Alpha Derrick drove alone through the dimly lit streets, his fingers drumming impatiently on the steering wheel.
The invitation to this late-night meeting had been unexpected, but he was curious.
Three powerful alphas from different packs had summoned him to a luxurious restaurant, and that alone meant something big was at play.
*I don't trust easily, and I won't start now.*
As he pulled into the restaurant's private parking lot, a valet rushed forward to open the car door.
Without acknowledging the man, Derrick stepped out, his black leather jacket slightly brushing against the expensive car's surface.
The moment he entered, two guards in suits immediately escorted him to the VIP section.
His steps were slow, calculated. He didn't like surprises, and right now, this meeting felt like one.
Inside, three men sat around a circular table. The moment they saw him, they stood up, showing him a level of respect that didn't go unnoticed.
