AriaI left the packhouse feeling like a total wreck. Daniel had once again rejected me, using harsh language and insinuating that I was behind his parents’ decision to promote me to female Gamma status, a rank that had never existed.His words had a hidden meaning. Was he implying that I had something to do with the attempts against Andy and his mother? If he did, he was not just a jerk. He was the worst male pri.ck ever.“What the heck, Alicia? Is that your way of having fun? Turning every little step I make to get closer to my mate into a disaster? Do you think you can stop me this way? Let me tell you that the more you put obstacles in my way, the merrier. It will be a sweet victory after I succeed,” I sneered,  talking to my predecessor.“I wouldn’t be so confident if I were you. Aria. So far, Daniel hasn’t responded to you the way you hoped. And I bet you will lose in the end, dear. I will be the winner of this bet, mark my words. I am merely giving you a taste of your own medici

LeaI never expected things to turn out that way. When we left for the mall, I thought we had settled all the details of Luna Sarah’s abduction. I even left the cafeteria and guided the stupid asses on how to make a move on her.I found the opportunity and took her phone out of her bag when she gave it to me to hold and placed it near my feet. That would make Daniel’s mother return to the parking lot to look for her phone. I created the perfect opportunity for them, and they blew it. They fuck.ing blew it.When Aria came looking for Andy and me, she said she couldn't find Daniel’s mother. That gave me hope that Erick’s men had captured Luna Sarah.Everything led to that conclusion. Luna Sarah’s car was gone, and Alex took us back to the Opal Moon pack. We arrived at the pack, and there was no sign of Luna Sarah’s car.I felt at ease and entered the packhouse, awaiting the news of Luna Sarah’s kidnapping. I walked upstairs to Daniel’s room and lay on the bed, waiting for Daniel to come

AriaI went to my house, knowing I had a lot of explaining to do. Ella and Valeria had witnessed something incredible and they wanted details. Alpha Jackson had asked me to keep the attack against his mate a secret from the rest of the pack. Ella had been my trusted friend though, and I was sure she wasn’t any different in this life. As for Valeria, she ranked as my second best friend and she would keep the secret to herself.“We have the coffee ready and Valeria baked us a cake,” Ella said when I entered the house. It surprised me to see my best friend moving so comfortably around Valeria. She barely knew her.“You are their connection, Aria. That makes things easier for them,” Tania said and I smiled. My wolf was, once again, correct.“So cut to the chase, Aria. What happened today? And don’t tell me nothing happened because I don’t think Alpha Jackson took a hasty decision based on Luna Sarah’s feelings. I won’t buy that excuse.” Ella looked at me, crossing her arms.“Ella, let her

Beta JasonI looked at Aria suspiciously, waiting for her reply.“Beta Jason, you are a good person and I hate lying to you. Haven’t you noticed how Alpha Daniel treats me? He is prejudiced against me and if you tell him my suspicions I am certain he will think I want to slander his girlfriend. We need to make sure our assumptions are correct and have solid evidence before telling him anything,” she blurted out, keeping a straight face.I kept silent, pondering her words. Aria was right. Daniel was aggressive towards her and most of the time doubted Aria’s good intentions. We needed to investigate first, ensure Lea drugged those men, and then tell Daniel.  I would do a background check on Erick Williams and see if he was related to Lea somehow. “Okay, Aria, let’s do it your way. But I will tell Alpha Jackson. He must know,” I replied.“Will he keep it from Daniel? If you explain why we want to keep it from him, will he agree to keep it from Daniel until we are sure she is the culprit?

Aria“I knew it. I knew she was connected to Erick when I saw them at dinner,” I whispered my thoughts and Daniel’s father approached me.“What do you mean, Aria?”“She seemed anxious and was giving him funny looks. Did she tell you or Daniel that Erick was her uncle?” I questioned.“No, she didn’t. She pretended not to know him,” Daniel’s father and my dad said in unison.“Why would she hide her relationship with him if not for the reasons we mentioned? What if Erick is behind the attacks and Lea is his informant, Alpha Jackson?” I looked at him.“Please forgive me for asking you these questions, Alpha. Since you asked me to be part of the investigation, I thought it best to clarify everything to understand why someone would do such a thing,” I explained.“We need to investigate further. Maybe I should tell Daniel about Lea and Erick’s relationship,” Alpha Jackson replied.“I think you shouldn’t, Alpha Jackson. If you tell him, he will confront Lea, and she will tell Erick. And if Eri
