Chapter 392: Lance Wants to Avenge Griffin?

(Author’s POV)

Meeting Amelia’s sharp gaze, Theodore could not help but laugh out loud. The deep sound of his laughter

echoed warmly in the spacious office.

He readily admitted that he certainly heard about the third injured person at the explosion scene. There

was no point in hiding his excellent intelligence network from her.

Amelia looked at him with a very serious and unyielding expression. She placed her hands flat on the

glass coffee table.

“Did you already know exactly who the backer behind the Drake Pack is?” she asked directly. She leaned

forward, her sapphire blue eyes narrowing slightly in suspicion.

“Are you keeping this from me because you are hiding something else?” Amelia demanded softly. She

needed absolute transparency from the powerful Alpha sitting across from her.

Theodore saw her taking the initiative to bring up this highly sensitive topic. He let out a helpless but

incredibly doting sigh.

The harsh lines of his handsome face softened completely. “I did not intentionally hide it from you,

Amelia,” Theodore explained gently.

He pushed his wheelchair slightly closer to the edge of the table. “I simply felt there was no need for you to worry about my pack’s affairs,” he added.

Amelia frowned slightly at his protective but dismissive words. She did not like being treated like a fragile

flower.

“What exactly does that mean?” she pressed him further. Theodore leaned back in his comfortable

wheelchair and looked at her calmly.”

His intense golden eyes locked onto her beautiful face. “Griffin has suffered repeated devastating

setbacks at your hands recently,” Theodore explained smoothly.

“He absolutely could not resist sending people to thoroughly investigate your background.” Theodore’s

golden eyes glinted with a sharp, calculating light.

“He wanted to confirm if you had an incredibly powerful backer supporting you,” he continued. “Since he

could not find anything concrete, Griffin naturally made an assumption.”

Theodore smiled a cold, mocking smile at their enemy’s foolishness. “He believes everything you have done has the tacit approval of the Crimson Moon Pack.”

“He might even believe our pack is directly participating in your schemes.” Theodore finished his

explanation with a confident shrug of his broad shoulders.

Amelia instantly understood the flawless logic hidden within his careful words. Her brilliant mind quickly

processed the dangerous implications.

“In order to bring down the Crimson Moon Pack, Griffin will definitely use outside power,” she said. “He will

absolutely rely on the immense strength of that big shot behind him.”

Amelia looked deeply into Theodore’s intense golden eyes. “This means that big shot will definitely cause

severe trouble for the Crimson Moon Pack very soon,” she concluded.

Theodore nodded his head slowly, frankly admitting to her accurate assessment. He did not show a single

ounce of fear or hesitation.

“As my soon–to–be marked mate, your every word and action is tied perfectly to the Crimson Pack,” he

stated proudly. He reached out across the table and firmly grasped her slender hand.

His large, warm palm completely enveloped her delicate fingers. “But I am completely confident that I have ways to solve this incoming trouble,” he assured her.

Facing this complicated and highly dangerous situation, Amelia tilted her head slightly. A playful smirk appeared on her beautiful lips.

“Do you regret choosing a trouble–making woman like me as your mate?” she asked in a half–joking tone.

Theodore did not laugh at her probing question.

He gently pulled her hand and placed it directly over his broad, muscular chest. “Do you clearly

understand my true heart?” Theodore asked her in return.

Amelia felt the steady, powerful beating of his heart beneath her palm. The rhythmic thumping sent a

strange warmth spreading through her veins.

She looked at his handsome face and spoke with absolute honesty. “I believe you are completely sincerè

right now,” Amelia admitted softly.

She did not doubt his current feelings for her. “But people are always incredibly good at pretending.”

She slowly pulled her hand back from his warm chest. She maintained her usual calm and guarded

demeanor.

“The only reason I dare to believe you is because I possess absolute confidence,” she stated firmly. “I have

the ultimate confidence to simply walk away at any given time.”

Amelia’s voice was completely steady and devoid of any fear. Theodore did not say another word in

response to her bold declaration.

He simply reached forward and pulled her directly into his strong arms. He ignored the armrests of his

wheelchair and brought her close.

He lowered his head and captured her lips in a deep, passionate kiss. He effectively stopped whatever

words she was going to say next.

The kiss was demanding but filled with undeniable affection. Inside Amelia’s mind, her silver wolf Ava let

out a deeply satisfied whimper.

The beautiful wolf wagged her tail happily in the mental space. She was clearly extremely pleased by the

powerful Alpha’s intimate closeness.

After this intense and breathless kiss finally ended, Theodore slowly pulled back. He looked down at her

flushed face and let out a soft sigh.

“You are simply too rational, Amelia,” Theodore murmured quietly. His words instantly triggered a sudden, unpleasant memory in Amelia’s mind.

This strongly reminded her of her ex–mate, Damien Blackwood. Damien had also evaluated her in this

exact same way in the past.

He always acted as if absolutely nothing in this world could ever hurt her. He thought her heart was made

of solid ice.

Amelia silently asked herself a difficult question in her heart. If Theodore proposed breaking their mate

bond in the future, would she be hurt?

She honestly was not entirely sure of the answer. She stared blankly at Theodore’s expensive shirt collar.

She might be able to pull herself together very quickly after a rejection. Her survival instincts would

definitely kick in immediately.

However, that did not mean her heart would not ache deeply. It would feel just like the painful damage caused by her biological parents‘ endless coldness.

That kind of lingering pain was something she knew all too well. Amelia firmly pushed Theodore’s broad chest, creating some safe distance between them.

“With my past upbringing, I cannot help but remain completely rational,” she stated coldly. She smoothed

down the invisible wrinkles on her clothes.

She shot him a sharp, warning glare. “Do not try to make me show weakness to you,” she warned him

strictly.

Theodore did not push the issue any further at that moment. He respected her boundaries and gave her

the space she demanded.

They both moved to the dining table and began to enjoy their prepared lunch. The kitchen staff had

prepared delicious portions of perfectly roasted venison ribs.

They also had large bowls of fresh green salad dressed in light vinaigrette. During the entire meal, Theodore kept his golden eyes silently fixed on her face.

He watched the way she elegantly cut her venison ribs. After they finished eating, Theodore finally

decided to speak up again.

“I do not want to force you to show weakness, Amelia,” he explained gently. He placed his silver fork down

onto his empty ceramic plate.

He looked at her with an expression full of deep, genuine affection. “My heart simply aches because you

always prepare for the absolute worst to defend against pain,” he said.

He reached across the table and lightly touched her hand again. “You can actually be scared, and you can definitely be hurt,” he pointed out softly.

“You simply force yourself not to show any vulnerability or need for others.” Theodore’s voice was

incredibly tender and understanding.

Having her deepest inner thoughts exposed so accurately made Amelia feel slightly awkward. She felt a

sudden wave of embarrassment and sharp annoyance wash over her.

She did not like feeling so incredibly transparent. She quickly grabbed a white cloth napkin from the wooden dining table.

She crumpled it up tightly in her hand. She threw it directly at Theodore’s handsome face in a fit of playful

anger.

“You are also hiding the matter of Griffin’s backer from me!” she accused him loudly. Theodore easily caught the flying napkin in mid–air and laughed out loud.

His golden eyes sparkled with pure amusement. He quickly spoke soft, soothing words to comfort her

rising temper.

He deliberately stopped continuing this heavy, emotional topic of conversation. He knew exactly when to push and when to retreat.

Amelia let out a small huff and turned her attention back to her medical duties. She walked over to the

glass coffee table and opened her medical box.

She carefully took out a bundle of faintly glowing moonlight herbs. The magical herbs emitted a soft, calming silver light in the bright office.

She then arranged her specialized medical tools neatly on the clean table. She slowly began to administer treatment to Theodore’s entirely senseless legs.

She expertly applied the crushed moonlight herbs to his damaged nerves. As she worked, she occasionally glanced up at Theodore’s perfect, handsome face.

He was watching her hands with quiet fascination. The corners of her delicate mouth turned up slightly into a genuine smile.

The annoyance from earlier completely vanished from her heart. She thought to herself in the quietness of her own mind.

This might be the exact reason why she truly liked Theodore so much. He always proactively guided her thoughts in a positive direction.

He never let her bottle up negative emotions tightly inside her heart.

Meanwhile, inside a highly secure and sterile hospital room in Northgate City. A nervous subordinate

stood rigidly at the foot of a pristine white bed.

The room smelled strongly of harsh chemical antiseptics. He quietly reported to Griffin that Lucas had

already successfully boarded a plane.

The discarded pawn was currently fleeing far away to a foreign country. Griffin lay completely still on the

elevated hospital bed.

His originally dangerous and striking handsome face was now tightly wrapped in thick medical bandages.

Only a pair of gloomy, furious grey eyes were left exposed to the world.

Those cold eyes constantly radiated a biting, terrifying coldness. He burned with an intense, consuming anger deep within his chest.

The pain from his severe burns only fueled his burning hatred. He never expected that Lucas, a pathetic discarded pawn, would actually dare to bite back.

Griffin’s raspy voice was as cold and sharp as solid ice. “Issue a global kill order immediately,” Griffin commanded ruthlessly.

He did not care about the massive cost or the effort required. He ordered his loyal men to find Lucas no

matter how long it took.

After receiving the deadly command, the terrified subordinate quickly bowed and left the room. A moment later, the heavy door opened again.

His cousin Lance walked casually inside the quiet hospital room. Lance stood by the bed and carefully

looked at Griffin’s heavily bombed face.

“Who was bold enough to act against you at the Royal Bowling Alley?” Lance asked curiously. Griffin sneered viciously beneath his thick layers of white bandages.

He knew perfectly well that Lucas would never dare to do this alone. Even if Lucas betrayed him, the coward lacked the necessary brains.

He quickly concluded that Amelia must be the one manipulating things behind the scenes. Lance carefully observed the dark, hateful expression in Griffin’s grey eyes.

He very quickly deduced that this explosive incident was Amelia’s doing once again. His mind immediately connected this event to their family’s other recent disasters.

He thought of the massive lawsuit crisis currently destroying the Night City entertainment venue. He also remembered how their powerful grandmother Octavia had just been arrested.

All of these terrible things were directly related to this one particular woman. Lance looked down at his severely injured cousin lying on the bed.

A deeply cruel and twisted smile slowly curled his lips. He leaned forward slightly and eagerly volunteered his services to the pack heir.

“Griffin, does this Amelia give you a headache?” Lance asked smoothly. “You just rest and recover for now. Let me deal with this woman, alright?”
