After I left, the twin Alphas went crazy novel Chapter 173

Lirian nodded, his jaw tightening.

“It’s the only explanation. The problem is growing, and it’s hard to trace where these substances are coming from. But… I suspect someone is behind it all.”

I could feel the sinking feeling in my chest as I processed his words.

A cold shiver ran down my spine as the thought crossed my mind. Ryan.

Ryan’s company had been distributing drugs like these, and it was only a matter of time before they began to spread. My stomach churned at the thought, and I couldn’t suppress the feeling of dread creeping over me.

“I’m sorry you’re dealing with all of that,” I whispered, my voice barely audible.

It was all too much to handle.

Lirian’s expression softened. He didn’t say anything else, simply holding me close, his arms wrapping around me with an unspoken promise to keep me safe.

For a moment, we just stayed like that, drawing comfort from each other’s presence.

The next morning arrived with the usual hustle of the pack’s morning activities.

As I sat at the breakfast table, my assistant Zoe arrived, carrying a stack of papers.

She walked up to me with her usual efficient demeanor, though I could see the curiosity in her eyes.

“Miss Sophia,” she said, placing the papers down before me. “There’s an update on work, but there’s something else I need to mention.”

I raised an eyebrow, glancing up from the papers I was scanning. “What is it?”

She hesitated for a moment, clearly unsure how to word it.

“After the incident… Caden has shown unusual interest in meeting with you. He seems eager to speak with you about something.”

I frowned, my thoughts turning to Caden.

He was the last person I wanted to deal with right now, especially after the events that had unfolded.

But before I could respond, a servant entered with a small, velvet box.

“This was found in the storage room, Miss,” the servant said, handing me the box with a polite bow. “It’s a ring. Should we dispose of it?”

I glanced at the box in his hands, suddenly feeling a strange unease settle over me.

My fingers brushed the soft velvet, and I felt an inexplicable pull to open it.

But as I lifted the lid, I saw the ring, and it took every ounce of my willpower not to flinch.

It was beautiful—just like I remembered it.

The delicate band, the intricate design, the stones that seemed to shimmer with a faint, ethereal glow.
