The Wolf Who Saved Me

They Doubled The Amount



Casper slowly knocked on the door of Conri’s room. It had been days since his last conversation with Henry. Conri has been in a bad mood these past few days, and he could not talk to him.

He took a deep breath when he heard Conri say, “Come in!”

Casper opened the door, greeted Conri, and asked, “Alpha Conri, could I speak to you?”

“What is it, Casper? Have you found Wren?” Conri replied, with an irritated look on his face.

Casper was silent for a second before saying, “No, alpha.”

Conri’s eyes glared with anger and asked, “Then, what is it that you want to discuss? You know I only want you to come here when you have good news. But you always come to deliver something I don’t want to hear. Now, tell me what it is?”

“Umm.. I have spoken to Alpha Henry of the Blue Pack. I was about to agree with the deal, but he had changed it.”

“Don’t tell me he wants more money.”

Casper was silent again, then said, “I’m afraid so. He doubled the amount.”

Conri was furious that his eyes turned dark, fangs grew on his mouth, and his hands turned to paws. He was about to shift into his werewolf form. Conri terrified Casper that he went down and kneeled.

“My apologies, Alpha! I did not want to offend you. I really did try my best to find her, but she was not there almost everywhere I looked. Please believe me,” Casper said with a shaky voice.

Conri closed his eyes, and in one minute, he was able to calm down. When he opened his eyes, they were back to their original color. He sighed out of frustration and asked, “How much do they need again?”

“Two hundred thousand, Alpha,” Casper said, still kneeling with his head bowed down.

“That mother-fucker, Henry! He is taking advantage of our desperation. Tell him that I would try to manage the first half of his required amount in two weeks. And the rest would be paid after the task is done.”

“Yes, Alpha. Actually, those were Alpha Henry’s terms; otherwise, they would not do it.”

Conri roared, and he almost partly shifted again. But he thought of Acwulf and how he could kill him if he would not give him Wren.

“Casper, this would be the last time I would be giving you a chance. I don’t want another agreement being thrown at me. If this fails, Casper, you will no longer be my beta. You will be a warrior.”

Casper looked at Conri in shock. They used to be close when Conri was not yet an alpha. But when he turned into an alpha, it felt like Conri had forgotten who Casper was. He was his best friend.

He stood and left Conri’s room, still shaking. Casper thought earlier that Conri would kill him out of his anger. But it was still his lucky day; Conri had spared his life.

He immediately dialed Henry’s number when he went back to his room. Casper was now desperate for Wren to be found. He could not afford to see Conri that way anymore.

“Hello, Henry!” Casper said.

“Oh, Casper, my friend. It took a long time for you to call back. What happened?” Henry replied.

“I waited for Alpha Conri to be in a good mood before I talked to him.”

“So, what did he say? Are we going to have a deal?”

“Yes, Henry. He will give you the first hundred thousand in two weeks and the rest when the job is done. Now, can you please let your warriors start looking for Wren?”

“Oh, that’s not how it works, Casper. As I said before, we needed first the deposit before I asked my warriors to go on a suicide mission just to find your runaway she-wolf.”

Casper roared on the phone, but Henry only laughed at him and said, “Hey, Casper, I am just being fair here. If you want to know if that she-wolf is in any of those locations, you told me, then pay the deposit. The agreement was just simple. But if you can’t make the payment yet, then, Casper, my friend, you have to wait.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“My life is on the line here, Henry. Conri almost killed me earlier when I told him that you took advantage of us and doubled the amount. You fucking making sure that you would find her; otherwise, I would ask Conri to kill you all.”

Henry did not feel threatened. He just laughed and said, “You know you needed our help. But help is costly these days, Casper, especially if your life is on the line. However, if you are not happy with the agreement, you can always say no. And then, look for that runaway she-wolf yourselves.”

Casper sighed out of frustration and said, “I will call you after a week once I get Conri’s confirmation that the money is already ready for you to collect.”

“I would be patiently waiting, Casper. And you as well must learn to be patient.”

“I swear that once I don’t hear from you on the timeline that you mentioned, I will rip your heart. Do you hear me?”

“Oooooh, so scary. But Casper, you would not scare me like that when I know you need me. Anyway, talk to you soon. Bye!”

Casper threw the phone to his bed. He wanted to scream, but he didn’t want to scare anyone and worry Conri. He just went down to the kitchen, took all the remaining beer out of the fridge, and returned to his room.

He was so angry, and he had no way to take it out. Casper opened his TV and started drinking beer while watching something funny. He hoped that doing that would calm him down.

He suddenly remembered Wren, and he whispered, “Once I find you bitch, I am going to make you beg for your life. I am going to use you first before those bastards Black Pack does.”
