Chapter 46: Catching Up with Dennis

Draven.

After dinner, we moved to my home office. I led the way, pushing the door open as the coolness of the air conditioning brushed across my face.

The scent of brewed Americano lingered in the air, courtesy of the two cups already set on the low table by the staff. Two more were added shortly after.

We sat around the plush couches in the living area, which were cream and mahogany tones under the soft yellow light.

I took one of the single-seaters, leaving the other beside me vacant. Dennis and Jeffery shared the three-seater across from me, while Wanda took the loveseat to the side, crossing one leg over the other, always polished.

I took a long sip from my mug before I spoke. "We will continue the investigation, but it must remain discreet. No sudden movements that would alert Duskmoor’s council."

All three nodded in agreement.

Then, for the next ten minutes, I revealed the details of our next line of action, which they all supported,, before I moved on to passing a few instructions.

I turned to Jeffery. "Pass word to our people here: no one walks alone anymore, not at odd hours, not through empty streets. They must walk in pairs or groups. No exceptions."

Jeffery nodded solemnly. "Understood, Alpha."

"Also," I continued, "send out a message. Emergency gathering. Friday night. Ten sharp. Same place in the woods at East."

Jeffery gave another firm nod. "I will handle it tonight."

My gaze shifted to Dennis. "I want a complete, detailed list of all our people here. Every name, every address, every movement. I want to know where they sleep and where they hang out."

"I will get right to it," Dennis said.

With the instructions given, I picked a form from my desk and handed it to Jeffery. "Give this to Meredith tonight. I want it back by morning."

Jeffery took it without question and briefly glanced at it before meeting my gaze. "ID registration?"

I nodded. "It’s time she has her Duskmoor pass."

"I will pass it on. Have a good evening, Alpha." He said, then stood and left the office quietly.

Finally, Wanda rose from her seat next. "Good night, Draven. See you at breakfast tomorrow." Her voice was soft and polite. Then she turned to Dennis with a sweet smile. "Good night, Dennis." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Dennis didn’t reply to her as usual. He scoffed and merely watched her leave.

Once the door clicked shut behind her, Dennis scooted closer to me, settling comfortably into the empty side of the three-seater.

"You know, brother," he began, his tone teasing, "you went back to Stormveil for a Lunar Ball... and came back with a wife. Not just any wife. Her. The most hated woman in all of Stormveil. I mean, are we calling this fate now?"

I glanced at him briefly and said, "Yes. That’s fate."

Dennis scoffed. "You don’t expect me to buy that, do you? I’m not like the others."

I didn’t respond.

"Tell me more about her," he said, more seriously now. I knew he had been waiting for this opportunity to get more information about this topic from me. And there was no way he was going to let go after a strong grip.
