Chapter 23. The Inner Circle

Jake thought Alpha Wayne would be back already so he went into his quarters to fetch him for an urgent news. But since he wasn't back yet, he was heading back out. However, he stopped when he heard the elevator coming up.

The elevator door opened and his eyes almost widened at how his friend and Alpha was holding unto Olive affectionately. They both looked roughened up with their tousled hair.

“Alpha,” Jake acknowledged him and bowed. They stopped walking.

“Beta, what is it?” Alpha Knight asked with a stern face. He wasn't expecting anyone in his quarters at the moment.

“I…Well, we wanted to discuss something with you. The Inner Circle,” Jake answered, his gaze moving from Olive to Wayne.

“I thought I made it clear that I wanted this week to be free, Jake?”

“I know, but…it's about Lord Lina,” Jake stated and Wayne froze. He stared at his Beta for a few seconds then relaxed a little.

“Any good news?”

“It's good and bad news, Alpha.”
