CAELLUM’S POV
The past two weeks were uneventful and audacious.
I was yet to locate my goods. Tongues were wagging in the underworld of how I’d been duped by some girl. Men were defecting to the rival pack and the Cosa Nostra was receiving threats.
Everything was going wrong. And it was all thanks to my mate.
Tonight, I planned on venting my anger on her. Right after I rounded off on some deals. The business was falling and I was running low on cash. I was also running low on patience.
Three knocks on my door and I knew that Matteo was out there. If I were to take a guess, I’d say he was waiting with yet another bad news. That was all he had to say these days.
I didn’t need to speak before he came in.
“Alpha.” He greeted me with a curt nod, then proceeded to air his mission. “The lady lost consciousness.”
I froze midway through my writing and raised my head. “What?”
“The lady-”
“What the hell happened?!” I roared, unable to take it anymore.
