All Chapters of The Alpha's Burden: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Zack POVI could not stand this. I could not leave Kristine in the dungeons. She was not meant to be there. She was innocent and innocent people did not go to the dungeon. “I cannot sit here and let this happen,” I said, standing up and preparing to leave my office. Jack and Connor stood up, “She wants to do this, Zack. Maybe you should let her,” Connor suggested.“Are you fucking kidding me right now? Leave her there? She does not belong there,” I yelled, needing to direct my anger at someone. “I know. But if she stays one night, it will be enough to let things settle,” he suggested. I looked to Jack, “Do you agree?” I asked. Jack put his hands in the air, “I just spent time there, so I am not one to tell you to leave her there,” he admitted.“I do think we need to figure out who the asshole is who is killing everyone,” he added. Seth stood, “I need to track down my mate,” he said as he started to move from my office. “Aren’t you the least bit concerned about your daughter?” I demande

Zack POVAfter leaving Kristine behind, I moved quickly towards the Pack house. I had watched as Andrea and Marcus had dragged Seth towards the dungeons but could not have cared less why. I ignored Andrea when she called out to me, instead focusing on Jack and Connor as they approached me.“Anything?” I asked them curtly. “Nothing. We went through all our records, anybody reprimanded had accepted their punishment without hesitation,” Connor stated. I sighed, “There has to be someone we are missing,” I replied. “What if we are not?” Jack asked. I looked at him sharply, “What do you mean?” I asked.“What if Seth is somehow involved? Or Kristine’s mother?” he asked. “Seth swears he has an alibi; Kristine’s mother would not have the strength to take out one of our strongest warriors,” I noted. Jack paused, “There is somebody else out there. Somebody who holds a grudge against Kristine, to try and frame her,” Connor said.“If they did, why take the long way around trying to incriminate Jack

Zack POVI stayed in my office for the entire night. I could not go to the room I shared with Kristine, because she was not there. Connor and Jack had stayed up with me, trying to figure out who could have such a grudge against us, they would resort to murder to get back at us. We came up with nothing.“Maybe it has nothing to do with us?” Connor suggested. “What do you mean?” Jack asked. “Maybe this has something to do with Kristine … or her parents?” Connor questioned. I considered what he was saying, “But why kill our pack members?” I asked. With a sigh, Connor shook his head, “That is the part that makes no sense,” he replied.“Keep thinking. You might be on to something,” I encouraged. “Where are you going?” Jack asked me. “I am going to see my mate and get her out of that fucking dungeon. She does not belong there; I do not care what Andrea tries to threaten me with,” I replied. “Tsk, tsk,” I heard from the doorway.Feeling my spine go tense, I turned to look at Andrea standing t

Zack POVWe had been at this for a couple of hours now, and no further ahead. I had our IT people go over the latest footage that we had secured from when Kristine’s mother went missing. It was a different angle, and we were hoping, somehow, for a miracle. We had gone through all the friends that the Luna might have met with, but none had seen her.“Alright. We know this is something big. But what? What would be bigger than hiding your mate’s children?” Jack asked. It was the same question we had been asking ourselves, but we had no viable answer. “This has been going on longer than when we found out Seth was our father,” Mike stated.“What do you mean?” I asked, desperate for any idea that might take us down the right path. “From the beginning it has always been about Kristine. Trying to hurt Kristine in some way, shape or form,” he summarized. We all sat, patiently waiting for him to continue. “Even these murders are about hurting Kristine,” he added.“What better way to destroy some

Zack POVThere was silence when the call was disconnected. “What the hell was that?” Connor asked, as we all looked at one another. “That was the murderer,” I replied as Andrea whipped around to look at me. “We have no evidence of that,” she stated before I cut her off, “You have an agent who has gone rogue, and you are going to sit here and deny the facts?” I demanded.“You are making a very big leap, based on a brief conversation,” Andrea stated as she folded her arms across her chest. I moved closer to her, “You know damn well that your agent is responsible for all of this!” I yelled. “What motive would she have to harm your pack members?” Andrea asked.“She is trying to frame Kristine for the murders,” I responded, taking a breath as I tried to calm down. “That is ridiculous,” Andrea said, moving away from me and heading towards the door. “Is it? You did not even know she had children; a family,” I stated, causing Andrea to pause.“There are a lot of things I do not know about my a
