The moon’s silver rays bathed the scene, illuminating the dark secrets hidden within. From his perch on the upper floor, Alpha Kilian observed the unfolding drama with keen eyes. His alpha instincts stirred as he witnessed Miguel, a young man, kneeling before Tony, a mere child. Furrowing his brows, he couldn’t comprehend the reason for such an act. What could compel a young man to submit to a child’s authority?
Though the distance obscured the details, Alpha Kilian could discern Tony’s refusal through his gestures. Miguel’s back shielded his words from Alpha Kilian’s ears, leaving him in the dark. Just then, Nelly approached, her curiosity piqued by Alpha Kilian’s focus. Seeking answers, she inquired, “What captures your gaze, Alpha Kilian?”
As Nelly followed Alpha Kilian’s gaze downwards, she realized that Tony and Miguel had already departed. Shaking off her bewilderment, she turned to Alpha Kilian and replied, “Nothing of importance.” Nelly’s response was met with a nod from Alpha Kilian before he raised a different question. “Anything of note occurred during my absence?”
Taking a moment to gather her thoughts, Nelly then revealed, “An unfortunate event transpired involving General Will of the Midnight Fang Pack. He is presumed to be deceased.”
A deep frown etched across Alpha Kilian’s face, contemplating this news. “Dead?” His thoughts connected the dots, leading him to a theory. “Was it the work of Boss?”
Alpha Kilian’s keen intellect swiftly pieced together the puzzle, and Nelly confirmed his suspicion with a nod. A smirk crept across Alpha Kilian’s lips as he acknowledged Boss’s capability for such a feat.
“He may be eccentric, but it seems he sought vengeance on my behalf…” Nelly’s voice trailed as she contemplated the implications. Alpha Kilian maintained his piercing gaze, pressing for more information. “Vengeance on your behalf?”
In response, Nelly lifted her gaze to meet Alpha Kilian’s, her face radiant with newfound understanding. With a soft smile, she confessed, “During my visit to Midnight Fang Pack, I uncovered the truth about my father’s fate.”
Alpha Kilian regarded her with skepticism. “Is that so?”
Nodding firmly, Nelly proceeded to reveal her father’s decision to depart from the organization due to their cruel and inhumane practices. Unfortunately, his departure led to a death sentence issued by the general in charge at the time. Alpha Kilian furrowed his brow, mentally calculating the timelines. “According to your account, the general should be old by now. General Will does not fit the description.”
“You’re correct. Though it was the previous general who gave the order, it was General Will who recommended my father’s execution. He held immense influence over the old general,” Nelly disclosed, offering a glimpse into the past.
Alpha Kilian took a moment to absorb the revelation, his mind racing. “Did Boss share all this information with you?”
Nelly hesitated briefly before responding, no longer wishing to hide anything from Alpha Kilian. “Not everything. Boss provided me with a voice recording featuring General Will and himself.”
Alpha Kilian accepted the authenticity of the recording, trusting Nelly’s intelligence to discern truth from falsehood. Memories from his own childhood flashed before his eyes, leading him to a startling revelation. The child they had encountered in their past could not be a mere coincidence it must have been Boss.
With this realization in mind, Alpha Kilian probed further. “Have you ever considered that the true culprit may be someone else?”
“Those involved in my father’s demise are all dead, aside from General Will. I had planned to take revenge myself, but I didn’t expect Boss to eliminate him,” Nelly admitted. She paused, then continued with a sense of closure. “Regardless, he is gone now. I can finally release the burden in my heart, no longer tormented by nightmares. I can finally live a normal life.”
Alpha Kilian had intended to delve deeper into the matter, but hearing Nelly’s words made him reconsider. Uncovering more could only bring more pain to Nelly, and now that she had found peace, it seemed best to let go of the past. With gentle eyes, he gazed at Nelly, offering his support. “You’re right. The source of your pain is gone. From now on, there is no need to dwell on this anymore. Live a carefree, peaceful life. When we return, I will take care of the company and fulfill my promise to you – to stand by your side, protect you, and explore the world together.”
Nelly’s smile warmed Alpha Kilian’s heart as she embraced his words. “When we return, I would like to pay respects to my parents’ resting place.”
“I will accompany you,” Alpha Kilian assured her.
Their eyes met, a silent understanding passing between them. Taking Nelly’s hand in his, Alpha Kilian pulled her closer, narrowing the space between them. “Nelly, does this mean you agree?”
Perplexed, Nelly glanced at his extended hand. With playful innocence, she questioned, “Agree? Agree to what?”
“To reconcile with me,” Alpha Kilian stated, his eyes narrowing.
Bewilderment painted Nelly’s face, her smile never faltering. “Reconcile? I’m not sure what you mean, Alpha Kilian. You’ve yet to ask me anything.”
A playful glint flashed in Alpha Kilian’s eyes, as he regarded her. Her radiant smile mirrored the moon’s glow. “Indeed, Nelly. But perhaps it’s time you agree and admit that we both desire reconciliation.”
Perplexed, Nelly’s eyes sparkled with intrigue. “Reconciliation? Tell me, Alpha Kilian, what is it that we are reconciling?”
In the werewolf tone, Nelly and Alpha Kilian’s story unfolds amidst the secrets and mysteries of the night. Unearthed truths intertwine with their connection, leading to a newfound understanding and the possibility of reconciling past wounds. With the moon as their witness, the werewolves forge a path towards healing, love, and a bright future.
