“Yes, I figured it out, finally. It’s not like you to just walk out on us,” Nolan said. “It’s going to triple our profits if you pull it off, Adam, so don’t screw up.”
“Have I ever screwed anything up?” Adam asked sarcastically.
“Nope, but still, be careful,” Nolan said. “Fuck, I’m sorry for breathing down your neck and continually pestering you to come back when you’re fucking busy with your big plans that’d kill half the institute’s revenue.”
“Idiot,” Adam said.
It took Nolan long enough to figure this one out. Usually, it’d be within days, but Adam supposed this time was different. This time, he was the one doing the work instead of the men, which had probably thrown Nolan off.
“By the way,” he said. “I have a job for you.”
“Oh, what’s that?” Nolan sounded intrigue.
“Find a way to increase an alpha’s life essence,” Adam said.
“That’s easy,” Nolan said. “Just beat the crap out of another alpha and suck it out of him. Or murder.”
Adam sighed. “You know I hate that shit. Find another way.”
“Ugh! Fine,” Nolan said. “This will take up a shitloadof my time because the info is not going to be easy to find.”
“I know,” Adam said. “But it’s important.”
There was a pause from the other side, and then, “Adam, you didn’t.”
Adam knew Nolan had figured out he had used his life essence on Shiro. He didn’t answer and said instead, “Call me when you’ve found a way.”
Nolan sighed. “I can’t believe you went and did that. I thought I was an idiot, but you’re more of an idiot than I am.”
Adam shrugged. “What can I say? We’re brothers. You know what to do, right-hand man.”
Nolan chuckled in an aggravated manner. “Yeah, I know.”
“And don’t forget to contact me.”
“Yes, yes, big boss.”
The call ended, and Adam slid the phone back into his trouser pocket. “Okay, off to work then,” he said, starting the engine and driving out.

Nolan
In one of the two offices located on the fifth floor of the Sullivan Mansion was Nolan, leaning back on the leather chair. Fuck, he couldn’t believe Adam was going all out this time in destroying the institute. But of course, it wasn’t like bringing down that massive corporation was going to ruin the institute completely, since it had the backup of the government, but it’d at least put a dent in their operation.
“Adam, I wish you luck, bro,” he said, chuckling.
Just as suddenly though, that chuckling died and a frown appeared.
Life essence, eh?
“Fuck,” he said under his breath. Now, he’d have to increase the security around their territory. Because Adam’s life essence had gone down, this meant his supernatural power as an alpha wolf would also be reduced. This also meant the other alphas would soon find out, and they’d come barging in demanding a duel. If they won, obviously, they’d take over the clan, whichwas expected in their world. A pretty fucked-up world, really.
A few minutes later, Lan turned up, and the moment the boy walked in through the door of his office, Nolan felt his dick respond in the most inappropriate way. And it was so fucking early in the morning, too.
“Peter said you wanted to see me?” Lan asked once he was in the middle of the room and standing a few steps away from Nolan’s desk. “Are we going somewhere?”
“Not we,” Nolan said, his gaze drifting over the boy from head to toe. In that t-shirt, leather jacket, and ripped jeans with boots, Lan looked like a punk kid, a fucking cute one. Not to mention that gold earring in his left ear. The tight jeans did nothing to hide the boy’s slender legs and firm butt, which made Nolan’s cock ache for some reason.
