“Well then, now that it’s all settled, I’ll take my leave.” After saying that, I stood up and walked toward the door.
Just as I was about to twist the knob to open the door, Kylian said in a gentle voice, “Thank you.”
I glanced back at him, and he continued, “Really. I do appreciate it.”
I gave him a small smile before I turned and left the room. After showing my appreciation to the warrior at the door, I continued out of the pack house to go back to the shack where I was staying.
Just a few feet away from the house and I could already smell an appetizing scent of various foods, making me let out a sweet smile.
With joy, I opened the door, and was greeted by a table filled with extravagant and delectable dishes.
Surprised and excited, I looked at Diana with questioning eyes as I motioned toward the table.
“What is all this? Why are there so many dishes?” I asked, already walking toward the table and appreciating it.
I couldn’t even stop myself from swallowing with desire as I looked at each of it. It was all well cooked.
There's grilled chicken breast, Chicken soup, Quinoa with Shrimp, Honey Ginger Wings, shakes, and many more.
There was no denying that these foods really gave me a big surprise. Since I moved here, Diana and I have been experiencing food shortages. No matter how hard Diana tries, we can only eat enough and cannot get any more nutrients.
“It’s like heaven in here,” I commented with a huge smile.
Diana gave me a smile as she reached up for the mango shake and handed it over to me, which I immediately accepted and took a sip from.
I closed my eyes with satisfaction. It’s so sweet!
“Alpha Kylian sent those ingredients earlier, so I went on to cook everything or they may get spoiled as we don’t have a fridge to stock it,” Diana suddenly said which almost caused me to choke.
“He did?” I asked in utter surprise while looking again at all the dishes in front of me.
Diana nodded as a reply and pulled a chair for me. “Please, enjoy your meal.”
I just nodded, and didn’t show as much excitement as earlier.
These ingredients were Kylian's compensation. But the sad thing is that no matter what he did, the hurt I had suffered could never be undone.
Our relationship can never go back to what it was before...
I grabbed some food and took out my phone to check my emails as usual.
After confirming that there were no new emails in my inbox, I found an email about the Crimson Pack from a long time ago.
My brows furrowed as I looked at the shocking pictures and text on the screen.
Things are much more serious than I imagined.
Apparently, Crimson Pack were not only supplying packs with conventional medicines. They also mix powdered Red Azaleas to the foods they sell to increase their sales.
Red Azaleas were bright pinkish-red glow flowers which could be addictive to werewolves due to its addictive and attractive components.
The worst part of that was they would even add that herb in children’s food which could be too strong for them. They’ll be too restless for a few days until they become weak as the addiction and restlessness was slowly weakening their wolf until they lose their ability to shift.
At some end of Albert’s email, read, “And be careful toward them. Those who oppose the Crimson Pack will face cruel treatment. I even received some reports of torture to death cases that they did.”
I found more information of the Crimson Pack in a report about Drake, the Rogue King.
In short, they were just a bunch of thugs that were taking advantage of those around them. They’re even worse than the rogues. Even the rogues won’t transact with them. Drake even sent a kill on sight order for every Crimson Pack member.
That alone could say many things about the Crimson Pack. A group of rogues who were looked up as monsters by werewolves even find Crimson Pack as disgusting pack, how much more are those innocent ones?
At such thoughts of suffering that those victims suffered, especially those of young age that could still be considered as pups, I unconsciously placed my hand over my stomach to feel my growing pup inside of me.
As a mother, I will protect my puppy at all costs, even if it costs my life.
It is unimaginable how painful it must be for the mothers of children who are affected by Crimson pack’s medicine. They have to see their children become weaker than omegas and lose their power day by day.
I can't let this happen.
“What could be Luke’s reason?” I whispered.
If Luke was choosing such a pack to be the pack’s supplier, he must have some ulterior motive.
Did he get a bribe, or was it a part of his bigger plan? If so, what was it? What did he want to achieve? What did he want to gain from that?
I slammed my hand over the table in anger. “Damn him!”
I haven’t seen the Crimson pack yet, but I was already shaking with anger, especially toward Luke. He used to be the Alpha of Dark Moon, and he hurt Kylian and I in name of Dark Moon's interests.
I couldn’t believe he’ll go as far as jeopardizing his own pack members just for the sake of his own benefits!
“Ms. Della, are you okay?” Diana, from the side, flinches in surprise.
I simply shook my head. “I’m fine… I’m just thinking some things out.”
My hands formed a fist at how reckless Luke was being. I thought he’ll at least think of his pack’s safety, but it turned out that all he ever cared about was his own reputation and benefits.
Selfish bastard!
Since Kylian already requested me to vote, and I already agreed, I might as well take it seriously. I had to stop that cooperation no matter what.
With determination in my mind, I close my phone.
I knew it would be a huge confrontation and debate, especially that Luke was the one proposing it, but the things that were at stake were much more important. I’ll have to take my chances and do everything I could to stop it.
When I was lost in thoughts, a series of knocks were suddenly heard.
I took a deep breath and looked at Diana to see that she was already walking toward the door to open it.
It was Stella.
“Della…” She stood at the door, worry and anxiety were etched at her face.
“Did you ask Ralph to come here with the Dark Moon Pack?”
