Chapter 99

“Bullshit!”

Axel muttered under his breath, his jaw tightening as he watched Kane step onto the stage.

Alpha Darius greeted him with a firm handshake, his expression unreadable.

“I can’t believe this! How is this even possible, boss?” Rachel asked me, her voice thick with disappointment.

All my company managers had their heads lowered, defeat clear in their eyes. The sight made my blood boil.

“Alpha Kane, please, say a few words,” the Beta of the Moonveil Pack urged him.

At that moment, Alpha Tate handed Kane a bouquet of assorted flowers as a congratulatory gesture.

My eyes widened as something clicked in my mind. Shifting my gaze from the bouquet to Kane, I caught him smirking at me.

I clenched my fists, resisting the overwhelming urge to wipe that smug grin off his face.

That was when it hit me–he was the one who had sent me the bouquet of red roses last night.

Kane finally looked away and began to speak.

“Good evening, everyone. I, Alpha Kane, never forget my vows to my pack. When I took over as the head Alpha, my father entrusted me with keeping our pack strong. That has always been my priority.”

I scoffed at his empty words. This man was nothing but a fraud. I had witnessed firsthand how he treated his father. Now, he was standing there, pretending to be the ideal son.

“We will grant the Nightfall Pack 70% of the profits from this project.”

A collective gasp filled the room.

“Seventy percent?”

Murmurs erupted behind me. Every Alpha in attendance was stunned. No one had expected Alpha Tate to agree to a deal that seemed to put his pack at a disadvantage. It was widely assumed Nightfall Pack’s company would negotiate for more than 50%, but 70%? That was unheard of. The Nightfall Pack was one of the largest, with a formidable number of warriors. Offering their strength to another pack was a risky move–what if their own pack was attacked while their forces were away?
