Glen entered my office and sat on the empty chair hurriedly. “I looked into the traitor’s background,” he informed as I stio)| by the office window, dropping an ice cube in my whiskey.
“And?” I asked without looking up at him, my back faced Glen.
“Nothing seemed abnormal. Obviously, he was a rogue before joining our pack, Glen placed the documents on my desk that he collected during his inquiry on the traitor yesterday.
“What about his bank account balance?” I questioned, taking a sip. I had an Alpha meeting shortly and had to leave the pack so I decided to have a few sips before I left.
“It’s clean. His bank account has a few thousands of dollars, which is strange considering he must have been given a large sum of money to complete the dangerous task of mixing wolfsbane into your drink…”
Glen’s voice faded from my ears when my eyes caught a sight of her entering the clearing. She arrived to the pack on time, the border wolves didn’t stop her, as I had brought her pack with me yesterday solely with that purpose in mind before ! released her for the evening and asked her to return the next day.
My wolf Rah appeared in my eyes to check her out. Dressed in a white crop top, her long hair cascaded over her round hips. As she walked, she gathered her hair back into a ponytail, her ample breasts pressing against the white fabric of her top. accentuating her trim waist. My cock twitched in my pants.
“Keshton, are you listening to me!” Glen walked over to stand beside me, following my line of sight to find Sibyl in the clearing then exclaimed in surprise, “She really came! Yesterday I thought she would change her mind or try to escape, but she.”
“She will not escape, I cut him off. “She would never dare…”
Glen glanced at me with a mixture of confused curiosity, “Keshton, what exactly are you doing? Allowing that woman to work at the pack hospital to pay back the debt? She has a mountain of debt on her shoulders, that she couldn’t even pay off if she worked twenty–four hours a day until she died. That’s not to mention the debt left by her brother, that he accumulated in the naine of his sordid mate. I wonder if she’s even aware of that debt. Now it’s all been placed on this woman’s shoulders. There’s no way she can pay it off unless she works in a brothel,” he stated seriously.
“It’s alright. Don’t worry about it, I murmured.
Glen frowned upon realizing that the money was coming out of my own pocket. “You’re playing a losing game, Keshton, he
warned
“A losing game?” I ran a fingertip along the rim of my glass while observing her biting her lower lip in confusion. The soft, pink flesh of her lip pressed between her teeth, reminded me of when she had bitten my hand. My cock twitched again as my hand tightened around the glass. “I just want to play a game and see how this losing game‘ as you call it is going to end,” I remarked.
Glen raised ins brows with interest as he looked between a passing Sibyl and me, “I’ve never seen you be interested in any woman before. What is so special about her?”
When he asked that, I looked down where she had stopped on her tracks, lifted her head, and looked up at the window where I stood.
Why was I so interested in her? Obviously, she caught my eye to the point I couldn’t ignore her.
I was used to watching my enemies scream, cry, and beg for salvation as they ran from me in an attempt to save their little own lives. That was usually more than enough for me to get rid of them quickly. I absolutely despised people begging for their lives after disturbing my comfort. It was a repulsive sight, yet out of every person that I had come across in the twenty ne years of my life they had all been the same until she tore open my chest
“Don’t come any closer or I will kill you,” she had warned. She was the first woman that had shown no sign of submission to

me, let alone pleaded for her life. She stood her ground, fully aware that confronting me was a mistake.
You
want to fight?”
“I am not going down without a fight,” she defiantly declared.

Her eyes held no hint of tears instead there was a fierce will to survive that I had never seen in anyone before. Was she adega at holding back her emotions? Despite knowing she stood no chance against me, she still attacked. Each time I countered her assault, she adapted her techniques which only a well–trained warrior would have possessed, techniques sufficient to take down any man, but not me. She resembled a wild cat, relentless in her pursuit. I found myself toying with her, curious to we how long she would persevere. Every time she faltered, she rose again, launching another attack refusing to surrender What compelled me to take her seriously was that despite her face being bruised, bloodied, or wounded, she continued to fight: without concern for her appearance.
Her glasses had come off once again. I could see the fire in her eyes, and her unyielding determination to survive it provoked something within me.
It triggered me to the point that the grip that was supposed to snap her neck for challenging me had only knocked her unconscious then pulled her out of the alley. Why had I done that? I must have lost my senses…
Standing down there, she blinked up at me then sat down in the waiting area not knowing where to go.
“Look at her appearing so calm and innocent, but I would like to remind you that a she–wolf walking around a pack full of male rogues is going to be big trouble,” Glen grumbled.
“That’s why I want you to keep an eye on her,” I turned to face him.
“Me? I think Aries is the better option since he is the Gamma, and the pack members are under his supervision. He can keep an eye on her better than I ever could,” he explained.
“Finally, a task that I can get behind. Keeping an eye on a woman,” Aries entered my office, a handsome smile playing on his lips.
“You’re back. Did you finish tracking the hunters‘ activity?” Glen questioned.
“Yes, they’re obviously pissed and are suddenly laying low given the news of the traitor’s death. They were definitely behind the wolfsbane incident,” Aries informed me. There were countless groups of hunters,but Aries had been targeting a specific group. “There was nothing more to dig up, so I returned. Should I continue?”
“No,” I set the glass back on my desk and added, “Finish them off,” I ordered as I exited my office.
“Gladly,” Aries smiled wickedly as the two followed me out. “My hands were already itching for blood. But what were you two talking about that you need me to keep an eye on?”
“It’s not something, but someone. A she–wolf that Keshton has brought into the pack, Clen replied.
“A she–wolf?” Curiosity flashed in Aries’s surprised eyes as he glanced at my face. I remained mute but Glen knew how to run his big mouth.
“Yes, she is the woman that I told you about yesterday,” he whispered to Aries though I could still hear them, “The one who fought with Keshton, she even managed to rip open his chest and…”
I glanced at Glen from the corner of my eye in warning and he immediately shut his gossiping mouth.
He cleared his throat and concluded, “I mean, she will be working in the pack’s hospital.”
Aries’s eyes flashed with curiosity. Since the establishment of the Eclipse Moon Pack there has never been a she–wolf in the pack but there she was. So far the only she–wolves that came were there to warm the wolves beds, that was all. When I stopped and glanced outside the window in the hallway. Aries followed my line of sight to find a woman sitting in the waiting
aren with her back to us.
