Winston was giving her nothing to work with, blank slate that he was, but since she knew she was being recorded, Winston wasn’t her prime target. Instead, she was pleading her case to the whole of the pack

Who were they going to believe? Alpha Jason, or the woman he seemingly wronged?

A few minutes later, when Brittany had not broken her act, Jason and Winston came out of the room, Jason looking frustrated and annoyed, Winston with no outward reaction.

“We have to try a new tactic,” Jason said.

He was right.

I stepped forward. “I’m going to talk to her.”

“No,” Jason said. “I forbid it.”

I huffed a breath filled with my own frustration. “Why? At least let me try.”

“You shouldn’t have to deal with her ever again,” Jason said. “Not after all she’s done to you.”

I realized then, “You are trying to protect me.”

“Always,” he replied.

Warmth blossomed inside of me. Knowing he wanted me safe always made me feel more so. But, at the same time, I pushed those feelings away. Jason’s protective instincts were presently getting in the way at our best shot for a confession. I couldn’t go along with it just to make him feel better.

“I’m serious about this, Jason. She can’t keep getting away with all of this. Let me talk to her. If anyone can get her to crack, it’s

me.”

Jason remained hesitant, though I could see the breaks in his defenses. He knew I was right.

“It might be our best shot,” Winston said. “We were getting nowhere in there.”

“I won’t let you go in there alone,” Jason said to me.

“I can go in with her,” Marcus said. “For protection.”

Jason ran a hand through his hair, inhaled deeply, then exhaled. “Fine. But if anything starts to go wrong, I’m stepping in.”

“That’s fine,” I said.

“We’ll go to the observation room,” Winston said. “Laila. Good luck.”

I was nervous as I stepped into the interrogation room, but seeing Brittany there filled me with anger and made those nervous feelings entirely vanish. Too long, she had gotten away with everything. No longer.

Brittany’s demeanor changed too. Gone was the wilting flower act she had given to Wallace. Instead, she hardened, glaring at

1. me.

“What are you doing here?” she asked.

“Don’t you think it’s time we worked this out for ourselves,” I said.

She lifted her cuffed hands. “Hardly fair, is it? Though with your wolf so weak, maybe it doesn’t matter.”

Already she was lowering herself to insults. A good sign.

“You have been lying to me since the day I first met you,” I said. “Do you remember? When you told me Jason wanted me gone.

Her lip quirked, like she wanted to smile at the memory, but was holding herself back. “I’d heard you’d died, Laila. Strange how you returned in another woman’s life.”

She was trying to redirect things to me, but I wasn’t going to let her. This wasn’t about me. This was about her. “When did you start to hate me again? Was it when Jason said my name at your wedding?”

The low blow dug into her, her frown deepening severely.

“That was supposed to be my day…”

“Or was it when you found out I was still alive.”

“You couldn’t just stay in the ground…”

“Or maybe it was when Jason finally moved forward with the divorce you’d been dreading, you’d been running and trying to hide from. Is that when you realized he was falling for me again? When you knew if you didn’t act, you would lose him to me forever?”

“Yes” She snapped, standing so abruptly, her chair shot backwards, feet scraping against the tile flooring. “Who are you? A nobody orphan from nowhere. I have the good breeding. I’m of the highest class. Why would he choose you over me?”
