Chapter 22 Morpheus’s POV-2

I had been perplexed and stared at my phone, which was turned off. He had just hung up the phone in my face without even saying goodbye.

What was going on? Why doesn't he want to tell me? Our fathers were very close to each other when we were children, so we spent most of our time together. But that was a long time ago. The last time we met was when my sister was in trouble, and he rescued her. We never saw each other after losing his Alpha. We'd heard the rumours about how Alpha James took over Blue Moon Pack in a duel and he had demanded respect from the Pack members. He had given them two options: either they would join his pack or become rogues.

I did even hear a single word from him till just before the bidding. He called just a few days before the tender and asked for help for his nephew. I did even not know that he had a nephew. I knew he had an older sister, but I had no idea she had a son. However, it was not necessary to think too hard to realize that this young man possessed something unique.

His gaze drew my attention the first time I saw him on screen. He could not be focused at first, as if he had terrible pain and was biting his lower lip with his teeth to suppress the pain. The agony in his eyes was replaced by deep darkness when he understood he had been sold to the Shadow Pack. His irises darkened. He raised his head and looked me in the eyes, then shook his head, and just as he was about to say something, he was hurriedly taken off the stage by the guards who came to the stage. Scuffles could be heard in the distance, but the voices faded quickly. I think he tried to resist the guards.

Now that I think about it, he had not acted like a servant at all. The servants were all omega descendants, and their personalities were based on obedience. However, this boy was disobedient. He had a strong self-confidence. He had not behaved like a crushed person, on the contrary, he had behaved towards fighting and defending his right. This boy was more than what Connor explained to me. I decided to continue to investigate who he is as my Alpha told me.

Connor's POV

I was speechless in front of my best friend. He was my best friend. I needed to process this information and was trying to figure out what was going on. I asked the barber to investigate why Shadow Pack had developed an interest in Adrian. Adrian must be saved. At the very least, I owe his parents this. I, on the other hand, have nothing in my hand to defend him. I attempted multiple times during the last two years to contact him, but I was only disappointed.

Morpheus has the right to ask. But I couldn't tell him that Adrian would be my Pack's future Alpha. Everyone knows that he is dead, even most of his own pack members. Few people are aware that he is still alive. This was a decision I made to keep him safe. But I don't feel comfortable not telling Morpheus the truth.

Adrian's family died that day while he was on the duel field. He was watching the duel with his mother. When Luna realized that her mate was dead, she could not stand it and gave her life. Adrian was in shock. I saw Adrian, I was close to them and tried to reach him. Alpha James' wolves surrounded him before he had a chance to react.

At that moment I had to make an important decision. Either we would fight to help him, in which case we would all be dead for sure. Or I should have kept quiet and hoped that his life would be spared by not engaging him in a war. I didn't care if I died, but my pack needed the Alpha to survive. So, even though I didn't want to, I applied the second option and prayed that they wouldn't kill him.

They realized that he did not have his own wolf. Therefore, Alpha James gave an order to his wolfs to not kill him instead they covered the field by hiding him. I stayed back and kept a close eye on what was going on. They shackled him, he was shocked and confused. He did not even protest. I saw them throw him into the car and drive him to their Pack from the back of the field without showing him to anyone. Alpha James has announced that Adrian was dead. Then we all joined the Darkness Moon Pack.
