What happened at Silva's residence immediately spread to the entire pack. There was also a rumor that Bradley killed Adam, so the group's stance became divided.
Bradley remains calm and unbothered by everything happening, but not Leila. Since she is powerless, she cannot help in case of trouble, so this is one of her concerns.
"Bradley, go to the pack house and talk to everyone..." Leila suggested when she couldn't take it anymore. However, she does not know how big the problem is because her mother doesn't tell her everything. The two always talk in the office when she is asleep. "It's been three days since you talked to Ava and the Head council. In these three days, a lot has happened..."
Bradley smiled and pulled Leila into a tight hug. "I will go to the pack house tomorrow if you sleep with me tonight..." He responded with a cunning smirk on his face.
"Stop playing around... Your wound healed a long time ago, so there is no reason for me to accompany you to sleep—"
"Then no... I won't do anything," Bradley quickly declared.
Leila turned to Bradley, shock and disappointment in her eyes. 'What happened to this man? Where is the man who is dominant and has principles? She exclaimed in her mind.
"Don't look at me like that because it won't work..." Bradley asserted, seeing Leila's thoughts.
'I must make him go to the pack and fix everything for our baby's future! Leila reasoned to herself before releasing a sigh and saying. "Fine! I'll let you sleep with me tonight, but promise you will go to the pack house tomorrow to fix everything..."
"Deal!" Bradley retorted while nodding his head. Then he leaves Leila's embrace but remains to hold on to her shoulder. “Don't worry too much... All you have to do is take care of yourself because too much thinking is not suitable for you and our baby.”
"And lease you know it's not good for me to be stressed..." Leila murmured while pouting.

Meanwhile, a private plane landed at the airport in the Sapphire City with Alpha Connor and his pack on board.
"Beta Morgan, no matter what happens, you must succeed in your mission... We need to get our hands on Leila Aragon before another pack overtakes us," Alpha Connor firmly affirmed.
Morgan nodded. "Leila and I got along well during our stay at Sapphire, so she won't suspect me..."
"That's one of our advantages over others... The Silva family trusts us," Alpha Connor retorted with a sly grin.
The conversation between the two ended when they got out of the private plane; Alpha Zanjoe greeted them.
"Alpha Connor—"
“What are you doing here? I'm expecting Eunice, not a weakling alpha!” Alpha Connor speaks with indifference.
"Sorry for appearing unannounced, and I apologize if my strength is not up to your standard... But—"
"There is no but. The Paragon pack is the strongest on the entire continent, so someone like you is a shame, and Eunice knows that. That's why she still hasn't stopped approaching Bradley."
Zanjoe clenched his fists to suppress his emotions. He is the alpha of the Red Moon pack, yet here he is—mocked and belittled. However, this was not enough for him to give up on Eunice.
"Bradley Silva firmly rejected Eunice and the Paragon pack, so he is out of your option. Regardless, this is not the reason I greeted you today instead of Eunice..." Zanjoe replied with firmness.
"Then what do you want?" Beta Morgan asked when he saw the passing of worry in Zanjoe's eyes.
"It's Eunice... She is missing. Yesterday she went out to buy supplies, but she never returned," Zanjoe explained.
"Damn it! I already warned her to be careful!" Alpha Connor exclaimed furiously. Then he glared at Zanjoe. "Bring us to Eunice's house prepared for us while explaining everything that happened in the past few days!"
Along the way, Zanjoe recounts what happened between Eunice and Leila, even what happened at the festival—except for his involvement in the attempted abduction of Leila. Since it's a failure, Zanjoe leaves it because he knows he will be useless in the eyes of Alpha Connor when he finds out about his other loss.
"Alpha, wouldn't it be better if Leila lost her memory? It will also help our plan if Bradley's state is bad..." commented Morgan after Zanjoe finished talking.
But Alpha Connor keeps quiet, balancing possibilities before making a statement. "Has anyone seen the actual state of Bradley? Maybe it's just a trick for those who want to bring him down."
Zanjoe shuffled his head. "No. That night, I saw what had happened to him. Bradley's chest was torn out, and even his heart was damaged... In fact, with the gravity of his condition, he should have died..."
"Then is it true that Bradley dwells in their home? Therefore, the leader of the rogue hunt is the new Beta." Morgan nodded with joy.
"If that is the case, we will proceed with our plan..." Alpha Connor declared while clenching his fists.
Although his heart is full of regret for what happened to Bradley... The day he saw the latter, Connor saw his potential. So he followed Bradley's every move and made him heir to the Paragon pack by marrying him to Eunice. 'It's a waste of talent, but that is life... Regardless, I will make sure what happens to you will never occur to your offspring. That is why I will raise your child to be a ruler–just like the prophecy says...
"Alpha, what about Eunice? We should find her first—"
Alpha Connor glares and Zanjoe. "How about you find her... I'm giving you a chance to prove yourself. If you can find and secure Eunice, then I will give my blessing..."
Zanjoe's face immediately brightened; he didn't think twice and nodded one after another. "I will not lose this chance–"
"–Enough. I don't need to hear your promises and gratitude," Alpha Connor hissed before closing his eyes.
Just like Paragon, other packs are also preparing to attack Sapphire's pack house. Since everyone knows about the prophecy about the ruler, and every one of them is against it. They hated the idea of the ruler or the so-called King Alpha.
