Why didn’t you tell me?
I couldn’t. I wanted to and I tried to, but the words wouldn’t form. I believe that the spell was preventing me from doing so. That is why I was trying to tell you to stop hurting her dumbass.
Now is not the time for name-calling, mutt. I know what happened was wrong, but you can’t put the full blame on me. I was under the spell of dark magic, no thanks to that selfish b***h Layla. What is your plan for her?
We share a mind, I’m sure you know exactly what I have in store for her.
I do, I just want to hear you say it.
Blade retreated to the back of my mind and I could just see his wolf-like smirk as he pictured the pain we were going to put Layla through when I got Rylee back in my arms. I let out a deep sigh, and I went back to my room. I figured there was no point in going back to sleep since morning training was in an hour. I decided to let Blade out for a morning run before going to training.
***Ash’s P.O.V.***
I couldn’t believe that the elders sent an investigator to my pack. They didn’t give us any warning, the investigator just showed up a few days ago and has yet to leave. I don’t know what he is trying to do prove, but he showed up before we could dispose of all the humans. I couldn’t just dispose of fifty-plus human bodies all at once, it would bring on too much suspicion. And I couldn’t just let them all go. They knew about werewolves now, and I couldn’t allow them to tell human authorities that our kind existed. This was all f*****g Emma’s fault. She was the one who insisted I side with Layla to get Rylee back to Halfmoon. My sister hated Rylee with a passion, and I knew the only reason why she wanted Rylee back was that she wanted to torture her again. I wanted Rylee back to teach her a lesson in rejecting me. Ever since Rylee left, Kano hasn’t spoken a word to me. The only time I ever even notice his existence is when he is itching to go for a run. Even when in wolf form, he will completely take over and won’t say a word. Knowing that Rylee was no longer at Blue Lake gave me hope that she would eventually just find her way back here. Valencia didn’t want her anymore, and as long as that witch never reversed the spell, it would always stay that way. I would give Rylee time to come to her senses, and when she came graveling back to me, I was going to punish her for leaving me for that ingrate Valencia. But for now, I had to make sure that this damn Elder didn’t go snooping in parts of the territory he wasn’t supposed to. “Alpha Ash, where is your father?” the investigator asked.
“Why do you want to know?” I asked him annoyed.
“There are parts of the investigation that revolve around him and his time as Alpha. Where is he?” he said in a demanding tone.
“Don’t use that tone with me!” I shouted.
“You will be wise to watch your tone with me, pup. I’m an Elder, and you are nothing but a low-level Alpha,” he said as his eyes turned black. As much as I wanted to rip his throat out, I knew I was no match for an Elder. Even though they were older, they were powerful, and even Alphas were not a match for them. “Fetch Eric!” he commanded. I mind linked my father,
Dad.
What is it, Ash?
The investigator wants to speak with you.
Why?
How the f**k should I know!? He’s a f*****g Elder, just get over here!
I blocked him out before he could even reply. My dad complained about f*****g everything ever since he stepped down. The last seven months have been f*****g hell because of his constant whining and bitching that he gave me the pack too soon. He was honestly starting to get on my last nerves.
After a few minutes of waiting, my dad finally came to my office where the investigator and I were waiting.
“Took you long enough,” I tell him as he sits down.
“Don’t get smart with me Ash,” he spat back.
“Gentlemen, a little professionalism if you please,” the investigator said to us. I wanted this fucker gone already.
“Why did you ask to see me?” My dad asked him.
“I need to get some clarification on the challenge that occurred between you and the Alpha of the Silver Lake, the late Mitchell Duquesne,”
“Why? That’s old news, and it was cleared with the Elders when it happened,”
“I understand, but there are a few loose ends that need to be cleared up,”
“Like what?” I asked.
“The reason behind the challenge for one,” the investigator responded.
“I wanted their land,” my father replied.
“And?”
“I wanted to increase my pack in numbers. Silver Lake had plenty of worthy fighters,”
“Is that so?” the investigator asked and nodded his head as he jotted down some notes. “Let me ask you this then, if that was the case, why kill the entire pack and leave their land to succumb to the ravage of time?”
“Simple, after the challenge, they didn’t submit. They retaliated,”
“Really?” the investigator asked but didn’t seem to be buying my father’s answers. I honestly didn’t know why he had challenged Silver Lake back then either, no one really does now that I think about it. “Eric, is it true that you fancied the Luna of Silver Lake?” “Excuse me?” my dad answered
“What?” I asked looking at my dad.
“What are you…What does that have to do with anything?” my asked.
“So, are you admitting to the rumors?” the investigator asked, and all I could do was look at my dad. Why would he like another woman when my mom was his mate?
“I’m not admitting to anything!” my dad said defensively.
“I’m just trying to gain some insight into the challenge. You say you wanted land and numbers, yet you killed the pack and you left the land alone. Your reasons behind the challenge are not sound, and the elders wonder if the challenge held an ulterior motive,” “What other reason would there be!?” my shouted standing to his feet. I had never seen him so defensive before. This was unlike him.
“Eric, if the rumors of you fancying Luna Megan are true, then is it possible that you challenged Mitchell not for his pack, but for his Luna instead?” the investigator asked with an as-of-matter fact tone. “Though I can’t say I blame you. Luna Megan was after all an Alpha herself,”
“What?” I asked in shock. Rylee’s mom was also an Alpha? That would make Rylee a true Alpha. I lost out on a true Alpha as my mate, and that fucker Valencia got have her instead.
“It was no secret that Megan was courted by many. She was beautiful, she was kind-hearted, and she was powerful. Many Alphas wanted her as their Luna regardless if she was their mate,” the investigator said. “But alas, Megan ended up with Alpha Mitchell, her true mate,”
