Chapter 71

Allison's POVIt has been a while since Peterson left. I thought I heard sounds of a scuffle coming from a different room, but my inferior Omega senses made it difficult to make out much. I could only sit, testing the strength of the chain behind me.Suddenly, the door opens and a huge, unfamiliar man walks in. I tense up immediately."Who are you?" I demand."The one that led the operation to kidnap you," he replies casually."What do you want from me?" I ask. "Even you must realize that Peterson is being stupid by hiring you for a mission like this.""If I was working for that asshole, I would have said it's all for the money," he replies. "But I'm here because he's been put out of commission."My blood runs cold.Did they kill him? Are they going to kill me too?"If Peterson didn't hire you, then who exactly are you?" I ask."Arnold," he replies, as if the name is supposed to mean anything to me."And what do you want from me, Arnold?" I ask."I don't have any business with you, Lu

Chapter 72

Allison's POVI've been pacing from one end of Xander's living room to the other for what feels like forever. It's a surprise that I haven't worn a hole into his carpet yet."Miss Carter," Alice says from where she stands against the wall, "you need to calm down....""If you tell me to calm down again, I will bite you!" I scream, digging my hands into my hair.How am I supposed to calm down when Xander isn't back yet? He was going up against all those werewolves on his own when we left. Who knows what could have happened to him by now?"Miss Carter," Alice tried again, "the Alpha wouldn't want you to worry about him. He's more than capable of taking on a few wolves."When she took me out of that place, I had insisted on being brought to Xander's house. That way, I would know the exact moment he returns.I stop pacing and sink to the floor, burying my face in my hands. I feel so helpless.Alice approaches me, but she seems at loss about what to do. Her hand hovers uncertainly over my b

Chapter 73

Xander's POVI can't stop thinking about Catherine's words as I drive back to the mansion. If there's one thing she was right about, it's that my mother would choose to believe her over me. Mother has always wanted me to marry Catherine, because she's from one of the oldest and most powerful families in the pack.Mother was disappointed when we broke up, and would only be too happy to believe that I somehow slept with Catherine during our time apart, and left her with child.There are ways for me to prove that if at all Catherine is pregnant, it's not for me, but Mother would surely get in the way of that.And once Catherine gains Mother's support, there will be nothing to stop her from blackmailing me with father's death.If I'm going to get out of this situation, I'll need an ally whom I can trust with the secret of how my father died. The first thought that comes to my mind is Allison.I reject it immediately.I've put Allison through enough. I won't drag her into this as well. How

Chapter 74

Rachel's POVThere is nothing more difficult than going to work the next day. Normally, I would have used my position as Xander's assistant as an excuse to spend as much time as I can with him. But now I just want to stay away from him every chance I get.It doesn't help that I still haven't figured out how to get rid of Catherine.I've sent spies after her for now, though, and the plan is to uncover her worst secrets and reveal them to Lady Evelyn.Once she sees that Catherine is not what's best for Xander or the pack, she will withdraw her support and Catherine will be kicked out of the city. Maybe I can even convince Lady Evelyn to transfer her support to me, so I can be Luna instead…I don't think you still want that, Rachel, I think. It's obvious Xander hates you now.I've finally escaped to my office, where I open my messages, only to learn that the three spies I hired to follow Catherine have all gone missing. Damn it. I know she's dangerous, but who makes three people disappea

Chapter 75

Allison's POVDamn lesser computers, I think, punching on the keys of my system.Usually, the kind of computer I'm using wouldn't be a problem when I'm trying to hack. But it's clear that Catherine has gone to great lengths to make information about her difficult to access. What the hell is she hiding, literal skeletons in her cupboard?"Miss Carter?" Alice calls.I jolt, looking up from my computer screen."Any problem?" I ask."No, Miss Carter," she replies. "But it's lunch time."I blink at her, then glance over her head at the clock hanging on the wall."Oh," I say, "it is lunch time."Just how long did I spend trying to get through Catherine's firewalls? This is the first time I've been challenged like this.Well, bring it on, I think. When it comes to tech and computers, I do love a good challenge.Alice and I walk out of my office, heading to the cafeteria. As we walk down the hallway, the crowd of staff members parts, clearing a free path forward.Huh.That's new. They must ha

Chapter 76

Allison's POVRachel clearly wants me to stop looking into the camera issue. And am I going to do that?Um… no.First of all, I don't take orders from Rachel.I do my own thing, and I'm too curious to stop looking into this. Besides, I'm the only one in this company skilled enough to get to the root of this matter, so I'm going to do it.After she leaves, I continue digging deeper, trying to peek into the hacker's end from this side. I end up losing all track of time, and before I know it, Alice is alerting me that work hours are over.I could have continued working anyway, but well… Xander is waiting for me.I log out and leave the control room with Alice, armed with two new pieces of information. The first is the name that had come up while I looked into the cameras.Wallace Fisher.The second is that Rachel really is suspicious. With a capital S.……One of the best parts of my day is when Xander drives me home. He has been doing that lately, since I began to run out of strength due
