She ran to the washbasin to rinse the metallic taste out of her mouth, enduring the pain of being bitten a few times on the tongue when she kept resisting. At least she was grateful that he didn’t go further.

He didn’t touch her or anything else. Obviously, he was just punishing her and equally did not derive any pleasure from it. It was clear that she had pissed him off this time by his next words.

"The next time you call me a monster or disobey my orders, it will be on my bed, and I will make sure that you are not able to walk again," he said in a hoarse voice. Alpha Denzel did not understand how he was feeling.

Was it because she was half-naked? There was a strange fire sparked through him, and he knew that if he didn’t leave at this moment, he would do something he would regret later.

The attraction he felt towards his rejected mate was so intense, but since it was one-sided, any wrong move would ruin everything.

As the understanding settled, fear crept inside Valerie. She whimpered as tears blurred her eyes. Alpha Denzel, after calming down, was suddenly remorseful, cursing himself internally for losing control. It was so unlike him.

When she put on the tough fa?ade, he even forgot that she lost her wolf. She was just human now and more vulnerable. Since he had worked with humans a lot, he understood what she was going through. To make up for hurting her feelings again, he said, "Alessia will come and see you after training."

He turned around and left to prevent losing control. As soon as he was done with Alpha Conrad, he was sure to take her with him to Las Vegas. Perhaps she would begin to develop feelings for him from then on.

Valerie was shocked that he actually left training to come and do this to her. Not wanting to leave any evidence behind, he only caused damage to her tongue, but she would be fine in a few hours.

Valerie knew she was playing with fire, but at least she got what she wanted. Also, she heard how deadly Alpha Denzel was. However, he never hit her, even when she humiliated him by punching him in the face. Thinking through it, his behavior towards her was strange.

The more she thought about it, the greater her confusion as she comforted herself with the fact that Alessia would be coming to see her like before, deciding to cook for both of them.

Alpha Denzel returned before training was over. His mood seemed to have brightened as well. When training was over, he instructed Alessia to move the she-wolf in the changing room to the packhouse.

Alpha Denzel lingered around, and after everyone dispersed, he went out and climbed another tree.

He hated what Valerie did, but it was also a good opportunity to catch another traitor, as he was certain that Alpha Conrad would hear about it. It wasn’t long before he found what he was looking for.

"Alpha, Kailani has been exposed and apprehended."

"-Alpha Denzel caught her with a phone."

"She was still at the changing room when I left, but I don’t know if she confessed."

"Well, Luna Valerie showed up at training, wanting to fight with the Alpha, but he insisted she fought with Beta Alessia. Somehow, he mentioned the incident with Alpha Tristan, she got upset and punched him in the face."

"He humiliated her, and she ran away."

"We still had training, so we couldn’t chase after her to find out where she resides."

"They don’t seem to get along well."

"You like her? I think Alpha Denzel will let her go if you ask him. He doesn’t seem to care about her."

"No. There hasn’t been any woman around him, and even with Alessia, they don’t seem to have a good relationship."

"Kidnap? That will be impossible. The guards are alert and can’t be bought. There are special guards watching over Beta Alessia because she’s a woman. I don’t think your men can capture her."

"As for Luna Valerie, she remains a mystery. We don’t know where she is and if there is any form of protection around her. But if you just kidnap her, won’t the Alpha be upset?"

"Alright. I will wait for your cue."

As soon as he ended the call, he heard a stomp on the ground. Alpha Denzel jumped from the tree as a result of anger, landing on the floor with a squat before rising to his feet, his gaze dangerously dark.

Seemed this was the main spy, not involved in the stealing aspect. Alpha Denzel was beginning to wonder how many more of his warriors Alpha Conrad was able to win to his side. Did it have to do with his mate too? If that was the case, then he would feel helpless in the situation.

"A..Alpha," he muttered, horrified at the sight of Alpha Denzel. A slap buzzed through his ears, causing the left side to be temporarily deaf.

"Sage, who were you talking to?" Alpha Denzel questioned in a dangerously low growl. Sage stared at him with fear in his eyes but did not relent.

"No one, Alpha." He was about to press something on the phone, but Alpha Denzel snatched it from him and slapped him once more, his face feeling numb on both sides, as if he just had a stroke.

"Password," Alpha Denzel demanded. Sage quickly mentioned it this time. The slap must have interfered with tissues in his brain because it wasn’t an ordinary one. "What did Alpha Conrad say?" Alpha Denzel asked after confirming he was the one Sage was speaking with.

The warrior was still vehemently stubborn, as if he held a grudge against Alpha Denzel. "I can’t tell you."

Alpha Denzel was both disappointed and upset. For a person like this, he seemed to have betrayed the pack by selfish means as there was no remorse in his eyes. Alpha Denzel was one who would look beyond the crime to the person’s intentions, and in doing so, Sage was not innocent.

"Before I kill you, you shall watch your family die first," he threatened, seeming to have hit a sour spot suddenly. Sage had a mate but didn’t have a child yet. His parents were also alive, so he couldn’t watch them die.

Pain shone in his eyes. "I’m the one in the wrong. Please leave my family out of it."

"Then get talking," Alpha Denzel pressed on. Left with no choice and for the sake of his family, Sage began his confession after ensuring it was only him and Alpha Denzel in the woods, under the tree.

"I’ve been spying for Alpha Conrad for two years now."

Alpha Denzel, though expecting it, was still in shock. "You? Why? Does he have something against you?" He asked. Though upset, his voice lost its hardness, as he hoped that Sage was not completely rotten.

"No. I only have something against you," Sage said to his shock. Alpha Denzel asked, this time calmly,

"What is that?"
