CHAPTER 9 I Have a Single Request

  Ares POV

  "I'm pleased that you enjoyed the wine I recommended. Blaire mentioned your preference for that wine, so I made sure it was served exclusively to you if ever you visited this place, and it did indeed happen." I began with a smile that stretched from ear to ear.

  "Well, I appreciate that, Ares," He said, taking a deep breath.

  "I want to be direct with you," he stated. "I am grateful that our partnership had a significant effect on both packs, and you have gained a reputation as the strongest young Alpha! You are now a danger to all Alphas." He chuckles and gives me a small round of applause.

  I couldn't help but smirk. "Everyone is a threat to me because my father holds the same position as I do. They are fully aware of my upcoming achievement." I blurted it out without a second thought.

  He nibbled on his lips. "Sure thing,"

  "It's common knowledge that you're the one destined to preserve the fortune your predecessors toiled to build."
