Chapter 67

However, I have known Marco for a few years. He helped with all the paperwork of my father’s will and also the transfer for my takeover since I was under investigation for his murder at the time. Most pack takeovers are either handed down or challenged for, but each city lives by its own rules. Unfortu- nately, the last city where we lived in, challenges were public events, so I came under hot water for killing my father. Marco helped me with that.

He is also the one helping me with the extension of the city. I’m looking to purchase the surrounding land all the way to the mountains, and the red tape was a pain in the ass to ac- quire Supernatural council land and human towns.

“Axton.” Marco nods, pulling out the chair beside me. “Stupid thing, it’s broken. Says my fingerprint isn’t reading.” Derrick snaps in frustration, bringing everyone’s attention to him.

“Eli, go look at it for him.” Eli huffs, but Derrick slides it over. “For now, read off Thomas’s.” I tell him.

We go over the recent attacks for the next three hours be- fore stopping for a break and returning.

 

When we do, we move on to the development of the city. Bringing up the maps, Marco takes down the list of surround- ing towns and the map locations.

“You can’t purchase that area,” he says, tapping the

screen.

“What, why not?” I ask him.

“Privately owned.” he shrugs.

“By who,” I demand. Great, this is just what I need.

“A new pack. The paperwork went in yesterday.” Marco tells me, highlighting the next part.

“A new pack?” I ask him, feeling that we now had every- one’s attention. “You know they have a week of anonymity,” Marco answers, but I knew if a new pack registered, he would know who they are. That was his job in the council.
