76 ns and Execution (Book 2)


    ~Devin~


    Kyle and Max joined me in the living room of my home. I could see they were anticipating what


    would happen. Neither of us was pleased about Alice''s conduct.


    They did not know her, but they understood the gravity of her actions.


    I was d because I knew whomever she was liaising with would lead us to something tangible. I


    just had to catch her and back her into a corner.


    "So, how did you make an enemy of your own pack member?" Max asked me, and I wondered if it


    was meant as a jab or a genuine question.


    "She wanted us to be a thing, and I never looked at her," I said, point nk, and theyughed.


    "Wow, I could see why she would have them bury silver in Susan. I hope we get the bitch because I


    suspect she is behind all the attacks in the south and east, and I need my pound of flesh," Kyle


    said.


    I did not know if that was entirely true, but I could never tell.


    She did go to Brent to meet with her handler or whomever the weirdo may be.


    "So what is the n?" Max said, and I grinned evilly.


    "Kyle will keep an eye on Alice. You have better stealth than us, so I would give you that task. We


    need to find a way to search through her things. I would have entrusted Lukman with the task, but


    he is pussy whipped, I suppose, and I can''t trust any of the men in my pack with the task." I said,


    and Kyle grinned.


    I knew he would love the challenge.


    "I will im Susan''s body was found in the woods of Brent, and she is dead. I doubt the people that


    shot at us were the same people she encountered, so there will be mimunication between


    both parties. I wished there was a way we could have her call her handler and then catch her just in


    case we do not find anything in her home. We might also make her believe one of the lords is


    coming so she can try to snitch, and then Kyle keeping an eye on her will catch her? I don''t know. I


    have a lot of Ideas in my head. All I know is we need to catch her really fast, and it has to be a way


    that it won''t be her word against Susan''s," I said, and Max smiled.


    "You know if she has someone from the Stepanov line she is informing, we will be toast, Han?" Max


    said, and I frowned at him.


    "Those things are freaks, Devin. They wille here hoping to kill a Northern Lord, a ''Volkov''. The


    motivation will be high, and we will be done for. There won''t be y, Alexei, Andrew or Amelia to


    help. I hope you know what you are doing," he said, and I did not think that through. I guess I was


    just pissed about what happened.


    "So, what do you suggest?" I asked him, and he looked at Kyle.


    "I say we grab the bitch, beat her senseless and have her singing in no time. No need to


    investigate. She will sing like a bird when I am through with her," Max said, and it sounded tempting.


    Every fibre of my being wanted to do just that, but we needed to be careful.


    "I do not think that would be a good idea because of her ties with Lukman. I do not need any more


    disloyal people around me. I am the least patient of us, and even though the south might have been


    overrun already, I nned to keep my people loyal to Sylvester and me." I said, and Max frowned.


    "I get it, Devin. We will do it your way, but this is how we will do it," Kyle said.


    "We will ask Lukman to join us to search here stuff. A youngdy like that won''t be smart enough to


    cover her tracks. She acted too boldly to be smart.


    We will find something on her phone or in her house that would tie her to the weirdos. Then we grab


    her.


    Honestly, having her send for them toe when they think a Volkov would be here would be


    dangerous for all of us.


    They might wipe everyone out. I would have been morefortable with that n if Amelia and her


    siblings were with us. If that was what you nned on doing, then you came to the south with the


    wrong team," Kyle said, and weughed.


    "Very well, I will keep her busy while the two of you join Lukamn to search her belongings," I said,


    knowing it would be hard for me because I detested the bitch, but it was essential to do so we could


    make headway. Time was running out, and I did not want to miss the Bluemoon ceremony when my


    wedding would take ce.


    We all retired to our bedrooms, and I decided to call Susan to check up on her before I went to


    sleep.


    Her phone rang a couple of times before someone answered, and to my surprise, it was Avery.


    "Hello, Devin," Avery said, and Iposed myself.


    "Is she all right," I asked, and Averyughed.


    "Come on, Devin, she is fine. It''s just eleven PM, and Tamia and Amelia decided that we have a


    get-together in the lounge. Susan went to use the toilet and left her phone behind. Wait, here she


    comes, holds on for her," she said, and I heard womenughing.


    I could hear Nicole talking. She was just as Jovial as her husband. I was d that they included


    Susan in their fun. It was about time they buried the non-existent bad blood between them.


    "Hey, babe," she said, and I sighed.


    "You know you should be resting," I scolded her, and she giggled.


    "I could not say no to her majesty," she said, and I sighed.


    "Tamia invited me, and I had toe. Besides, it would be boring in that room alone without you, so


    I am having fun and wishing you the best." She said.


    "Hope you mess that bitch up, Devin!" I heard Linda say in the background. Susan giggled.


    "I told them about Alice," she confessed, and I figured.


    "We have had our fair share of treacherous bitches, but none ever buried silver in us. That batch is


    cold!" Avery said and even though it sounded funny. They were telling the truth.


    "All right, babe. I will leave you to have fun with your friends. I will join you tomorrow or the day


    after." I said, and we exchanged ''I love yous'' and hung up.


    I was more rxed after hearing Susan was having fun with the women. I guess I must have miss


    read the bad blood, or maybe Amelia somehow got them to get along. I guess I will never know until


    I get back.

    I slept peacefully that night.


    Lukman arrived in the morning. I was d he listened to me and did note with Alice. He looked


    around and wondered if something was the matter, but I ushered him to sit down.


    "Alpha, is everything all right?" He asked me, and I nodded.


    "I need you to take Max and Kyle to Alice''s apartment and join them in searching through her


    things," I said, and he frowned at me.


    "Do you want to question my reasons?" I asked him sternly, and he shook his head.


    "Very well, so you know, Leo caught some rogues, and they named her their informant. I do not


    want to believe that was the case, but Iter found out that she did not visit Hand when she said


    she would, and an attack happened in Mountain based on information she got from me. I want to


    believe it is not true, but I need to be sure before I brush it off and tell them to look elsewhere," I


    said, and he nodded.


    "I understand, Alpha. I am sure it is just a misunderstanding and won''t find anything in her


    apartment," He said, and I nodded.


    I did not want him to know what she did to Susan yet, so it would not be as if Susan had set her up.


    She had already used Susan of being the one that caused me to fire her; I could not allow her to


    manipte her way out of the situation. I nned to expose her and then punish her.


    "What will you do if she is found guilty?" he asked me, and I sighed.


    "I do not know," I lied.


    "Because of her Family''s rtionship with mine, I do not know, but if she is willing to give me


    substantial information, I might grant her immunity," I lied, and he frowned.


    "Why would you be that generous, Alpha?" He asked me, and I sighed and looked at him.


    "Because you two are together, and I would want you in the best state of mind," I said, and he


    bowed his head. I knew something was wrong, so I wanted to pry.,


    "What is the matter?" I asked him, and he sighed.


    "I appreciate your kindness Alpha, but Alice broke up with me Last night after you returned. She


    said she wasn''t feeling the whole thing, and neither was I. We both decided it was best this way.


    Besides, I noticed she is obsessed with you. Always wanting to know what you are up to. I got


    tired," He said, and I was surprised.


    I wondered why she broke up with him, but I knew she wouldn''t tell him the truth behind her actions,


    so I decided to wait for her toe by.


    "Where is Susan?" he asked me, and I sighed.


    "Ran away two days ago. Haven''t seen her since," I lied, and he sighed.


    "You need to move on, Alpha; The woman has broken your heart enough. I do not think she is


    ready. I hoped she was because you two were so good together." He said, and I stood up, wanting


    him to stop talking because I felt shitty that I had lied to him. It was necessary because I did not


    know Alice''s effect on him. I had to maintain the narrative until proven otherwise.


    Max and Kyle joined us, and they left to do what I asked. I sat in my living room and waited for the


    treacherous Alice to arrive.
