Kayson's POV

I want you to work with the security team to review the pack's security measures," I told Thane. "See if there are any weaknesses that could be exploited and I want you to interview the pack members who have been directly affected by these accidents. See if they've noticed anything suspicious."

Thane nodded, his eyes already scanning the room as if searching for potential suspects. "I'll get started right away, Kayson."

I turned to the rest of my advisors. "I want the rest of you to keep your ears open, see if you hear anything and I want you to be careful. If there is a traitor in our midst, we don't know what they're capable of."

My advisors nodded, their faces serious. We all knew the stakes, If there was a traitor in the pack, it could mean serious trouble for the pack.

As the meeting adjourned, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease. Who was behind these accidents? And what did they want?

I walked out of the conference room, my eyes scanning the hallway. The pack wa

With a sob, he spilled the truth."It was the Rogue pack," he gasped, his eyes pleading for mercy. "They orchestrated it all. I was just paid...paid to do their dirty work."My mind raced with questions, but before I could ask any of them, the prisoner dropped a bombshell."Luciana," he whispered, his eyes darting to me with fear.

I felt like I'd been punched in the gut, my breath knocked out of me.I tried to process the information, but my mind was reeling. Why would Luciana do this? Ws it because...?? No..

"I see you're ready for me."I smiled, trying to appear submissive. "Yes, alpha, I've been waiting for you."He walked over to me, his eyes roving over my body. "Good, I'm glad to see you're eager to please me."I poured two glasses of wine, trying to keep my hands steady. "I've poured us some wine," I said, trying to sound seductive.
