Chapter 569-2
But there wasn’t much to say.
They had killed another of my own.
I turned toward the door.
“We’re going to find out who did this.”
As I left, a part of me felt responsible for what happened.
BLOOD CRESCENT
ALEXANDER
I had been back at the pack house for some time before I realized I hadn’t seen Faye yet.
I was sitting in the living room, going through a few things on my phone, when the thought suddenly crossed my mind. Since returning, I hadn’t seen her once. It was unusual enough that I found myself looking toward the stairs for a moment, almost expecting her to appear.
When she didn’t, I picked up my phone and called her.
She answered after a few rings.
“Where are you?” I asked.
“I’m in Irene’s room,” Faye said. “Are you back?”
“Yes, I came in a while ago.”
I said it as I glanced toward the direction of the staircase again.
“I’ll join you soon,” she said.
“Alright.”
The call ended, and I placed my phone back on the table.
“Martha,” I called.
It didn’t take long before she appeared.
“Welcome back, Alpha.”
I nodded, “Thank you. Bring me a glass of water.”
“Of course”
She turned to leave, but after a few steps, she paused and looked back
“Would you like your lunch served?”
I almost asked her when was the last time she had seen me have lunch at this time of the day,
I shook my head, “No. Just water, please.”
She nodded before leaving.
The quiet didn’t last long
The door opened a few minutes later, and Cole walked in. He didn’t say anything at first. He simply walked over and sat across from me.
For a while, we both stayed occupied with our phones.
Then Cole suddenly looked up. The expression on his face changed as if he had remembered something important.
“Alexander,” he said.
I looked up at him.
He stared at me seriously. “Is there some kind of dress code for the family date tomorrow?”
For a moment, I said nothing.
Then I laughed.
It was obvious he was trying to be funny.
Cole, however, did not laugh.
“I am being serious,” he said.
I looked at him. “No, you are not.”
“I am.”
I shook my head. “If you were actually serious, you would be asking the person who invited
you, not me.”

Cole sighed. “Well… I thought you might know.”
Before I could answer, Martha returned with the water and placed it on the table.
“Thank you,” I said.
She left the room.
Cole looked at me again but said nothing.
“Are you going to say what’s actually on your mind?” I asked. “Or are you just going to sit there and pretend to be concerned about some dress code?” I added.
Cole sighed. “The thing is, I was supposed to have a date with Anna tomorrow.”
I raised an eyebrow. “And?”
“And now Helen called. I don’t even know where to begin.”
I looked at him for a moment.
“It is simple. Bring Anna with you.”
His reaction was immediate.
Before I could even reach for my glass, he grabbed it from the table and drank the entire thing.
I stared at him.
He placed the empty glass back down.
“No, thank you,” he said.
I looked at the glass, then at him.

He looked at me like I had suggested something unreasonable.
“How can you ask me to go with Anna?”
I frowned, “Why not? She’s your mate, isn’t she?”
Cole sighed,
“It’s Helen.”
I waited for him to continue.
“You know how she is,” Cole said.
I did.
Everyone did.
“Helen has a problem with everyone and everything.”
I smirked.
“What if she doesn’t approve of Anna?”
