The declaration that Bryan made startled everyone in the room. It came out like an open challenge to Alpha Noble. As soon as the managers realized that their Alpha had become angry, they all lowered their heads in agreement.
Well, he caught Alpha Noble’s weakness, and he used it in the meeting since he was a mighty man who could do all those things that he was saying.
It was more frightening than a man who looked mad.
Sophia felt a sudden urge to see him in his wolf form. The man who was cold in front of other Alphas—what would his wolf look like?
Suddenly, she remembered the last time she shifted in the woods. It had been a while. She wanted to go for a run. She desired to take in the crisp air and bask in the glow of the moonlight without any restriction.
While looking at Bryan, she was so lost in her thoughts that she had missed the conversation running in the room.
She came out of her thoughts when she heard Alpha Noble.
“Alpha Bryan, take my apology if I somehow offend you,” Alpha Noble spoke.
Bryan nodded his head slightly in response. Sophia’s eyes shifted to Bryan once again. His lips were biting the cigarette between them. She gulped when she remembered how those lips tasted. She felt them softly when they touched hers that night.
“How can I take your apology when you are not here to come for business but to wail for profits?” Bryan asked.
Alpha Noble’s beta stood up and said,
“My Alpha came here with the intention of giving the deal to your pack. However, we ended up offending you unintentionally. Forgive us.”
Beta Robert looked at the man and replied,
“Only the land is yours. But the whole investment is ours. How can you think of getting more than 35%?”
Delta Edger did not halt himself either, as he said, “Since Alpha wanted 70%, now you will have to give us 70%. End of the discussion.”
Alpha Noble and his beta exchanged a glance, then nodded at each other.
During the time Alpha Noble and his beta discussed it with each other in their mind links, Bryan kept his gaze on them while smoking. It looked as if he was reading their minds.
Sophia bit her bottom lip as she observed Bryan carefully. No matter what he did, it always appeared to be mysterious.
He was the king of mysteries and enigmas. She was confused as to why Bryan was so furious today. It was clear that his mood was not fine at all. She kept thinking about what Bruce had said to him that made him this mad.
“Okay, Alpha Bryan. I agree with your decision. But as you are getting more profit than we expected before, please don’t forget to look after my pack.”
Bryan took the last puff before throwing the cigarette and looking at him.
“Of course. I have no reason to attack your pack. You are making me happy; I’ll make your pack members happy.”
One of the employees stood up and rushed to the printer when Delta Edgar added the new clause of profit to the contract.
When Alpha Noble finally got his hands on the contract documents, he went through the process of reading them over and over again before signing them.
“Don’t worry. I never backstab others. But if they try to trick me, I stab them in their chest directly.”
Bryan’s words froze everyone. Alpha Noble slowly handed the papers to him.
Bryan signed the papers and then stood up. Following him, everyone got to their feet.
“Thanks for the deal,” Alpha Noble said.
It was a big deal for him because the business was going to run in his pack.
Bryan gave him a nod and said,
“Come to the celebration party tomorrow night.”
The expression on Alpha Noble’s face changed. This was due to the fact that he thought Bryan was dissatisfied with the contract. Nevertheless, when he learned about the party, he had a slight sense of relaxation.
“Of course, I will,” Alpha Noble replied with a warm grin.
Without giving others another glance, Bryan left the conference room.
Sophia noticed everyone headed to the door to leave. Troy walked to her and said,
“Everyone was on the verge of losing their breath a while ago. Alpha is so dangerous! His aura is undefeatable.”
Sophia glanced at Alpha Noble and his beta, whom Beta Robert and Delta Edger were escorting out.
“He lost 5% without any reason,” she mumbled.
Troy’s laugh came to her ears as she turned to him. “What?” she asked.
“You should be happy that Alpha didn’t cancel the deal.”
“Wasn’t it an important deal?”
“It was more important for them than us.”
After a brief conversation with Troy, Sophia made her way to Bryan’s cabin.
She opened the door and saw him standing by the window, looking outside.
‘I wonder what he always looks at from there? Road? Sky?’ she thought, closing the door behind her.
“What do you want?” Bryan asked without turning around, as if he were aware that she was the one who had entered his cabin.
Sophia’s steps halted. She took a deep breath and decided to talk to him.
She walked over to him and stood behind him.
“Alpha, are you okay? You look mad at something,” she mumbled.
But when he turned around, she almost took a step back. His gaze was sharper than any knife.
“Are you willing to get back with Bruce again?” he asked out of nowhere.
Her eyes widened. She was at a loss to comprehend the reason for his question.
He observed her expression. A frown appeared on his face, and he turned back to the window.
“Still confused?” he muttered under his breath.
The realization dawned on Sophia that he had misunderstood her reaction. It was just that she was surprised by his sudden question.
She looked at his tall figure. It was like his broad shoulder was pulling her towards him.
She took a deep breath and then lifted her hands.
She slowly wrapped her hands around his torso from behind.
She leaned on his back and mumbled,
“I don’t want to get back with him. I don’t have anything for him or any other man. I-I…” she paused as she almost lost her breath while talking.
It took her all her strength to talk to him about it. Her hands gradually slipped away from his body when she felt him moving.
As he turned around, he looked at her. His body towered over her.
“You know what you are getting into, right?”
