âI didnât see where the shots came from Alpha Iâm sorry,â Brian bowed his head low to me.
âWhat you recovered was more important than the words we couldâve gotten from those wolves,â I
patted his shoulder and he stood.
âI think it best that others leave the room sir,â
I froze. There something on this laptop that told me something that would make me livid then. There
was proof of a mole wasnât there.
âYou heard him everyone out,â I sat down at my desk and opened up the laptop. âMatt, Aarron, Leon
you as well,
My council looked at me in shock that I know questioned their allegiance as well. If whatever was on
here was truly that awful I had no choice but to question them.
âAlpha,â they all bowed to me and walked out..
Brian left as well without hesitation, I felt a curiosity if he was trying to cover for himself or not.
Then I remembered his face when I saved Ella that night he was grateful to me for finishing a job that
was his, and for saving his sisters life.
found it hard to doubt him.
I opened the laptop and went to the files. Full inventory of our weapons, hand drawn sketches of our
defenses, lists of warriors, lists of trackers, names of my friends, and a list of where my wife went
around the pack.
I didnât think I picked up a chair and flung it through the wall it stuck out of the drywall like some odd
sculpture
humans would have.
My eyes flashed and I threw another at the twin doors to my office my eyes had turned black.
They flung open and the people outside scurried off like mice. people outside scurried off like mice.
âI want heads!â I roared my claws extended my teeth growing.
âGrayson!â She called to me like a bell.
She ran up to me her hands to my face no mention of fear on her scent, no rapid fire heartbeat.
âI want everyone out of the keep and in their own homes this instant or else youâll be brought before
Grayson as he is!â She spun around ordering the onlookers.
They all fled but Brian bowed his head to her and stayed a second longer. âWhat file did you see
alpha?â
At this point I was much calmer and I went back to the computer with Brian.

âSir I donât believe the Luna should like to see this it will be distressing to say the least,â he cautioned
me.
âAnnette please,â I turned to her.
My stubborn wifeâs face twitched with ire and she opened her mouth to speak before placing a hand on
her stomach and walking over to the side of Brian and turning her face away.
He clicked on a file that had her name and from just that my blood boiled. They were coming for her,
and more than that
Photos of her face filled the screen Arron turned away as they started to appear and a few more photos
in I saw why but only for a second.
**My wife
I didnât stop Enzo from coming forward I saw from the corner of my eye my wife grabbing Brian out of
my way as I transformed.
Enso tore through my office we broke the desk and the doors. We ran through the keep down to the
doors and burst through them.
We saw the surprise and fear of our pack as the rushed to the sides of buildings at we growled and
sprang forward. bounding out into the forest.
We were angry and killing something sounded good. Killing the people who had taken those photos of
our wife before she transitioned sounded best..
We made our way up to the site of the enemyâs former camp. We looked around to find where their
sniper could have taken out the wolves we had captured.
Only one seemed to have a clear line of sight..
Weâre sure if we had waited until morning we wouldnât have found him. Weâre sure if they had known
how any we were he would have covered their tracks. Covered their scent. Taken precautions.
He didnât do any of this and he was easy to find. A scared little rat who begged for his life.
We walked back to the pack dragging him with leg a vice in our jaw. He screamed a little as his head
dragged around.
We dragged him to the keep my council was cleaning up my mess. Only they had access to that
information
We threw the wolf down in front of them their eyes so wide.
Ento grabbed his throat and clamped down hard I was tempted to stop him and then I heard the
heartbeat of my child
in her belly.
I asked him to bear down on them for a second to see who finched but they sat frozen.
**Fine. ***
We walked back to our house she was waiting. We entered the house and she closed the door for us.
I transitioned back still covered in blood.
âWho was it?â
âFound their sniper, made a statement,â I bit out heading to the sink and spitting out a small chunk of
flesh
âYou should go upstairs to bed. Iâll shower well so you donât get sick.â I called to her.
âI put it here in our safe,â she whispered so low I only picked up on it.
I nodded to her. She must have sent Brian home.
âWhat is going on?!â My mother gasped as she saw me n*ked and bloody
âWe have a mole,â Annette stated matter of factor as if that alone explained my state.
My mother scrunched her face inspecting me. âDid you find them?â She nodded to blood on me.
The made it clear what will happen,â I told her.
âGood,â she held her hand as I started walking. âAh ah ah you stay over there Annette will throw up the
dinner I made ber if you get any closer. My love go upstairs Iâll join you in a moment,â my mother spoke
to my wife.
Annette beaded upstairs and my mother came up to me. âYou will make a good example of these
traitors I presume?â
She artad me
I nodded
âWhat do they have. Simple intelligence would not have drove you to this,â she gestured to me.
They have photos of her, intimate photos. Theyâve been watching her since sheâs gotten here,â I
whispered to my
mother.
She backed wash from me anger painting over her. âDo what you must. I will watch over her with all I
have,â my mother turned and went upstairs to see Annette.
âAnd rinse off outside first donât stink up the house further, my mom called down to me and I smirked.
Forever a
I hosed off and showered washing twice for my wifeâs sensitive nose. If she had managed to keep her
dinner down wanted it to stay that way
She was laying under the cover awake still when I came to bed finally.
âWhat did they have?â she asked me
âTheyâve been watching you. Chovely I wonât let them live once I get my hands on them,â I promised
her pulling her so her head was on my chest by a sound her
âWhat else?â She probed.
âDetailed outlines of our defenses. Only my council had this information Netta,â I confessed.
She jerked her head up. âAre you sure?â She was unbelieving I could feel it, they had each welcomed
her with open arms long before I had.
âWho else knew about the extra defenses I put on our walls? Or that I was away helping Steven?â
She thought on that. âElizabethâ¦â
We both took our turns is the idea that someone we had both trusted could betray us like this.
âI donât think she could. She knows Grayson she asked me the day after my heat I lied but I donât think
she bought it. No one has said a word of me being pregnant to us so I donât believe it to be her,â
âI donât want it be any of them. I have trusted them all for my entire life. Elizabeth included, I growled
rubbing her back to sooth us both.
âMy mother suggested something,â she brought up. âShe says to tell lies to different people and
whoeverâs lie gets to the enemy they are our traitor,â
âA sound strategy,â
âMy mother has a good head on her shoulders,â she boasted.
âIf I knew she wouldnât slaughter half my pack to find the mole Iâd invite her here for council,â I joked.
âYou should,â Annette perked up.
âYour mother hates me. I was joking I do not want enemies inside and out Iâll never be sane again,â
âBut sheâll protect me with her life and she has a mind for strategy,â she bargained.
âYour brothers are enough and I donât think sheâll be good for James. He hasnât made much progress
but with her here babying him heâll make none at all,â I reminded my wife of her annoying youngest
brother
âSheâs coming once we announce Iâm pregnant either way,â she shot back.
She had me there and if I ever hoped to have a tolerable relationship with my mother in law I knew
better than to turn Annette down on that.
âThen she can help me then but I donât think sheâs good for James right now,â I insisted.
Annette let out a long sigh. âFine,â
It was tempting having her mother here to protect her, having someone blood related we knew we
could trust.
I think it was time to bring in someone we both trust.
