Chapter 22

**Chapter 22**

**Nathan’s POV**

I sat in my office at Hemsworth Group, the hum of the city barely audible through the glass walls. Collins, my beta, was speaking rapidly, his words tumbling over one another as he relayed the latest news. But then, he said something that made my wolf stir restlessly within me.

“So, a janitor stole my grandmother’s ring?” My voice emerged low and measured, a calm facade barely masking the storm brewing inside.

My grandmother had returned only a few days prior after spending years abroad, a self-imposed exile after the tragic loss of my mother and her daughter. The weight of her grief had driven her away, leaving behind echoes of sorrow that lingered in our home.

When I married Aria five years ago, my grandmother had sent her blessings, but ever since, she had become relentless in her pursuit of grandchildren. Now that she was back, it seemed her mission was to tease and prod me at every opportunity.

Collins stiffened, the nerves evident in his voice. “Alpha Nathan, rest assured. Since this involves Luna Jennifer, the police have assigned an officer specifically to handle the case. According to Luna Jennifer’s maid, Lucy, the ring has been recovered.”
