Chapter 45 Alpha Eric Harrow

“Alpha Eric. What a surprise.” I greeted back flatly.

Ever since Danny told me about Eric’s plan, I knew there was a likelihood I’d run into Eric. I just didn’t expect it would be so soon.

Eric walked toward me, his arms outstretched as approached. I lowered my head and bowed, subtly avoiding his offering for an embrace.

He gently held my shoulder instead, willing me to look up to him. His smile still warm as he asked, “What's wrong, Mira? Aren’t you happy to see me?”

Alpha Whitestone’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. “Alpha Harrow, I thought this young lady is from Star Ocean since she came to negotiate on Star Ocean's behalf. I didn't realize you two are...acquainted?”

Eric admitted openly, “Oh yes, we go way back.” However, he didn’t elaborate any further. I knew he was doing it on purpose, stirring doubt in Alpha Whitestone’s mind. And it worked—the suspicion on Bryce’s face was evident.
