[Clyde’s P.O.V.]
While I was packing in my room, a guard came to tell me that I had a high-level visitor. Usually, this was the only notification required for a high-level member of another tribe to visit.
When I opened the door, I saw Beta Patrick of Sunset Tribe standing outside my room. I quickly welcomed him into the room.
“Clyde, I’m here on behalf of Alpha Edward from Sunset Tribe. I want to thank you for everything you’ve done to save Luna Rose. This is a check for USD 20,000. Alpha has requested that I hand this over to you.”
“Beta, I can’t accept this check. After all, I used to be a doctor. It’s not my style to turn a blind eye.”
“Then what would you like in return? We’ll do our best to satisfy you.”
“Beta, can I become a member of Sunset Tribe?”
I could tell Beta Patrick was stunned by my request.
“Why do you want to join Sunset Tribe? Wouldn’t that mean that you have to completely disown your current tribe?”
“I don’t like this place. Our ‘new commander’ is just like his father. He’s dirty.” I spoke indirectly since I knew the walls sometimes had ears.
“Is that why you want to join Sunset Tribe?” asked Patrick.
“Yes, Beta.”
I lied, but I had to make sure that I could join Sunset Tribe smoothly.
“Also, Beta, I’ve already withdrawn myself from New Moon Tribe, so if Sunset Tribe can’t accept me, I would have to wander around for a while or return to human society as a doctor. The latter would be a bit risky for me.”
“Clyde, I’ll give you an answer as soon as I consult my Alpha.”
Patrick took down my phone number and left. Although I knew that as Beta, he had full authority to agree to accept me on the spot, he didn’t. I simply guessed that he was going to do a background check on me. But it wouldn’t be an issue since I had everything laid out beforehand.
Before Patrick arrived, I had already severed all ties with New Moon Tribe. I was certain that this was enough to show him my sincerity. I continued packing my luggage. Suddenly, the door to my room was kicked open.
“Clyde, you traitor!”
Alex and a few guards rushed in. It was obvious that someone had informed him.
“Why did the Beta from Sunset Tribe come looking for you? What did you say to him?” Alex yelled at me in exasperation but I looked back at him calmly.
“Alpha, I’ve already severed my relationship with New Moon Tribe so you can stop behaving like this. Plus, I may be a member of Sunset Tribe soon.”
“What? You want to join the Sunset Clan? What benefits did they give you?”
“This has nothing to do with you.” I ignored Alex and continued packing my luggage. I thought that he would be furious, but what he said next made me stop my actions.
“Clyde, since you’re determined to join Sunset Tribe, how about you be a part of our little plan? I guarantee that you’ll be treated well in the future. Perhaps you’ll be the candidate for my next Beta.”
“Who else is there beside you?” asked I.
“You don’t have to worry about that. You just need to do as I ask.”
“What do I need to do?”
“Take down my phone number and stay in touch with New Moon Tribe. I’ll give you instructions when the time is right.”
“I will consider it if you can guarantee what you’ve promised me.”
“My good brother, I knew you were a reasonable and good person. I guarantee it.”
Alex left with satisfaction. I was curious about what he wanted me to do and who he meant by ‘our’. I continued packing my luggage as I thought about it, then sat in my room and waited for Patrick’s reply.
As expected, I had become a member of Sunset Tribe. I drove my car as fast as I could to my new tribe. Since Patrick had also told me that Rose’s welcome ceremony would be later today, I didn’t want to miss anything about her, and that was the only reason I joined Sunset Tribe..
