By the time Landon reluctantly parted ways with Tessa and arrived at the Silvermoon Estate, the other three were already there. As soon as he walked in, Nathaniel stood up to pull out his chair.

“Alpha, didn’t you say you’d be here in twenty minutes? What happened–did something unspeakable happen with Ms. Sinclair?” he asked with a teasing grin

“Nathaniel, what are you even thinking?” Cameron chimed in. “If Landon really had done something unspeakable, do you think he’d be here in just twenty minutes? Please. That would take at least two hours. My guess? He hasn’t even gotten a taste yet.”

Hudson nodded in agreement. “Yeah, with Landon’s stamina? Two hours at minimum.”

Nathaniel nodded solemnly. “Alpha, I apologize. I clearly underestimated your strength. You love Ms. Sinclair so much, if it were your first time with her, she probably wouldn’t be able to walk for three days straight.”

That set all three of them off into laughter.

“You three clearly have too much time on your hands if you’re busy gossiping about my love life,” Landon said flatly.

The tone was mild–but it sent a chill straight through them.

Nathaniel immediately sobered up. “Alpha, Evan’s been acting like a peacock lately, doing everything he can to make his presence known. If he wants to die so badly, why not just give him what he wants?”

So what if he was the Alpha of the Thornbane Pack? They’d already driven him out of Navoris five years ago.

Hudson nodded. “Exactly. The Thornbane Pack may have grown stronger over the past few years, but they’re still no match for the Nightshade Pack.”

The only trouble was Evan’s underhanded tactics.

He was sly–full of dirty tricks that made him unpredictable. But when it came to pure strength, he was no match for Landon.

And on top of that, Landon had the three of them.

“Well,” Cameron said with a smirk, “if he wants to play, let’s play. Been a while since I got my hands dirty. I’m itching for it.

Landon poured himself a glass of red wine and swirled it lazily in the glass.

“In the modern werewolf world, we don’t solve everything with blood and claws. Evan wants a piece of this investment deal? Let him in. I’ll make sure eyerything he swallows–he coughs right back up.”

In today’s world, brute strength wasn’t everything. Economic growth and strategic power were just as critical.

Money and resources were the true foundation of a pack’s strength. Sufficient capital meant better training resources, advanced infrastructure, and elite logistics for the entire pack

But if they botched an investment of this scale, the pack would suffer–crippled by lack of funding. When that happened, the Thornbane Pack would start to crumble from within without Landon lifting a finger.

And Evan–his obsession with self–indulgence came at the expense of his own pack’s welfare.

With every bad decision he made, Thornbane Pack’s resources grew thinner, and trust among his wolves began to erode. Eventually, he would find himself completely isolated.

Didn’t he want to become Montedra’s Alpha King?
