Vance stepped out of the black sedan, his eyes quickly assessing the heavily built men who flanked him. "Why exactly did you bring me to this location?" he demanded, searching for a clear answer.
"The Alpha wishes to speak with you directly," Aiden stated.
Vance frowned, still deeply confused by the abrupt summons, but he had no choice but to follow the Beta inside. His steps finally halted in the spacious, austere living room upon seeing Sage, the Alpha, seated with intimidating stillness, flipping the pages of a file.
"Alpha, I've brought Vance," Aiden reported, standing aside.
Sage lifted his gaze from the document, dismissing Aiden with a subtle gesture, then motioned for Vance to take the seat directly across from him.
Vance wasted no time, leaning forward slightly after sitting. "Did you find out the truth yet? I swear, I wasn't lying to you," he insisted, his urgency evident. "I heard it myself. The killers clearly spoke your mother's name."
