Kiara furrowed her eyebrows.
"Oh" Levi chuckled slightly.
"Why do you seem so surprised? You don't think I can do something like this?" Kiara rolled her eyes. "Don’t put words in my mouth, Levi. I'm just surprised and thank you but you didn't have to do this. This would cost a fortune. Maybe we should return it all back?’ Heather turned to Kiara with a gasp. "Kiara, Levi did this out of the Kindness of his heart. It's like a gift and you know you can't return gifts right?" Kiara pursed her lips and Levi let out a chuckle.
"Heather is right. It's a gift so you can't return it back and besides, It really didn't cost that much” Kiara scoffed then motioned towards their bags on the ground.
"Just this bag alone cost over a million dollars. Are you sure about this?" Levi nodded with a big smile. 3
"Pretty sure” It wasn't his money so he couldn't care less but he couldn't help but beat himself up internally for not beating Zane to this. He had to do something even better than this to be above him but what?
"Can I drive you girls home? I can even help you guys take this to your house’ Kiara raised an eyebrow.
"You're just looking for an excuse to see where I stay, aren't you?" Levi chuckled.
"Not necessarily but it would be nice and maybe I can even sit down for a glass of wine?” Kiara chuckled.
"Well if that's what you want then you can come with us but I'm only letting you know where we stay because you spent a lot on us today and we need the extra hand. Plus, what do you take us for, the Queen's children? We only have juices" Levi laughed then immediately helped them place the shopping bags into the car trunk but they were so many that they had to put some in the back seat as well.
Luckily, Heather was able to squeeze herself into the back seat and Kiara sat in the front seat.
He glanced at both of them, making sure they were okay before driving off.
Zane was busy signing some paperworks when his secretary requested to see him.
"Come in" She walked in and bowed her head at him.
"Good day, Alpha” Zane raised up his head from his papers to stare at her.
"Did you carry out the order I gave you?" She nodded.
“The owners of the stores just called and they said Kiara and Heather bought everything they wanted and have gone home" Zane nodded with a small smile.
"And did they make sure to give Kiara the specific ones I wanted?" She nodded.
"They said she even picked them out herself,’ Zane chuckled. He guessed her style hadn't changed. "Good. Is Alpha Brent around?" She nodded
"That's the sole reason I'm here, Alpha. Alpha Brent said he has something urgent to tell you. Beta Daniel and Gamma Liam are already there with him but he wants to talk to you" Zane nodded then stood up from his chair.
"Alright. Arrange these papers for me so I'll sign them when I get back” She bowed her head till he was out of her sight.
When he got to the Conference room, Everyone stood up and bowed their heads at him except Daniel and Liam because they were his left and right hand men.
Even though Zane was the youngest Alpha, he was the strongest and the most powerful. His pack was always on the front line when wolves were being attacked and they always came out victorious because of him so everyone respected him including Alpha's old enough to be his Father.
"Finally, you came for the meeting. You have been blowing us off lately, Alpha Zane" Alpha Brent commented casually. He didn't sound mad nor did he sound happy about the fact that Zane ignored them.
“I have a lot going on right now. I heard there was something important you wanted to talk about?" Brent nodded.
"Alpha Lincoln reached out to me weeks ago and said the members of his pack are being hunted down. Many of them have been killed and now a total lockdown has been put in place in his pack. Two days ago, Michael said the same thing as well and that they were being killed in the most gruesome way and their hearts are always missing” Zane furrowed his eyebrows. 1
"Their heart? Why would the hunter take their heart?" Brent shook his head.
“That, we are not sure of but the killings are getting worse and might actually spread through all the packs. He asked me to ask for your assistance because your warriors are far more stronger than his" Zane nodded then turned to Daniel. 1
"Have some of our strongest men go over there and protect them. While Liam, call Leo and tell him to investigate whatever's going on. I need answers immediately’ Zane couldn't help but scold himself. He had pushed away his Alpha duties because of all that has been happening with Kiara. “Til do that now" Daniel murmured then walked out of the room followed by Liam.
"Did Lincoln or Michael say anything about what or who they think might be doing this?" Brent shook his head
"All they said was that whoever did it or sold them out must be an Insider. It was like they were timed and when their guard was down, that's when they were struck down. It almost felt like they were being watched" Zane frowned. This was getting complicated.
"If the Killings continue, all pack wolves would have to return back to their packs till we figure out a way to stop this" Brent nodded in agreement.
As Zane walked back to his office, he couldn't help thinking about Kiara. Since he had banished her from the pack, would she be in danger?
He pulled out his phone and dialed Daniel's number.
"Have some of our men watch over Kiara in the meantime and they should be discreet. If she finds out, I'll kill them with my bare hands"...
