Chapter 55: Unexpected Encounters
(Marcus’s POV)
I remained unfazed as I picked up the information, unsurprised. “Elena asked him to investigate.”
The file contained detailed records of Vincent’s activities and connections. Nothing I hadn’t expected.
Amber Stone shifted uncomfortably beside my desk. “Alpha Marcus, given the historical animosity between the Sterling family and the Blackwood family, Nathan Sterling might exploit Elena’s trust.”
I set the documents down with deliberate calm. “That’s her affair.”
My voice carried no emotion, but inside, my wolf Logan paced restlessly. The thought of Elena turning to Nathan Sterling for help grated against every protective instinct I possessed.
Amber Stone noticed my obvious displeasure despite my controlled exterior. She cautiously inquired, “What about David Blackthorne’s case? Should we continue the investigation?”
I remained silent for a long moment, staring out the window at the Northern Territory skyline. The truth
mattered, even if it complicated things.
“Investigate everyone connected to him,” I finally instructed. “I want to know exactly what happened.”
Amber Stone nodded and gathered the files. “Yes, Alpha.”
Shortly after she left, my phone rang. Sophia’s name flashed on the screen, and I could hear tears in her voice
before she even spoke.
“Marcus, please come quickly! Oliver hurt himself and he won’t stop crying without you here!”
I leaned back in my chair, feeling the familiar weight of responsibility. “How severe is the injury?”
“He fell onto sharp moon rock fragments and he’s bleeding so much!” Sophia’s voice cracked with panic. “I
don’t have a moonlight herb healing kit here. Please, Marcus, he needs you!”
The desperation in her voice stirred something protective in me. Despite everything, Oliver was just a child.
“I’ll come over after I finish my work,” I said noncommittally.
