Silver drops the pizza boxes on the table and claps his hands together like he’s called a meeting to order.

“Okay. We’re set. Can you girls please stop discussing what you’re wearing to the engagement now?”

“Just because you are gonna on a tie and called it done doesn’t mean we can’t come looking dazzling. Tiffany pokes her tongue.

“Where’s Emris?” I look at the door, doing a headcount.

“Here”

He walks in like a jock captain and I smile wheel seating.

“The cake should be pistachio, what do you think?” Sabrina whispers to Slade who is trying very hard to focus on the agenda of today.

“Baby, after we get some answers first, yeah?” He says it gently and I smile at both of them.

“Here we go.” Wren drops a stack of books on the table that I’m genuinely not sure she could see over when she came through the front door and I immediately look at Emris!

“You really let her carry all of that by herself?”

“I swear I didn’t see her.” He sits beside me and pulls my chair closer to him without looking. I smile…then catch Sabrina and Slade watching us and school my face back.

“You know what, if we survive this I’m going to find myself a mate.” Silver says.

“Same.” Tiffany raises her hand.

“Same.” Wren puts her glasses down and we get straight to work.

She pulls the drawing board forward and we all look at her. “First thing we need to establish about the barbarian packs Radius‘ multiple Lunas. All eight of them. Where they came from, how they got there, and what it cost their original packs

clap because that’s exactly where I started last night before I fell asleep on my laptop.

“He has eight?” Craig stares at the board. “What kind of bastard has eight Lunas.”

“The kind of bastard that kills his own parents just so he can become Alpha quicker.” Emris says it flatly and I look at him

First, that’s terrible news added to the disgusting things we already know about Radius. But how did he know that?

And they made him Alpha still?” Slade asks. “How true is that?”

“Laura told me.”

“Laura, hub?” Craig says, beating me to the reaction I was already building

“What else did she tell you?”

Okay Let’s get to it. We have an hain to find out everything we can. The bay wanted to ge anywhere with a computer breve have to all come back here in an hour fr* W*

Everyone begins to take their separate places. Pring my laptop closer to contrale where I sent a supe

Ten minutes into working I’m yawning and forcing my eyes back to the screen. There’s fratreya barbarian pack publicly cause they operate like a sealed territory, no presFS, DAMPFm bayad sa let slip. They are the one pack in existence that lives so segregated from what happens onde Micely yenge the o that can come back with facts for you. So everything I’m reading is comments from wolves või ya che es back with pieces of something

But a pattern is forming

Every pack that one of his Lumas came from has either been absorbed into the barbarian peck or the highanded Is Indigo Pac… Alpha surrendered, handed everything over to Radius directly. The Ginove Park same The Teong Parkx. The Alphas are gone, and the remaining wolves were folded in without being given the option of refund

I walk out to the garden because I’m getting worked up reading the details and I need air. It dorsalt make sense excest in one direction. Radius has something, some specific leverage or ability, that makes Alphas fold in ways that raw malda numbers alone can’t explain. You can fight numbers. Wolves fight numbers every generation but these Alphas fighting. They’re surrendering and then executing their own people.

The timer on my phone is done counting. I grab my laptop and head back into the house. Before that, I grab a can of verta from the fridge and check the time for school pick up. We need to get the kids from school

“I think we all see what’s common here. Radius has something some kind of ability or leverage that gets inside the and makes them destroy themselves from within”

“Whatever it is, it’s not going to work on us.” Emris grunts,

“You say that like you know what it is.” I say,

“His wolves are a mix of hybrids. Emris, do you think that’s why he took over those packs so easily

“No. But I think the issue is the pattern of how it happens. The Alphas are the ones doing the dirty work. They execute thes own Betas, their own Gammas…..it’s the Alpha himself who dismantles his pack from the inside and then Radis simply walks in and takes what’s left. Something makes them do that”

Einris had said no to Radius about the bonding…that “something” would have been used on him?

‘Yes‘ When says. “Which means we need to find a survivor from one of these packs that Radius destroyed. Or even better, we need to meet with one of his Lamas.”

“But they re in multiple states.” I exhale. “We don’t even know what the internal structure of that pack looks like from the inside. It would take an extremely skilled Zeta to get the work done without being caught. And if a she–wolf wres a gamma

pproaching her with questions in that environment, there’s very little chance she talks
