With a spring in his step, Alpha Kilian entered Nelly 's room.
A gentle light illuminated the room, and Nelly was lying on the bed. Alpha Kilian had his eyes fixed on her. Unbuttoning his shirt with one hand, he made his way toward her.
It was only when he walked up to her that he discovered she had fallen asleep. Huh?
Alpha Kilian was confused for a moment.
His expression then immediately changed as he stared at her. A smirk crept up on his face, and he bent over toward her body. He showered her with kisses and gently caressed her body as the sexual tension in the room increased.
Nevertheless, there was no reaction from Nelly to his actions. She was still lying on the bed, breathing steadily as if she was sound asleep.
Alpha Kilian furrowed his brows. He finally came to realize that she was not pretending to be asleep. A trace of helplessness flashed across his face. “Nelly ? Nelly ?” he called, trying to wake Nelly up. Still, there was no response from her.
Alpha Kilian refused to give up. He lowered his gaze and started planting kisses on different parts of her body.
Despite his passionate kisses, Nelly did not move an inch, as though she was dead asleep.
Alpha Kilian fixed his gaze on her, seemingly waiting for her response but to no avail. After a moment, he finally gave up and heaved a deep sigh before lying beside her.
At this point, he would seem like a piece of trash if he insisted on doing something with her. After finally calming himself down, Alpha Kilian gazed at Nelly with a smile blooming on his face.
To him, she was like Sleeping Beauty from the fairytale when she was asleep.
Nelly had finely chiseled features with brows and a nose that looked like there were sculpted by a master sculptor. At the moment, she was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Her long lashes cast shadows under her eyes, further enhancing her innocence.
Staring at her, the look in Alpha Kilian 's eyes softened. The thought of Nelly belonging to him filled his heart with warmth.
He was warmed and delighted by her existence.
Right then, a deafening sound echoed from outside the house.
Alpha Kilian got up to his feet when he realized something was off and darted toward the window. In the distance, fiery flames were lighting up the sky.
Staring in that direction, Alpha Kilian had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. At that moment, the headlights of the car downstairs suddenly lit up.
No one would leave the house at this time except Dave.
Alpha Kilian glanced at Nelly , who was still sound asleep. With o spring in his step, Alpha Kilian entered Nelly 's room.
Then, he took his phone with him and darted out of the room.
Alpha Kilian called Dave in the corridor, and the latter instantly picked up the call. “Where are you going?” Alpha Kilian asked.
“You're still awake?” Dave threw the question back at him. “Yes,” Alpha Kilian replied.
“Something came up, so I need to head out,” Dave explained.
Alpha Kilian pursed his lips when he heard Dave's explanation. “Wait for me. I'm going down now,” he ordered.
“Sure.”
After hanging up the phone, Alpha Kilian pondered for a moment before entering the room again to check on Nelly . Only after seeing she was still asleep was he relieved. He then turned to leave.
Outside, Dave was leaning languidly on the car with a cigarette in between his fingers. His figure elicited a mysterious aura in the dark.
Seeing Alpha Kilian walk over toward him, Dave teased, “What happened? I didn't think you'd notice me this late at night.”
Alpha Kilian walked right up to him and asked, “I saw the bright flames over there. What's going on?” Dave pressed his lips together when he heard Alpha Kilian 's question.
“Did something happen at the headquarters?” Alpha Kilian continued to ask.
It was only then Dave broke his silence, “No. It's just one of our bases. I was informed a moment ago that a few of our men were injured.”
“Is it Boss?” Alpha Kilian questioned.
“I don't know. We can only know when we get there.” Dave shrugged. With that, Alpha Kilian walked past him and got straight into the car.
Dave turned his head and lowered his gaze as he asked, “W-What are you doing?”
“The later we get there, the harder it'll be for us to search for evidence,” Alpha Kilian replied.
Dave then threw his cigarette butt on the floor and stepped on it before he got into the car. “You're not going to hide anymore?”
Alpha Kilian looked ahead and said nothing.
A smirk appeared on Dave's face. He got his answer from Alpha Kilian 's silence. Dave started the engine and drove off without saying anything further.
When they got to the base of DX Group, everything had already been destroyed by the fire. Dave clenched his fist, and a hint of hostility flashed across his eyes as he gazed at the chaos. Alpha Kilian 's expression also turned grim as he looked around.
If Boss is the one behind this, he'll be dead meat!
“I'm going over there to take a look,” Alpha Kilian voiced. Dave nodded and strode ahead when Alpha Kilian left. “Mike,” Dave called.
Mike was in charge of one of the departments in DX Group, who had rushed to the base after hearing what happened. “Dave.” Mike stepped toward Dave and greeted him.
“How are they?” Dave went straight to the point and asked.
A conflicted look flashed through Mike's face when he heard Dave's question. “Two of them are dead, and one is injured,” he disclosed.
Having heard of Mike's answer, Dave's piercing gaze was filled with murderous intent. Despite that, he lowered his voice and asked, “Do you know who is behind this?”
“No, I don't.” Mike shook his head. “It happened so suddenly. But I've already sent someone to investigate the matter,” he added.
Meanwhile, Alpha Kilian had looked around but did not find any substantial evidence. However, he discovered that there was a surveillance camera at a near distance.
He walked back to Dave and signaled him to look over.
Dave immediately understood. Then, he turned to make a phone call.
Right then, Mike was stunned when he saw Alpha Kilian . “Alpha Kilian ?” he called out to Alpha Kilian , flabbergasted.
Alpha Kilian turned around to look when he heard Mike. “It's been a while, Mike,” Alpha Kilian greeted him in a low voice.
Mike stared at him for a whole minute before walking toward Alpha Kilian and wrapping his arms around him. “Alpha Kilian ! I didn't think I'd be able to see you again in my life!” Mike exclaimed.
Alpha Kilian didn't budge an inch. He patted Mike's shoulder silently.
