Chapter 4: Not Mine

"Alpha Dylan, Alpha Leonardo" Kaia, their second in command, bowed as she sashayed into their glass office with a huge pile of files in hand, her heels clinking as she walked across the tiled floor.

She huffed and plopped down on the couch with her hands crossed over her curvaceous breast, exposing more of her cleavage under her white button-up shirt, her legs crossed over each other in a natural but seductive pose.

Her head lolled to the back as she let out a sigh of relief. "Fuck! When are you two going to get a secretary? It's stressful working as your beta and secretary okay?" she complained with a pout "I have to handle your office work and also the pack work. I don't even have enough time to date, swears my scumbus side is starving for days!" she whined as she felt the growing need in her body for a release.

"Did you find any clue about where it is?" Dylan asked, his voice monotonous and strict, mirroring his expression as he gave Kaia a cold stare before returning to his work on the monitor.

Kaia shivered and sat straight, her impishness disappeared as she realised Dylan, the more playful of the two, was in a sore mood. She dared not look over to the other side where Leonardo's table was, afraid she'd wet her pants in fear, not like it was the first time that would happen.

Sometimes she wondered how she had grown and been assigned to be their second in command. Both of them terrify her.

"We couldn't find anything about its recent activities, the energy detection device has not caught any signal from it, there were traces of it here in Norway after Ruby's disappearance but we couldn't find its specific location in time before it finally disappeared three years ago" Kaia reported calmly as she separated the files according to the latest information.

"At first we thought the device was malfunctioning as there was no way the energy could just disappear so we asked for a repair and a service and then we found out nothing was wrong with the device, the energy disappeared" she added

"Keep looking" Dylan ordered "The blood moon is drawing close and we need to find it before then," he added before dismissing her without looking up from his work

"Excuse me Alpha," Kaia called, Dylan lifted his eyes from the monitor and his Purple eyes stared back into her soul sending cold arrows to her spine.

Her knees went weak and her hands trembled in fear. Cold sweat trickled down her back in waves and her wolf quivered in submission inside her.

Submission to the real Alpha.

'Fuck! It wasn't Dylan in control' she mumbled

She hadn't noticed it before as she was busy staring at the ceiling,

Dexter was.

Dexter, Dylan's wolf, was the real alpha amongst all four of them. Dylan, Leonardo, Jace and Dexter.

Contrary to its human's friendly and playful attitude, Dexter hates any type and form of disrespect and disorderliness, both of which she had showcased a few minutes ago.

She felt her soul tremble as his stare got deeper, colder and impatient

"If you have nothing else to say, you are dismissed Kaia" Dexter's deep voice echoed as he turned back to his work.

"The art piece Alpha Dylan ordered is here, where should it be hung?" She asked with a shaky voice

"In the dumpster, he'd pick it up when he is in control. I hate the smell of paint. Now leave, your presence here is a hindrance to productivity and you can go find something to do with that sinful aura around you?"

Kaia rushed out, her heart in her throat as closed the glass door behind her, she walked away from the glass office to a corner where she couldn't be seen before letting out a deep sigh of relief.

"Alpha Dexter is as terrifying as always. It's not a full moon yet why was it in control? Hmph, whose fault was it that I haven't fed my succubus lately?" she huffed and pointed her middle fingers towards the direction of the glass office.

Back in the office, Leonardo stood up trotting to the coffee table where the files were placed, he picked one and began looking through it.

"If you want your mate so badly why don't you just drive down to her house? Letting out your irritation on poor Kaia is just not fair Dexter"

"Whose fault is it that I can't go to her?" Dexter bites back angrily, glaring daggers at the amused Leonardo

"Not mine" Leonardo shrugged, picking another file to read before continuing with the conversation "On the other hand, why do you think we couldn't feel the energy anymore? Did someone possess it already?"

"Even if it was possessed by someone, its energy wouldn't disappear just like that. Have your trackers been able to locate Ruby? If we want my information about its location we need to find the person it was last seen with" Dexter replied

Massaging his nose bridge, Leonard rests his butt on Dylan's table "She disappeared on a plane to Switzerland from here in Norway and no traces of her have been seen since then. It was also around this time that "it" disappeared here in Norway. I think there is a connection between the two. I just can't pinpoint what it is. I've asked my men to keep looking for information about the occurrence in the Halton family that year, while also keeping an eye out in case Ruby contacted them, " he explained, fatigue daubing his voice.

"Do you think it's a coincidence that Eric's last daughter is mated to both of us?" Leonardo suddenly asked after a long stretched comfortable silence.

"I don't know. It's not rare for twin wolves to be mated to a single person. Do you think it's weird she's mated to us both? "

"No"

'But my intuition is telling there is more to it' he wanted to add but swallowed back as he went back into looking at the files.
