+Chapter 439+

Angelo obediently let himself be taken back to the mansion, spacing out on the car ride. If he wasn't walking behind Nikolai's men, he would have walked right to the stairs. In the elevator, he stared at the metal walls, not on guard despite being in an elevator full of men.

He got on the bed when he was ushered into his usual room by a familiar face, his body felt boneless, it felt like too much work to keep his eyes open. For the first time in a long time, he felt what it was like to be sleepy.

Angelo didn't remember falling asleep, waking up hours later from a dreamless sleep when the sun was going down. There was a knock on the door as he groggily opened his eyes, Angelo forced himself to get off the bed— Nikolai wouldn't knock.

And he was right, a different Alpha was standing on the other side of the door, he was a familiar face, one of Nikolai's men who always stood guard right outside his room.
