Free Web NovelChapter 65: Chapter 65 Crushing Authority
Author
Alpha Zack had arranged this meeting, personally inviting Alpha Dominic at Alpha Enzo’s request.
When he’d asked why Alpha Dominic was targeting the Vance corporation, Alpha Enzo had been evasive.
Like a politician dodging scandal questions.
Not a single word about Dominic and Elara being mates had crossed Alpha Enzo’s lips. freёwebnovel.com
Alpha Dominic arrived with one hand casually tucked in his pocket, pushing open the private room door with an air of deliberate nonchalance.
Alpha Zack rose to greet him, and though his face appeared calm, his wolf blood couldn’t completely hide the instinctive fear of the Alpha King. "Alpha King, please come in."
The temperature in the room seemed to drop ten degrees the moment Alpha Dominic entered.
"Alpha Zack, you’ve gone to all this trouble to invite me here today. What favor do you need?"
Alpha Zack struggled to control his wolf’s instinctive trembling, keeping his voice steady. "Alpha King, it’s not for me."
"It’s my girlfriend’s father who has a small favor to ask. I’d appreciate if you would hear him out."
Alpha Dominic unhurriedly pulled out a chair and sat down.
The Alpha King’s powerful aura spread throughout the room like a suffocating blanket, making every wolf present feel the crushing pressure.
A smile played on his lips, though it never reached his eyes. "Oh, a favor..."
"But Alpha Zack, in the wolf hierarchy, do you really have enough pull with me to ask for favors?"
The question hit like a sledgehammer.
The air suddenly froze. Every Alpha in the room felt a chill run down their spine.
The other Alphas who had come along fell silent, even their breathing becoming shallow. Their wolf bloodlines made it impossible to resist the dominance of a superior Alpha.
Alpha Zack’s fingertips curled against the table. His wolf instincts screamed at him to look away and submit, but he forced himself to maintain eye contact.
He looked nervously at the man across from him, his wolf instincts going haywire with danger signals.
Alpha Dominic leaned back lazily in his chair, his posture relaxed, but his eyes were like frozen daggers, his expression filled with disdain.
Alpha Zack’s throat worked nervously. He looked like a deer caught in headlights. His voice came out slightly shaky. "The Alpha King seems... not in the best mood today."
Understatement of the century.
Alpha Dominic leaned forward, unhurriedly reaching for the wine bottle and pouring himself some red wine. The sound of liquid hitting glass was the only noise in the tense room. The dark red liquid clung to the glass walls, slowly flowing down.
He wasn’t in any rush. Why should he be? Alpha Zack was the one who’d come crawling to him. freewebnovel.cσ๓
He swirled the wine glass with casual arrogance, his commanding presence making the red wine look almost like blood. The comparison wasn’t lost on either of them.
"Cut to the chase, Zack. This beating around the bush is getting old." His patience was wearing thin, and it showed.
His piercing gaze rose over the rim of his glass, landing on Zack’s increasingly pale face. He smirked coldly, predatory instincts flashing in his eyes. "After all, we’re not exactly drinking buddies."
More like predator and prey.
Zack’s expression darkened with barely concealed fear. He tried to force a smile but failed, asking with careful deference: "Alpha King, has Uncle Enzo done something to upset you?"
"The East Side territory... is there some misunderstanding?"
Alpha Dominic shrugged with complete indifference, the Alpha King’s arrogance on full display. "I took it. Got a problem with that?"
Alpha Zack bit his lip hard. His wolf blood wanted to challenge this, but facing the Alpha King’s absolute authority, he could only speak like he was begging: "I know you must have your reasons... but Uncle Enzo really depends on that territory..."
Alpha Dominic stared at the wine in his hand, taking a small sip. His Alpha aura became even more menacing, as if he were merely handling the most boring task in the world.
"Here’s the truth. There’s no other reason. I just find your future father-in-law irritating, along with that future mate of yours."
"That whole family makes me sick. Crystal clear?"
Zack’s complexion turned ghostly white.
The wolf energy in the room became suffocating. This was nothing short of a public slap in the face.
Alpha Dominic couldn’t care less about Alpha Zack’s humiliation. He stood up with the absolute authority befitting an Alpha King, speaking with ice-cold finality: "Was it worth dragging me here for such a petty issue?"
"I’m leaving. Alpha Zack, save your breath to beg someone else."
"If you actually cared," he looked down with a cold smile, cunning flashing in his predatory eyes, "why not buy the territory yourself and give it back to Enzo?"
The brief power struggle between the Alpha King and the subordinate Alpha ended instantly, with Dominic’s absolute status and strength delivering the final blow.
Alpha Zack sat there looking like he’d been hit by a truck.
He hadn’t expected the Alpha King to humiliate him so brutally, but as a lower-ranking Alpha, he didn’t dare fight back.
He struggled to his feet, his voice barely steady: "Please... have a safe trip."
