Damian
I stopped midway when I noticed my reflection in the glass of the bookshelf before me.
I was smiling.
A normal smile instead of the menace I always wear on my lips my study and I wonder whether it is because of the conversation we had earlier
Liliana Robinson Edwards. She has been different from what I thought her to be. I never knew she would be addictive and I would itch to get scratched by her again.
The way she trembles and moans in my arms, all of it, I want it happen again and again. She wasn’t lying when she said she knew how to bite as well.
If it wasn’t for my blood, I wonder how many days my finger would have taken to heal. I shook my head and my gaze flickered from my finger to the glass again.
I am smiling again.
I observed and suddenly the smile didn’t feel pleasing anymore. Smiles aren’t the best.
They make you look weak and easy to crush just because you are smiling and happy for something. She left me even when I smiled at her all the time.
I must have looked like a fool to her.
I felt a surge of anger when I remembered how she betrayed me my first mate and my first love.

Smiles are only worth using when they burn your enemies as you smile at their demise. I am happy with my cynical and cold smiles, that’s what describes Damian Edwards and not these pathetic soft smiles.
I immediately mind–linked Oliver and switched to my work mode. Hudson’s reports were exactly as I predicted them. That old witch didn’t just arrange that ball for my welcome.
It was to bring the elders to her side by whatever means possible and those other old junkies aren’t much better. They all just move in the direction where their self–interests are being fulfilled
Pathetic shits.
I wouldn’t have given a damn to them if they didn’t hold powers to participate in decision–making for the pack. I desperately wish to reform the pack and be hell with these old norms.
However, the pack isn’t entirely in my hands right now and these old junkies hold as much power as the alpha right now. Whenever a decision is taken, they hold equal power as the old long to either accept or rejeer that decision.
Out of the eight elders, I only have two on my side who are utmost loyal. The rest six of them are tough nuts to crack, among which as I predicted old Hag has been trying to pull Elder Owen to her side because he has his influence on the other two elders, Mason and Santiago.
All three of the
are crooks. However, what turned out to be most surprising was that she tried to lure Elder Christopher on her side, who is the quietest and the most neutral of all

Chapter 17
According to Hudson’s report, they were seen going into a room ogether before they returned with a smile on their faces and drinks in their hands. The conversation held in the room is secret.
None of my men were able to decipher it.
“Alpha, you called” Oliver entered my study through the slightly jar door before he closed it on my orders.
“Yes, what is your report on the great Luna’s take on Elder Owen I asked taking a seat. Oliver took the seat opposite mine after I told him to.
“She offered to make his daughter a concubine after Commander Adrian gets crowned as the Alpha” He answered, sitting straight and rigid in the chair.
When Adrian gets crowned as the alpha? I snorted and the pen in my snapped. The ink flowed down my hands to the papers I was working on, staining them.
I was releasing my pheromones because my emotions were out of control. I couldn’t control the rage I flew in until I saw Oliver’s body trembling because of the pressure.
I tried reigning my rage and soon I was able to calm down. My study was saved from becoming a mess.
“It’s not an issue Oliver because that will never happen. My stepmother
– has big dreams but alas her dreams must be crushed for mine to come true.
We will go with the idea of using the slaves. If there is one thing Elder Owen loves more than his family, it is himself. For a long time, he has his eyes on the group of slaves who presented the belly dance on the night of the ball.
I will gift them to him” I told Oliver about my plans which I had been contemplating for a long time.
Elder Owen enjoys entertaining himself and he tends to go a biar for the same which is the main reason why I have been holding back on this decision for a long time but there is no space for hesitation anymore.
I must hand over those slaves to him if I want the three of them to be in my favour. That way, I will have a total of five elders supporting me which will increase my dominance in the counci
“Yes Alpha, the upcoming festival will be a great opportunity to discuss it Oliver suggested and I found myself smiling again.
Right, the festival
Instantly I remembered how her pupils widened when I mentioned the festival of five days, the slight movement of her pupils and the subtle displeasure over balls and parties even when she used to be a princess, all of it was intriguing-
She even looked adorable when she asked whether she could skip a night or two of the festival.
Does she not know she is the Luna of the Blood Claw pack? The highest position in a pack.
I suppressed a chuckle when all of her antics passed through my mind and I halted when the shelf acted as a hindrance again.
“Then I shall ask Elder Owen in this festival whether he is willing to join forces with his Alpha or wishes for his death to reach him sooner than it’s destined to be” I said with the menacing smile I was familiar with.
“Yes, Alpha!” Oliver replied cheerfully.

“Also, remove this shelf from here or change it to a wooden one don’t want this glass here” I glancing at the inked papers and deciding to call it a night.
