Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas - Chapter 164

Chapter 164: Chapter 164 – Diplomatic Badge
“Alpha Denzel. Luna Valerie.” The Alpha King was surprised by the appearance of both parties. He stood up and shook both Alpha Denzel and Valerie’s hands in turn before returning to his swivel chair.

“Please have a seat. What brings you here?” The Alpha King asked casually. Alpha Denzel and Valerie exchanged confused glances. Not only was the investigator acting strangely, but he also claimed the Alpha King was sleeping when in fact, he was right behind his desk.

“Alpha King Spartan, I am here on your invitation,” Alpha Denzel revealed directly. The middle-aged man frowned a little.

“I did not send you any invitation.” He remained composed, but his confusion was evident.

“I have your letter here.” Alpha Denzel pushed the letter towards him. Reading it, the Alpha King’s facial expressions contorted even more.

“I didn’t write that. The signature is also forged. Stark,” he called for the investigator, who walked in with his head lowered. “What do you know about this letter?” The Alpha King asked seriously.

Stark had an arrogant look on his face when he lifted his head. His countenance was unreadable as he kept switching between being polite and arrogant.

“Alpha King Spartan, I only sent it to scare him because he was rude during my last visit. He refused to pay his dues. Everything in the letter is true.”

Alpha Denzel remained calm, but Valerie was curious about how the Alpha King would handle the matter. Alpha Denzel was indeed arrogant, but something must have warranted it.

“Did you inform me about all that you are saying?” Spartan asked, irritation evident in his tone. Stark gazed at him, unable to provide a suitable answer. After a short pause, he responded.

“You were busy with other matters, and I did not expect him to accept the invitation. I only wanted to add it to his file to increase his penalties.”

A bitter smile curled the corners of the Alpha King’s lips. Stark was already taking matters into his own hands. It would not take long before he would begin to incite the other workers of the council to defy him.

“And who gave you that audacity?”

Stark showed no remorse, only trying to prove a point. Naturally, Alpha Denzel was not one of the Alphas he liked because of how powerful he was. He feared that Alpha Denzel might become some kind of god in the werewolf community that the council would not be able to control.

What made it worse was the fact that the Alpha King turned a blind eye to all of Alpha Denzel’s barbaric deeds. Somebody had to put him in his place, and if the Alpha King could not do that, then Stark was ready to take that responsibility.

“Alpha King, when I told you about the rogues he killed two years ago, you did nothing. Then he killed Alpha Mann three months after that. Again, you did nothing. Not only that, but he refused to attend all the conferences, and again, you did nothing. You are becoming weak, which is understandable for your age, so I decided to help.”

As a man of integrity and great wisdom, the Alpha King exercised patience and was not upset. Youngsters like Stark were far from understanding the history of some Alphas like Denzel. The Alpha King began to explain as if he had not been insulted just a while ago.

“My age might make me weak, but also wise because I have seen and experienced things you haven’t even thought about experiencing. Have you checked the file of the Evergreen pack well?” The Alpha King questioned, Stark nodded his head proudly.

“Yes.”

The Alpha King shook his head. If Stark had indeed checked the files like he claimed, he would not have made that judgment, or maybe he did not understand the content of the file.

“No, you haven’t. Go and bring it.” Stark obeyed, going to retrieve the file of the Evergreen pack. The Alpha King flipped the pages and tore out a yellow sheet. “Do you know what this means?” He asked seriously. Stark frowned a little.

Throughout his appointment as an investigator five years ago, he never took an interest in this diplomatic badge since only three packs had it. It never popped up as a subject of interest, so he also never took the pain to research it.

“It only reads diplomatic badge.”

“And do you know what that means?” Another question followed the previous one. Stark frowned a little, not wanting his ignorance exposed, especially in front of Alpha Denzel.

“Is it important?” His brows furrowed at the question. The Alpha King was losing his patience and roared,

“Answer me.”

“No,” Stark responded promptly, a frown lining his face as he lowered his head with his hands joined behind his back.

Patiently, the Alpha King explained it to him again. “It means that he has veto authority, equivalent to mine.”

Valerie’s expression for Alpha Denzel was one of admiration. Not even her father ever earned that badge despite his hard work. Stark was even more upset for someone like Alpha Denzel to have that veto. No wonder he carried himself like a god. “Why is that?”

“He earned it. Those rogues he killed were the murderers of the former Alpha king. You all were incapable of investigating it, and I begged him to do so for me. That was a few months after I was appointed to this position by the council. Not only did he find them, but he also exercised justice on behalf of the council.”

“Alpha Mann was the one who sent them because he wanted to be the next Alpha King. He escaped after the rogues were killed but Alpha Denzel managed to find him later, completing what he started.”

Valerie was stunned. News about the death of the Alpha King spread through the packs like wildfire, but nobody knew that the murderers were found.

Now she began to wonder if it was okay for her to seek Alpha Denzel’s help in the death of her father. Now that she was free, she could go search for his corpse. Not wanting to forget, she pressed her hand against that of Alpha Denzel.

Instantly, she had his attention, and as all gazes focused on them, she lacked the courage to voice her concern. “What is the matter? You can tell me anything,” Alpha Denzel said so sweetly, the Alpha King’s jaws dropped. Valerie’s cheeks burned, as the words stuck in her throat. “I….”
