Greta had learned one important thing since the previous night.She needed to act normal.No matter what was happening inside her head, she couldn't allow anyone to see it. So she walked through the mansion as though nothing had happened.Her face remained composed as she carried a basket of folded linens through the hallway. She greeted the servants she passed and even managed a polite smile when one of the maids spoke to her.Inside, however, her heart was pounding.The maid is dead.Every time the thought entered her mind, she pushed it away.She couldn't afford to think about it, she couldn't afford to look frightened and most importantly, she couldn't afford to give Max a reason to suspect her."Greta."She stopped and her heart jumped. Slowly, she turned. Max stood at the end of the hallway with three guards behind him.Greta forced herself to smile."Beta Max.""Come with me” he said plainly.She glanced at the guards."Why?""I need to ask you some questions” he replied.Greta
Becca remained completely still as Eugene's words seemed to hang in the air between them."Tyler is in love with you."She stared at him, unable to immediately process what he had just said. She slowly looked toward the cradle beside her."I didn't know" she said.Eugene's expression hardened."You didn't?" He asked."No, I didn't" she answered. "You never suspected anything?"Becca hesitated."Perhaps...I noticed he was different with me" she said.Eugene's eyes narrowed, his jaw tightened and Becca noticed."You asked me to be honest" she said."I am listening" he replied. "Tyler always seemed concerned about me and I thought that was simply because he's a good person" she explained. Eugene scoffed."Apparently, it was more than that" he said.Becca sighed."I suppose I should have guessed."Eugene's eyes sharpened."You should have" he replied firmly. Becca looked at him."But I'm not angry" she said.That immediately caught Eugene's attention."You're not? Why?" He asked.She
Jack had barely made it halfway down the hallway before his anger began to boil over. His footsteps struck the polished stone floor with enough force to announce his frustration to anyone nearby.He had been released but instead of feeling relieved, he felt furious. His hands curled into fists."Desmond."There was no doubt in his mind..Whatever information had reached Alpha King Eugene about the missing maid had come from Desmond and Jack knew his former master well enough to understand that Desmond never did anything without a reason.He threw me under the bus.Jack's jaw tightened. After everything he'd done, this was how Desmond repaid him? By making him look like a murderer?"I should have known better," Jack muttered.He continued walking, but after a few steps, some footsteps caught his attention.Jack glanced over his shoulder to see a guard was walking behind him, not close enough to look obvious, but close enough.Jack's eyes narrowed."Max, you bastard"Of course. Max didn'
Becca rested against the pillows, one hand resting protectively over the blanket covering her legs. Her body was still weak, and every movement reminded her that she had only recently survived childbirth and a frightening loss of blood.But she was smiling. Her son was sleeping peacefully in his little cradle beside her.After Mira had come back, she sat nearby, sorting through a few things the maids had brought for Becca.Becca glanced toward the doorway."Where did you go?" She asked.Mira looked up and hesitated."I went to speak with Alpha King Eugene" she answered. Becca's eyebrows rose."Why?""Because of Jack" she replied. Becca immediately became concerned."What happened to Jack?" She asked. Mira sighed."He was arrested. They accused him of having something to do with the missing maid" she explained. Becca stared at her."Jack? That's ridiculous" she said. "What did Eugene say?""He said he hadn't authorized the arrest so he was definitely angry" she answered. Becca fro
The dungeon fell silent after Eugene entered. It was obvious they had not expected to see him here. "Release him" Eugene ordered. Max remained frozen for a moment while Jack stood beside the chair, his wrists still restrained behind his back.The tension between the three men was almost suffocating and Eugene's eyes remained fixed on Max."I won't repeat myself."Max immediately nodded in obedience but before the guards could move, Eugene stepped farther into the room, his expression was cold."Why did you arrest Jack without my authorization?" He asked.Max swallowed."I believed the circumstances justified it" he answered. Eugene's jaw tightened."That wasn't my question" he said and Max hesitated. "What made you believe you had the authority to arrest one of my people without reporting to me first?""I thought—""I didn't ask what you thought" he cut him off.Max lowered his gaze."Forgive me."Eugene looked toward Jack then back at Max."Did you discover new evidence?"Max nodd
The dungeon was colder than Jack remembered. The further the guards took him, the heavier the air seemed to become. His footsteps echoed against the stone floor as they passed through a narrow corridor.Jack kept his hands restrained behind his back, his jaw clenched as he tried to remain calm. 1He had already made up his mind, he wasn't going to lose his temper, je wasn't going to allow anyone to provoke him into saying something he shouldn't and most importantly, he wasn't going to confess to something he hadn't done.One of the guards stopped before a heavy iron door."Get inside" he ordered. Jack's eyes narrowed then he stepped inside and the door slammed shut behind him.Jack immediately realized something. This wasn't Desmond's section of the dungeon. He slowly sat down and he took a deep breath."Stay calm" he told himself. The door opened again and Max entered with two guards standing behind him.Max carried his notebook in his hands and he placed them on the table."Jack,
The weight of being watched never left Eugene’s shoulders.Even as he and Max moved through pack town with measured steps, their baskets filling with supplies which comprised of dried meat, medicinal herbs wrapped in cloth, bandages, and rope, the sensation crawled along his spine like a second ski
The door had shut with a sharp, echoing thud and silence rushed in immediately enveloping the space.Becca stood rigid in the center of the bedchambers, her shoulders squared, her chin lifted in defiance that she refused to let crack. She could feel the weight of the room pressing on her with its
The night held its breath.Torches burned along the stone walls of the hideout, their flames flickering violently as if even fire could sense the fury brewing between the Alphas standing face to face. The cold air was thick with tension, so thick it felt like it could be cut with a blade.Eugene s
The first scream cut through the strategy chamber like a blade.Eugene’s head snapped up instantly, his instincts roaring before his mind could catch up.“That wasn’t from the outer tunnels,” Dorian said sharply. “That was inside.”Robin swore under his breath. Sax straightened from the map table,
