Chapter 82
-Alex's POV-
I stood at the entrance of the facility waiting for them to prepare him to be seen. I knew once I stepped into that room and asked for his help. there would be no going back and as I sat there, replaying the day of the bombing in my head, I knew the decision had already been made.
-Three days earlier-
The news crackled over and over in my head, and I couldn't stop grinding my teeth in anger. Land claim. My land. The territory that had been in my pack's possession for generations, the one bordering his damn forest, was now apparently "up for grabs" according to the old bastard.
My fingers tightened around the phone, the plastic digging into my palm. This wasn't some corporate takeover, some hostile bid I could counter with lawyers and financial maneuvering.

It had been dragging on for weeks, a constant reminder of Amaya's presence. She had gone on to ignore me after the outburst at the pack and I hadn't stopped thinking about it. The more I did, the more I forced myself to believe that I had made no mistake because if the truth was that they were indeed fabricated then my whole world would be ruined.
"No. I won't be back today."
