Chapter 64 -Alex's POV- The stark white light reflecting off the computer screen cast a harsh glow on my face as I scrolled through the files Christian had compiled. Lines of text blurred together, names and dates dancing before my eyes, yet a nagging itch persisted in the back of my min Something wasn't clicking, a piece of the puzzle stubbornly refusing to fit.

Across the table, Christian sprawled back in his chair, a frown etched into his usually bored face. My gaze drifted back to the file, landing once more on Miranda's picture, her calculating eyes staring back at me. Then, it flicked to Ivan's file - a picture of stoic perfection.

This wasn't the first tI'd enlisted Christian's investigative skills on Ivan and his pack. Back then, I'd brushed it off as simple diligence, gathering all the necessary intel. But this time, a deeper uncase gnawed at me. It wasn't just about facts and figures anymore; I craved what lay beneath the surface.

Was Ivan truly the flawless alpha he projected, or was he a master of disguise, expertly concealing a storm of inner demons? My gut churned with a growing suspicion that leaned heavily towards the latter.

Christian never worried. He breezed through life, leaving a trail of broken hearts and discarded flings in his wake. He simply didn't care enough to invest emotional energy.

"Alright, spill it," I finally conceded, a hint of amusement creeping into my voice. "Who's the mystery woman holding you hostage with silence? Did someone finally see past your usual charm and bullshit?"

The last sentence earneda well-deserved glare, but it did the trick. A smirk tugged at the corner of my lips as I watched the familiar arrogance flicker back into his eyes.

"Can we just focus on this, Alex?" he snapped, gesturing towards the e scattered across the table. The files content is on novelenglish.net!
