Chapter 66
Caden’s POV
As soon as we step out of the pack house, Isiah lets me have it.
“What was that about?! You nearly blew our cover off. His brows pinch together in annoyance.
“I’m sorry about that.” I mean my words. I didn’t expect myself to have such little control over my emotions. “It won’t happen again.”
“It better not.”
My wolf snaps, fighting to get to the surface and show Isiah how an Alpha is meant to be addressed. I hold him back before he can do any of that. We’re the one at fault here and Isiah has every right to display his
annoyance.
He sighs, his shoulders dropping. “What are you going to do about the spy in your pack?” He asked, looking over at me, this time not as angry as he previously looked.
Thinking of ways to fish out the spy in my pack has been the only thing in my head. Well, expect from when thoughts of Alessia manage to push their way to the front of my head. I still haven’t told Isiah or Veronica about that new development and I’m surprised that they haven’t confronted me yet. They must have definitely taught wind of the rumors circulating.
“I kept something from you,” I start, looking straight ahead when Isiah turns to face me because I don’t think I can say what I have to see when I’m holding his gaze. “I have a mate.” My heart squeezed. I feel like I’m betraying all of them even though I have no hand in what the moon goddess chooses.
“I heard about it,” he simply states and that tone grabs my attention, making me turn my head in his direction.
He’s looking straight ahead, with no emotion slipping through his tight armor.
“I-” my
words hang in the air as I contemplate what to say. Honestly, there’s nothing to be said. I can’t apologize for getting a second chance mate…but there’s something that I can apologize for. “I’m sorry I didn’t protect her.”
He smiles weakly, knowing what my words mean. Only an idiot wouldn’t understand what I’m referring to.
“It wasn’t your fault. You did everything possible.” His face hardens, a swift change. “It’s those dam n rogues’ fault. I’m going to kill them when I get my hands on them. His fingers curl into fists.
“We will get them,” I enforce. I don’t want to make a promise that I may not be able to keep but I’m going to keep trying to catch them until I take my last breath.
He nods, his face pulled tight with anger. I send a quick prayer to the moon goddess for those ba s t a r d s. They’re going to wish for a quick death when we get our hands on them.

Chapter 66
“We should shift into our wolves. We’ll get there faster,” Isiah says, already closing his eyes.
8 11:36
I close mine just as I hear the sound of bone shifting. Imagining my wolf black coat, I land on all fours with my claws digging into the soft soil under our paws
We run side by side to the pack house and at the boulders we meet Raphael and Alex, waiting for us with the bag of clothes that I mindlinked them to bring. We shift back into our human form and change into the clothes provided
“I want to talk to my Beta and Gam m a,” I inform Isiah. “You should go first.”
He nods, walking in the direction of the pack house with his feet coated in mud. We’re both going to need a nice, long shower to get rid of all this filth.
“What do you want to talk about with us?” Alex asks, pivoting sideways to face me, giving me his full
attention.
Ever since the commotion of finding out that there’s a mastermind behind the attacks, I haven’t found the time to speak with them.
“We have a dire situation,” I take a pause, holding their gaze so they understand just how crucial this is. “We have a spy in our pack”
Their eyes widen simultaneously, each holding different degree of disbelief. Then it changes to anger. “Who is it?” Raphael asks, gritting his teeth so hard that I fear they may just cr ac k.
“We don’t know who they are or what position they hold in the pack.” I hate this situation. “All we know is that they have been feeding informations to a Beta of our neighboring pack.”
Confused gazes meet mine and I sigh. Going over everything from the top, I fill them in on every piece of information I received from Isiah. By the time I’m done, Alex and Raphael are staring at me with another expression of disbelief etched on their faces.
“Those attacks were planned?” Raphael is the first to speak up after getting over his initial shock. “Someone is behind them? A Beta?”
Alex gets out of his shock. “What are we going to do? We have to do something about it.”
I’m seriously regretting not informing them about this news earlier on. This conversation will be going forward faster if I did that.
“We’re already doing something about it. Isiah and I went to the first pack today but we didn’t get anything out of the ordinary from their beta. He seemed pretty normal.” Beta Richard is even less suspicious than his Alpha. That pri c k would have been my first suspect if our mastermind was an Alpha.
“Wow,” Raphael mouths, shaking his head. “A lot of things to process.”
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you guys sooner,” I apologize. “I got caught up in everything.” It’s not a good excuse but it’s the only one that I can provide.

“It’s ok,” Alex says and Raphael nods in agreement. “We understand.”
I sigh, thankful I have these two good men by my side to help lead my pack.
