Chapter One Hundred and Eight Five Chapter One Hundred and Eight Five KADIA'S POV I couldn't sit in my room sulking over Alexander. There was a lot to be done, so I did the next best thing-l immersed myself in a busy life, hoping it would take my mind off him. I should move on, maybe even allow myself a few healthy affairs.
I noticed the way smen in the pack watched me, their interest unmistakable. There would be no strings attached, just casual flings-those too could helpstop thinking about him. But for sreason, I couldn't bring myself to do it, despite knowing he had done the same. Alexander was the only man I had ever given my body to, and I didn't think there could be any other person "Alpha," Austin called, his voice pullingfrom my thoughts. "Alpha Derek of the Onyx Pack had just arrived." Austin reported.
"Let him in," I said. Austin nodded and went to pass the message to the patrollers.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Onyx pack was also a well-known pack. They were big on the production of quality ammunition; this had given their pack a strong financial standing. I remembered my father speaking about the pack; we sometimes did business with them, but the Onyx Pack hadn't always been this financially stable. Alpha Derek had brought about the change when he took over the title. He has been ruling for fifteen years, and those years have brought impressive, noteworthy results to the pack. It was fair to say he was one of the best Alphas the Onyx pack had ever gotten, and his people practically worshipped him.
Austin returned to informthat Alpha Derek was waiting in the meeting room for an audience with me. I remained for twenty more minutes before finally getting up to meet my visitor.
I hadn't seen him in years, so of course I was surprised at how good-looking he was. The man had a mass of curly brown hair, piercing green eyes, and an admirably strong build. He looked every bit the Alpha, his aura radiating power.
His eyes trailed down my frame, studying and evaluating me. He wanted to determine whether I was truly a threat, then his gaze met mine. I couldn't tell if he sawas one-his face revealed nothing. He also didn't mention the minutes he had spent waiting for my arrival.
Phil and Austin were already seated by the tI arrived, but he was accompanied by his Beta and Gamma-both of whom I had forgotten their names.
"Thank you for meetingon such short notice," he said, and I gave a slight nod of acknowledgement. "This is my beta, James, and my gamma, Timothy," he introduced.
The beta looked like he would have loved to be anywhere else but here; the Gamma, on the other hand, was on high alert; in fact, from how tense he was, I could tell he was a well trained warrior.
"A pleasure to meet you." They both rose to their feet, and we shook hands.

"I don't intend to offend you, but I have squestions-ones I'm curious to have answered." JJ I said nothing, but he continued speaking.
"I would like to know where the Alpha King, Alexander ha disappeared to." "I am just as clueless as you are." I lied swiftly.

"It is indeed a surprise that he left. It's almost hard to believe "Well, that's what happened." I said, refusing to give anything away.
Derek stared at both my advisors. "I wonder if we could have stto speak alone?" He asked. "Of course." I said. "If you would cwith me.' mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
