'Royal Casino was burnt to ashes last night. The latest report says that it was due to a short circuit, police found some dead bodies in the ruined building.

Their identification process will take some time."


Watching TV in the VIP room, Angie was having lunch with Noah when Charlotte and Alpha came to visit her.

'Star!"

Angie wrapped her arms around her best friend.


'You have saved me again, Star. How would I ever repay you?"

Charlotte smiled and patted her head.


'Just stay safe. I don't want anything else from you."

Angie gulped a lump in her throat and sniffled.

'It was a mistake for agreeing to compulsion, Star. I couldn't recognize those shark loans from the past. I was wrong!"

Angie began to sob piteously, Noah pacified her.

'You are innocent, Angie. It was King's Casper fault, who gave you wrong options."

'Actually, he was right!"

Charlotte raised her voice in her friend's defense, Alpha's fury sprang to life.

'The first rule of compulsion is to leave that particular area for good. That's why His Majesty offered you to live in the Vampire Kingdom.

New starting needs new habitat, Angie."

Her soft tone along with reasoning for King Casper removed the harmony from the atmosphere, the air became thick with Alpha and Noah's combine anger.

But they couldn't find a chance to express it as she received an urgent call from her front man.

'I have to go. See you."

With the promise of meeting her again, Charlotte rushed towards the office, leaving Alpha behind.

'This is ridiculous."

Board of directors decided to sale their shares to other rival company, and pledged their loyalty with easy money.

Eric's company literally lost its market value after this. It was like someone destroyed Alpha's name on purpose, ruining his companies for bankruptcy.

'Is there no evidence of any enemy?"

She interrogated her spies for a length of time, but it was fruitless. She strictly instructed everyone to hide this news from Alpha and contacted her three front men.

'Merge all the companies under the banner of ‘Lockwood Industries'. I will transfer the remaining clients of Dietor's group to you, deal with them efficiently. There should be a hundred percentage satisfaction of dealers in response. We are back to business now."

After checking the bank statement, she began the hunt to find new clients, it was a relief that Eric had savings of one year worth of his Pack's expenses.

Between all the chaos in the workplace, a mere text message put a smile on her face.

'Your Uncle didn't pay me salary, Star. How will I manage my expenses?"

'Mr. Daniel Webber has left the job without notice, the company is not bound to pay him for his incompetency."

She spoke in a mechanical tone and giggled, as King Casper on the other side of the call sighed heavily.

'You are such a heartless business lady, Star."

He commented on her icy tone and came straight to the point.

'I am here in city. Let's meet."

'Today?"

Charlotte glanced at the incomplete files before her and searched for a good excuse.

'Actually, I am not free today. We will meet next time."

She assumed that King Casper was there for a day or two for some official business, but he surprised her.

'I have a business proposal for you. What about a meeting between the two presidents?"

'So, that broke doctor suddenly owns a business empire now. Interesting."

Instead of saying 'Yes" directly, she talked to him for a while, then fixed the time in the evening.

Now, the main problem was convincing Alpha, which was more challenging than anything else.

'No!"

Eric's straightforward refusal lived up to her expectations, his vexation from all the secrecy got directed towards King Casper.

'I don't need that bastard's charity for my business. I would prefer to starve rather than taking help from the enemy."

'What a man of principles you are!"

Charlotte clapped for his speech and threw a file at his face.

'Selling your father's legacy is the thing which a noble man would do to save his face. I have no idea from where did you get this matchless idea, but I am glad to inform you that the Stanford group has already disclosed this deal in the media.

Congratulations, your brilliant plan has backfired badly."

She huffed in anger, showing him the mirror of reality.

'What I am doing is not charity, Alpha. As a business client, there is no issue in just listening to His Majesty's offer."

Eric recovered from the shock of betrayal with some struggle, he was not anticipating this outcome.

'Someone is picking on me."

'Finally!"

Charlotte thanked the Goddess and sighed in relief.

'It's not bad to rob money from your enemies when they are willing to spend freely. We should not miss this golden chance."

She ruffled his hair and poured a glass of whiskey for him.

'You are coming with me, and it's final."

...

That was quite unexpected for King Casper to see Eric at the dinner, he got back his composure when only Star joined him at the table.

'I am new to this business. So, please be kind to me, president Star."

Charlotte chuckled at his effort to flatter her.

'You have chosen to start a housing project for your employees. It's not a reckless move at all."

She read the file with great interest and found it in her favor, her smile was full of spring of joys.

'Order please."

King Casper ordered for both, and initiated the conversation he rehearsed the whole day.

'You are over exerting yourself. Alpha is not a child. He can handle it well."

Observing his face for any hidden meaning, Charlotte fixed her eyes at him.

'Why will Alpha need help for my business? I can deal with my problems."

She pointed her fork at his face, his lips curled up in a lively smile. He readjusted his glasses and sipped the cocktail, relishing its taste.

'How long it's been since you tasted the fresh hunt, Star?"

'There he goes!"

She mumbled under her breath and rolled her eyes at him.

'You also know that it's necessary for you, Star. Tension and the temperature rise is the deadly combination for a young vampire."

Alpha Eric's ears perked up at this code wording, he got up from his table and sat with them.

'What is harmful for little one?"

King Casper nodded and explained to him.

'It's a reaction..."

'Save your energy, Your Majesty. I will go for a drink."

Charlotte interrupted him abruptly and went to the bar downstairs.

Alpha felt standard with his birth enemy.

'I guess it's you and me now, Alpha."

Eric began to read the papers for timepass, the awkward silence filled the air with weird vibes.

'This deal is not a favor. My little one deserves her share in the Royal family heirlooms, it's her birth right."

King Casper straightened up, a sly grin appeared on his face.

'I have talked to Star about this, but she didn't accept my offer. Although, I am willing to share the Royal throne with her, you came between us, Alpha."

'You!"

Eric's curse died down in his mouth as,

'Ahh!"

An agonizing scream pierced the cozy atmosphere, shattering its peace.

'Damn it!"

They both looked at each other and rushed towards the door, this was not a good sign in the presence of a vampire in human restaurant.
