Chapter 384: True purpose...

Ramsey

The sun was too high in the sky, and I was pissed.

Elias, on the other hand, looked like I’d just accused him of something he didn’t do. But I wasn’t in the mood for games.

"What did you say?" he asked.

I took two steps towards him.

"I said," I enunciated my words, holding his gaze "The same Hollow Kin that sent me a threatening message saying if I don’t show up within a fortnight, I’ll be stripped of my rank as Lycan Leader? That same Hollow Kin?"

Elias looked at me with genuine confusion, his eyebrows drawing together in a frown. "I don’t understand. The Hollow Kin would never do that. They respect the autonomy of—"

I scoffed, cutting him off as I pulled out my phone. "Really? Then explain this." I flashed him the screen, showing the threatening message I’d received in the early hours of the morning.

He leaned in, squinting his eyes as he read the message, his expression growing more embarrassed with each other. Then, he sighed deeply and rolled his eyes in a gesture that meant this was not the first time something like this had happened.

"Damn it," he muttered, rubbing the back of his neck. "Of course it came from him."

"Him?" I asked, arching my brow. "Who’s him?"

"Our new leader," he murmured, giving me a sheepish look. "Alpha Ramsey, I’m sorry about this," he said, running a hand through his hair. "Our new Hollow Kin leader is... annoying. He’s not like the previous leader. He’s younger, just like you, the youngest leader we’ve ever had. More aggressive, less diplomatic."

"Does that excuse him for sending me this stupid message, and for what? Doesn’t he have people who advise him?"

"He does," Elias sighed. "But his new inner-council members are much worse. He has the notorious Korvain on his side and a few others who think the world owes them something."

"That doesn’t explain anything, Elias. I own the goddamn Hollow Kin. I should not be getting threatening messages from them. Except, of course, there’s another Lycan Leader somewhere whom they take orders from."
