“You are reading wrongly. The main person I am fond
of is Luna Valerie. I never had the chance to be close to her when her father was alive. Her exceptional skills would be of great help to my pack.”
Alpha Idris rattled on, trying to change the line of conversation. His past with Adira must not be revealed to Alpha Denzel. If not, he might not help the Litha Moon Pack.
pha Denzel turned from the French windows, gazing tently at Alpha Idris with so much coldness in his eyes. The temperature in the office dropped to zero degrees in spite of the burning cigar stuffed between both their fingers.
“Can I ask you a question?”

Alpha Idris could not measure Alpha Denzel’s sudden change to either his talk about Valerie or Adira, but one thing was sure. “Even if I don’t, you will still insist.”
The corner of Alpha Denzel’s lips curled up in a sinister smile. With his unwavering dark gaze, Alpha Idris was so uncomfortable. “Were you at the Alphas
conference?”
“Yes,” Alpha Idris caught a breather since Alpha Denzel’s question was related to the Alphas’ conference. He feared it was concerning Adira, but the estion that followed beaded his forehead with sweat.
“Why couldn’t you stop Alpha Tristan from murdering Valerie since you love her skills so much?”
Alpha Idris was rendered speechless. There were so many Alphas, so how could he have stood up for her

alone? Though he doubted the evidence, he knew he was a coward to watch it happen.
Had Alpha Denzel not interfered, Valerie would not have been alive now. However, being certain that Valerie was being tortured, he took a deep breath, and his confidence returned.
“The news was shocking at that moment, but from the recent attack, I believe that she’s innocent. Most possibly, I want to make her my Luna.”
The cigar in Alpha Denzel’s hand fell, and Alpha Idris’s back was pinned against the wall. Alpha Denzel’s voice was rough, his eyes glazing with anger.
His wolf growled, “Well then you have to open your eyes wider. She is my s lave. My sl ave. Only I have the right to do whatever I want with her.”

Alpha Idris did not try to fight back or free himself,
knowing that Alpha Denzel would not hurt him because of his mother. But as he tried to connect the
dots, he just couldn’t understand. “Why?”
Alpha Denzel’s grip loosened around Alpha Idris’s shirt
as he took a step back. “Because she owes me her life. Anything else?” He glared daringly at Alpha Idris.
The latter shook his head, feeling sad and helpless. His second reason, which he refused to mention, was the fact that his mother had a profound interest in Valerie. He was sure that bringing Valerie with him would
ake his mother happy.
“What if you find out that she was innocent of all those accusations? The mate bond is already broken, so what are you gonna do about it?”
Something flashed in Alpha Denzel’s eyes at the question. He knew that Valerie was innocent of the

18 Chapter 18-unexpected recommendation.
accusations labeled against her, but she wasn’t free from what she did to him. At this point, he was done speaking with Alpha Idris.
“Why is that your worry? I would very much like for you to leave my pack.”
Alpha Idris’s eyes stung with tears, but how could he let it fall. It was true that he had been a coward. Had he stood for Valerie then, she would have been with him. Still, his cowardice then was not enough reason for him to give up. “I want to have a word with Luna Valerie.”
Alpha Denzel glared at him and responded curtly, “My answer is simple. NO.”
If it were any Alpha, he would have been kicked out of the pack by now, but for the fact that this Alpha’s mother was so dear to him, his soft side showed, and Alpha Idris was slowly taking advantage of it.

“Alpha Denzel, I will wait until you change your mind.”
“Then you can sleep in the middle of the pack, but as for my pack house, it will no longer host you.”
Indirectly, Alpha Idris was being kicked out of the packhouse, even if he couldn’t be kicked out of the pack.
That was Alpha Denzel’s mercy, and Alpha Idris would not be surprised if his belongings were thrown out of the Packhouse at Alpha Denzel’s command.
esorted to pleading. “I need her. I need Luna valerie. I need a strong female warrior to help train our female warriors for any impending attack.” Seeing no change in Alpha Denzel’s expression, he added coyly, “Mom mentioned it too.”
Mentioning his mother once again, Alpha Denzel found himself softening his temper cooling down.
< 18 Chapter 18-unexpected recommendation.
“You need a female skillful warrior? I will get you a good one.”
Alpha Idris was quite amazed by the suggestion, feeling that he was going to have Luna Valerie. After all, the most skillful female warrior was Beta Adira. Alpha Denzel would never let her go, so who else could he offer?
Alpha Idris smiled in satisfaction. “I am very much interested in your recommendation.”
“Just wait and see, and while you wait, please help VOU If to breakfast at the packhouse,” Alpha Denzel ly. He was not much of a good host, as those onsibilities were spearheaded by Adira.
Adira was in the middle of training when she was interrupted by a mindlink. ‘Adira, kindly see me in my office now.’

‘Yes, Alpha. I will do so as soon as training is over.’
‘Put Burke in charge and come now. The mindlink was so commanding, it gave her a headache. Burke was the strongest male warrior in the pack, even stronger than Adira. She sighed.
‘Yes, Alpha.’
Adira rushed to the Alpha’s office, dabbing her face with a towel as she sat in front of him. “Is everything alright?” She asked curiously
Alpha Denzel should have even joined the pack warriors for training but remained in his office. She

found it weird.
“I must commend you for doing a very good job,” Alpha Denzel spoke calmly, but his eyes were distant. However, Adira was excited about the compliment. After everything, he still believed and trusted her. It meant more to her than anything else.
“Thank you, Alpha.”
“Alpha Idris needs a skilled female warrior to help in his pack,” Alpha Denzel said directly, and Adira frowned a little.
“But he already has Allessia.”
Knowing Allessia’s capabilities, Alpha Denzel shook his head. “I don’t think she’s strong enough for him. If not, he won’t be here so, I’m recommending you,” he said, and Adira turned ashen. 2

“I don’t think she’s strong enough for him. If not, he wouldn’t be here, so I’m recommending you,” Alpha Denzel said, and Adira turned ashen. After all her
years of service and dedication, Alpha Denzel chose to send her to another pack just like that?

Adira fought back the tears welling up in her eyes. The revelation was too shocking and unexpected. Though there were other strong she wolves, they were not capable of managing the pack business alongside the training. Adira hoped it wasn’t what she was thinking.
at?” Pain registered in her eyes as she spoke. Taking a deep breath, she asked Alpha Denzel, “What if I don’t want to go? It’s unfair. You can’t force me.”
After what happened between her and Alpha Idris, she never wanted to be in the same space as him. Besides,
19 Chapter 19-His Most Trustworthy Person
she was in love with Alpha Denzel and didn’t want to
leave his side.
Also, if she leaves, what happens to Valerie, now that she was moved to the packhouse? In the Luna’s chamber for that matter. Adira was feeling hot all over.
Alpha Denzel stared calmly at her, his heart breaking at the sight of her. He poured himself a glass of water. He hadn’t eaten anything since yesterday, and the alcohol and cigar were beginning to worry his stomach.
hy don’t you want to do this? This is part of pack business,” Alpha Denzel reminded her. As the Alpha, he could appoint whomever he wanted to support any pack as needed.
In Adira’s case, Alpha Denzel had lost trust in her, and as a man of few words, this was his style of handling things.

19 Chapter 19-His Most Trustworthy Person
Adira smiled bitterly, remembering that Alpha Idris had specifically requested Luna Valerie, so why then was she the one being sent away? In Alpha Denzel’s eyes, was Valerie, his s lave, more valuable to him than his
beta?
“He wanted Valerie, so why are you shipping me off? I have done nothing but taken good care of this pack. It’s equally my home.”
Her voice was stern as she faced Alpha Denzel. This was the first time she had the courage to ever speak to
this manner.
Expecting him to be upset, he was still calm and calculated. No matter what, his true intention for sending her away was locked inside his heart, as he gave out a perfect excuse.
“That is why you are my most trustworthy person. Do
you
19 Chapter 19-His Most Trustworthy Person
think Valerie would sneak out information to me? I
need you to keep an eye on him for me.”
Adira relaxed when she felt that it wasn’t as she
thought. Alpha Denzel wanted her to be his spy at the Litha Moon pack, but since she didn’t want to be away from him, she wasn’t thrilled about the offer.
“I can do that from here. I hate him. I hate Alpha Idris,” she stated, but Alpha Denzel was upset. He hated lies, but Adira had been lying to him continuously, and he
had reached his limit.

19 Chapter 19-His Most Trustworthy Person
Alpha Denzel felt suffocated and began to expose her.
This wasn’t his style, but he was pushed to the limit this time.
“Is that how it is? That you go about f ucking with the men you hate?”
Adira was speechless, her face drained of color. All this time, Alpha Denzel knew, and yet, he pretended not to. As to how he knew, she could not guess, but was
beginning to wonder how many more secrets he knew about her.
Alpha Denzel should have sent her away a long time ago but decided to keep his enemies closer.
“Alpha, please. I can explain.” Adira’s heart was shattering from the pain of losing Alpha Denzel. She might not be his mate, but after rejecting Valerie, she was certain that he would never find another mate and would have been hers.
19 Chapter 19-His Most Trustworthy Person
The pain in his eyes broke her heart even more, as it was a reflection of the trust he had for her.
“I was just wondering how long you were going to keep things from me.”
Moisture covered Adira’s palms, as she was sweating in the air-conditioned office. Her knees hit the ground as she crawled to where Alpha Denzel sat, but he rose to his feet and moved away before her hands could touch him.
Seeing this, Adira allowed her tears to fall. “I’m not hiding anything. I swear it.”
Alpha Denzel’s hands balled to suppress his anger. No matter what, he couldn’t hurt Adira because she was good before. He just couldn’t figure out exactly when she became like this. “You are not? What about the wolf you just killed?”
<
19 Chapter 19-His Most Trustworthy Person
Adira was speechless. Did Alpha Denzel have the powers of the moon goddess? How could he have discerned so accurately that she intentionally killed the girl? The remorse in her eyes turned to fear as he continued to expose her.
“You know that isn’t how we do it. If what happened between you and Idris months ago was just an accident without any strings attached, then why did you hide his letters? Why should you allow your emotions to get in the way?”
A few months ago, Denzel had left for Las Vegas when Alpha Idris visited the pack. It wasn’t the first time he visited, but this time, Adira stayed by him, doing more than the job of a host.
They chatted a lot and drank, but they weren’t drunk when they got into bed. When Adira woke up the next morning, she regretted being carried away. Her first

Nobody else was aware of this, so how did Alpha Denzel know? Not able to keep up the lies because of her fears of losing Alpha Denzel, she confessed to him,
“Because I love you. You are the one I love.”

“Love me?” Alpha Denzel smiled bitterly. He was unaware of this part, but it explains the reason for Adira’s ruthlessness towards Valerie, even after knowing that she was innocent. “That is no way to treat someone you love. You disobey my orders and call it love?”
This time, Adira knew the matter concerned Valerie and quickly explained, “She wanted to die already, but she defended herself against me. I’m not the reason why she’s not healing from her injuries, but she looks all innocent while I look guilty because I healed faster than her.”
A storm gathered on Alpha Denzel’s face at the mention of Valerie’s wolf. It was no secret that as most she-wolves became Luna by being mated to an Alpha, Valerie was the only she-wolf with a Luna wolf.
20 Chapter 20-Luna Valerie Has Escaped!
She was born to be a leader, and her wolf was fierce, so how could she not heal? The matter disturbed Alpha Denzel, but his expression did not betray him as he continued to expose Adira. “And yet you lied to my face, making me look like a fool.”
Adira’s offenses, if in a different pack, would have resulted in banishment, but Alpha Denzel had a soft spot for her, disheartened that she took it for granted.
“I’m sorry, Alpha. Please give me a second chance.”
Alpha Denzel chuckled, as he tried to pry more information from her. “Tell me about the wolf you just killed.”
Adira froze, her face as pale as a ghost. Alpha Denzel showed her mercy by sending her to another pack instead of punishing her, so how could she make him regret it by giving out information about the spy wolf?

“I will go with Alpha Idris.”
Alpha Denzel was so shocked and disappointed that he didn’t have the strength to force the information out of
her until she reached the door. The woman who
claimed to love him was nothing like the woman she
was before.
“What do you know about my parents’ death?”
“Nothing,” Adira replied without turning around, but he sed she was lying. The only problem was, he had no roof.
“You lied again. I can choose to banish you, and no pack would take you in.”
Adira’s fingers balled into fists. She already lost him, so why subject herself to torture? Afraid that Alpha

Denzel would begin to investigate her, she turned
around and asked him,
“You knew that Luna Valerie is innocent, and yet you rejected her. Why?”
Alpha Denzel didn’t blink, immediately replying, “Because the pain of rejection is softer than the broken bond of death.”
Adira’s eyes were clouded with confusion. “You are afraid she will die?”
ne offended me before, and she has to pay,” pha Denzel said seriously. Adira smiled a little. Not even Valerie’s innocence could make Alpha Denzel regret his rejecting her.
“Was she the girl at the club?” She asked curiously. Back then, Alpha Denzel had returned to the pack for

20 Chapter 20-Luna Valerie Has Escaped!
months without showing his face in Las Vegas because of the embarrassment he faced. How could he forgive her? She had to pay.
“Yes,” Alpha Denzel replied. Adira smiled in satisfaction, but the smile wiped from her face when he added, “and she is pretentious and a liar, just like you.”
Adira, knowing she lost that special place in Alpha Denzel’s heart, was comforted by the fact that Valerie would equally not win that spot. “Since you already sent me away, I am no longer answerable to you.”
The corner of Alpha Denzel’s lips curled upwards, but he wasn’t smiling. The main reason he was letting her go was still only known to him.
“You know the only reason I’m letting you go is because of your past dedication to this pack.”

Adira smiled in appreciation. “I appreciate it.”
When the door closed, Alpha Denzel made a call to Las Vegas. “Godic, get someone in the Litha Moon Pack to keep an eye on Adira. I want to know who she meets
and what she does.”
“Alpha, which Adira, please?” Godic was confused and
asked from the end of the line since the Adira he knew
was the beta of the Evergreen pack.
Alpha Denzel explained calmly. There was no regret in his voice. “Adira is no longer my beta. I have sent her
ha Moon Pack. The details are not important
but do as I have instructed.”
“Yes, Alpha,” Godic responded and asked, “so Alpha, who is the new Beta?”
Alpha Denzel already had somebody in mind, but until

it was made official, he saw no reason to let it out at
this moment. “At the right time, you will know.”
Godic wondered what had transpired between his Alpha and Beta, even feeling that no one could do the job of a beta better than Adira. Nevertheless, the instruction to get someone to keep an eye on Adira was enough hint that Adira was not the angel they thought she was.
If not, how would the Alpha still keep his eyes on her after letting her go? Alpha Denzel would have indeed taken her life, but there were still mysteries he was yet to uncover. Somehow, Adira’s refusal to speak about that wolf and the death of his parents made her a greater suspect.
It was wiser for him to use her as bait to get the bigger fish. Whoever it was that took the life of his parents and human mate, Alpha Denzel refused to rest until the person died by his hands.

Before hanging up, he asked, “How is the business?”
“Everything is going well. I sent the video to you an hour ago,” Godic responded from the end of the line.
“Alright. Let me know if there are any issues,” Alpha
Denzel said and ended the call. This was not the time
to check the video, as he had a lot more things to do.
When Adira left, her anger surged, and she rushed to the Luna’s chamber, purposefully to eliminate Luna Valerie and escape.

This was the last thing she planned to do to leave without a trace. She stared at the vacant room in awe. To her shock, Luna Valerie was nowhere to be seen. Adira checked the closet and the washroom, but there was no sign of Luna Valerie. Even her bags were gone.
Adira was upset, fuming with anger. After knowing
