Adira carried Valerie to Luna’s chamber and, upon reaching there, she violently dropped the latter on the bed, panting and annoyed.

Valerie did not react, enduring the pain as usual, since Alpha Denzel’s behavior disturbed her greatly. It was as if he was protecting her from something she didn’t know about.

However, the Luna’s chamber reminded her of her room in the Yellowstone pack. She had taken time to decorate it herself, using her favorite colors. This room looked unused and was yet to be decorated, but it was as large as hers.

Suddenly, memories of her late father and elder sister Ashley flooded her mind. The feeling that Ashley was the one who attacked the Yellowstone pack weighed heavily on her heart, and she so desperately wanted to see her.

However, she was also eager to know how the conversation between Alpha Denzel and Idris would go. Somehow, she felt it would be easier to escape from the Litha Moon Pack than here.

"Don’t think that being in this room makes you important. You are nothing in this pack," Adira spat. If she had known that Alpha Denzel would do this, she would have taken Valerie to one of the other rooms.

Who knew that her excuse would give Valerie better than she deserved? Gritting her teeth, she turned around and stormed out of the room. Leaning her back against the door after closing it, she smiled faintly.

’Valerie, you just wait until Alpha Denzel leaves for Las Vegas. The next call he would receive concerning you would be about your cremation.’

Alpha Denzel walked into his pack office with Alpha Idris. Tension brewed between them for different reasons. The two men had an unsettled score, but now, Valerie’s presence only worsened it.

"What brings you here?" Alpha Denzel walked to the cellar, serving two glasses of vodka. Alpha Idris picked one without being told.

The two Alphas might be at loggerheads, but Alpha Idris knew that Alpha Denzel would never spike his drink. At this moment, they both needed the hot drink to calm their raging emotions.

"The Blue Blood pack declared war on our pack. Mom asked me to seek your help," Alpha Idris revealed.

The mention of his mom instantly made Alpha Denzel weak. His gaze softened uncontrollably, and so was his voice. "How is she?"

Alpha Idris sneered. "As beautiful as ever. Sadly, she will never be your real mom."

He gulped down the glass of vodka, filling the goblet himself. His chest constricted at the way his mother doted on Alpha Denzel in the name of being his Godmother. Idris was certain that if he and Denzel were drowning, his mother might even rescue Denzel before him.

Alpha Denzel smiled faintly, not commenting on the matter. His love for Luna Fernanda, Alpha Idris’s mother, was exceptional. For years, he avoided going to see her because of so many things he didn’t want to share.

With Luna Fernanda, Denzel’s innocence was always bare like that of a child. There was no way he could hide it all from her. As such, it was better to avoid the woman whom he saw to be a weakness.

After his mother and father were mysteriously murdered, the only person able to console Denzel was Luna Fernanda. He had spent months at the Litha Moon Pack with that amazing woman who showered him with so much love.

"How is Allesia?" He fought back his raging emotions, pretending not to know about the things that happened before his arrival. Also, he was trying his best to keep to himself and not go to see his godmother.

"I came with her. She might be roaming around your pack as we speak, and since you like her so much, why don’t you make her your pack member? I don’t really like the way she’s so fond of you," Alpha Idris shrugged in annoyance.

The fact that his parents adopted Allesia without his consent caused his blood to boil. She was brought to the Litha Moon Pack when she was ten. At the time, Idris liked Allessia, accepting her as a sister because she was pretty.

Then the moment Denzel visited the pack, Allesia would not stop talking about him. She even went as far as spending months at the Evergreen pack but was sent away by Denzel for whatever reason he could not tell.

How could Idris like Allessia when all she ever saw was Denzel, the man who had stolen his mother’s love from him? Even his mother never stopped singing Denzel’s praises, much to his father’s annoyance.

Sadly, when Alpha Ebert from the Blue Blood Pack issued the threat, Idris had to swallow his pride and shamelessly seek Alpha Denzel’s help, using his mother’s name.

When he sent the letters a few weeks ago and didn’t get a response to them, he feared that Alpha Denzel would not help, resulting in that means.

"Tell Luna Fernanda that I will pay her a visit soon," Alpha Denzel smiled and said. Alpha Idris’s gaze darkened at the way his gaze would soften and a smile would stretch his lips the moment his mother’s name was mentioned.

His heart ached painfully as he didn’t want to be a castaway as a result of Denzel’s presence.

"Don’t come. Your pack needs you. All I need is for you to send a letter to the Blue Blood Pack, registering your support for us. They won’t think of the war anymore if they know that you stand with us," Idris explained his plan.

Denzel’s presence would only cover his glimmer.

"Adira is capable," Alpha Denzel dropped his goblet, opened his drawer, and brought out a pack of cigars. Offering one to Alpha Idris, he lit his before throwing the lighter to the latter.

Alpha Idris accepted the cigar, speaking after lighting it. "Have you really looked at her?"

Alpha Denzel walked to the window, puffing his cigar as he took in the events of the pack from the clear window glass. He spoke with his back turned.

"Then I have to ask why you are so fond of her." There was no hint of suspicion in his tone, but Alpha Idris stiffened instantly.
