Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas - Chapter 66

Chapter 66 – I Just Don’t Like to Owe
Alpha Denzel had just arrived at the airport and upon seeing Alpha Idris calling, he frowned a little but answered the call.

“Alpha Idris, I’m surprised to hear from you. Is there a problem at your pack?”

Alpha Idris hesitated for a moment, debating whether to give Alpha Denzel a heads up. The decision was made when he remembered how Alpha Denzel had saved his life. Despite the rumors of death following him, Alpha Denzel also had the power to give life to those he chose.

Moreover, Alpha Idris had not forgotten the advice Alpha Denzel had given him, which had led to a significant change in his behavior, particularly in his attitude towards women.

Alphas who were devoted to their mates were highly respected, and their packs thrived. Even those who had not found their mates but possessed great self-control were doing well.

“It’s about Adira.”

Alpha Denzel’s expression turned cold as he listened to Alpha Idris’s words. “I don’t want to hear anything about her. I will never take her back if that is what you are asking.”

Alpha Denzel only trusted once, and he was grateful that Valerie had not gained his trust under false pretenses. If he had trusted her before the incident, things would have turned out differently.

“No. I want you to be careful. I overheard Adira talking to Alpha Conrad on the phone. She admitted to killing a man named Stan to protect Alpha Conrad.”

Alpha Denzel recalled the incident vividly. Adira’s ruthless act of eliminating the sanguine wolf had left an impression on him. However, the involvement of Alpha Conrad, who was almost like a brother to him, troubled him deeply.

Alpha Conrad was someone Alpha Denzel held in high regard, someone he would willingly sacrifice his life for. The bond between them was strong, even if they were apart or hadn’t seen each other in years. Alpha Denzel’s thoughts were interrupted by Alpha Idris’s voice on the phone.

“She also mentioned that she can’t locate where you moved Valerie and that Valerie should be the next target. I couldn’t hear Alpha Conrad’s responses clearly, but I believe you should be cautious of your best friend.”

Alpha Idris used the term ‘best friend’ to emphasize the closeness between Alpha Denzel and Alpha Conrad. Alpha Conrad was one of the few people who could visit Alpha Denzel unannounced and even share his living space.

While Alpha Idris was unaware of the extent of their relationship in Las Vegas, it was evident that Alpha Denzel held Alpha Conrad in high regard.

Alpha Denzel was enraged that after all he had put Valerie through for her protection, a threat was still directed her way. He would never allow it.

Valerie was going to live for him. If Valerie was already a threat after all his meanness towards her, then what about Alessia?

Alpha Denzel was disturbed. He couldn’t let anything happen to those two women. Now that he thought about it, he would have to spend a few days and make sure he resolves the most important issues here in Vegas, then return to his pack for at least a month.

Attacks hardly happened when he was there. “Why should I trust you?” Alpha Denzel questioned, trying to make sense of the information.

As Alpha Denzel connected the dots, he realized that Alpha Idris couldn’t have known about the incident with Adira and Stan, as he wasn’t present at the Evergreen pack at the time.

“You have no reason to trust me, but I feel indebted to you for saving my life. Consider us even,” Alpha Idris replied.

For the sake of his mother and the assistance Alpha Denzel had provided to his pack, Alpha Idris pack, he felt compelled to act on the information.

“Thank you for the warning. I will conduct my own investigation.”

Alpha Idris sensed Alpha Denzel’s skepticism and added, “I also heard about Adira’s spies at your packhouse.”

Alpha Denzel had suspected the presence of spies but never imagined Adira to be the mastermind behind it. He questioned his judgment of her loyalty and felt betrayed that she would conspire against him with Conrad.

“Thank you, Alpha Idris. I never expected anything in return for saving your life.”

“Well, I just don’t like owing debts,” Alpha Idris replied. Alpha Denzel found it strange how much Alpha Idris had changed since their last encounter.

“If that’s how you see it, then I accept. But I must say, you sound different,” Alpha Denzel remarked.

Alpha Idris smiled, acknowledging the change in himself. “People change, and I’m no exception. After facing death, I realized there are more important things in life than pursuing women. I hope you can help me develop my pack’s business.”

A faint smile appeared on Alpha Denzel’s lips. If Alpha Idris sought a favor in exchange for the information, then it held true value. Initially, he had suspected jealousy from Alpha Idris regarding his friendship with Alpha Conrad, but now it seemed otherwise.

“I will send you an invitation when I return to the pack,” Alpha Denzel assured him.

“I would be honored,” Alpha Idris replied.

As Alpha Denzel drove to his manor to freshen up before heading to the office, his thoughts were consumed by the need to investigate Alpha Conrad. He didn’t believe Conrad was responsible for the deaths of his allies, but there was an air of suspicion surrounding him.

Upon arriving at his manor, Alpha Denzel was surprised to find someone inside with the lights on. “Conrad, what are you doing here?” he asked, masking his emotions and pretending he hadn’t heard anything earlier.

Alpha Conrad was caught off guard by Denzel’s early return. The spies he had placed had lost contact, leaving him vulnerable. He forced a smile, tinged with nervousness. “You haven’t checked on me, so I thought I’d surprise you with a visit.”

Alpha Denzel raised an eyebrow, skeptical of Conrad’s explanation. “I see. How long were you planning to stay without informing me?” he questioned, his gaze piercing and intimidating.
