Chapter 41: Chapter 41

ATLAS:

Our night was wonderfully peaceful and comfortable, with no confusion or problems surrounding us, I stayed awake for a long time watching over my female sleep, who slept like an angel.

Well, it just seems like it.

It's hard to believe that a great night would be followed by a rather troubled day.

Early in the morning, even before sunrise, my cell phone rang, it was the commander of investigations informing me that they had found a very important clue about the murder of those poor innocent people.

I didn't think twice before jumping out of bed, putting on the first clothes I found along the way, and almost running out of the house, of course before leaving I woke up my partner (with great regret as she was sleeping so well) and informed her where would you go.

Mel wanted to go along, but I imposed myself, claiming that it would be better to take care of it myself and that she should rest a little longer.

As if she would hear me...

We were checking the clue, which in this case was a small but very important strand of hair, with just that little strand we could find out who the killer of those people is and finally find out who their superior is, because I am quite sure that this killer is not the head of everything, there is someone much bigger behind it.

A maximum of half an hour had passed since I arrived, and it was at that exact moment that the door was suddenly opened, we were ready to attack the individual when I realized who it was, it can be said that the blonde hair had denounced her.

Mel was formally dressed, her posture one of determination and confidence. I should have known that stubborn one wouldn't take so long to show up.

— Gentlemen, sorry to interrupt, I was a little late but I'm here now— he says positioning himself next to me, and then I put one of my arms possessively around his waist.

— No problem dear, sit down, you'll be more comfortable— I say pointing to my chair, and when she was about to open her mouth to refuse I'm quicker to say softly in her ear so that only she can hear— I wouldn't get out of that Starlet chair, that outfit of yours is too tight, I don't want other males looking at what's mine— I snarl the last words.

Rolling her eyes she does as I politely ask and we can finally continue our search for information.

We quickly sent that wire to the laboratory, being informed that by the end of the afternoon, the exam would already be in our hands.

I pay close attention to everyone's expressions, taking a little longer to see Albert's, he's a little restless, he doesn't stop fidgeting nervously with his ring and that's somehow very suspicious.

I'm pulled out of my observations when everyone starts to leave to do their respective duties, it's just me and my princess in the room, she's very concentrated on reading some reports.

A great leader.

— Stop staring at me! Don't you know it's rude to stare at others?— he asks ironically and doesn't even bother to look up at me.

— If you were "the others", you would be, but since you're not— I laughed internally when I saw her deadly gaze in my direction, I finally had her attention.

— Very funny, wow, I'm dying of laughter— he rolls his eyes, looking back at the blessed papers.

I move until I'm kneeling beside her, I'm feeling kind of abandoned.

I turn into a wolf placing my head in his lap, his fingers involuntarily begin to caress me, the feeling is so good that I let myself be carried away by his caresses, I close my eyes and enjoy the moment.

— I don't think I'll have time to go to the doctor's office today— she says sighing as she turns her beautiful eyes to me.

I mentally give an evil chuckle, I think this day isn't so troubled anymore until it's nice.

Atlas one, Doctor draws zero fuck.

I'm not so worried about my princess going to the office since the probability of her finding out is almost minimal, the only person, apart from me, who knows about my plans is the girl who works there and she certainly wouldn't want to give it away. with tongue on teeth. So the problem itself is that she continues to take those blessed pills, if I could I would throw them all away myself.

Maybe if I came up with another plan...

— Hey watch me you fat lazy wolf— Mel gives me a slight push bringing me back to reality.

A female who can't see me still!

I shift again, but I remain with my head in her lap.

— I was listening love— I say closing my eyes feeling sleepy from his caresses.

— Did you know that it looks even more beautiful this way?— I look up at her a little confused.

— Like my princess?— I say and I know I just frowned.

— In that sleepy way, all sly and affectionate, it doesn't even look like that ogre that scares people with just one look, it's even cuter that way— I couldn't help but laugh at his statement.

— Do you think I'm getting soft? That's not what I show you in bed— I say smugly seeing her face acquire a reddish hue— look she's blushing— I say teasing even more and in return, I receive a pat on her arm.

It doesn't even tickle.

— And the ogre was present again— he grumbles, returning to pay attention to the papers.

— Better "ogre" than "cute"— I finally say, and end up hitting my head against the leather of the chair when Mel suddenly gets up going towards the shelf where she is analyzing some books.

The stubborn one did it on purpose!

— Is there anyone you think could be blamed for the deaths?— catches me off guard by asking this question.

— Worse than yes— I sigh heavily as I sit in the place she was just sitting— I think Albert has a hand in that.

— Your Beta?— He turns towards me and I see there isn't even an ounce of surprise in his gaze.

— Himself, the way he's been behaving is a bit suspicious. Well, I know we're not supposed to judge by appearances, but everything is pointing to it being him— There was silence after that, I think she was trying to digest the information.

— I agree with what you said about his behavior, but why would he do that?— I think your question is more for yourself than for me.

— That only he can answer if he is guilty of course— I bring the matter to an end, but I know the question will keep hammering in that pretty little head.

Some hours later...

I'm reading some papers when the guy who was going to bring the exam results appears at the door followed by the Alphas who were here early in the morning, asks permission to enter, and then hands me the envelope which contains all the information we were waiting for.

The boy leaves and in the room, it's just me, my princess (whom I insisted on sitting in my chair again), the other Alphas, and Philip who is the most affected by all this.

I look around noticing something I already had in mind, Albert is not present, probably at this time he should already be running away, I shrug as I open a sideways smile.

I love to hunt my enemies.

I open the envelope and see that everyone is apprehensive, paying attention to my every reaction, I think they still haven't realized the obvious, only Mel who is looking at me understandingly.

I run my eyes over the papers reading carefully, and now there's no denying it anymore.

I lift my eyes looking towards my princess, she silently understands what I mean.

Albert is to blame!

I hand the papers to one of the Alphas who was next to me and he quickly reads the contents, when he finishes he raises a shocked look in my direction, but then he passes the papers to the Alpha beside him, still in his numb state.

Everyone had a similar reaction, they are silent for a while still digesting everything they just learned. I drip trying to get attention.

— We have to go after the enemy, and consequently who gives the orders— I say in a serious tone.

— Of course, Supreme my kingdom will recruit the best soldiers for this being...— says one of the Alphas, but I interrupt him.

— I will send the best soldiers we have, that is, the ones from here, and I insist on leading this search myself— I speak decisively and I can see the astonishment in the eyes of each one present, I just can't decipher the look of my princess.

Did she get mad?

Unknown:

That idiot called me saying that by this time he must have been discovered and that he had to get out of there as quickly as possible, going to the hideout.

This wasn't supposed to be happening, at no point did I ask this nerd to kill people, but he disobeyed me, and look what happened, the situation got out of control.

The only thing I wanted from the beginning was justice, I never at any time wanted to bring unnecessary deaths mainly to innocent people.

And I didn't expect all of this that's been going on, I didn't expect that my thoughts on this would take a huge turn.

I sigh heavily as I look at the forest in front of me, and only one thought comes to mind.

They will never forgive me...
