It had been a month since my coronation and the sealing of Silver Pack as one of the packs under Black Hills. Beatrice was back, weirdly and happily, with a son. I hadn’t gotten the time to ask her where he’d come from, but
he surely wasn’t hers.
My pack was like a normal one now. We decided to major in gold mining, as we were very used to dark places due to our roguish nature. And Blue Bloom was solely majoring in fishery, so we could as well steal their source of
income.
Everything was going smoothly, well, I even got to chat with Ray for a minute at the coronation. He had been
Chris’s representative. But Alpha Jaden had been acting weird since his last visit. He stayed for only a few minutes. during my coronation. He spoke only congratulatory words to me and left before any official saw us together. I
mean, we weren’t doing anything wrong.
Jake attended the majority of his meetings and never spoke of his brother. I doubted I’d be welcomed if I went there. I must have said something wrong on the day he visited, or was it about what Chris had said? I never knew what it was. And after I thought hard on it, I realized that he had said something about him being careful. I really
should have asked what he’d heard.
A knock on the door of the courtroom broke my thoughts. I glanced at the silhouette of the figure, looking through the door with wolf vision. It was a small man, Beatrice’s son. He wasn’t small, at eight, but he surely didn’t look it with that three–foot height.
“Alpha?” he peeked inside when I said nothing. He smiled broadly on seeing me. “My mom is coming to see you.”
“She should come, I’m right here,” I said in a flat tone. The kid didn’t catch that I wanted to be alone and walked
tricked you, she’s not coming,” he began laughing. What was funny? My face didn’t even move. Since when
dislike kids this much?
“What’s that?” he pointed at a painting.
“It’s a nonyabusiness.”
He made a surprised face. “Wow? What’s ‘noyabizne‘ for?”
I groaned internally; he was so dumb and curious. Those two shouldn’t go hand in hand.
“It’s just a painting, okay?” I sighed, flipping through the book in front of me.
He came in front of my book and stood before the light. “What are you reading, Alpha?”
My fists clenched, but I hid them away from him, not because I didn’t want him to see it, but I didn’t want him to know when I’d use it!

Chapter 75
“Nonyabusiness, the latest edition.”
He looked at the painting and my book. “That painting is from this book?” his eyes widened.
94%
He must be kidding me! But I nodded, anything to make him let me be. He ran to the painting and looked at it enthralled. I sighed. Beatrice should come get her kid.
Like the Moon goddess heard me, Beatrice walked in, with a frown, marching towards me.
“Here to scold your kid for leaving his room?” I asked her in mind link.
She slowed down and gazed at her son. “No, I knew he was here with you.”
She what? And she let him?
“Actually, we have rogue problem. We caught a spy from Red Moon that has been here for a while, dating one of our warriors,” she reported.
I rose from my seat, the kid ran behind his mother. Did I look scary? Maybe I should look this way all the time to get him off my track?
“Where’s the bastard and his lover?” I barked, storming out of the courtroom.
Red Moon had someone here for long? How did they ever get past without me knowing? And why didn’t she just
handle this one?
“Greta?!” I yelled in disbelief.
She jumped and ran in front of a young man, kneeling on the floor, in a protective stance. “Alpha, I can explain.”
