Hayden's PovWhen I finished watching the videos and listening to the audio, I knew that I had to do something about the snakes in my park. But first, I needed to get that bastard who tried to kill my Luna, Simeon, or whatever his name is, before I could put the other pieces of the puzzle together. I will use him and get them to confess their crimes. I grabbed the books and pictures that I had gathered on the motherfucker, and since we know his real name, getting information on him was easy. There was this note in our library when we hosted the moon ceremony, and many packs were in attendance. Abel and his father had escorted their Alpha. My father had written the vices of the men in attendance and sent it to his brother, Uncle Josiah. For them to know what to keep an eye on in all of them, Abel had women and greed written beside his name. I looked at all the pictures in front of me, and he had a woman hanging from his hand in all of them. Most of the pi
I could hear my father asking and saying something, but I ignored it and he must have taken a hint and did not mind link me.I was about to ask Josh to ring the bell so I could send a general message to everyone through the mind link when I felt someone pushing at the back of my head. It turned out to be Lucien."What?" I asked him."Did you send Peter here?" He asked me."No, why would I send Peter where my twins are? Is he in your house?""No, not yet in. But he is on his way here.""How did he get through your gates?""I did not think that he would come here, so I never told anyone not to allow him in. I would have gone outside and brought him out with me, but I am helping my mate wash the dishes."I would have laughed under normal circumstances, but since Peter was going to where my children were, I had to do something fast."Don't worry, I got this," I said, then started mind-linking Peter immediately."Alpha, he answered."Where are you? It does not matter. Come immediately to t
Ana povThe bell started to ring as we were talking, and Joe touched Hayden's hand."I know I do not say this very often, but I am proud of you."Hayden looked like he was going to have a heart attack from the face he was making. I guess his father has never said something like this to him."Your grandchild must be rubbing off on you for you to talk about being proud of anybody."Joe scoffed but said, "Maybe?"I wanted to laugh, but I did not want to interrupt a father-son moment, so I held it in.We heard a knock on the door, and Hayden stood up immediately and rushed to the door, but when he looked at me, it was like he caught himself. He was not wearing a shirt, but that was normal for male wolves; they hardly wore shirts since their bodies were always hot, but then I was wearing a nightgown since I was not going anyway today, and he was giving me a look that meant, Go change."Who is it?""Doctor Joel and two nurses, go get dressed.""I thought that they
Alex PovI stood up and looked at the clock because I did not think that I had slept that long for it to be four o'clock already, but he was correct."I see you at the meeting," Joe said and headed to the door."We should get going then," I said and stood up, but Hayden pulled me back."It's already evening; everywhere will be cold outside. Go grab a jacket or coat.""Nope, I feel fine; carrying a jacket for a meeting that may just last for a minute is not on the list of things I want to do.""Why not? The meeting is going to last more than a minute, maybe up to an hour, because I want to instill fear in a lot of people," he said.I gave him a look. "What are you up to, Hayden? Why do you need to input fear into anyone?"He shrugged. "For many things.""Like?" I asked him."Like making sure that no one tries to kidnap you again, poison the twins, or even tries to gun you down.""Okay, let's go then," I said because I trusted Hayden. He knows what he is doi
The part about writing out the expenses we made was starting to cause confusion, So Hayden started to clarify what he meant. "I did not ask you to write out everything spent; just put everything bought for your family together and put an estimated amount to it. That way, we can work together to find the culprit."He explained everything to them and told them that anyone caught trying to send their money illegally or carrying it out of pack would be punished, So send it through the true means.After about forty minutes, the meeting ended."Alpha, don't we get energy drinks for standing so long?" A girl who was about six or seven years old said.Everyone started laughing, including Hayden, and the girl's mother started dragging her out of the place, but Hayden called the woman back."Leave her alone Tabitha, and Grace, yes, there should be energy drinks and snacks. So you are free to grab any snacks of your choice and an energy drink from the pack store.""Say thank you, Alpha," said t
Hayden povI settled down into the chair and then called him back because he had been blowing my phone while I was eating dinner with Lexie. I guess it was because I threatened him when I spoke to him at Lucien's place about the tracking of all the cash leaving the pack. ***"It's already set up Alpha, and I also added a feature where we are alerted about every transaction as soon as it's done.""Good job," I said, "but I have another one for you.""What is it, Alpha?""I need you to create a job about killing someone that will seem so believable and add a reasonable amount of money to it. Be generous with the cash.""I don't understand," Lucien said.I finished the rum in my glass and placed it back on the table. "Find an asshole that deserves to die; put a hunt on his head; say something like he killed your kid or your brother, and you cannot seem to get over it even though it happened ten, nine, or eight years ago; take your pick. Put a reasonable sum of mo
"Watch where you are going," he said, holding me from falling back.When I looked at the face, I could not help calling his name."Josh, what the hell? How come you don't look when walking?"He barked a laugh as if he were in disbelief. "Please, you were the one that ran into me, and I saved you from falling on your bum, and you are asking me if I do not look; please make it make sense.""Gosh, you talk a lot," I said and tried to walk past him, but he held my hand.I tried to snatch my hand back without turning, but he was not having it."Let go of me; what is wrong with you?" I yelled.He pulled me back and covered my mouth with his hand. "Jeez, you scream so loudly for such a short she-wolf."I hissed, snatched my hand, and started walking off, thanking God that he finally let go, but then he appeared in front of me again, and I ran into him.This time, he did not hold me, and I fell on my bum."So sorry." He apologized and stretched out his hand to pull me up, but instead, I pulle
I grabbed the drink from his hand and took a sip from it to calm my insides. I had not examined what kind of tea, which is unlike me; it could have been poison and I would have drank it without looking, but it turned out sweet, so I looked at the remaining liquids at the bottom of the cup."What kind of tea is this? It's really sweet," I asked him."I don't know; my mom bought most of the things in my house, including this tea. She blended a lot of the things into the dried green tea, but I have forgotten what she mentioned."I tasted cinnamon on it," I said, and he shrugged."I did too, but as for the rest, I did not pay much attention," he said."Do you want to play a game?" He asked me."What is it? Truth or dare," I continued. "Do you want to dare me to pull my pants off?""It is not truth or dare, and if I wanted you to pull your pants off, I would not need to play a silly game. It's an Ouija box game where you have to do anything the alphabet on it says.""Is there another paper
