Chapter 498 An Accident Or Conspiracy

I didn't stop there for a moment after that. Running off, I stopped only after reaching my room.

Shit! How could he come so early?

He spoiled all my plans.

I locked the door and took out my laptop, connecting it to the portable wifi I had with me. It was not easy to get detected by server security.

*I can't do this. I am going back.* I sent a text to the anonymous client. What happened today made me question whether the amount of money was worth the risk after all.

He still hadn't disclosed his identity and wanted me to die for his so-called work. I snorted at the dickhead.

*No, you can't back out. You have to do this.* The reply came instantly

*I am not so silly to get myself killed.* I replied back, getting frustrated about his dangerous deal.

That guy would get me murdered by the Alpha King if I were not cautious.

*I am sending there a backup. But you already have someone who will help you there. You don't have to leave the work incomplete.* He texted, and he signed off instantly. What the hell was that?

Help?!

Here in this Moonglow pack?

If he had someone, then why did he not get this work done by that person?

Then I remembered breaking the security of the Moonglow pack was not that easy, and only an expert like me could crack the code.

But one thing I couldn't understand was why I felt that strange way when my asshole ex-mate was near me.

I walked to the small mirror on the wall and, tilting my neck, I searched for the mating mark. It was not there, but only its burned scar as the pain was still fresh in my mind.

As the sun began to rise over the Moonglow pack's territory, the omegas were already bustling about in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for the rest of the pack. I quickly got ready for the day's work, diligently trying to complete everything Luna Avery had instructed me to do for her breakfast. The matron, Eden, watched us with a scowl on her face. Sometimes, I weirdly felt her staring at me more often than others.

I sneakily took a glance at her and found her standing in the doorway, her arms crossed over her chest and a scary murderous expression on her face. She looked over the omegas with a critical eye.

"What's taking so long?" She barked. "I don't have all day to wait for you worthless omegas to make breakfast. Get a move on!"

I furrowed, looking at her. She could clearly see that all the omegas were working so hard to meet her expectations, and we were even before time. Still, she didn't miss a second to scold us. Eden lifted her brow in challenge when she found me glaring at her. I silently turned, averting my eyes and focusing on the work I had been doing.
