Xavier's POV

"What was so important that it couldn't wait for the weekend? You know John's still in custody. We shouldn't be meeting like this." I heard Claire say to the man.

"Were you followed?" He asked instead of answering her.

"Of course not. Do you think I'm an idiot?" Claire replied offended.

"Did you bring it?" He then asked.

"Yes." She sighed and took something out of her purse.

"Now, what are the orders?" Claire asked as she handed the small item to the man.

"Is this everything you have?" He asked instead of answering her question again.

"Yes, David. Now, what are my orders? Why did I have to give all my research up?" She asked. I could sense a hint of desperation in her voice. That was not the Claire I knew. What was going on?

"Oh, Please. You and I both know, as well as my superiors that you would never give up all your research this easily." He smirked at her.

"As valuable as my work is for me. Our cause is more important." She growled and stepped closer to him and threate

    Zoe's POVAfter changing two trains and showing our papers at the border of our new pack, Dad and I took a taxi to our apartment building.It was in a nice area, in the fairly wealthy part of the city. We paid for the taxi and made our way to the elevator. "Hold it!" Someone called right before the door was about to close. I placed my foot to stop the door and someone rushed in a hurry and thanked me, "Thank you so much," the fairly young girl huffed and fixed the folder she was holding."No problem." I smiled even though she was not looking at me."Zoe? Zoe Simmons? Is it really you?" The girl asked and I looked at her surprised."Angelina? What are you doing here?" I asked and we both smiled at each other excitedly."What am I doing here? What are you doing in Golden Eclipse Pack?" She asked excitedly."I got transferred to this pack. I am officially from Golden Eclipse now. New beginnings and all that." I told her."Wait, really?!" She exclaimed. Dad was watching the whole interact

    "Joe." Dad smiled formally and balanced the stuff in one hand to free the other hand to shake Lawrence's, "And my daughter, Zoe.""Nice to meet you both." He smiled. He was about to say more but his phone rang and upon seeing the caller ID he excused himself, "It's my new manager. Gotta take this. See you guys around."And just like that he unlocked the apartment right next to ours and slipped in while talking on his phone. "Maybe it will all be truly better." Dad sighed and turned to open the door of our apartment."Not bad." He commented and placed all the things from his hands on the kitchen island."Yeah. But not home." I sighed. I missed the place I grew up in, surrounded by woods. Where would I run when I needed to clear my mind, now?"But it can be." Dad came up to me and held my hands like he used to do when I would fidget anxiously and he would stop me by holding my hands.I nodded and hugged him, "Home is wherever you are." I told him and he hugged me back. I felt like I was

    Xavier's POV"Where are you taking me?" Claire asked in a small voice but received no answer.The ride to my cabin was tense. My thoughts were jumbled up and she was fidgeting in her seat. A man was dead. I had mind-linked Luca to clean up that mess and find everything about that man as soon as possible. I wanted to know everything that was going on in the territories of these neighboring packs. Were my people in danger? What was Claire truly up to?When we pulled over, I silently led Claire inside and locked the door.My eyes stopped for a second at Zoe's portrait that I had painted here. The only reminder of the pure and destined emotions and passions that I had experienced."I missed this place. It has been so long since we were last here. Do you remember when you-" She started nostalgically but I interrupted her in a monotone,"Give me your purse." "Xavier?" She asked as if she was surprised that I was acting like this."Your purse. Now, Claire." I repeated.She opened her mouth

    Zoe's POV"Dad, the lunch is in the fridge, warm it up when you want." I called out as I grabbed my coat from the hanger."You know, you didn't have to wake up so early to cook breakfast and lunch. I'm the one who taught you how to cook. I am quite capable of cooking for myself." Dad came from his room and gave me a hug."I know. But it doesn't hurt that you need rest and I wanted to do something for you." I kissed his cheek and grabbed my purse, making sure that I had my phone and every important thing with me."You have done so much for me already. Best of luck for the internship." Dad smiled at me as I opened the door to leave."I haven't done half as much as you've done for me. And, thank you. I hope my new bosses are better than the ones I've had in the past." I smiled as I left the apartment."I'll pray for you." He said and locked the door after me.I took a deep breath and walked towards the elevator. I wanted to hope for the best but given my history, I was expecting the worst

    Xavier's POVI let Luca in and his worried voice sounded in my head through the mind-link,"Alpha, I'm afraid I've got seriously bad news." Got straight to the point.I let my hands through my hair and sighed. What was the worst that could happen after the way Claire had betrayed me?"Lay it on me, Luke." I ordered."Alpha. I found the identity of the man. He wasn't easy to find out, even for me. His name is David Malarkey. He works for the Alpha King's intelligence. He is a part of the elite squad working on questionable werewolf research, among other things.""How questionable are we talking about here? And what other things?" "Questionable like real wolf experiments. And other things like live witch experiments. That was the gist of what I was able to find out in this time frame. I am still on it. Looks like there is a huge dark pit of information where this came from. I've got a few guys working on it currently.""Luke, what was this man doing with Claire?""Alpha, I'm not exactly

    Zoe's POVI was led through the lobbies and a few sets of stairs. Everyone seemed to make way for the man walking beside me. I was right, he was someone important here. He walked with grace and confidence like he owned the place and it reminded me of the way Xavier used to mingle with his pack. He was kind, sweet, and genuine with those people. Until he decided I wasn't the one for him."Penny for your thoughts? You seem to be lost in your mind." My companion smiled charmingly at me and I looked at him like I had just realized that he was walking with me as well."Yes, sorry. First day at work. What were you saying?" I asked after politely apologizing."First day, huh? I knew I hadn't seen you before. Don't worry. You are dressed for the job and if you are here, know that you deserve to be here." He supported me and I appreciated his words."Thank you." I nodded grateful for his words."You do know where you are right?" He leaned in conspiratorily and I got a whiff of his pinewood-sce

    Xavier's POVI was overwhelmed by the thoughts of things Claire did. My Claire.Had she always been capable of this atrocities and I had been the blind one?But one thing I couldn't understand was that, why did she do it? What was the end goal? I had gone through the rest of the data, skipping past the rest of the video logs.I found no reasoning or the name of any authorities. Before taking any further steps I needed to figure out why had Claire done all this. And more importantly why was she back because after overhering her acquaintance, I was sure that she did not return just because she missed me.I walked back to the basement where I had her locked up.I noticed the empty chair that I had cuffed her to and panicked a little. "What the-" Something hit my head, hard, and I stumbled looking behind me."Claire?" I growled."I'm sorry, Xavier." She didn't sound apologetic when she threw a liquid at me that burned making me growl in pain on my left shoulder that I had used to protect

All she told me was that I had been referred by a close friend and she hoped that I lived up to the refrence.

After all, we lived on the same floor now.Laura had asked Misha to give me a general tour of the event and everything that was expected of me before meeting her to see the primary client."So, now you tell me what you remember of everything that I told you." Misha stood with his hand on his hips waiting for my response after he had given me an hour-long tour."Alright," I took a deep breath and started counting on my fingers, "Tell me where I'm wrong." I asked and he nodded for me to resume."We are at the pack house of the Golden Eclipse Pack because Alpha's middle sister is getting married in a month." Mished nodded and urged me
