Dinner Invitation
Ellis.
We have been investigating the attack that happened. News of the death of that young boy, Nelson, spread like wildfire, and the pack was scared. They looked at me for protection and assurance in these
restless times.
The girl survived, however, she couldn't tell us anything as she did not remember what happened. She only remembers the voice of Love telling her to hold on.
My first suspect was Maleck, but we had evidence that he was here when the attack happened. Regardless, | was still skeptical. He might be working with other people to destroy us. He might hope this would be a good idea to be allowed the challenge he was denied.
Often when attacks consistently happen in a pack as large and wealthy as ours without catching the culprit, the council call for a vote of no confidence, and anyone with the right blood could challenge an alpha for the position.
We tightened security around the pack, and patrol doubled.
We should place more men on the Northern border,” Jace said over the video call. He was still in the Aqua Lycan Pack.
When are you coming back?” | asked him. He exhaled.
In two days. | need to be with Eratu at the clinic as she undergoes the... Abortion,” he said quietly.
“Are you alright, Jace,” | knew he was hurting, but | didn’t know what to say to him.
It feels so wrong,” he mumbled.
| know,” | expelled air in my lungs, thinking about my children. I’d never let anyone hurt them, not even their mother.
How are things with Lilac,” | changed the topic,
She’s still hurting, but I’m keeping my hope,” he said, and | nodded. Michael opened the door to my den. | stared at my other friend, unable to utter a word at what | saw. | moved my laptop so that Jace could see.
“What?” Michael asked.

‘Dude, what the f uck!” Jace yelled.
I'm going for more gender-neutral clothes,”
That’s a f ucking dress coat... and why is it fur,” Jace asked.
Ever since we were young, | knew Michael was more to the female side of things. He was never into roughhousing like us, and we accepted that. But lately, he’s more expressive with his choices unlike he was before. | never said anything as | knew he was navigating his path toward self-discovery and acceptance, but Jace was always giving him a hard time for liking women’s stuff. They bickered a lot over that.
“Enough. Michael, shall we go to the office now? | need to pick up important documents before going to the pack,” | told him, and het nodded.
‘Two minutes. I'll get changed,” he said and left the room.
You can wear that around us and not outside!” Bellowed Jace.
‘The outside is not too advanced and is a little mean to a powerful man in a dress,” Michael said as he shut the door.
Alright, Jace. Also while you are there, don’t forget to ask Alpha Ajax about the renewal of the treaty,” | told him.
“Luna Rosia wanted us to host the mating ball. Is that possible?” He asked. | sighed, normally alphas didn’t make such decisions. It’s the duty of the Luna, but since we didn’t have one | had to handle it.
‘We should make Love our Luna soon,’ Lias said, excitement bubbling from him. He was a lovesick puppy.
Let's not run before we can walk buddy. Love needs more time,’ | told him. He was disappointed, but he knew | was right. | hurt her a lot in the past, and | didn’t expect her to jump right into my arms.
For now, she can discuss it with Zey. She'll be helping me out,” | informed him.
Great. I'll arrange a meeting between them,”
We went to the office building. However, as we entered the lobby, there were employees gathered at the entrance. There were whispers and gasps... Oh f uck. There was a fight. | wondered how | missed that aggressive ambiance. Love’s aura. pushed a few employees out of my way, and my eyes widened to see Love. Her eyes were glowing, and her claws were extended. She was f ucking hot.
‘So s exy,’ Lias purred.
| looked closer and saw she was fighting Charlotte. Charlotte was on the floor, covered in blood. Love lunged at Charlotte again, but intercepted her, lifting her and throwing her on my shoulder. She was kicking and punching my back and wanting me to release her.
placed her on the ground, and she took some time to adjust to the environment. She was angry, and | wondered what Charlotte said to make her this way.
Ellis,”
She sounded angry towards me. Michael and | exchanged a glance.
Love, are you alright?” | asked her, raising my hand to touch her cheek. She had a claw mark, but she swatted my hand away. “Don’t touch me,” She hissed.
What did Charlotte do this time?” Michael took the question right out of my mouth. It was clear Love wouldn't assault anyone unless they deserved it. Jamie, Love’s secretary answered,
Miss Casa threatened my boss's children,”
Agrowl escaped my lips.
‘How dare she!’ Lias growled in my head. He was as angry as | was. | would have to deal with Charlotte.
That f ucking mate of yours came to my workplace, trying to tarnish. my reputation. She's f ucking pathetic,” Love sizzled. Her alpha aura was taking charge like a raging inferno. She pointed her slender finger at me in anger,
“You better warn her to stay keep my children’s names out of her f ucking mouth because | will kill her! she growled.
“| will deal with her,” | said firmly, and she nodded. Love was still growling for a moment.
Get the driver, Jamie,” she ordered. The man grabbed the phone and made a call.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
I'll take you home. | promised to see the kids,” she nodded without argument. | drove her home, and the whole way she was silent, and looking out the window.
Michael tried to make conversation but Love wasn't in the mood to chat.
Once we reached her home. The kids who were playing outside noticed us and ran towards us. Oh, | missed them so much. 25 BONUS
