Kianda had been outside the Pack–house when King Alwin arrived, and when Luna Hester had demanded answers, she had opened a link to me. I am still surprised at the accusations she made towards me, and I am glad Kianda was there to contradict her words. I never wanted any of this to happen, but it did. I doubt any of this would have come to light if Donovan had just accepted me as his Gamma. I wouldn’t have been hell–bent on finding answers.
The most surprising thing was to hear Luna Hester say that I am the rightful Alpha, but I was even more surprised when Elinor didn’t ask her Mother what she was talking about. Did they tell Elinor, or did Elinor figure it out on her own? And if she figured it out on her own, what made her suspect something was wrong? Yeah, eavesdropping on that conversation left me with more questions, and I am not sure where I should start looking for those answers.
“Zalia, care to explain what Luna Hester meant by you being the rightful Alpha?” King Alwin asks, and I hear Deimos chuckle into my hair.
“Something funny, Deimos?” Alwin asks, and he just shakes his head.
“Nothing at all, Your Majesty,” he mumbles, and I look around the room to see that Dad still isn’t back, but I am also missing Axelle.
“Your Majesty, I think it is best to discuss this at the Palace or at the trial, and I think Axelle would like to be present,” I answer him.
I would prefer to talk about this at the Palace during the trial and make sure I get all the answers I need before I explain Luna Hester’s remark. It will complicate everything for all of us, and I am not sure if Ammon will be too happy with what we might discover because a part of me still hopes that somewhere, somehow, someone made a mistake.
“Hold on, Dad. Did you just say that Luna Hester said that Zalia is the rightful Alpha of Moon Stone Pack?” Ammon asks.
“Ammon, I don’t have all the answers yet. I am not sure if everyone’s assumption is correct. I need a lot more answers than what I have gotten so far, and I don’t know what we will actually find if we do get answers. If–and that is a big if–I am the rightful Alpha of Moon Stone Pack, I am not sure if I want the title. I was never raised to be an Alpha, and even though I care for our Pack–members, I am not sure if I can or want to be responsible for them,” I tell Ammon.
“She is right, Ammon. We still have a lot of questions that need answers, and I am not sure if we will ever find all of them,” Dad tells him, and I see King Alwin staring at him. I think this gave him more questions than answers. However, he seems to understand he will not get much else out of us, and he asks if we trust Beta Fred.
“He joined Moon Stone Pack around the same time I did, and he has never done something to make me doubt him,” Dad answers.
“Dad, when did you install those cameras?” I ask him, and every head in the room snaps in my direction.

“We need to find out if our other prisoner was the one who bugged the Pack–house. If last night was the first time he showed up. I want to know who planted those bugs,” I tell him.
Dad tells me he placed them the year Slater went to his first meeting, that he wanted to make sure no visiting females would try something in regard to Slater.
Deimos looks a bit funny at Dad until I tell him that males have never been interested in a female that can kick their ass.
“Thank the Goddess for that,” he mumbles into my hair.
“Eryx, how is the rotation for the Guards of our prisoners?” I ask him, and he asks me why I want to know
that.
“I am just assuming that you put them in the darkest part of the Palace dungeons,” I say, but as he shakes his head, he grabs his phone and orders one of the Warriors to place them where I want them to go.
“Make the rotation of their Guards shorter by half an hour every time. They have no idea what time it was when they were put in the cells, and I want them to think they are there a lot longer than they actually are -mainly during the night when they are sleeping. They will use the change in shift to keep track of time, so make sure the Guards don’t mention times or dates,” I tell Eryx, and I see a huge smile appear on his face before he tells me that he likes my way of thinking.
Liam asks Leander and Deimos to follow him to the Alpha floor. He wants to go through every room there is, and I tell him which room belongs to whom. King Alwin takes Sila and Eryx with him to the Alpha office, and Dad tells him there are two hidden safes in the office–one behind a painting directly behind
his desk and one hidden in the floor under his desk.
Asha and Ammon stay with me and Dad on our floor, and Asha asks me if I enjoyed the competition.
I tell her how I managed to fool everyone and that Alpha Brad never asked to see my device. I tell her about my travels through the night, how amazing it was to see everything through Twilight’s eyes–that I saw so many differences in how Packs run border patrol, the difference in their security around their Pack- house, and the lack of security inside the Pack–houses.
When Ammon asks me how I managed to get onto their floor and into his room, I have to disappoint him.
“I think it is best if we discuss it with everyone present and preferably at the Palace. I think your Father would like to take action the moment I have explained how I got there, I know I would if I were in his shoes,” I tell Ammon, and he growls a little at my response. Sounds like Ammon is more like the King than he would like to admit–neither one of them likes to be told to wait for answers.
King Alwin
I am not sure if I understand why Zalia was willing to take a risk, but I do understand that she wants to bring them to justice if they carry out their plans. I just don’t understand where her Alpha aura came from.
Her Father is the second Son of an Alpha, and with the power behind her Alpha aura, she has to be the rightful Alpha to a Pack. Only an Alpha can have that much power in their aura, and I think I finally understand why Alpha Brad always felt off to me and Axelle.

Liam woke us all early this morning to make sure we would get to Moon Stone Pack on time. Zalia didn’t want to give Pack–members a chance to start missing their Alpha, and as I drive with Liam to Moon Stone Pack, he informs me that they had another unexpected visitor in the middle of the night.
“Deimos believes he had the same intentions, but he didn’t do his homework when it came to Zalia. Deimos believes she could have handled him without anyone interfering.” Liam explained.
The moment the Warriors walk out with the three males, I recognize their unexpected visitor–Rocco of Sundown Pack–and something starts to nag in the back of my head. I shake it off because I have more things to do, and when I want to ask Zalia a question, she points at a sleeping Deimos. By the time I get impatient. Deimos finally wakes up, but I still have to wait until my Son and his Mate return, and I am getting a little more impatient as time passes.
I should have known I wouldn’t get any answers today, but I was still holding on to hope, and the moment Zalia points out that Axelle isn’t here, I know I need to do something to keep myself busy.
“Sila, Eryx,” I say. “We are going to search the Alpha office. I want to find out as much as we can about this Pack and their leadership. No offense, Benjamin,” I say as I look at him.
“None taken. Your Majesty,” he replies before he tells us about the two safes Alpha Brad has in his office.
Liam, check the entire Alpha floor for any hidden safes. There are two in the Alpha office,” I tell him through the mind–link. If Alpha Brad was hiding something all these years, it will be hidden somewhere safely, but I doubt it will be in the Alpha office.
My Warriors step aside the moment we get to the Alpha office, and Eryx is the first one to enter. Sila doesn’t waste time getting to both safes. Both of them have a keypad, and I doubt anyone knows the codes to either of them, but I send one of my Warriors to the Beta floor anyway.
It only takes him a few minutes to return, and the look on his face tells me that I will not like what he has
to say.
“Luna Hester said she didn’t know the codes, and if she did, that she wouldn’t tell you,” he says.
Before I can respond to it. I hear Sila on the phone.
“Get your ass down to Moon Stone Pack. You need to open two safes in the Alpha office and maybe more if we find them anywhere else,” she says into her phone, and I know that those safes will be open before the end of the day.
I sit down on the chair behind the desk and start to go through every piece of paper on the desk. Sila empties every drawer in the room, placing everything on the coffee table in front of Eryx. Once she is done, she joins Eryx in sifting through the papers, but none of us find anything that could explain any of what happened here. The only thing I do find is that this Pack is a healthy Pack–not really wealthy but with enough finances to keep it running.
This Pack doesn’t own a business of their own, but they have made some smart investments, and that is what keeps enough money coming in to keep this Pack healthy. Sila and Eryx find some papers with ideas from Pack–members to get more income for the Pack, but all of them are stamped “Not approved,” and we all wonder why Alpha Brad didn’t want to make this a wealthy, self–sustaining Pack.

Sila even finds their bookkeeping from the past two years, and we find out something else that doesn’t make sense for a Pack this size.
