Semua Bab My Stepsister's Betrayal: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Stephanie“I’m going to assume, since you come recommended by Tim, that I don’t need to worry about my sister going off with your Beta,” Jeremy says.“My Beta is a good man. He wouldn’t be my Beta if he weren’t,” Will says, taking my hand and leading our group inside.“Well, it was bound to happen eventually. If she’s mated to a Beta, that means I’m losing my assistant. But Mel’s been hoping to find her mate, so I’m happy for her,” he says as we walk into Will’s office.“Have a seat,” Will says.“Have you eaten, Jeremy?” I ask.“No, Luna. When Tim called, Mel and I just hopped in the car and came over. I'll get something to eat when I leave.”“Nonsense! While you’re here in our pack, we’ll make sure you get fed. I’ll make sure Edward feeds your sister too,” I say, linking my Beta quickly to let him know Melissa hasn’t had lunch, then linking the kitchen omegas to make trays of food to bring to the office.“I take it you haven’t found your mate yet, Jeremy?” Will asks him as we get sett

StephanieWhen we finished our meeting with Jeremy, Edward and Melissa walked up. I knew immediately that she was planning to stay. I’m glad. I’m happy for Edward.Jeremy let us know he’d be in touch when he had information or every couple of days to let us know what he was working on to keep us updated on the case.After saying goodbye to Jeremy, Timothy heard back from his technological person.“Are you okay with me taking this information to her so she can work on it?” Timothy asks.“Her?” Will asks.I raise an eyebrow. “Making assumptions, my love?”“I would never be so chauvinistic,” he says, pulling me to him and kissing the top of my head.I laugh and hug my mate before turning back to Timothy.“How long do you think she’ll need?” I ask.“It depends on how much damage there is. She’s about an hour away from here. I can go drop this off and be back in time for dinner.”“I don’t want you going alone. I’ll send warriors with you, just in case Ellis is watching our pack,” Will says.

StephanieI watched Will walk out of the dining hall to answer his phone. Since I can only think of one reason he’d need privacy, I watch him, waiting to see if he’s gotten any information.When his eyes meet mine, I’m up and moving before he can link me.“Luna?” Melissa asks. Since she’s my Beta and was a private investigator with her brother, I nod for her and Edward to join us.Will sees our group coming and tells the person on the line to hold on a moment. When we get to his office, he closes the door and puts the phone on speaker.“Jeremy, I have Stephanie, Melissa, and Edward here with me.”“Hello everyone.”We say hello and Will gestures for us to sit.I sit beside him and he puts the phone on the table.“Okay Jeremy, tell us what you’ve found.”“I found a bartender who remembers Elena and Ellis. Mostly, he remembered Elena because, as he put it, ‘She was hot and here alone’. He remembered that Elena didn’t look happy with Ellis’ attention at first, so he was paying attention to

Stephanie“Are you kidding me?” I ask my mate.“I’m not. Jeremy is apparently mated to the previous Luna, Abbie.”“Well, this is all very serendipitous, isn’t it? First Melissa and now Jeremy found their mates because of this investigation,” I ask.“I would never say that I wanted everything that has happened to happen, but it does seem like it’s brought at least two mate couples together. At least something positive has come out of all this negativity,” he says, wrapping his arms around me.“We’ll have to plan a trip to Benedict and Sloane’s and bring Edward and Melissa so she can meet her brother’s mate.”“I love that idea. Let’s do it as soon as all this shit is done. I got a call from Jada, Timothy’s tech person. She said she’s slowly getting through the video feed, but there’s a lot of it. She’s willing to send what she’s got so far if we want it …”“We want it,” I say quickly.He smiles. “That’s what I told her. At least then, we can start going through the hours and hours of fee

StephanieWill has pulled me away from watching the video more often than anyone else. It’s so hard for me to see my father’s decline, so hard to see Elena bringing him his ‘drink’ every day, acting like she loves him and is trying to take care of him when she was actually poisoning him.Will told me about Jameson getting choked up while watching. He intended to pull him off, but when he said something about it, Jameson said it was a time when he and dad were laughing about something that happened. It was one of his last positive memories of my father.I should have realized that it was right before the weekend that we went to Benedict and Sloane's because that’s when dad had gotten better for a short time. When I start watching, the timing is right before our phone call to him when we left that weekend, the one where we had tentatively planned to stop in and check on him but he’d been doing so well that we didn’t. In hindsight, it would have been good to have dropped in and realized t
