I leaned against the doorframe of the security room as Marissa turned stiffly toward me. Panic flashed in her eyes.
“W-why are you here?” Her voice shook. She instinctively stepped back, fingers clenching so tight they turned pale.
I walked in slowly and shut the door behind me. The glow from the security monitors flickered across her face, washing it in pale light. “Surprised to see me?”
My voice was calm. Inside my head, Alice’s voice chuckled. “This idiot really thinks deleting footage will save her? Her wolf energy is a total mess, with guilt all over her face.”
Marissa bit her lip and muttered under her breath, trying to sound tough. “What’s there to be surprised about?” Then she moved toward the door, clearly planning to bolt.
I stepped in her way. My tone was steady and sharp. “You’re the one who stole it, aren’t you?”
Her steps froze. Panic flashed across her face. “What are you talking about? I didn’t steal anything!”
I smiled slightly, brushing a glance over her sweat-damp hairline. “If you didn’t, then why did you sneak out when the enforcement squad came to check fingerprints? And why rush in here the moment someone mentioned checking the cameras?”
My hearing had always been sharp. Even from far down the hall, I’d caught the whispers from afar and knew exactly what she was planning.
“I just happened to walk by,” she insisted stubbornly. Her wolf energy rippled wildly; even her breathing
grew uneven.
I shrugged, pretending to sound casual. “Sure. Deny it all you want. But evidence speaks louder than words. Tell me, what do you think will happen when the enforcement squad learns that a Windspire Pack’s beta stole something and tried to frame someone else?”
“Evidence? What evidence?!” She snapped, stepping closer and grabbing my arm. Her grip carried a beta’s brute force, but it was useless against an alpha.
I brushed her hand away easily and looked at her with quiet disdain. “No matter how careful you thought you were, you still slipped up. Now tell me. Do you really think I have no proof, or are you just afraid I do?”
I didn’t have solid proof. But as the Alpha who runs the pack, I know how to break someone’s defenses. Fear is the easiest way in.
Sweat beaded on Marissa’s forehead and ran down her temple. Her wolf energy fluctuated so badly it almost fell apart.
She couldn’t tell whether I was bluffing. Marissa wouldn’t risk a bet. If she lost, her record would be stained

“I was planning to give you a way out,” I said, pausing on purpose. My eyes made her more nervous. “We were classmates. There’s no need to make this totally ruinous. But if you keep being stubborn, I won’t hold back. I’ll just hand everything to the enforcement squad.”
“No-” She burst out, voice trembling with pleading.
I watched her, half-smiling, waiting for her to crack. She took a breath and, teeth clenched, said, “What do you want? Name your terms.”
