Alpha Idris. He had some matters to discuss with you concerning Valerie."

Alpha Denzel extended his long slender hand, and Godic fixed a cigar in between his two fingers. Somebody had gotten his Alpha upset again. After lighting the cigar, Alpha Denzel puffed before speaking,

"Then he should have informed me earlier about his coming. My pack is not a tourist attraction. Even those have opening and closing time."

"Denzel," Allessia was growing frustrated, explaining after biting down her anger. "Alpha Idris sent a letter two weeks ago. Did your beta not inform you?"

Alpha Denzel’s fingers tightened around the phone. Knowing about the reef between Adira and Allessia, he couldn’t just take everything Allessia was telling him with a pinch of salt.

After all, Adira had taken great care of the pack in his absence. Maybe, she must have forgotten about the letter due to the pack pressure and not informed him about it.

"I’m busy. I will call you later, but you and your Alpha should keep your legs out of my pack."

"Denzel..." only the beeping sound of the phone was heard, meaning that he hung up on her. There was no telling of whether or not he was even coming over. Allessia smiled bitterly before continuing to the pack house.

At the warehouse, Alpha Denzel stood up and instructed, "Record his confession and send it to me. I have things to take care of."

Godic nodded his head but inched closer and asked in a hushed tone, "what about him. Should we finish him off?"

"If you finish him off, what evidence would we have when the need arises?"

Sighing from his thoughtlessness, Godic responded, "Alright. We shall take care of him."

With the warriors, taking care of a person meant torture. Alpha Denzel did not refuse, figuring that his presence was needed at the pack for a while due to Alpha Idris’ request, he scoffed internally.

Whoever wanted Valerie would have to go through the fire to get her. "I will be away for a while. Call me if there is a need for anything," he said with a tone of urgency, eager to reach the pack in time...
