CHAPTER 242~3RD PERSON’S POV~Steven and Gregory turned away from the door and turned to each other, looking very bewildered by Ruth’s words. Steven placed his left elbow on the table and held his chin gently with his index finger and thumb, his eyes focused on the table. “What do you think Evelyn’s plan could be? From what she said at the meeting, she only plans to gain the government's attention by helping people. Why would she need to buy off the other shareholders for that? I mean, I don’t support the idea of involving politicians in our private business, but helping people isn’t such a bad thing,” Steven asked, then turned back to Gregory.“Evelyn has always been a cunning woman, and it's all because of her obsession for you. The lady is madly in love with you, and she doesn’t mind sacrificing other people to get you. So, whatever she’s doing in that company now, I’m sure she has ulterior motives,” Gregory replied, sounding very annoyed.“I know all that. But what if we're just

CHAPTER 244~3RD PERSON’S POV~Evelyn sat inside a horse-drawn carriage on an empty road. The carriage, colored dark red, had several golden, dragon-shaped embossments on each side. It had wooden walls with polished frames and a roof made entirely of thick black leather. The driver of the carriage and the horses that drew it were dressed in clothing that almost looked royal. Evelyn, on the other hand, was dressed in a simple T-shirt and blue jeans. The road they were on was surrounded by a thick forest, and sounds from different animals hidden in the depths of the woods were spread around by a cold morning breeze like a “good morning” from nature itself. Indifferent to the beautiful sounds that filled the air, Evelyn carried an emotionless expression on her face. The only thought that coursed through her mind was getting to her destination without any interference of any kind. Her carriage suddenly came to a halt, and the sudden break forced the black curtains on the inside of the c

CHAPTER 246~3RD PERSON'S POV~“So, tell me, what did you find out?” Ruth asked as she walked into her living room with two glasses of orange juice. She placed one of the cups in front of Gregory, then sat on the couch opposite him.“You’re one of the few humans who already knew that werewolves existed before the war; you must know the Montgomery family,” Gregory said. “I’m familiar with the name. They're the family of the Darkfang pack, if I remember correctly. They own a business completely separate from ours and are one of our numerous competitors,” Ruth replied, placing the glass cup between her lips.“Well, business aside, Alpha Steven took over that pack. Their alpha gave his daughter to alpha Steven as a peace offering, and she went on to serve as one of the maids in the Mortimer mansion. Just before the war, the alpha of the Dark Fang Pack and his brother, alpha Garret, planned to kill alpha Steven and alpha Derren of the Dark Moon Pack, but were both outmatched, leading to t

CHAPTER 248~3RD PERSON’S POV~Anthony and Steven walked out of the café after a long talk. The sun was starting to come down, and Steven had to head back to the ark to meet Derren. “I wish we could chat more, but there’s something I have to take care of right now. The company making this drug is doing something very bad, and I need to stop them before they carry out whatever their plan is,” Steven said, staring at the bottle Anthony gave him. He turned to Anthony and said with a smile, “Don’t feel bad that your parents had to die the way they did; the longer you continue to blame yourself for their deaths, the more broken your mind will become. You can stop those images from coming into your head every time you want to sleep; you just have to forgive yourself.” Anthony stared at him for a moment, then turned away, his brows furrowing, “What do you know about killing someone? You’re just a pretend werewolf trying to get information from a kid,” he said.“You seriously still think t

CHAPTER 250~3RD PERSON’S POV~Joseph and Elizabeth got up from their couches to greet Steven and Derren. The soldier who accompanied them bowed to Elizabeth and left the room. Steven and Derren walked over to them, the sound of their shoes clashing against the marble floor echoing in the large room. They all sat back down, Derren sitting beside Elizabeth and Steven sitting beside Joseph, and after a moment of silence, the meeting began. “I believe this is the first time we’ve met, Professor Joseph,” Steven said.Joseph smiled, then replied, “Yes, it is. And I must say it is quite a pleasure to be sitting in front of the head of the council and an alpha among the werewolf species. If I had known you were the guest her majesty was talking about, I would have dressed more formally for this meeting.”“This is Alpha Derren; I’m sure you guys met before the war. He donated his energy to the military to use against the abyss demons,” Steven said, turning in Derren’s direction and turning
