BOUND TO THE RUTHLESS ALPHA 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 121 - 챕터 130

Darius’s PovAfter the interrogation we moved Kayla to a secure guest room where she would stay under guard. I didn't trust her yet but Soraya was right that we could use her connection to the Patriarch. If Kayla was willing to help us then we finally had a chance to get close to him.I called a meeting with my top people. Dante was there along with a few warriors I trusted completely. We gathered in my office and I explained the situation."Kayla has agreed to help us" I said. "She's going to continue reporting to the Patriarch but now she'll be feeding him information we control. We're going to use her to set a trap.""Can we trust her?" one of the warriors asked."No. But we can use her. She's scared of the Patriarch and she doesn't want to die. As long as we keep her safe she'll cooperate.""What's the plan?" Dante asked."Kayla is going to tell the Patriarch that Soraya's seal is about to break. That it's critical and could happen any day now. The Patriarch will want to be here w

Darius's PovI woke up early with Soraya still asleep next to me. She looked more peaceful than she had in days and I was glad she finally got some rest. I carefully got out of bed without waking her and went to take a shower and change clothes.By the time I was dressed and heading downstairs Dante was already waiting for me with a serious expression that told me something was wrong."What happened?" I asked."Three pack members didn't report for their shifts last night. We sent people to check their homes and they're gone. No sign of a struggle and no indication of where they went.""Who?""Marcus from border patrol, Sarah from the kitchen staff, and one of the newer warriors named James. All three were on the eastern border yesterday doing routine checks."I felt my jaw clench. "Someone took them.""That's what it looks like. We tracked their scents to the border and then they just disappear. Like they vanished into thin air.""That's not possible. Scents don't just disappear.""I

Darius's PovAfter Marcus was found at the border we got word that another one of the missing pack members had returned. Sarah from the kitchen staff showed up at the main gate in the middle of the night asking to be let in.The guards called me immediately and I went down to meet her. Dante came with me and we both had weapons ready just in case this was some kind of trap.When I got to the gate Sarah was standing there looking normal at first glance. But when I got closer I noticed her eyes were wrong. They were unfocused and glassy like she wasn't really seeing what was in front of her."Sarah" I said carefully. "Where have you been?""I went away" she said in a flat voice. "But now I'm back. The master said to come back.""Who's the master?""The one who makes us better. The one who fixes the broken things."It was the same thing Marcus had said before we took him to the medical building. Whatever the Patriarch did to them it made them talk the same way like they were reading from

Darius's PovLate that night after most of the pack had gone to sleep I got a report from one of my guards that Matteo was holding a meeting in the old storage building near the eastern border. Several pack members had been seen going in and out over the past hour."How many people?" I asked."At least twenty sir. Maybe more.""And you're sure Matteo is there?""Yes sir. We saw him arrive first and he's still inside."I looked at Dante who was standing next to me. "He's making his move. Gathering supporters for a challenge.""Do you want me to break up the meeting?""No. Let them talk. I want to know who's willing to betray me so I know who to watch.""That's risky. If he gets enough people on his side he could actually challenge your position.""Let him try. I've beaten every challenge so far and I'll beat his too."But I was more worried than I wanted to admit. Matteo was smart and he had been planning this for a while. If he had managed to turn twenty or more pack members against m

Darius's PovI was in my office going over security reports when Dante burst in looking angry and worried."We have a serious problem," he said."What now?""Someone has been accessing our security systems from inside the mansion. They've been deleting footage and covering their tracks pretty well but I finally found the evidence."I stood up immediately. "Show me."Dante pulled up his laptop and showed me logs from the security system. There were gaps in the footage from the past two weeks. Entire hours had been deleted especially around the times when important things happened."The night Sarah came back and killed herself" Dante pointed to the screen. "All the footage from the main gate was deleted. Same thing happened when Marcus returned.""Someone didn't want us to see something.""Exactly and look at this. Footage from the eastern border has been deleted multiple times. Always right before or after we discovered something important.""How long has this been going on?""At least
