Chapter Twelve

Alpha Max reluctantly agreed to follow Anna to the waiting doctor after she had threatened him. The doctor swiftly collected blood samples and a semen sample from Max.

“I will take these samples back to my lab for analysis. In a week, I will return with the results.” The doctor announced.

“Thank you, Dr. Abel. My husband and I appreciate your assistance and eagerly anticipate your return next week,” Luna Anna responded

Alpha Max nodded respectfully to the doctor before excusing himself. He proceeded to his office, where Beta Drake awaited him with another gentleman.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting," he said as he entered the office.

"No problem, Alpha Max. We didn't wait long. This is Fred, a wealthy businessman from the human world who is willing to help us," Beta Drake informed.

"Good day, Fred. I'm Alpha Max. It's a pleasure to meet you," Alpha Max greeted, extending his hand for a handshake.

"The pleasure is all mine, Alpha. It's nice to meet you too," Fred responded, warmly shaking Alpha Max's hand.

"I'm certain my assistant has filled you in on the current situation," Alpha Max mentioned as he walked over to his shelf, retrieved a bottle of wine and three glasses, and proceeded to pour them each a drink.

"Yes, Alpha, that's precisely why I'm here—to discuss the terms of our business arrangement. I run a business and have a team at my disposal that can assist you in achieving your goals. However, this assistance comes at a cost. I'm not sure if you're willing to meet that price," Fred stated, taking a sip of wine.

"Tell me your price. I am willing to do anything to rid myself of Edward and Anna," Alpha Max declared.

Fred grinned slyly and stated, "I want you to give me power and access to over half of the Blue Blood Pack.”

"What? That's an outrageous demand," Beta Drake exclaimed.

"That is my offer. Take it or leave it. The choice is yours to make," Fred stated firmly.

"I agree to your terms," Alpha Max replied.

"Alpha!" Beta Drake exclaimed, astonished that Alpha Max agreed to Fred's terms without hesitation.

“Yes, Drake,” Alpha Max answered.

“Can I have a private moment with you?” Beta Drake asked.

“Yes, of course,” Alpha Max replied.

“Please, excuse us,” Beta Drake said to Fred as he and Alpha Max stepped outside to talk.

"That is a ridiculous price, Alpha Max. Authority over half of the Blue Blood pack? What does he want to do with it?” Beta Drake inquired.

"You brought him here for the job. I trust that you believe he is the best man for it," Alpha Max remarked.

"Yes, I did thorough research, made some calls, and received a recommendation from a trusted source. He manages a nightlife business in his city and controls a large number of gangsters. Additionally, he assists influential individuals in carrying out illicit tasks and cleans up their mess," Beta Drake elaborated.

"He seems like the right person for the job. I have no intention of giving him half of my Pack. I'm just playing along with him to get what I want," Alpha Max explained.

“After we get what we want, what are we going to do with him,” Beta Drake asked.

“Get rid of him,” Alpha Max said.

“Will that be possible? Considering the kind of a person he is?” Beta Drake questioned as Alpha Max's idea seemed impossible.

Alpha Max chuckled, “Once Edward Carnell is out of the way, I will have complete control and dominance over this Pack. Getting rid of a mere human would be easy for me”

“I want us to think twice about this, Alpha Max, so that we would not be creating another problem for ourselves,” Beta Drake warned.

“Do not worry, Drake, trust me on this one. Let us take out Edward first, my life is in danger right now. I might die anytime soon or something worse happens to me,” Alpha Max said.

"Is the situation that serious?" Beta Drake inquired.

“You don't know Anna and her father as much as I do. Anna threatened my life this morning before I came here, she told me she sent her bodyguard after Rosana to kill her,” Alpha Max revealed.

“What the hell? Why?” Beta Drake burst out.

"I can't afford to delay this any longer. I must act quickly, so let's play along with Fred," Alpha Max proposed.

“Alright, Alpha Max. Be rest assured, I've got you. I will monitor Fred closely, identify his vulnerabilities, and strategize on how to defeat him," Beta Drake pledged.

"Good to hear, Drake," Alpha Max remarked, giving him a pat on the shoulder as they returned to the office. 

“I agree to your terms, Fred. I will give you power and authority over half of my pack,” Alpha Max stated.

"Alpha Max, we have a deal," Fred said, a smile spreading across his face as he presented a contract for Alpha Max to sign. 

Alpha Max reached for his pen to sign the deal, but before he could, Fred abruptly halted him.

"Are you not going to review the contents of the contract?" Fred asked.

"There's no need for that, Fred. This is just a formality; we've both agreed on the terms," Alpha Max stated as he signed the contract.

"What a fool," Fred muttered to himself as he watched Alpha Max sign the contract.

"When do you start?" Alpha Max inquired as he handed the signed contract back to Fred.

"I've already started," Fred replied, placing the contract back in the folder bag in his hand.

“I must warn you, Fred, Edward Carnell is a very dangerous man. He had eyes and ears everywhere both here and in the human world. You have to be very careful so you don't get caught. I do not want this being traced back to me,” Alpha Max warned.

“You have nothing to worry about, this would never be linked to you in any way, " Fred promised.

“Please, Fred. I do not want to end up like the former Alpha who was banished from here,” Alpha Max said.

“Yeah, I heard the story of the Alpha who went nuts, does Edward have anything to do with that?” Fred inquired.

“Edward has everything to do with it…..” Alpha Max said, his voice trailing off as he spoke.
