Chapter 98 I could not understand what Adrian was trying to say. I glanced at Eric to see if he had gotten the meaning.
I noticed Eric's eyes had darkened. I cleared my throat and said, "Alpha Wade, please excuse us." He gavea nod when he noticed that the atmosphere was becoming more heated as a result of the two men making dark eye contact with one another.
I locked my arm with Eric and tugged him to the other side. While walking past Adrian, I glanced at him. He gazed atand gavea look. I could not understand what was going on in his cunning brain.
What did he mean by assistance and possession? Did he mean about my brother's throne? Eric was like our family. He would never betray my brother. So Adrian should not be concerned about my pack, which "This man is getting on my nerves," Eric muttered, tightening his fist.
I lifted his hand and patted over it. "Calm down. He did that intentionally. If you react to what he wants, it is only a loss for you.".
I tried to make him understand. He sighed and turned his head toward me. "If you wantto calm down, I will do it." I was stunned by his words. I felt him placing his palm over mine. I lowered my head to look at our hands.
+15 BONUS "Eric, I-" "May I have your attention, please?" The loud voice coming from the speaker interrupted me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI realized what I was going to say to Eric. I should not talk about it with him. It was just Jason's proposal to me. If I continuously talked about it, it might give Eric sfalse hope. So I did not say anything about "Please have your seats. We will start the conference soon." Eric signaledto the tables that were arranged close to the stage.
Every table had a nameplate on it. Eric and I walked towards the tables. We looked around and found a table named 'Blue Blood Pack.' Eric turned his head and looked for Damia and our managers.
He motioned his hand for them to cto the table. They nodded their heads and made their way to our table. Eric pulled a chair for me. I smiled at him and sat on the chair. "Thank you." "Mention not." He sat next to me. Damia took a seat on my other side.
The conference started after a few minutes.
Alpha Wade and his secretary went to the stage. He showed his demands on the projector, which he asked for in every pack.
"As you all know, my brother is the new Alpha of the Storm Forest Pack. I want to give him a deal position, which could help him rule the pack smoothly. I want film to be successful in his new journey. Please applaud our head Alpha, Seth Campbell." Everyone in the hall clapped for Alpha Seth when he got on the stage. He had just arrived at the venue.
He was a man in his early thirties. He looked humble and modest. Everyone could see the resemblance between the two brothers's facial structures.
"I would like to express my gratitude to each and every one of you for attending the conference. From my position as the leader of this pack, I can ensure that my pack will never betray you, regardless of who e Friendship between two packs is the only reason behind this deal.
People applauded for him when he had finished his speech. His beta gestured for him to take a seat at a close table.
I was desperately waiting for the announcement. It was an important deal in my career. I could not lose it in any way.
My eyes moved away from the stage as I kept staring at it for a long time.
I frowned as my eyes moved to one of the tables, which was located one table behind our table on the right side. It was the table of the Crystal Blood Pack. But it did not bother me. What disturbedwas their head Alpha, who was "Why are you looking at me, Adrian? What's going on in your mind? I am sure you are planning something in your head,' I thought without looking away from him.
He did not break eye contact, which annoyed me. What did he want fromnow? My eyes shifted to the next person sitting with him. It was Bet Patric. He was glancing at Adrian, then at me.
I averted my gaze from them and focused on the stage.
After discussing his pack with all the explanations, it was tim for Alpha Wade to announce the nof the pack that got th deal.
I pursed my lips in nervousness. Eric held my hand. "Don't b nervous. You will get the deal for sure." "I don't know. I am not feeling good." "Relax, Natalia."

I shut my eyes to pray in my head.
My parents and Jason trusted mela lot. They gavesuch a big position En when I was not even a scholar in this
field. If I were to lose it, it would be a serious hit to the faith that they have they a in me. My brother might be believing I that would help him develop the pack.

"The deal goes to the Crystal Blood Pack." Eric's hand loosened his grip on mine. My lips parted in shock.
How could this be able? * Adrian, would you please take the stage?" Alpha Wade said in a grating tone Everyone started to clap for the winning pack company.

Adrian stood up to make his way to the stage. While passing my side, he turned his head in my direction.
