Chapter 84
Deacon’s POV
One page after another, I flipped through the reports about the border, reviewing the recent rebuilding progress and maps of reclaimed areas.
I was already halfway through it when Tyson suddenly rushed in, looking quite uneasy.
“Prince…” he called out hesitantly.
Furrowing my brows and feeling the possibility of the seriousness of what he might say, I put down the report, leaned back, crossed my arms, and gave my full attention to him. “What is it?”
His eyes looked side to side for a while before hesitantly saying, “Prince, Miss Elena is here to see you.”
Something within myself rejoices from that news, making me sit up properly and place my hands on the table quickly, a small smile threatening to come from my lips.
“Send her in then, what’s the hold–up?” I asked.
Usually, he would just send her in with a bit of notification, so I didn’t know what the sudden holdup was.
I stared at him intently when he didn’t move to follow my order and watched as he swallowed with difficulty. After
a few seconds, he sighed deeply and looked up at me before cautiously saying, “Before that… It seems like General Bryson went to see her earlier.”
That explained it.
Raising my brows, I nonchalantly asked back, “And?”
“I just thought… maybe she’s here to plead for him. Or… to win him back…” he uttered with more hesitancy in his voice.
My jaws clenched, and my hands turned into fists. The mere thought of that made my blood boil in unimaginable rage. “Do you think Elena would plead for a man like Bryson? Do you think she’d lower herself for him?”
I couldn’t help but ask one after another with venom in my voice.
He awkwardly scratched the back of his head. “Well… what if she still has feelings for him?”
That struck the last straw in me. In the blink of an eye, I was already standing from my seat and sending a punch
in his direction without hesitation.
Tyson stumbled back with his head turning to the side from my punch, and his lip burst from the blow. Reaching in, he wiped the blood off and stood up properly, only to meet my murderous eyes
“Elena looks down on Bryson. She always has. He is not worthy of her,” I uttered firmly.
But at the back of my mind, I was inwardly wishing that it was the truth and her conviction of rejecting that asshole was as high as I imagined because a man like him wasn’t even worthy of looking her way.
Rubbing his strained jaw, Tyson looked me in the eyes and muttered without hesitau. “Then who is?”
This time, he wasn’t asking my Beta but my best friend, who had always been by my side.
He raised his brows, and a slight smirk flashed on his lips as he asked, “Then who is?”
My entire body froze as tension crawled in my whole body, and his question echoed in my mind repeatedly, making my heart pound so fast and hard inside my chest.

Chapter 84
I swallowed with difficulty, eyes staring into oblivion as I thought of the words I should say, but I couldn’t seem to form any words to say.
Then who is…
Who else could be worthy of a priceless woman like Elena? couldn’t even think of another man. No… I wouldn’t dare to even think of a man because the mere thought of her being with someone else felt like poison in my body.
Tyson stared at me, narrowing his eyes as he seemingly evaluated my expression before realization dawned in his eyes, and he slowly nodded his eyes.
“Alpha… are you saying…?” he asked slowly with meaning in his eyes.
Before he could say anything more and voice out the words had been trying so hard to conceal deep within me, I lost control and punched him again.
He took a couple of deep breaths as he stretched his pained jaws.
He tried opening his mouth again and said more things but was already heaving with anger and angrily pointed out at the door, commanding, “Enough. Get out!”
He nodded in understanding and turned to leave but stopped midday. Shifting his gaze, he looked at me with a serious expression. He reminded me meaningfully, “One last thing. Do you remember what Elena’s mother said to you?”
Memories of the past flashed before me, making my eyes narrow as I stared at him dangerously. Without saying more words, I took a step forward and pushed him out, saying, “Send her in!”
I watched as Tyson scurried off, leaving me alone to calm myself.
From a distance I could hear him talking to Elena. Hearing her approaching footsteps, I closed my eyes and took a couple of deep breaths before rushing back to my seat as if nothing happened.
“Elena. To what do I owe this honor?” I asked, masking all of my emotions brought by my memories with the conversation I had with her mother.
