The sound immediately pulted my attention away from the conversation.

looked at Faye.

“Give me a moment,” I said.

She nodded, stepping back slightly to give me space, although she remained close enough that she w probably hear the conversation all the same.

I answered the call.

“Derek.”

“Alpha,” Derek greeted. “I hope I am not calling at the wrong time. Are you free to talk?”

I looked briefly at Faye before turning my attention back to the call.

“Yes, I am. Go ahead.”

There was a short pause before Derek spoke.

“I was able to make some arrests.”

My expression immediately changed.

“Continue.”

“She said the attack was meant to send a message. According to her, they wanted to make their

grievances known. She insisted that the intention was not to actually harm the Luna, only to frighten h enough to make the pack leadership pay attention.”

A scoff escaped me before I could stop it.

I found it ridiculous.

They wanted me to believe that?

A way to frighten her?

A silver weapon had almost touched her chest.

That was not a warning.

That was not an attempt to get someone’s attention.

That was an attempt to hurt or even kill.

The fact that someone could stand there and convince themselves otherwise only proved how far this nonsense had gone.

I took a breath and forced myself to focus on Derek’s voice.

“There is more, Alpha.”

“What is it?”

“They all denied any involvement from Jacob or the other older members who came to speak with you.”

I frowned slightly.

“From what I gathered during questioning, it seems the younger members acted on their own. They were angry, frustrated, and wanted to force the pack’s leadership to acknowledge their situation.”

I said nothing.

That complicated things.

Derek continued.

“As for how they knew the Luna would be traveling through that particular route at that exact moment.

He paused.

“I still don’t have an answer for that,” he added.

My eyes narrowed slightly.

That was the part that bothered me the most.

Their anger was one thing.

Their actions were another.

But the timing?

The location?

The fact that they knew exactly where Faye would be?

That was not something I could ignore.

Could it be a coincidence? I didn’t think so.

I remained silent for a moment before adding, “Thank you for the update, Derek. I will get back to you.

“Understood, Alpha.”

The call ended.

I lowered the phone from my ear.

I didn’t need to look at Faye to know she had heard everything.

She had been standing close enough throughout the entire conversation.

When ! finally looked at her, she was already staring at me.

For a moment, neither of us spoke.

Then she let out a sigh and shook her head.

I ran a hand across my face and let out a slow breath.

The conversation with Derek had only created more questions than answers.

“Now what?” Faye asked.

Her voice pulled me out of my thoughts.

I looked at her.

For a moment, I considered everything she had said earlier

The distance between me and the people at the borders.

The possibility that something had been happening without my knowledge. Even if that wasn’t the case, it was still better to sort this out face-to-face.

I made my decision.

“Go get dressed,” I said.

Faye blinked.

“What?”

I pushed myself away from the desk.

“We’re going to the border.”
