Alpha took a step forward, her expression fierce. "Who are you? And why are you here?"
The man smirked, ignoring her question as he locked his gaze onto me.
"You didn't think you could kill my best friend and not hear from me, did you?"
The weight of the situation bore down on the room. The man in front of me was tall, his red hair catching the dim light, and his eyes sharp, assessing.
My curiosity spiked, my mind shifting into focus, trying to piece together this unexpected new person.
"What are you here for?" I asked, keeping my voice neutral but firm.
He sneered, crossing his arms with a smirk that held neither friendliness nor humor. "Isn't it obvious?" he replied, tone dripping with disdain. "I'm here to take revenge for my friend. The one you killed."
"Friend?" Alpha cut in, her tone razor-sharp with curiosity. "You mean that cloaked guy?"
