Chapter 0424
ZADE.
| leave the house once I've showered, trying to get in contact with Damien again. | get on my bike, wondering if
something has happened to him when he calls back. | pick up not answering just in case it’s not him and wait for
him to speak first.
“Boss.” He's fine and alone.
“Where have you been?”
“| got attacked... I'm ok, but I've lost a lot of blood. | managed to escape and home, but... I'm not sure what it is
but I ain’t healing.”
“We'll figure that out. I'm heading to twelve and seven. Meetthere. It's urgent. Bring Anthony.”
He grunts his response, and | frown as | hang up.
These attacks have been carefully thought out. I stop at the garage, ignoring the pile of letters that were pushed
through the letterbox, before | park the truck
inside and walk through the garage to the other side, where | have a black SUV, one with bulletproof windows
hidden in the back. One of my five rides.
This is the car we'll travel in and | can trust Damien and Anthony to keep an eye on things here. | don’t trust fast,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbut both Damien and Anthony have helped keep an eye on Valerie for me, as well as being there since I've been
out of prison. They're trustworthy enough.
| run my hand over my bike before looking around my garage. | had made something here... but guess it just
wasn’t meant to fucking be. | look down at my bike and sigh.
“I'll cback for you,” | murmur, brushing my hand along the paint of my bike.
Fuck this.
| take the SUV out and lock it up before | get back into the SUV and drive close to the spot that | asked Damien
and Anthony to meetat, parking a few roads away. | walk the remaining distance to meet them, you can
never be too careful.
| scroll through my phone. The media has already reported on the housefire... | still feel uneasy about how that
one was handled, but it's too late to do anything
now.

| stay in the shadows, my hood up as | take out a cigarette and light it. It's been a long day...
| spot them sitting in the car a few metres away, on alert, but they've not noticed me... | tilt my head, the urge to
scare them entices me, but now’s not the time.
It’s intriguing how so many of them just don’t notice my presence, even those who are skilled like these two...
I've mastered the art of stealth far better than anyone | fucking know...
Taking out my phone, | ring Damien, watching as he answers it.
“Yes, Boss, we're here.”
“Yeah, | know. I've watched you two sit out here for the last few minutes, and neither of you managed to see me.
Get out, seven o'clock to you.” | hang up as both turn towards me, before they get out and make their way over.
Damien's hurt, | can see that from the way he’s dragging his leg.
“Boss,” Anthony says.
Not replying, | turn, leading the way down the alleyway until | reach the end and lean against the wall.
“I'm leaving town for a bit, keep an eye on one another, and stay safe. Times are a little dangerous out here,” |
say, glancing around the alleyway, my ears honed in on any small sound from around us.
“Where are you going?” Anthony asks.
“To find a solution to this entire fucking mess. Those chips will be abolished one fucking way or another... and so
will the Arkan,” | say, my eyes flashing.
“Your aura... it's changed.” Anthony adds, seeming distracted by it.
“Did you hear what | said?” It’s because Valerie and | marked one another.
“Yeah, but your aura...”

“You found our Luna?” Damien asks sharply.
I'look at the two of them./
“I have.”
“Then, let's be a pack!” Anthony says, his eyes blazing. “You will only get stronger.”
“I'm already strong,” | remark.

“But he’s right. You need to hold an official title of Alpha, even if it's just the four of us,” Damien says from where
he’s leaning against the wall opposite.
Six of us... If Ada makes it.
I'm silent.
This is something... Inevitably as an Alpha... I'll hold more power in that council... it would givemore of a
voice...
“Very well, let's do it,” | say quietly, pushing away from the wall as both Anthony and Damien lower their heads,
their auras surging around them; their wolves stepping forward.
