Chapter 50
Smiles And Hidden Fangs
Alpha Kingsley POV
The hall remained lively, filled with laughter, clinking glasses, and forced pleasantries
But beneath it all… tension lingered and i could feel it.
Like something lurking just beneath the surface.
Waiting and watching.
I stood quietly, a glass in my hand, observing the movements of the Alphas around me. Some laughed too loudly. Others spoke in hushed tones, their eyes constantly scanning the room.
Most of them wore fake smiles and fawn looks that was both disgusting and repulsive. I hate social gatherings like this and all these two face bastards who were looking for opportunities to climb up the social ladder.
Most Alpha lords were already building teams and roping in Alphas into their circles.
I scoff at it.
All of it.
“Enjoying yourself?”
A familiar voice slipped in from behind.
Calm.
Mocking.
I didn’t need to turn to know who it was.
Alpha Damien.
I took a slow sip from my drink before glancing at him from the corner of my eye.
“You’re still here?” I said flatly.
A faint chuckle escaped him as he stepped beside me.
“I could say the same about you,” he replied. “I expected you to run if already…start prepping how to congratulate me/
I finally turned to face him fully.
He looked the same as always.
Smug
Confident
But his eyes…
Held something darker beneath the tonight de black roal
“I don’t waste time celebicating things that are afready mine.” I said udmily
His smile twitched Jour slightly

“Only the weak get blinded,” I replied without hesitation.
“In front of absolute power everything else bows and that includes you ” I added sharply. A frosty smile still on my face
For a moment, neither of us spoke
The noise of the hall faded into the background,
The space between us grew heavier.
Denser.
Argon shifted again.
“He’s hiding something, I can smell it.”
This time, I listened.
I narrowed my eyes slightly, studying Damien more closely.
Nothing seem unusual but I couldn’t help but feel uneasy around him.
It didn’t match the situation.
Interesting.
“You’ve been busy lately,” I said casually. “Meeting with elders. Whispering in corners.”
His gaze flickered but only for a fraction of a second.
“I didn’t know you cared so much about my schedule,” he replied smoothly.
“I don’t,” I said. “I just don’t like rats moving in the dark.”
That did it.
A flicker of anger crossed his face.
He clinched his fist tightly and slowly released.
Gone as quickly as it appeared.
But I saw it.
“I should be saying the same about you,” Damien said, his voke lowering. “You walk around like everything is already decidist. like the throne belongs to you.”
“It does.”
Silence.
Then he laughed “hahalia”
Low
Dangerous
“We’ll see,” he said.
Something in his tone slilitisk,
It wasn’t just rivalry anymore, I felt u warning

Before I could respond, Alpha Peter came by “why not go rally more support to achieve your wild ambitions” he taunted Damien
“Since when did lapdogs get to comment on politics” Damien retaliated.
“Atleast I choose a powerful master unlike some who are just soooo….” Peter mocked shamelessly.
Damien face grew red boiling in anger as he clinched his fist tightly almost drawing blood.
“You’re a disgrace to Lycan” he spat.
“Just you wait…” He throw out turning to leave.
“You need to be careful of that guy, something about him seem strange” Alpha peter warned as he faced me.
“Whatever” I raised my hands up.
“he do whatever he like and I will still crush him” I replied coldly.
