Chapter 0266
(Joey POV)
I am going to be Beta of West Mountain Pack. Me. ME.
Goddess, no matter how hard I worked the past few months, I never expected this. Nor did I think! deserved it. High school Joey was lazy, rude, and a bully. But now I am going to be Beta. Holy Goddess.
If it wasn’t for the seriousness of the situation, I would be jumping up and down. But alas, I had a job to do.
The first wolf to approach the microphone was Olivia Grace.
“My question is for Alpha Randall. How could you let everything get so out of hand? Why didn’t you do anything?”
Randall took a deep breath as he tried to fight the alpha command. His resistance was futile.
“Luna Jane caused Margie to have a miscarriage before Stephanie was born. Luna Jane felt guilty about it, and she wanted to do everything she could to make it up to Margie. That worked for a while, but Margie began threatening me that she would turn Jane into the werewolf council. I love this pack, but I
love Jane more. Much more.”
“Why didn’t you just order Margie not to go to the council?” Olivia Grace asked in confusion.
“I do not have the ability to alpha command someone not to talk to the council. Alpha commands do not
reach that far.”
Anita, one of the omegas who worked in the kitchen, then stepped forward. “My question is for Margle don’t understand your trafficking business. How long have you done it, and why?”
“I started it after Robert cheated on me the first time. I wanted to leave him, but I did not have any money to do so. I fell into it sort of by accident. It started off really small; just a girl or two a year. It only started to become a bigger thing in the past 12 years or so.”
“Where did you get the girls?” the next wolf asked.
Once again, Margle tried to resist. This time she held her hand to her mouth as tightly as she could, but
ultimately she had to answer.
“I included torture in Stephanie’s luna training by accident. She walked in on me teaching one of the
trafficked human girls a lesson; the girl had stolen money from me and tried to escape the home of one
of our johns. Stephanie asked me what I was doing, and I panicked. The first excuse that I came up with
was that I was setting things up for her luna training. I eventually told Stephanie about the trafficking
business, but that was several months after I told the original lie and I was stuck… especially because Stephanie really enjoyed the torture activities.
