It was the day of the great Alpha meeting, a day that would decide the fate of many.
Derrick was adjusting his blazer, preparing to step out, when his phone rang. He glanced at the screen, and a slight look of surprise crossed his face.
Alpha Darwin.
His expression shifted into irritation. *Why is he calling me now?* He sighed before picking up the call, forcing his voice to remain calm.
"Good morning, Alpha Darwin."
"Good morning, Derrick..." Alpha Darwin's voice carried an urgency that Derrick did not appreciate.
"I assume you're preparing for the meeting. I need to ask you something important."
Derrick clenched his jaw, his irritation growing. *What does he want now? *He forced himself to remain composed.
"Go ahead. I'm listening."
"Do you know what the meeting is about? Or do you have anything to do with calling such an urgent gathering?"
Derrick was silent for a moment, carefully choosing his words. He wasn't about to reveal anything.
