Chapter 194: Outside the box
"What is wrong with your Alpha and his beta?" Like the playful person he was, Dave asked and shook his head, finding both of their actions weird. Damien would never hesitate to protect his people, and Enoch would blindly accept to enter hell for Damien.
Why were they both suddenly avoiding responsibilities and choosing the careful path, something he always persuaded them to do?
"I believe we will find out soon," excusing themselves, an elder hopelessly said and they left the room.
"Well, I hope it is something good." Brushing it off, Dave muttered and also left the study room.

"That was not our agreement, remember?" Tightly gripping her hand, he said, staring down at her with a burning intensity. She could feel his anger, his fear, his worry as they stared at each other and it reminded her of the time she lost her parents.
