Chapter 0262
(Luna Jane POV)
I was shocked when several members of the council admitted to purchasing females from Margie, and when they admitted to being blackmailed to do her bidding.
I knew that Margie had blackmailed Randall and I, but I had done something to deserve it. Trafficking females and blackmailing council members went far beyond what Margie had done to Randall and I.
How could Margie… my best friend… do any of that?
As I listened to the confessions, I kept waiting for a logical explanation. When it was said that Margiel had communicated with them by phone to avoid being alpha-ordered, I thought I had found what I was
looking for. Obviously, someone was impersonating Margie. Perhaps it was Sheila, or even Stephanie for
that matter. But clearly it could not be Margie.
But then Nick stepped forward and played the recent audio recordings. That is when my heart completely.

mentioned details that Stephanie and Sheila would not know.
I could not stop the tears from flooding down my face. How could my best friend -and our pack’s beta

participate in the discussion and investigation of your leadership.”
Was the alpha command the reason that Randall was so angry at James and Lily?
Randall stood and addressed James and Lily. “There is no need for an investigation. I formally rescind my title as alpha of West Mountain Pack and name you, James Anderson, as my successor.”
“Thank you for making that part of the process easier, Father. I accept the position as Alpha of West Mountain Pack.”
