131. The Aldairs

Tabitha’s POVI know Wilson Stoll has been close with the Aldair brothers since childhood. His mother is Alpha Emery’s younger sister, which makes him practically family. He is supposed to be loyal to the Aldairs. That’s why it boggles my mind every time I recall seeing him talking to my mom at the market the other day.What could they possibly be talking about? Why would a close relative of Aldair speak to someone, my mom, who is trying to tear their family apart? It’s shady no matter how I look at it.I glance at my mom and see that she and Alpha Emery are deep in conversation with Alpha Yoseff Beckett and his wife, Luna Irina Beckett of the Stormblood Pack. My mom smiles politely as she speaks. It’s both amazing and terrifying how she just seems to fit so perfectly in this world. Almost as if she had prepared all her life for this.But I guess she did.I swallow and remind myself to breathe. Tonight is supposed to be about appearances. Whether I like it or not, I am part of this wo

132. A New Cooperation

Tabitha’s POV“Ladies and gentlemen,” Alpha Eliott announces, lifting his glass once more. “Allow me to introduce our special guests tonight. Augustus Kingsley and his son, Andrew Kingsley.”The room responds with polite murmurs and raised glasses, but I barely hear any of it. I am too busy staring at Andrew standing beside his father. My brain lags behind the sight in front of me, as if it needs a moment to process that my friend is standing at the center of this gathering of Alphas and power players. What’s crazy is that they’re humans! And the kind who are probably not aware of the existence of werewolves—much more the fact that they are surrounded by them right now!Andrew scans the crowd until his eyes land on me. He smiles and winks. I manage to return a shaky smile. He has no idea that this place is brimming with predators. During the Tropical Thunder Circuit, there were plenty of humans around, but tonight is different! This is an all out werewolf gathering with only a handful

133.The commander

Tabitha’s POV“History leaves marks. Most of ours are carved into docks and patrol routes. Kaelara sits along a corridor that smugglers once used. Clearing that took years of coordination and a navy willing to stay and follow orders to heart.” Alpha Emery explains. “I’m lucky to have competent men in my base. Most of them were also born and raised on the island before they went to navy school and eventually got assigned here.”Augustus hums. “You must’ve done a good job as the commander if they’re willing to follow your orders without complaints.”“They understand the weight of our duty. Clearing patrol routes is essential not only for the sake of safety, but for the businesses and livelihood of other humble residents too.”“Those patrol routes changed everything for us. Before that, shipping schedules were uncertain and mostly dangerous due to the presence of pirates. Now we can move freight without building losses into every contract,” Yoseff Beckett agrees.“Fishermen sleep at nigh

134. Sharpe Cave

Tabitha’s POVRhett takes the lead the moment we step away from the table, and everyone falls in line behind him like a migrating pack that already knows the route. No one questions it. They just follow him.I keep my mouth shut although a part of me is already itching to ask a lot of questions.I trail after them as we leave the ballroom and spill out into the Sharpe estate grounds. Evening air settles on my skin as more than two dozen of us move across the stretch of land.Andrew slows until he is beside me. He looks equally confused.“Do you have any idea where we’re going or what this cave thing is?” he asks, glancing ahead.“Honestly, I don’t,” I say, shrugging. “I’m just going with the flow.”We keep walking until a massive structure comes into view. It looks like a cabin at first glance, but that word feels wrong the longer I stare. The front is tinted glass framed by dark wood and steel lines that curve into a cave-like shape. It feels like contemporary design swallowed a moun

135.Nerds

Tabitha’s POV“I did make a few modifications after the circuit,” Rhett admits.“I knew it!” Andrew snaps his finger. “Hey about the Huayra…”Jace snorts beside me as we all watch Rhett and Andrew locked in frenzied car talks. Rhett looks animated in a way I have never seen, talking with his hands and grinning when Andrew keeps up.“Nerds,” he mumbles.“You’re just a car dummy,” Luca counters. “You don’t understand the beauty of automobiles and know a thing or two about the art of machines.”“At least I know how to drive a car and a motorcycle without slamming into the guardrails.”Luca glares at him and flashes a middle finger. “Fucker…”“Hey, party people!” Reed returns with a beer in hand and scans the room with a grin. “Damn, I miss this place,” he says.“Yeah,” Jace says, nodding.As the brothers appreciate the scenery, I also take my time to marvel at Rhett’s mancave. The layout stays open from wall to wall, with no partitions breaking the space but different tile colors mark ea

136. Happy Hour

Tabitha’s POVI end up going to the restroom after all. It takes a while because my hands are shaking and my thoughts keep spiraling. I stare at my reflection and breathe until my chest finally settles.Wilson’s reaction keeps replaying in my head. My hunch is right. He and Mom are tangled in something they should not be. The way he panicked earlier says everything. If that is not guilt then I do not know what is.After at least ten minutes, I wash my hands and leave the restroom. I head back to the arcade.There are more people inside the arcade room now. At least seven others crowd the room while the brothers are already deep into their games. Reed and Luca are still racing in the simulators while Jace is shooting hoops at a basketball arcade game. I also spot Evren hammering buttons on a fighting game that looks like Mortal Kombat. Or maybe Street Fighter? I’m honestly not sure.Just as I scan the room for another game to play, a light gun shooter catches my eye. Perfect! After my

137.Games

Tabitha’s POVTheir smiles drop. Reed smirks. I see anger flash across their faces before Ren grabs his friends and drags them out of the arcade.“Pathetic,” Reed spits.Luca and Jace walk up as the door swings shut.“What was that?” Jace asks.“Some clowns asking for Tabi’s number,” Reed replies.“Pathetic,” Jace says.“Forget it,” I say. “It’s not a big deal.”They exchange looks. None of them agree but no one argues.We play a few more games in the arcade before moving to the bowling alley. After a while my throat feels dry.“I’m thirsty,” I announce.“Let’s go grab drinks, then,” Jace says.We head back to the main area. The moment we step in, party music blasts through the speakers and alcoholic drinks are being served to everyone, along with some light snacks. Even Andrew was being handed a shot of tequila and lemon wedge. The lights also begin to dim and I look up, amazed when I see the ceiling opening up and revealing a huge disco ball.“Let’s goooo!” I hear Evelyn yelling fro

138.Explosive Truths

Tabitha’s POVI wake up with a bad case of hangover. It’s my fault. When I chugged down my first few shots of tequila last night, I thought that I could take over the world and now I am paying the price.I drag myself downstairs for water while my head is pounding with every step. I spot Greta and Rose setting a bowl of soup on the counter like they already expect me to go here at this exact moment. The steam alone makes me feel marginally human again.I mutter a sheepish thank you as I sit on the counter and inhale the delicious scent of soup.“Where’s my mom?” I ask.Rose hands me a spoon while Greta pours me a glass of water which I immediately take a swig.“She’s with Alpha Emery,” Rose answers. “They’re talking in his study.”I frown. Mom is talking with Alpha Emery?I glance down the hallway that leads to the study, its door closed and quiet, and for a second I consider walking over. But of course I don’t. If they’re in there, then they must be talking about something serious. I

139. Target

Tabitha’s POVMy hands ache by the time the impromptu target shooting class finally ends. Out of roughly fifty attempts I manage to land about ten shots. None of them hit the circular target on the chest but a few catch the legs and one clips the shoulder. It is not impressive by any standard. Still, if those mannequins had been real people I would not have killed anyone, but I at least would have hurt them enough to buy time, and right now I decide that counts as survival.“Not bad,” Luca comments.“Yeah, I’m done.” I hand the gun to Evren and he disassembles it quickly.“God, I’m starving after all that shooting,” Reed complains, rolling his shoulders.“Of course you are,” Luca replies dryly.Reed flips him off.Wilson straightens and lifts a hand.“I’ll head inside and see if they’ve got any snacks,” he volunteers and he doesn’t wait for everyone’s reaction before he starts walking towards the mansion.“Hey, can you get me some water?” Rye calls out.“And ask Rose if she can whip u

140.Midnight Rendezvous

Tabitha’s POVI can’t stop myself from pacing around as the clock strikes at midnight. I’m supposed to be at Hakai Pier by this time, but here I am still in my room! I’m getting too used to getting late.I glance through the window and notice the silhouettes of guards posted and roaming around the mansion. I’m not sure if I’m only noticing this now or there have always been guards stationed outside the mansion. Either way, I won’t be able to sneak out of the estate at this rate.I need to find a way to get out of here and meet with Wilson. I don’t fully believe his words, but there is a nagging feeling at the back of my head that keeps screaming for the truth, and for now, Wilson feels like the only key that can unlock it.“Ah, damn it,” I mutter under my breath as another minute passes by.I’m not gonna accomplish anything by staying here.So I do the smartest thing I can think of and sneak out of the window.My room sits high enough that the ground looks farther than I would like. I
