Semua Bab My Stepsister's Betrayal: Bab 41 - Bab 50

EllisElena is so nervous, it’s taking all my energy not to slap her. She keeps wringing her hands and asking me to tell her that everything will be okay. Well bitch, everything is definitely NOT going to be okay unless we get that video back!“Ellis, what’s going to happen if Stephanie finds out what I did? Do you know how long that video was in here?”Goddess this bitch is stupid. I take a breath and get hold of my temper.“How would I know that, Elena? I just found video surveillance. I have no idea what’s on there or how long it’s been recording. As for what Stephanie will do if she finds out you murdered her father? What do you think she’ll do?”“Oh goddess!” she says and goes back to wringing her hands.I’m not sure the goddess could or would save you, Elena. I keep that thought to myself.When I hear the howl of my warriors’ return, I’m thrilled. I hope they got Lindsay and Jalen, too, but as long as they got Jameson, that’s all that matters.I race outside to meet with my hasti

Timothy“How long will you be away, Tim?” Priscilla asks.Our mate bond wasn’t easy in the beginning, but over time, Priscilla learned to trust me and realized that I’m nothing like Dylan. He may have loved her, but he betrayed his friends and allies, ultimately causing his death and nearly causing hers.“Just a couple of days, Cilla,” I say, caressing her cheek. “You know I hate being a way from you and our pups.”‘Our pups’ includes her two daughters with Dylan. After she accepted me as her mate, I adopted her girls, Heidi and Sonya. Heidi is twenty now. She found her mate and moved to live in his pack. Sonya is eighteen and hasn’t yet found her mate. Priscilla and I also had two pups of our own, both boys. Timothy Jr., or TJ as we call him, is nine, and Peter is eight.“I feel like history if repeating itself,” she says softly.I press a kiss to her forehead. “Let’s hope not, but we need to know for sure. If Alpha Steph’s Beta ran with his family and has some sort of evidence, whate

WillWhen we get back to the packhouse, I kiss Stephanie, then go to my office to call Austin and Roman.“So, the Beta family is safe,” Roman says after we’re all on the line.“For now. Will made a good point that Ellis’ men are still out there hunting for him. Plus, Beta Jameson said he heard the howls of the hunt even as he was making his way to my pack,” Austin says.“Do we have any idea where they might be?” Roman asks.“Jameson thinks they’re on the main road that goes east and west. He told me that his previous Lead Warrior caught him at that road. He was following the river north, and when he crossed, the Lead Warrior and his team cut him off. They talked and the Lead Warrior believed him that he didn’t kill Alpha Steph. He let Jameson go but told him to make it look like they’d fought. Their scents would have been stronger and there would have been blood in that area, so I would guess that is where they picked up his scent.”‘Stephanie, who is the Lead Warrior in your father’s

WillThe moment Stephanie found the bag, I felt her disappointment.‘It’s soaking wet, Will. It’s ruined,’ she says in the mind link. I can hear the defeat in her voice.‘Bring it down anyway, beautiful. Let’s let Timothy tell us if it’s been completely destroyed. Investigators have access to methods that we don’t to get information. Even if he can’t do it, he may know someone who can. Don’t get discouraged. We’re not giving up.’I feel my mate get hold of her emotions, then begin to climb down.“Stay alert. She’s on her way down,” I tell the warriors. I have no intention of letting my mate get injured on this climb. If she hadn’t been right about her size compared to everyone else, I would have insisted that I go in her place. But, as usual, my mate made a very good point.My heart stammers when I watch her lose her footing as a branch gives way underneath her, but my mate is strong and she was able to hold on with her claws.When she’s low enough, she drops the bag into my arms. She’

WillIt took a long time for my mate to fall asleep last night. The guilt and grief were rolling off her in waves. I have my own guilt for not doing more to help Alpha Steph, but I don’t regret putting my family first. Whoever is responsible for poisoning Alpha Steph would have had no problem poisoning my mate and pup.In the morning, I can feel her fatigue on top of her overwhelming grief, but now it’s layered with determination.While she nurses Kayla, I crouch in front of her.“What can I do to help you get through this?”“Find whoever did this and make them pay,” she says, keeping her voice soft as she gently rocks our daughter.“There’s no question about that. I’m going to meet with Jameson and Timothy this morning and set the wheels in motion. We will find whoever did this and we will have justice for your father, Stephanie, but what about you? What can I do for you to help you get through this?”She looks down at Kayla. “I’ve been thinking about what you said, that whoever poiso
