I looked through it, but I went straight to her contacts. I knew everyone in the room was looking at me, but I didn’t care. I wanted to know who she was talking with; we needed proof that this was all Alpha Trevor and Naomi.

I went to her contacts, and there were only five contacts.

I growled as I noticed two numbers that I recognized.

“f**k,” I snarled and shot out of the chair I was sitting on and headed toward the door.

I didn’t say anything to the others, but I knew they were following me. I could hear my name being called, but I ignored them.

I headed toward the cells and barged through the door, scaring one of the guards.

“Amber,” I snarled, demanding where she was being kept.

The petrified guard pointed toward a cell, and I walked over to it.

I looked in, and Amber was sitting on the bench and turned to look at me. She smiled and stood up, she took a step toward me, but I let out a roar, which made her stop. Her face changed slightly, looking more scared. “Lex…” she said.

I stared at her with anger filling my veins. Blaze was ready to tear her apart with what we found on her phone, which was still in my hand.

“Alpha to you,” I said through clenched teeth. “Who is Alpha Trevor to you?”

Amber looked taken aback by the question, but her eyes went to her phone. “You went through…” she muttered but glared at me.

“That’s mine. You had no right.”

I growled, which made her fall back on her a*s. “Tell me NOW,” I snarled. “Who is he to you?”

Amber looked up from the floor, terrified. “I can’t,” she whimpers. “He will k!ll me.”

I growled loudly.

I could sense people behind me, and I knew who it was.

“ANSWER MY QUESTION,” I snarled. “IT WON’T BE HIM WHO WILL K!LL YOU.”

Amber kept her mouth shut.

“WHO IS HE TO YOU?” I shouted.

I could see someone out of the corner of my eye. “You had better answer your alpha,” said Alpha Dean.

Amber looked between us, but her eyes landed on Alpha Dean.

Her l!ps curled up in the corners as a slow smile slid across her face.

“Oh, Alpha Dean, how is your Luna doing?” she asked.

Alpha Dean growled.

Amber stared at him, she didn’t flinch, but her eyes moved toward me.

“You want to know who I am to him,” she said, c*g her head to the side.

I wasn’t prepared for what came out of her mouth next. “I’m his mate,” she said. “Now, how’s Roxie doing since she’s been home?”

I couldn’t control it anymore; my anger filled every ounce of my body, and Blaze came up with me.

“YOU’RE A DEAD WOLF,” we yelled as he stood up front with me.

Amber’s smile moved from her face and was replaced with fear again as we opened the gate to get inside.

“EXPLAIN WHERE MATE IS,” we yelled, moving closer to her.

LEX

The whole cell was quiet as Amber’s words sunk in.

She was Alpha Trevor’s mate.

Confusion sets in. Why would he announce Roxie is his mate if he already had one?

Blaze wants to stay up close, but I need to get a handle on this. Blaze moved back but not too far from the surface. I stood in front of Amber.

“Get up,” I said through clenched teeth.

Amber moves and stands up.

Her eyes slit. “Why would you…” she said, but I let a low growl. “Don’t think my wolf won’t do anything, he will, and at the moment, we need answers. So start explaining what is happening, or you might find I will rip you apart.”

Blaze stared slightly at her but c****d his head. “She is lying,” he muttered.

I frowned. “You lied to me,” I said.

Amber stares back but c***s her eyebrows at me. “Really, how?” she answers, which earns a growl from behind. I knew it was my father, but I didn’t move.

I stared at her. “If you were his mate,” I said, as realization set in where Blaze’s head was. “You would have been with him right this second.”

Amber didn’t say a word, but I carried on. “So if you’re not his mate,” I said and leaned into her face. “You are one of his mistresses.”

Amber grimaced at the word which made our assumptions right. She was one of Alpha Trevor’s mistresses; he was doing what his father did years ago.

“What I don’t get is, Why?” I asked.

Amber stared, but a slow grin appeared on her face. “Ah, Alpha Lex,” she said as she moved back slightly and leaned on the wall. “I am so happy you asked.”

Amber l!cked her l!ps and sighed. “I was introduced to him,” she said as her grin widened. “You want to know who?”

I didn’t say a word, but if she didn’t hurry up, Blaze would rip her apart. “As much as I like games as the next person,” I muttered. “You better start talking, or my wolf will use you as a new chew toy.”

Amber frowned. “Split sport,” she said. “Naomi introduced us.”

I stared at her.

How the hell did Naomi know him?

“Is Naomi one of his mistresses too?” asked Alpha Dean.

Amber looks at him and bursts out laughing. “Silly Alpha’s,” she said after she calmed down. “You think Naomi is one of his women? You are truly mistaken.”

Amber looked at me and smirked. “Naomi is his sister,” she said.

I kept a neutral face, but I was stunned to learn that. But something my father told us earlier in the office. Naomi’s mum was pregnant with her when she came here. She must have had his child.

“How do you know that?” asked my father.

Amber looked behind me and smiled. “You are one old fool,” she muttered.

I snarled. I was getting pissed at this, and we were wasting time.

I moved fast and gripped her throat, which startled her. I slammed her into the wall behind her, and she gasped slightly. “Where is Naomi holding Roxie?” I growled.

Amber’s hands grip my arms, but I can’t help but squeeze her neck. “ANSWER ME NOW,” I roar.

A hand goes to my shoulder. “Let her go, Lex,” shouted Alpha Dean. “You are squeezing her too tight; she can’t talk.”

I loosened my grip on her neck.

Amber splatters out a harsh gasp but stays still.

“Naomi found him six years ago,” she says and looks at me. “She never told me anything about how she found him, but she wanted to know her father’s family. Alpha Trevor told her he needed insight into what was going on within the pack, but she lost control of her wolf.”

I frowned. “What do you mean?” I asked.

“Her wolf took over her body,” she spat out. “She wanted her mate, but she agreed to return when Roxie returned.”

I growled.

Amber looks at me. “Alpha Trevor wanted someone else to do his dirty work and knew I was her friend back in high school,” she said. “He pursued me and started to date me.”

Amber shook my hand off her throat and stared up at me.

“Naomi was gone, and I was left alone,” she said. “I was called a slut after I slept with Jason; no one would go near me.”

Amber glared behind me, which only made me realize that it was aimed at Jason.

“Look at me,” I said through clenched teeth. “What has this to do with Roxie?”

Amber stared for a moment but sighed. “I don’t know,” she said. “I only met Alpha Trevor once a month, but I knew he was sleeping with other women from here and from Alpha Dean’s pack. He started to ask questions about her and wanted information about her.”

“Do you know why he’s after our mates?” asked Alpha Dean.

Amber nodded. “He didn’t tell me until Naomi returned to herself,” she said. “He told us that he wanted them because he wanted to take the one piece of happiness that makes the two of you. Naomi agreed about Roxie, but Luna Stephanie only came into it a few weeks back. He knew the two of you were friends, like back in the day, and did everything together. He wanted to keep you busy looking for your Luna while he gets his army ready to fight you both when you are at your weakest.”

I growled.
