Chapter 12- Penalty For The Breach
DAMON~
As Julian introduced himself Carlos got a message that needed his attention and had to leave the meeting so I called in Daniel to fill in for him and provide me with his counsel on whatever problem it was that Julian came to talk to me about. Daniel stood by my side skeptical of the man that stood before him but he didn't voice his opinion as they were not yet needed and instead just listened to what Julian had to say.
"Fuck" I cursed the words I had just heard, tugging at the strands of my hair from frustration.
"You're sure the end of the tunnel was in Howlcreek," Daniel asked Julian his tone void of belief.
"I would say it if I wasn't," Julian said, clearly offended by Daniels's tone.
"Who knows, you are low-rank scum, your kind would do anything to rise" Daniel spat, Julian's face twisted in anger before he replied.
"My loyalty and respect belong to the Alpha, not a wanna-be whisperer", Daniel's jaw tightened, he stepped forward to act but stopped when he caught a glimpse of the look on my face.
"Enough both of you, you're not children and we are dealing with an actual problem here," I said angrily, they both looked at each other before looking at me.
"Apologies Advisor," Julian said but Daniel remained quiet, his silence made a slight chuckle escape Julian and a victorious smile quickly crossed his lips, Daniel clenched his fist as he understood the unspoken taunt.
