Chapter 91
Den
I’m truly happy for both Quinn and my cousin. Asher is a handsome little pup, and I can
tell that he will grow into a strong Alpha one day. I’m d that Quinn is happy again and
she now has a family of her own, even if I’m not part of it. The Goddess Selene must
have a special n for me, at least I hope she does.
I’ve been watching the app on my phone that has L’s tracker on it, but it’s not showing
me anything I can use. Going to the store or to the next town to get her hair done will not
count as her stepping out on me. I know that she is where the tracker says she is
because I have a warrior on her at all times when she leaves the pack house.
I’ve got to be missing something here, because this is not the same L that has been
disappearing at all times of the day since. after Holden was born. She’s even started

doing more Luna duties such as visiting the disabled wolves, bringing them food and
supplies, along with visiting the school and daycare, all jobs that the Luna does.
As I sit in my office contemting all of it, a thoughtes to me, “She better not have
had the nerve to do what I’m thinking she did!” I say to myself out loud. Linking my Beta
to meet me in my office, I start over by the bookshelf.
“You wanted to see me?” Carter closes the door behind him.
“Lock the door and start helping me.” I order.
Carter scratches his head, “Uh, are you going to tell me what we are looking for or is it a
surprise?”
‘We are looking for a bug.’ I link him and put my finger to my mouth, silencing him.
My big bad Beta ttens himself against the door as he looks around at the floor, ‘What
kind of bug is it, and how big?’
I roll my eyes, ‘For the love of Goddess, not that kind of bug!’ I go back to sliding my
hands over the bookshelves, ‘A transmitter bug. Seriously, how are you even my Beta if
you are afraid of a little insect anyway?’ I snicker and shake my head.
‘F*ck you, Dec! You never had a childhood trauma where a bug crawled into your nose
while you slept and imnted itself! Do you remember that? I had a bump on the side of
my nose for a week until it decided to try and crawl out on its own!’
I do remember that incident. He was standing in front of the ss reading his book report
when suddenly a big worm-looking thing starteding out of his nose. Everybody
freaked out and when the teacher went to grab it, it went back up his nose. He had to go
to the doctor and be sedated, so the doctor could pull it out. I never realized it ended up
giving him a phobia, I kind of feel bad now, as I chuckle to myself.
‘Yeah, sorry. Just start looking over by the file cab while I finish with the bookcase.’
‘Why do you think you have a bug in your office?’ My Beta asks as he slides his own
hand all around the cabs and opens the drawers.
‘L hasn’t gone anywhere.’
‘And that has to do with this how?’
I stop and turn, ‘I think she bugged my office. I’ve been thinking. about it and there are
too many things that havee about where she shouldn’t have known but she did.’
‘How far back are you thinking?’
‘Well, I would guess all the way back to before Quinn’s eighteenth birthday. How else
would she have known about the family. birthday dinner. Then there is her using
Quinn and I of sleeping together.’
Carter stops, ‘Were you really having an affair with Quinn?’
‘No! We did mess around in here, but that’s it.’
‘So, you’re thinking that she knows about the transmitter?’ He asks, ‘Do you think she
has taken it out or what?’
‘I don’t f*cking know, but she has been acting really strangetely, and if she did take it
out, then she’s still carrying it with her for now. ording to the app, she isn’t sneaking
off like she was doing all the time, and she’s been taking up Luna duties.’
‘L doing actual work?’ Heughs.
‘Tell me about it, but she is.’ I state.
‘Yeah, but I doubt she’s…’
I nce over at my Beta when he cuts himself off. He’s over by my second set of file
cabs, holding the picture frame that has a photo of me and my dad in it. I watch as he
pulls off a small square ck piece that was stuck to the back and holds it up.
‘Bingo!’ I hurry over to him and take it from his fingers, ‘That b*tch!’ I growl.
‘Just calm down, Dec, you don’t know that it was her.’ Carter tries talking some kind of
sense to me, but it doesn’t work.
‘Nobody else would dare bug my office, it was her!’ I close my fist around the small
device, wanting nothing more than to crush it, but I want it as evidence. I meet my Beta’s
eyes and snarl, ‘Find that b*tch and throw her in the cell. She is not to have any wifi or
television this time. She wants to act like a criminal, she can be treated like one!’
“Yes, Alpha.” He doesn’t bother linking me to respond as he walks out of my office.
I pick up a nearby chair and throw it at the wall, shattering it to pieces and putting a big
hole in the drywall. I’m seething at the moment. That *itch has yed me one too many
times; I will not allow her to make a fool out of me any longer! Without waiting until I get
outside, I shift into Duke and charge out the door. I hear my mother call out to me as I
pass her in the hall, but I don’t stop.
Duke runs for hours, shutting off our link to the pack as he does. I don’t give a s*it at the
moment. I have given this pack everything, even my only chance at being happy. L
had almost everything. she could have ever wanted, except for my love, she could never
have that. Is this what it’s all about…because I wouldn’t be that kind of mate to her?
At this point I’m just talking to myself because Duke is too enraged to carry on a
conversation with me. This is why he takes off the way he does, because he can do so
much damage with his temper and when he gets like this. Duke is a very strong wolf,
one of the strongest and fastest. Had he had any powers, I would swear that he was one
of thest Dire wolves, but he’s not. I can trace our bloodline all the way back to the
beginning of time. We
are just a strong bloodline, and we are meant for greater things. than what we have now,
that’s for sure.
After hours of running without direction, I begin to recognize my surroundings. The all too
familiar trees and markers indicating that we are leaving Storm River territory and about
to enter Dark Moon’ s has me trying to put a stop to our running.
Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
‘Duke, we can’t run to her every time we needfort. She isn’t ours.’
‘T, I need T!’
‘We can’t, Duke. T and Quinn belong to Mace and Gavin.’
‘No! T is mine…I want T!’ He’s talking like a barbarian at the moment, and I don’t
understand what hase over him. We have talked about this, how T will soon mate
with Mace. He wasn’t happy about it, but he epted it, or so I thought.
We pass some of Dark Moon’s patrol and luckily, they recognize. me, so we don’t get
stopped. I don’t know what I would do if Duke attacked one of Quinn’s pack members
because they would not survive.
Duke lifts his nose and sniffs, and suddenly he picks up speed and I think he’s heading
for the pack house, but then he veers slightly and picks up speed once more. Apparently,
Quinn and T must be out for a run.
