Graham:
The next call I made was to none other than Elgin.
“Hello? What is it?” His voice sounded off, strained in a way that immediately caught my attention.
I checked the time on my wristwatch. “Dude, are you okay?”
A short pause followed. “No. Just tell me what it is.”
My foot began tapping against the ground without me noticing. “I figured out who’s behind spreading the news about our downfall. I found out whoever’s been making sure things keep going wrong for us.”
“What do you mean?” A hollow laugh slipped out of him. “There’s more shit happening behind our backs?”
That laugh told me enough. Whatever conversation he had with his father-in-law clearly hadn’t gone well.
“Remember how everything’s been blown out of proportion lately?” I leaned back slightly, eyes shifting toward the window as we left Ron’s pack and headed home. “All of it shaping one neat little narrative.”
Silence.
“Guess who’s behind it.”
Another pause, it was longer this time.
“I can’t even guess. Just tell me,” he muttered, exhaustion weighing down his words.
I shifted in my seat, a slow smile spreading across my face. “It’s the same bitch that had planned her own gangrape.”
The words barely left my mouth before I heard him grunt on the other end.
“You swear?”
He inhaled deeply, and I knew right then I’d made the right call telling him.
“Yes. I swear.”
For a moment, there was nothing but breathing.
“Good,” he whispered finally in a low grunting tone. “Thanks for telling me where I can take my anger out.”
The line went dead.
I leaned back against the seat, letting the phone drop into my palm. I didn’t need to get my hands dirty this time. There was someone else more than willing to do it for me.
After the journey, when I reached home, I found my mate angry, waiting for me in the bedroom.
“Where were you?” Kaylee said as I headed to the bathroom.
“Why did you take so much time? You were supposed to come back sooner,” she added.
“Why are you rushing into a shower? What are you trying to hide?” she said, following me.
I did not have time for her at that moment.
I rushed into the bathroom and took a shower.
By the time I came out, she had fallen asleep.
That was good.
I checked my phone.
I was going to record enough conversations between Yuvonne and Sherry to prove she was conspiring against an Alpha.
Then I would use them to blackmail her.
It would be a sweet journey to her home, probably every night.
These were supposed to be her days of happiness, but Yuvonne had taken that from her.
If anything, she should blame Yuvonne.
I noticed their eyes were still on me.
“I found out who was spreading Kaylee’s video of bowing down to Madeline nonstop,” I said.
Kaylee turned to me, hope in her eyes.
She probably thought I had forgotten about her.
I had been more focused on my own reputation and why things were spreading about me.
But this would benefit her too.
It was a win-win.
“I have conducted a legal investigation,” I said.
“As an Alpha, it is my duty to find out who is conspiring against an Alpha and his Luna. That reporter, Sherry, is being paid heavily to damage our reputations,” I mumbled.
“Don’t worry. I’ll fix everything,” I said, gently patting her shoulder.
She swiftly pulled her seat closer and hugged me to show she was grateful that I was taking a stand for her.
“Well, that is all good and fine, but I will say one thing. Stay away from Madeline until she is done finding the root cause of the sickness,” my father said.
“After that, she’s your plaything,” he finished.
I gave him a nod, even though I knew she was not the one I was going after to punish.
