Lycan Alpha's Untamed Luna

Chapter 321: A Detailed Pretense

He was waiting for them at the office? Since when did a small pack’s alpha start to have such an attitude?

Should he not be the one greeting them? Killian felt his lips twitch at the audacity of the man.

He followed Drakon past the corridors, and his gaze fell on the multiple photographs that were lined on the tall

pastel blue wall. From the smiling pack members in graduation gowns to wedding attire, every single picture was

carefully selected and placed on top of the wall. Killian could see in one glance that, more than the pack bond,

Edward was more inclined to emphasise the human achievements of the pack.

Maybe he wants to prove to the humans that they are as normal as the arem, his beast mused within his head.

And that impressed and worried Killian. Edward seemed way too perfect while pretending to be something that

he wasn’t. A man like him...could he be even trusted? No wonder Seth was suspicious about this pack. It was an

anomaly to begin with, after all, not many would dare to skirt around the line that existed between council law

and rebellious rejection.

Maybe you are thinking too much,

Finn's voice echoed through the pack link. Maybe this is how these small packs survive. We have never been

close to one before, have we? Who knows, maybe this kind of lifestyle is more common than you think?

Perhaps.

Drakon led them to the office at the western wing of the mansion, as he opened the double wooden doors, a

man with greying hair and a weathered face turned to look at them. Killian glanced at the man and sniffed the

scent inside the room. He was an alpha, alright. But his alpha vibes were way too weak. No wonder he was

hiding among humans; this man was not fit to lead a pack.

"Alpha Sokolov," The man stood up from the leather chair. He walked around the curved table and stretched his

hand out. "I am Edward Dawson, Alpha of the Silver Dawn Pack. We are glad to have you here." Though he said

that, the fear that was oozing through his skin told him a different story.

He smells rotten. His beast sniffed in distaste, and Killian frowned. However, he didn’t take it seriously, for the

man smelled sour and his beast had never been a fan of sour smells.

Killian tilted his head to one side. "Alpha Dawson."

Drakon stepped forward and then went to stand behind his alpha, dropping the role of their guide and guard.

"Please sit down." Edward gestured at the leather couch that was sitting in the corner of the room. "Make

yourself comfortable, the banquet is yet to start."

Killian, however, didn’t follow his command. Instead, he walked around the office, taking in the details of the

room. Just like the entire city, this place was completely devoid of any signs or traces that would prove that the

man in front of him was a predator. A large flat screen dominated the wall, right above the unlit electric fire. All

sorts of human art pieces were hanging on the walls at perfect angles and precise angles. A single gramophone

sat as a decoration on a small table next to the leather armchairs.

"Your territory... is not what | was expecting."

Edward's smile turned strained. "We have indeed worked hard to integrate within the human settlement as

closely as possible."

"Well, you certainly did a grand job on that," stated Killian with a hint of a smile on his face, which eased the

nervousness in the room. But only for a few seconds. He turned to look at the photo where Edward was handing

out a five million cheque to the head of an old-age home. "And you are quite charitable."

The shift in his scent was really subtle, but Killian noticed it right away. "Well, being charitable and philanthropic

does help out a little. The humans treat us with respect and with constant charity; even the Zealots stay away

from us, or else they would csniffing around. So, it's much easier to spend smoney and send the

trouble away."

"Easier... and expensive," Killian pointed out. He turned to look at the man behind him with a smile on his lips

that didn’t reach his eyes. "Really expensive. Do you think it's worth spending so much money just for the sake

of avoiding trouble?"

His scent shifted once again, and this taround, the anxiety was so palpable that even Finn turned and

glanced at the man with a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Our pack has worked hard towards the path of

prosperity."

"How does a pack of only

eighty-something families manage
