Chapter 0424 , ZADE. , I leave the house once I’ve showered, trying to get in contact with Damien again. I get on my bike, wondering if something has happened to him when he calls back. I pick up not answering just in case it’s not him and wait for him to speak first. , “Boss.” He’s fine and alone. , “Where have you been?” , “I got attacked… I’m ok, but I’ve lost a lot of blood. I managed to escape and home, but… I’m not sure what it is but I ain’t healing.” , “We’ll figure that out. I’m heading to twelve and seven. Meet me there. It’s urgent. Bring Anthony.” , He grunts his response, and I frown as I hang up. , These attacks have been carefully thought out. I stop at the garage, ignoring the pile of letters that were pushed through the letterbox, before I park the truck , inside and walk through the garage to the other side, where I have a black SUV, one with bulletproof windows hidden in the back. One of my five rides. , This is the car we’ll travel in and I can trust Damien and Anthony to keep an eye on things here. I don’t trust fast, but both Damien and Anthony have helped keep an eye on Valerie for me, as well as being there since I’ve been out of prison. They’re trustworthy enough., I run my hand over my bike before looking around my garage. I had made something here… but guess it just wasn’t meant to **ing be. I look down at my bike and sigh. , “I’ll come back for you,” I murmur, brushing my hand along the paint of my bike. , Fuck this. , I take the SUV out and lock it up before I get back into the SUV and drive close to the spot that I asked Damien and Anthony to meet me at, parking a few roads away. I walk the remaining distance to meet them, you can never be too careful. , I scroll through my phone. The media has already reported on the housefire… I still feel uneasy about how that one was handled, but it’s too late to do anything , now. , 18 BONUS , I stay in the shadows, my hood up as I take out a cigarette and light it. It’s been a long day… , I spot them sitting in the car a few metres away, on alert, but they’ve not noticed me… I tilt my head, the urge to scare them entices me, but now’s not the time. , It’s intriguing how so many of them just don’t notice my presence, even those who are skilled like these two… I’ve mastered the art of stealth far better than anyone I **ing know… , Taking out my phone, I ring Damien, watching as he answers it. , “Yes, Boss, we’re here.” , “Yeah, I know. I’ve watched you two sit out here for the last few minutes, and neither of you managed to see me. Get out, seven o’clock to you.” I hang up as both turn towards me, before they get out and, make their way over. , Damien’s hurt, I can see that from the way he’s dragging his leg. , “Boss,” Anthony says. , Not replying, I turn, leading the way down the alleyway until I reach the end and lean against the wall. , “I’m leaving town for a bit, keep an eye on one another, and stay safe. Times are a little dangerous out here,” I say, glancing around the alleyway, my ears honed in on any small sound from around us. , “Where are you going?” Anthony asks. , “To find a solution to this entire **ing mess. Those chips will be abolished one **ing way or another… and so will the Arkan,” I say, my eyes flashing. , “Your aura… it’s changed.” Anthony adds, seeming distracted by it. , “Did you hear what I said?” It’s because Valerie and I marked one another. , “Yeah, but your aura…” , “You found our Luna?” Damien asks sharply. , I look at the two of them.

/ , “I have.” , “Then, let’s be a pack!” Anthony says, his eyes blazing. “You will only get stronger.” , “I’m already strong,” I remark., 2

You need to hold an official title of Alpha, even if it’s just the four of us,” Damien says from where he’s leaning against the wall opposite. , Six of us… If Ada makes it. , I’m silent. , This is something… Inevitably as an Alpha… I’ll hold more power in that council… it would give me more of a voice… , “Very well, let’s do it,” I say quietly, pushing away from the wall as both Anthony and Damien lower their heads, their auras surging around them; their wolves stepping forward., Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
