It was unknown to Alpha Tristan that he and Alpha Denzel were in a cold war as Alpha Denzel’s grudge against Alpha Tristan was one-sided

Denzel was only waiting for Valerie to take her own revenge against Tristan so for now, he forced himself to bite down his anger, though he was still the cold menacing Alpha, Tristan knew.

"What do you want?"

Tristan panicked slightly upon hearing Alpha Denzel’s voice as there was no warmth in it. Also, the first time he saw Alpha Denzel at such a close range was at the coronation and Alphas’ conference so he still did not have a relationship with Denzel.

"Please. I want to speak to Luna Valerie. It’s quite urgent." Tristan’s voice trembled slightly at the end of the line. Alpha Denzel, though young, had a naturally deep and authoritative voice, which even Alphas feared.

It could sound alluring and seductive if he spoke softly but this time, it was hard. "She’s dead."

Alpha Tristan was surprised that Alpha Denzel had a sense of humor as he knew that Valerie was very much alive. "I don’t think so."

"Are you challenging me?" Alpha Denzel was growing furious and impatient, as he didn’t want Valerie to fall asleep before his return.

"No but..." Tristan wanted to mention that someone has been threatening him for Valerie’s sake but suddenly kept his mouth shut. That would only expose his evil deeds against Valerie with Scarlet.

"Everyone would have heard that she’s dead and you said to make her suffer, rather than kill her."

Denzel had a ready answer. "She got me angry so I killed her."

"I..." Alpha Tristan was speechless. Among the Alphas, he was the most fearful of Alpha Denzel since none of his lineage had been an Alpha before. It was just by chance that he happened to be mated to Valerie.

Alpha Denzel on the other hand, came from a line of Alphas so naturally, it was engraved in his bones. "I’m hanging up."

"Please. I really need to speak to her concerning the pack’s business. I had no knowledge about it before taking over the pack." Tristan pleaded before Denzel ended the call like he wanted to do before.

Alpha Denzel smiled internally. Tristan was the most foolish warrior he ever met. He did not even take the time to learn anything from Valerie before giving her title to her kid sister.

The dumb kid sister equally had nothing to offer. Two dumb couples they were. Or maybe, Tristan thought that Scarlet knew a lot about the pack business, for which reason he confidently rejected Valerie.

So sad, the pack could not be helped. Alpha Denzel saw even the pack members beat and embarrass the women who once cared for them. For as long as he was concerned, none of them deserved mercy.

They all had to suffer. "It’s rather unfortunate that her ashes were washed away by rain. That too cannot help you." That said, Alpha Denzel ended the call.

At the other side of the line, Alpha Tristan was sweating hard. He had no understanding of the numbers he was seeing and what to pay the pack members and warriors. Then the casual workers in the pack. He just didn’t know where Valerie kept those records.

What he couldn’t also ask was the code number to the safe where the pack’s money was kept. That safe was unbreakable and they had already exhausted all their funds with the accountants.

Unaware of this from the beginning, he had also allowed more deposits to be made into the pack’s major safe so the pack was rich but the members were suffering as the money could not be touched.

It was easy for anyone to deposit money into it but only one person had the password to withdraw from it.

"Alpha, what do we do? We have to pay for the items shipped. Pack members salaries have also not been paid," the accountant said with a frustrated sigh.

If he had known that Alpha Tristan did not have the password to the major safe, he would have held on to some payments until they figured it out but that did not happen.

Alpha Tristan was sweating hard. Barely a month without Valerie and everything was in chaos. "I’m trying my best. Alpha Denzel said Luna Valerie is dead."

The accountant laughed at how foolish his Alpha was, not caring to hide it. Seeing that Alpha Tristan was upset, he explained slowly.

"He might be pulling your legs because you wanted to kill her."

"What do you mean by that?" Alpha Tristan felt insulted.

The accountant explained calmly. "I heard from one of the Evergreen Pack members that she showed up at training and even slapped Alpha Denzel."

Alpha Tristan’s heart stopped at the news. "Does it mean..." he thought, then instantly confirmed what he was thinking. "Then he must have really killed her," he muttered helplessly.

The accountant wanted to laugh at his dumb Alpha.

It was not enough to be a skilled warrior.

Being an Alpha Required a lot more "That is not what I heard from my friends at the Evergreen pack. Alpha Denzel was upset but said Luna Valerie wanted a fight but he won’t give it to her.

He only embarrassed her after and she left. "

Alpha Tristan was ashamed of being fooled but could only blame himself for his lack of patience. His eagerness to stop hiding his relationship with Scarlet and to keep her by his side caused him to make some rush decisions.

"Thank you for the information. I will call him again."

He fidgeted with his phone before gathering the courage to dial Alpha Denzel’s number once more. Alpha Denzel was just about to enter Valerie’s room when his phone rang again. Seeing the caller ID, he was greatly annoyed but answered it.

"What do you want this time?"

Tristan calmed his trembling hand holding the phone before he responded. "I heard that she’s there and was even at training."

Alpha Denzel found his retort funny but could not bring himself to laugh. "So, you finally did your investigations. Well, to you, she’s dead because that is what you wanted," Alpha Denzel revealed, confirming Alpha Tristan’s accountant’s words.

Embarrassment reddened his face when he thought about how his accountant even made out Alpha Denzel’s mockery of him. "I wasn’t the only one who rejected her."

Alpha Denzel scoffed. "I rejected her too but thought it better for her to be alive. You were just a second from killing her if I hadn’t stepped in."

Alpha Tristan felt guilty and could only plead out his case. "Please tell me. What can I do to have a word with her?"
