Zane was asleep but I wasn’t. I was on my phone desperately waiting for Jackson’s message so I could know when everything would be ready. This was a moment that I was desperately eager for. I was desperately waiting for good news,
As I kept staring at my phone, a message popped up on the screen of my phone and I immediately opened it. It was a message from Jackson stating that he was back to the pack, and was getting everything ready. I took a deep breath in and turned off my phone so I could sleep in peace but another notification popped up from Jackson,
I opened it and read silently,
“Don’t forget the deal. My sister’s needs the treatment urgently, and it’s 200 million dollars. I really hope you’d keep to your promise, thank you.
I bit my lower lips. There was no way I could avoid this no matter what. Jackson was giving me the greatest thing… what would end all my problems and the only thing I had to do was pay up and fulfill my own parts of the deal.
“The money would be ready tomorrow and the hospital bills taken care of as well. I made a promise and as long as you get it ready, then I’ll have mine ready too. I need an insider in the Blood Moon Pack. Try as much as you can to find one because that’s the only way to be sure it actually worked like we expected. That’s the only way to be certain of Katherine’s demise.”
After I turned off my phone, I laid down close to Zane and covered myself with the duvet. I had no idea what the hell Zane was doing at the bar earlier, but something was not right. If Zane was trying to find out about what happened months ago, then I needed to be ready.
I thought about the 200 million dollars that I had to raise before tomorrow. It would be impossible to raise that without Zane’s help, but what the hell would I tell him in order to get the money.
An idea suddenly popped up in my head as I kept staring at Zane. If there was one thing I knew that Zane wanted so bad, it was to help kids. I wouldn’t be lying after all because the money was meant for the cause as well. It just had to be the only way out. The only way to get exactly what I wanted from Zane without him suspecting me.
It took me so much effort to finally say what I wanted. I wrapped my arms around Zane’s waist, swallowing a lump of saliva as I uttered, “Can I get 200 million dollars?”
I could see the shocked expression on his face immediately after I said this.
“It’s for something important. It’s for a good cause Zane, I promise. I do have about 50 million dollars, but that’s nowhere enough, and right now it’s just you.”
“May I know what it’s for?”
“I finally found a cause, Zane. Helping children and poor babies. Since I lost mine, it’s been so hard for me. I try so hard not to think about it, but that’s all I can do. I really don’t want to watch a child die under my watch when I might be able to do something. Something, no matter how little.” I paused for a few seconds staring at his eyes so I could read the expression on his face. He was keenly listening to me,
“Besides, this could help the pack, Zane. The fame, I think it’ll help other wolves out there rely more on their Alpha. I’m just trying to do what’s best for us and the pack. When we finally have a child, he/she will be the love of the entire pack. Respected, cared for, loved. That’s all that matters.”
When I was done, Zane was still silent.
“Are you serious?
