Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

"I see."

Dawson eased a little. "Our pack members work as CEOs, lawyers, engineers and even researchers." His chest swelled with pride. "I, too, work with several financial advisors. Investing in shares and land helps us in many ways that we cannot explain. I mean, humans might be weak, but they are quite smart when it comes to making money. If you want, I can help you invest, Alpha Sokolov. I promise that you will be satisfied with my work."

Are they alright with this?" He pointed to the photograph where Edward was playing with the young ones. He looked human. Pretended to be human even when he was not one.

Killian’s eyes twitched. He had a feeling that there was more to the story, but he still nodded, looking unimpressed. "I would like to take some rest."

"Of course, I can ask Chief Drakon Hart to escort you to your mansion..."
