Chapter 56 - Nirmolak
The shadow took two steps back as a result of the impact and coughed slightly. He patted off the dust on his body and adjusted his clothing.
Alex raised his eyes, and his face darkened the moment they fell on the silhouette. His hands balled into tight fists and trembled. "Nirmolak!" His cold, chilly voice blended in with the wind howling around them as he gazed at a fine young man whose short hair was neatly combed back and brown flawless skin draped in white clothing.
The shadow, who was naturally Nirmolak, shrugged and grinned with a leisurely look on his face. "Alex, it's been so long." He smirked as his pitch-black pupils stared at Alex, who was panting heavily as he slowly returned to his human form. "How have you been?"
To calm himself down, Alex took a deep breath and brushed his hair back with his fingers, ignoring Nirmolak. He glanced at Delmar, who slowly stood up with the help of his saber, and a vicious grin crept across his lips.
Delmar's face turned ashen as rage bubbled within him, and he furiously nodded his head. He gazed at Alex for a while and smirked. "It's not over; I will be back!" With that being said, he fled at an extraordinary speed towards the ocean and dived in, disappearing.
Alex shook his head and picked up his torn jacket from the floor. He looked down at his body, his face grimacing as he noticed the torn pant around his waist. A soft sign escaped his lips, and he pulled out the phone he stuffed inside of it. He proceeded to switch it on. However, laughter from Nirmolak made him halt and look up with a darkened face.
"I see you managed to get the phone before I could destroy it-" Nirmolak grinned as his eyes scrutinized Alex "-Always as quick as I remember." He chuckled softly and leaned back against the tree behind him.
Alex contemplatively nodded his head at him and slowly laughed dangerously. "You all better be ready." His cold voice resounded and his grip on the phone tightened. He ignored Nirmolak and proceeded to leave. However, the next word that exited Nirmolak's mouth made him halt in his tracks. "You do have so much confidence in his highness." Nirmolak chuckled mysteriously and turned his head to glance at Alex, but a vigorous wind blew on his face and the next thing he knew, he was pinned to the tree with a hand gripping onto his neck. "His highness?" As a result of the sudden rage, Alex's face became a shade darker, and his yellowish eyes obscured
Nirmolak smirked and lazily blinked his blue eyes, which had viciousness apparent in them."Yes, his highness! He doesn't deserve the title of Supreme Alpha because he stole it!" He gently pushed Alex away and adjusted the long jacket he was wearing. "In the end, we shall see who the real Supreme Alpha is."
"The Supreme Alpha is already known across the pack. There is nothing to know, my friend." Alex laughed softly and lazily patted the dust off his body.
Nirmolak nodded slowly and flapped his finger at him. "As I said, we shall know in the end. Then you will understand the big mistake you made when you abandoned our master for him." With that being said, he sprinted off, disappearing out of sight.
Alex's eyes narrowed into a thin line, and he let out a soft breath. He glanced at the phone in his hand, then at his body, and his face became awkward in annoyance. Now he has to find another piece of clothing to change into.

Swathed in casual black sweatpants and a white shirt, Adrik sat on the couch in the living room downstairs with documents in his hands. He scanned through them and threw them on the table with annoyance written all over his face.
He proceeded to stand up from the couch, but deep pain spread through his stomach and he plopped back down on the divan. His eyes glanced at his stomach, and his face grimaced when he saw the clean bandage wrapped around his waist becoming bloody.
He gritted his teeth and decided to try and stand up again, but the pain that came this time was so much heavier than the first that he immediately sat back down and threw his head back. "Great." He groaned in irritation and abruptly raised his head when he heard Alex's voice as he walked into the living room. "Supreme Alpha."
Alex ambled over to him and took a seat on the sofa opposite him. "How are you feeling?" He asked with deep concern in his tone.
Adrian bobbed at him and took a deep breath. "Did you find out anything?" He went straight to the point and asked with no expression on his pale face.
"Yes, Supreme Alpha." Alex nodded and pulled out the phone from the pocket of his new jacket. He stood up and gave it to Adrik. "Turned out it was his highness again."
Adrik received the phone, and his brow began to crease deeply as he went through the messages on the phone. His face darkened, and with great anger evident on his face, he threw the phone away, smashing it on the wall.
Alex flinched a bit in surprise and his eyes fluttered in confusion as a low, deep breath escaped his nose.
"I want her in my base before dawn tomorrow!" Adrik unfolded his balled hands and raised his eyes to gaze at Alex. "As for Ileus..." A devilish smile emerged on his scarred face, and his eyes narrowed dangerously.
Alex nodded and immediately stood up from the couch.. He gave a deep, respectful bow to Adrik and hurriedly left the living room, and sauntered out of the mansion.
