Shamal possessed the most compelling emotional voice of all the gang members Rika knew. He had a knack for manipulating his emotions to achieve his desired outcome.
There was a solid chance that he was just acting up and showing a side of himself that he knew Rika would not be able to deny.
But that did not mean his words held no truth. Shamal was mixing his emotions up and exaggerating them to trap Rika in her guilt and make her come with him.
Despite her awareness of Shamal's tactics, Rika could not escape his emotional trap.
"Boss, Big Sis, little lady, we had so many names for you, so please, don't abandon us this time. At least, meet everyone once before you decide you no longer want to be associated with us."
The alpha begged one last time in a pathetic voice, and Rika felt she had no choice but to follow him.
