All Chapters of Cheating on a Frenzied Alpha, Pregnant with his Child: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

SERENA POV"The chief administrator of Kael's office."Thomas's words hung over the courtyard like smoke.Marcus stared at him. "Are you certain?""I saw the name on the authorization register. I maintained territorial records for seven years. I know how those documents are formatted, and I know whose names belong on them.""Then say it," Daniel pressed.Thomas hesitated. Mara tightened her grip on his hand. "You don't have to do this alone."He looked at the inspectors circling Gideon Rusk, then back at us. "Leonard Pike."Marcus swore under his breath, and I rounded on him. "You know him?""Of course I know him. Leonard has run Kael's correspondence and approvals for nearly four years. Anything needing the Alpha's office to authorize spending, personnel changes, or territorial operations passes through his hands.""Could he issue relocation orders in Kael's name?""He could prepare them. He could reach the authorization records." Marcus's jaw flexed. "But he couldn't legitimately ap

SERENA POV"The relocation order was issued against the entire village where the Pack Advocate office is supposed to open tomorrow."Kael's words left me staring at my phone, my pulse stuttering."An entire village?""Every household. The order authorizes clearance within forty-eight hours.""Who signed it?""Leonard Pike's credentials were used. Marcus's office got a copy this afternoon, but nobody flagged it because it was entered as an emergency territorial safety measure."I sat forward in Adrian's passenger seat. "Safety measure? What danger?""That's what we're trying to establish."I stared through the window at the blurring buildings. The village was Briar Glen, home to the residents who had volunteered to back Daniel's Pack Advocate initiative. They'd offered their community hall, big enough to hold families from the surrounding settlements. And now someone had ordered every one of them out."They're retaliating," I said."It's possible.""Kael, don't give me the careful answ

"Leonard Pike owns Northgate?"I stared at the corporate registry on Marcus's phone, certain I'd misread it.Daniel took the phone and frowned. "Victor Hale is listed as Northgate's controlling shareholder. Leonard controls Hale's parent company. That's an indirect link, and we need the full ownership records before we decide what it means.""Then get them," I snapped. "People were imprisoned, their homes threatened, their compensation stolen, and someone used Kael's office to sign off on all of it.""I've already requested the certified records," Marcus said."And Leonard?""Still missing."I pressed my fingers against my forehead. We had rescued Elise, Nathan, Thomas, and the others. We'd secured the relocation register, halted the evacuation of Briar Glen, and opened Daniel's Pack Advocate desk. Yet every answer uncovered another person who'd profited. 'At least we're not starting from nothing this time.'"What can Nathan tell us about the money?""He's recovering," Daniel said. "H

SERENA POV"Serena, Leonard's last payment went out this morning. He's still moving money, and we have to stop him before he disappears."Daniel's warning replayed in my head as I grabbed my handbag."Where are you?""Heading to the financial office with Marcus. The inspectors are securing the original records, but Leonard's account has already pushed the money out.""To where?""That's what we're trying to find out."I glanced at the ultrasound photograph on my bedside table. Hours ago I had been sobbing over that tiny gray flicker. Now I was about to charge back into a mess that could swallow the whole Blackwood territory. I hesitated. Adrian's voice came back to me: you can't keep treating your body as though nothing has changed.'Fine. For once, I'll listen.'"I'm coming," I told Daniel, "but I'm not sprinting around the territory all day. Send me the address."A pause. "Did you just agree to look after yourself?""Don't make me regret it."He chuckled. "Sending it now."I was lac

SERENA POV"We have less than twelve hours to catch him."Daniel's words hung over the conference table like smoke.Marcus was already on the phone with the authorities while two inspectors gathered the papers recovered from Leonard Pike's abandoned car. Adrian stood beside me, reading the departure itinerary on the monitor. I stared at the scheduled time until the numbers blurred."Can they stop him from leaving the country?""If they obtain the order in time," Marcus said, ending his call. "The itinerary gives us a destination, but we still need to know whether he booked under his own name."Daniel tapped the travel bag photograph. "He carried multiple identification documents. He may not use this one.""Then what are we waiting for?" I demanded. "He's running. He diverted the money. We have his instructions and his signature. Why can't someone just arrest him?""Because we follow the law," Marcus said. "Botch the arrest, and his lawyers will pick the evidence apart one mistake at a
