Damon's POV After waiting for what felt like forever, Alpha River finally made his appearance out of the room that I took him to and came to the meeting place. True to his words, the man had on a suit for the meeting purpose. A corporate business suit at that. I felt lost in my simple shirt and jeans trousers. I would have gone up to change also if it didn’t seem to me that the man would feel that he just managed to intimidate me. "Shall we begin?" He asked me, tapping his fingers impatiently on the table that separated us. "In a hurry?" I asked him as I continued to watch him tapping his fingers. "You should have thought about that before you took two hours to take a bath," I finished. His eyes flashed at me, and I spread my hands out to mock him some more. Call me petty but I wouldn't mind. "Are we ever going to talk about the mill, or are you leaving the ownership to me? As it should be?" He asked. I slammed my hands on the table, startling both my Beta and his. "How dare you

Alpha River's POV The win I just garnered from the meeting I had with Alpha Damon was sweet to my belly. I stood up from where I was and went out of the room his Beta had taken me to earlier so that we would not kill ourselves. Of course, the Beta, Beta Victor I think, came over to where I was and tried to attend to me. I smiled inwardly, knowing how hard it must have been for the stoic man to act like all was well between us. "Don't worry, I can see myself to the room," I said to him. I could tell that he was amazed by the words that I spoke. Under normal circumstances, I was supposed to leave the Night Wolves Pack to allow the Alpha to cool off his steam. Yet, I wanted to stay behind and give him a hard time. "You are supposed to be leaving this pack!" Beta Stephan growled at me. "You have no right to address my Alpha like that!" Beta Victor, my Beta, growled right back at the other man. I ignored both of them and decided to walk away. The fact was, they were two strong-headed

Evie's POV As the car continued to speed out of the Night Wolves Pack's territory, leaving the trees and landscapes as nothing but a blur of motion, my emotions were all over the place. For one, I wasn't sure if I should believe this man when he said that he just decided to rescue me for no reason. For a man who seemed to have left someone in the lion's den to meet his death, I didn't think compassion would be a part of him. And if that wasn't the case, then why did he decide that he wanted to help me? Another reason? I couldn't help but feel cold. I was also in pain from all the lashes I got from Miss Kardashian. Apart from knowing that I got new scars from the woman, I also know that the strokes would have opened up some wounds that were already healing. And thirdly, there was Alpha Damon. The man was highly unpredictable, but I was sure that he would never take this incident lightly. If he didn't aim to kill the man that claimed he was rescuing me, then he would kill me because

Alpha River's POV I couldn't wait for the meeting to be over. As I got grilled by the Elders who wanted to get as much information as they wanted from me, my mind was halfway to where the woman was lying unconsciously. Granted, it has only been two hours since I left her side to attend this meeting, but it felt like forever to me. I needed to be at her side, to be sure that she would scale through this period where she had to fight for her survival. If she didn't... I meant that if she couldn't fight for her life and lost it, then I would make sure that Alpha Damon pays for it with his life also. It wouldn't be just him alone who would bear the brunt of my madness. That woman who called herself Rose or Miss Kardashian would never hear the end of what I would do to her. If I granted Alpha Damon his death through combat, that would be me showing him mercy and letting him die with his dignity intact. For that vile woman though, I would never let her off the hook so easily. I would proj

Damon's POV By the time I began my walk back home, I was a little bit calm. When I said I was calm, it wasn't that I had completely let go of what that man said to me. It was just that I decided to find another approach to curb his flying wings. And that was exactly what I felt like he was doing -I meant Alpha River. I could tell that he was deliberately trying to cross paths with me by all means necessary. Otherwise, I couldn't see why a mill that has been in my possession for almost five years was now becoming something of concern to the man. Let's not forget the fact that this man could make another mill for himself if he so wished to. True, I could also let go of the mill and easily build one on my pack land, but I didn't want to make it easy for him, especially when I could see that he was trying to act superior to me. But then what? The man had the audacity to go behind me and get a court approval for the mill to be shifted in his favor? My anger slowly rose as I thought
