Alpha Damon's Greatest Regret
Chapter 57- The Usurper

Chapter 57: Chapter 57- The Usurper

SIMON~

The car came to a halt and the engine died as I turned the key and removed it from its slot, I looked through the tinted windows of the car and just a few steps away was the entrance of what used to be a Silver hollow base, the moment I had entered this car I had stopped being John but the moment I stepped out of it I would have to be Simon. I let out an exhausted sigh and looked at the rearview mirror allowing my face to revert to its original form.

"Simon Reverend, the alpha," I said calmly, looking into my reflection as I held onto the handle and pushed open the door, I stepped out of the car and walked to the entrance but something felt off, The steps I took felt heavy, burdened by the weight of all the wolves who put their faith in me. The life I had chosen to live left no space for weakness or mistakes, I wasn’t just an alpha anymore, I was the Alpha.

I walked through the open door of my office and took a seat behind my desk, everything remained exactly how I had left it, every pen, note, and file untouched and unmoved. I opened the second drawer on the desk and picked out an old silver necklace, cheap, the paint had begun to wash away and it reeked off the metallic stench of iron, as I looked at the faded piece of jewelry I remembered her.

"Take this, and let it be a part of you." She had said as she locked the necklace around my neck, I could no longer remember her face, so many memories yet I couldn’t picture her, and what she looked like was lost on me, She was everything to me and now I only saw her in my dreams, fragments of what was and what used to be, my jaw tightened as I remembered the night I lost her, I gripped the necklace harder.

"I’m almost there, I’m almost there mot—" Before I could finish speaking Leo entered the office.

"You’re back." He said with faint excitement, I nodded as I kept the necklace back in its place and turned to him.

"I am."

"Good." He said with a smile as he walked to my desk and handed me two files.

"Is there a problem?"

"No, those are just the records of holdings that are now in our name," Leo answered with a bubbling smile.

"Good, have you looked through them?"

"Yes, all of them are precise and account for every building, structure, business, and share transferred from all the packs now under your control."

"How are we sure they aren’t holding out?"

"Because I had already done a thorough investigation on all their assets before they handed them to us.", I let out a small breath of relief, thankful that Leo was here to iron out all the tedious details.

"Are there any rebellions brewing?"

"None, and even the ones that existed before all dispersed after that day at the arena," Leo said with a prideful smirk.

"It served its purpose perfectly," I said, an amused chuckle escaping my lips.

"Guess what."

"What?"

"The people have a name for you now," Leo said barely able to hold back his excitement.

"What is it?"

"The Usurper." He said with glee, I almost chuckled at his child-like excitement but restrained myself to a smile.

"I like it." I said, "No rebellions, no petty grievances, it’s all moving along smoothly?" I asked

"Yes, for the time being at least." He answered me, I put the first file down and looked at the other one.

"What’s this?" I asked.

"That’s what I was able to find out about Lucas’s daughter in the human sector." He answered calmly, I smiled as I opened the file and began to look through it.

"Wilson Advertising, 24 years old, NYU, a Son?" I asked not sure if it was a typo.

"Yes."

"Is the father in the picture?"

"No, I assume it was just a boyfriend who didn’t want to use a condom and didn’t want to deal with the responsibility of having a child."

"But you’re not sure about that?"

"Nope, judging by her father I doubt it’s a child born out of anything other than careless behavior and bad decisions," Leo answered, and honestly I didn’t blame him for thinking that way, trashy fathers made trashy children.

"Do we at least know what sector the father is from?"

"The boy is six years old and judging from the month he was born and the timeline in which she left, I deduced that he is most likely from the wolf sector and the boy is most likely a product of the mating festival."

"Why Does her name say Dina Meyers."

"She seemed to have legally changed it when she got to the human sector."

"Why?"

"A fresh start or maybe she doesn’t just like having the name of that idiot," Leo answered indifferently, obviously caring little about the subject.

"A change of name feels a little excessive though, is she running from something?"

"Well, I couldn’t really find a definite reason for why she left Howlcreek but if I was to make an assumption based on some things I found out, it probably has something to do with her being ostracized after her father’s betrayal of the pack but other than that, I didn’t find anything else during my search," he answered. I was suspicious, something told me there was more to this girl than met the eye and I would find out what it was.

"Something’s off about her, I can feel it," I said.

"I’ll keep looking into it."

"Good, keep a close eye on her."

"Should I assign someone to surveil her?" He asked.

"No, she’s not a priority and we can’t spare men" I replied, he nodded and turned around to leave but stopped when he reached the door

"You’re almost there Simon." He said excitedly, a smile curved my lips.

"I’m almost there," I repeated.
