“I don’t know about you, but I need to burn off some energy or something. I can’t just sit here.” I said. I felt in my bones that Alec was the one who took the photos. But Joe and Malachi were both against it. They could see my point, but this was one of theirs. A close, personal friend who had had their backs for so many years.
But now the new girl comes in and stirs shit up. I would need to tread lightly going forward. Collect my own evidence without them knowing.
“What do you suggest?” Joe responded to me.
“You’re not going to like it.” My stoic face slowly turned into a grin.
“Ugh,” Joe said, rubbing his temples. “You’re trying to kill me on my first official day as your beta.”
“What?” Malachi asked. “What is she suggesting?”
“Sparring.” Joe and I said in unison.

I had constructed three main plans and four back up plans in case shit went down. As soon as I saw who Murphey brought with him, I would be able to finalize everything. For the past hour, I was working off the map that Malachi printed off. I had him print ten more to make sure I was set. He seemed so uptight. Even after our little office fucking. I knew he didn’t want to have to kill anyone. He just wanted to live in peace. But I believe that’s why we were fated for each other. I balanced it out, I could do the things he couldn’t or didn’t want to do. My main goal for the next two days was to end this feud with Roan. I wanted Malachi not to have to worry about his pack and having to constantly be on guard. That’s no way to live. One way or another, I was going to end it for him. I would take Roan out personally, just to give him that sigh of r
“We deal with secret operations daily. We have seen things that normal people don’t even know exist. What’s one more secret that we have to keep?” Harlow turned to stare at Alec. “Even though some of them are jackasses, I would trust them with my life.” “Same,” Joe said as he also looked over at Alec. “Mal, what do you think?” Alec asked, as if he had asked mommy but she said no, and now he turned to daddy. “I think it’s something that we need to do. I don’t want this to be an ongoing problem. I want to finish this now so we can move on as a pack.” I stared at Alec, who stared back. The look on his face was as if I pulled the rug out from under him. “How fast do you think they can
I don’t think I’ll ever get a break from the chaos that is my life. I have been dealing with one thing after another since I took over this pack. Other packs tried to attack us. Roan wanted to take over the whole wolf world. I found my mate, which wasn’t a bad thing, but her stubbornness made things a little difficult. Don’t get me wrong, I love her, I’m happy I found my mate, but couldn’t it have been at a less stressful time? And not to mention that stalker issue that has someone within my borders helping them. I looked over at Harlow and Joe discussing the next plan. “I think we should table the whole finding out the whole who is the stalker thing and focus on getting the Roan situation under control,” Harlow said. Joe
My arms weren’t strong enough to get him to release his hold on my torso. Thank god I am flexible; I brought my leg up and hooked it around one of his legs and pulled. Joe grunted loudly, trying to keep his legs locked. But he couldn’t hold it. I was free. I rolled away and jumped to a standing position. “Kick his ass!” Malachi yelled. The others cheered along with him. Joe slowly made his way to a standing position and glared at the slowly forming crowd. “Didn’t think it was going to be that easy, did you?” I yelled at him. He didn’t answer, he just wiped his arm against his still-bleeding nose. He looked down at his arm and then at me. His eyes were now glowing.&nb

As we rode back to the pack house, my thoughts were reeling. Who would want to go against the pack? They all knew what would happen to them if they were caught being a traitor. It was hard to focus on helping Harlow pack a ridiculous number of weapons that now lay nestled in the back seat next to her duffle bag of clothes. She sat in the passenger seat, clutching the new envelope with the pictures of us in it. I thought through the numerous pack members and who would be capable of this sort of treason. I crossed off Alec, Joe, and Julie. Those were the closest pack members to me. I thought about my previous girlfriends, but none of them knew about Harlow yet. “What are you thinking about?” Harlow asked, pulling me from my list of suspects. “I’m listing the pack members and trying to determine i
