Chapter 541: + - 541+
Asher’s hazel eyes were aflame, not taking the green branch Davian held out. "Would that be worth it? You think Angelo would accept you losing everything?"
Nikolai sat forward in his seat, a snarling expression on his face. "Keep his name out your mouth. You know nothing about anything."
Asher knew he had hit a sore spot, but he didn’t back down. Nikolai and Silvia might have a valid reason for why they were doing what they were doing, but neither of them were thinking about how Angelo would take this.
Davian was on the sidelines, completely lost on what was going on. But even while being confused, he knew things wouldn’t end well if he let them go on.
"I don’t have to know anything," Asher leaned back, he might be taking Silvia’s request a little too seriously, but he considered Nikolai almost a friend. "And it seems he doesn’t know anything either."
"Asher." Davian cut in tersely, his voice stopping Nikolai from lunging across the table like he was about to. He rose to his feet and grabbed Asher by his fur coat, pulling the other Alpha to his feet as well.
"We’ll be back if the High Council continues its assault on your turf." Davian concluded. "You might not like it, but there has to be an alternative way to get what you want."
With that, he turned and left, dragging Asher out with him. The mouthy Alpha seemed primed to say more, and Davian would rather they didn’t come to blows while things were already so dicey.
He didn’t say anything until they were back in their car and on their way back to Asher’s club. He had left his car over there, so he needed to go back to retrieve it.
