Submitting to My Lycan Prince Mate

36 A Strange Man

I turned my head to look at him.

The speaker was a handsome man, and he appeared to be a few years older than Prince Louis. Deep-set eyes and jet-black hair gave his appearance a somewhat cold air, yet he was undeniably gorgeous. His sharp green eyes resembled the lake where forest nymphs were said to reside, exuding a mysterious and alluring charm.

He was dressed in a dark gray wool coat with a deep blue scarf around his neck, paired with a pitch-black suit underneath.

I gazed at him with surprise, wondering how he could wear so much in this weather without feeling hot.

Noticing my expression, he chuckled softly, his voice unexpectedly deep and gentle. "Apologies, is it strange? I've had an injury, and I tend to feel cold more easily."

"No, I didn't mean that." I quickly clarified.

It was only at that moment that I noticed he was holding a wolf-head cane. The style of the wolf head on it was somewhat similar to the wolf head ring Prince Louis wore, but it had two blood-red gemstones set in its eyes, giving it a more sinister appearance.

Pausing for a moment, I asked, "Who are you? Do you have something to discuss with me?"He looked thoughtful for a second and then spoke, "I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Garfield Evans, the Alpha of the Black Mountain Pack."

"The Black Mountain Pack..." I frowned, pondering.

"I've come to apologize to you, Miss Gambino." Garfield said earnestly, "Lucy is my brother's girlfriend, and I'm sorry I didn't detect this situation earlier and prevent it. But don't worry, I've given them a lesson."

Finally, it clicked into my mind about the significance of the Garfield surname.

I hadn't really cared too much about this matter, but I was curious about their subsequent experiences. Prince Louis hadn't told me the details of how he questioned Lucy and her boyfriend. He just assured me that things had been resolved and there was no need for me to worry.

I inquired, "What kind of lesson did you give them?"

"They offended His Highness, which is an unpardonable offense." Garfield said with a detached expression, "However, His Highness is merciful enough to allow them to confess and expose the mastermind behind their actions to offset their guilt. It's just that my brother was too afraid. He and his mate committed suicide in prison before the interrogation even began."

My eyes widened, "Suicide? They're dead?"

"Yes." Garfield answered in a matter-of-fact tone, as if the deceased were not his brother and his brother's mate, but two strangers.

A shiver ran down my spine. However, as I noticed his grip on the wolf-head cane had turned white-knuckled, I felt somewhat relieved. Maybe he was just a reserved person by nature, I thought.

After all, how could someone remain indifferent to the sudden loss of loved ones?
