11 Suspicions
Evelyn POV
As I dry off, I can hear Grant on the phone. Even though he is trying to whisper, I can hear the anger in his voice. I throw on my pajamas and split the door slowly. I hear him say before my Luna finds out who she is to whoever he is talking to. A pit forms in my stomach at his words. What is this man that promised to love me hiding? He has never given me any reason to doubt him until now. “Who were you talking to Grant?” He turns smiling at me like he has done a thousand times since we mated, but I feel nothing this time. He is keeping something from me. He walks over and wraps me in a hug. The tingles that normally make butterflies in my stomach make me feel nothing but sick. “Do you feel better now that you’ve showered?” “I do but I’m exhausted.” “Well, I’ll take a shower and hold you till you fall asleep.” I step back from him and despite my best efforts to wait to call him out until I do some investigating on what he is hiding I can’t. “You’re keeping something from me. Something about that girl from the Nightfire pack.” His eyes darken “Eve, I have never kept things from you and I’m hurt you would even think that about me. I have always been good to you. Unlike other Alphas, I was willing to take on another man’s pups when I found you. I could have rejected you but I didn’t because you were my fated mate. I would have raised those pups because they were a part of you.” “Not those pups, our pups. Do you know that not once in our lives have you ever referred to the pups as yours?”
hurt me physically. He has been the perfect mate all these years. He has never even raised his voice at me until now. Sadie whimpers in my mind. Grant and Thiago are our second chance after Theo was killed. The thought of not sleeping next to him hurts me as much as it does her but I need to know the truth. I pick a room three doors down from our bedroom. Once I’m inside, I pull the door closed and lock it. I slide under the covers alone for the first time in a very long time. Sleep does not come easily as my mind races with ideas of what he is keeping from me. I think about Clara and why she is important to
inside and head straight down a hallway to an office. I take a deep breath before I knock on the door. “Come in,” the man says. I open the door and he stands to his feet, baring his neck to me. “Luna, to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?” “I have questions and I want honest answers.” I see his smile falter for
Cayden POV
a sister made it to the Nightfire pack. Do you know what packs do to b**ch rogues, boy?” I keep my expression even and the smile is gone from his face. He wanted to see pain in my expression that he has caused many times before. He has no idea that I know exactly where my sister is and how she is being treated. I stand and he does the same. Riggs growls and his eyes widen. He reaches for a necklace and, before I can move forward, Lydia is standing in front of him with a smirk on her face. She waves her hand and I put my arms up hoping to, lessen the
“Now is as good a time as any to find out.” As the shift starts to happen saying it hurts is an understatement. We have only shifted once and it’s been months. I don’t fight the process and once the pain subsides, Riggs takes off. I can hear paws hitting the ground behind us and I don’t look back to see if they are close. We run for what feels like an hour before Riggs finally slows down. I can no longer hear the echo of paws hitting the ground. Riggs maneuvers through trees until we are near a stream. He bends drinking for minutes before he finally lays down. I can’t believe
and the wolf in front of us shifts. A beautiful woman who is fully dressed stands before us. She walks up, laying her hand on Rigg’s head and he growls. Not a growl of warning, but one of contentment. “What the hell is going on, Riggs?” “She is a special wolf and she will not hurt us.” She steps back and Riggs shifts without warning. I try to cover myself and she laughs. “We are wolves. I’ve seen naked men before” she says as she throws me a pair of shorts and I slide them on. “I’m sure you realize by now that I’m not a threat to your pack.” “I do, because if you were you would be dead already. That still doesn’t tell me why you’re near our territory.” I can see she is looking at the scars that cover my chest. “I escaped the collective I have been held prisoner in since I was a pup.” Her eyes
