Names unconfirmed at time of writing. I stopped reading. Stared at the page. Read it again. Slower this time. Like maybe I had misread something. Like maybe the words were going to rearrange themselves into something that made more sense if I gave them enough time. They didn't. *Wait.* *They....they were spies??* My parents. *Professional intelligence gatherers.* *No loyalty. No allegiance.* *Sale of collected intelligence to highest bidder.* No. Something in my chest pushed back hard. No this isn't..

Author's POV “There's a spy amongst us,” Ethan had revealed to the three men he trusted within the bikers. The men raised their heads, their faces crumpling in confusion and disbelief. They never believed that with everything they had been through together, there would still be someone amongst them who was willing to betray them at all costs. “You are surprised, aren't you?” The men nodded. “I'm equally surprised too, but the presidents suspect that there is a spy amongst us and honestly, I think so too. Our crops being destroyed must have been done by someone within the pack, though the former Alpha might have ordered it.”

And I hated myself for thinking it, for letting suspicion creep into a friendship that had once felt unbreakable. I couldn’t even remember how we became friends. It had happened so naturally. She was one of the techies who frequented the cafe where I worked afternoon shifts when I was in school. We started talking in passing, then in longer conversations. Before I knew it, I was spending my weekends at her place on my days off. Even when I married Charles, the visits never stopped. Patra knew all my secrets. She was the only one who knew I was married to Charles Baker. The only secret I kept from her was my role as a spy.

This time, she agrees to play her part, even though I know it’s a lie. But then again, two can play that game. You know how they say you can only defeat your enemy when you draw them close… and strike when they least expect it? Exactly. That’s what I’m planning to do. Nothing about today spells disaster—at least not after a hearty breakfast and letting Rhea and Sage talk me out of my head. My plan for the day is simple: go see Zia. I could really use a friend right now. But I can’t trust her. Or maybe I did trust her… but what sane person would stay on my side after finding out I’m a fucking spy sent into their pack, and now I’m stuck here after handing over a stolen relic? Stupid, right?

” he asked. I scoffed. “I needed to confirm something.” I replied. A cough escaped from his voice while he talked. “To confirm what?” “To confirm that you are the spy leaking information all along.” I yelled, standing up and furiously teleporting towards him. He scoffed, nearly laughing. “Yes I spied! Is there anything wrong with carrying out a royal assignment?” he flared. His eyes bigger than usual. He was equally fierce. I had never seen my dear friend wear such an expression towards me.

I replied quickly. “I’ve been a victim of quite unfortunate circumstances. Staying here allows me to finally make ends meet for myself. I've been hiking since morning. It explains why I’d arrived when I did.” The man shared a look with his fellows, and I heard a voice in the darkness, but I failed to make out who spoke. “She seems clean.” “That’s how most dangerous spies are,” another voice echoed. “They all look clean at first glance.” “I promise, I’m not a spy,” I said again, a little louder.

Rather, Luna shrugged and went back to cleaning. As if nothing had ever happened—here or with Sara. I needed to cry. I needed to break down. I couldn’t be undercover right now, not after what I just learned. I finished cleaning and left the room. I threw an excuse about period cramps over my shoulder to explain my abrupt exit to Luna and Sophie. Alice, however, knew exactly why I was leaving. I had just learned my best friend was killed so a man could be elected as governor. So, his dirty little secret wouldn’t come out. I wanted to find Governor DeSimone and kill him. I wanted to choke him and watch the light leave his eyes.

"If you want to keep your friends safe, I'll advice you to stay put and do as you're told. Remember, I've got the lives of your friends on the palm of my hands. They're in the world I've created for them and will do whatever I ask them to. Your friend Amy is walking by the lake right now. Would it be fun to make her believe her best friend is drowning inside the lake? She'll jump right in to save you won't she? Poor pregnant Amy." Ivy screamed and crumbled to her knees. "I'm the one you're after. Let my friends go!" She yelled. "Oh, that's up to you. Give me what I want and you can have your miserable friends back." She said. Of course, she knew she wouldn't give her any information about th

“Yeah, I do. I wish he had just talked to me sooner instead of sending a spy after me, and now it’s got me questioning every interaction I’ve had, every strange moment that I’ve encountered recently.” There were a few moments of silence between us as we all processed this information. I felt awful for dragging my friends into this. All I could hope now was that we could find this spy and send them back to my father. I had to make him see that I was not going to roll over and let him invade my privacy like this. “You know,” Luke suddenly said, “we’ve been seeing this yellow-eyed wolf recently all over Mountainview. It’s an elusive little bugger, though. We haven’t been able to catch it, or ev
