Chapter 65

The shuffling of papers wakes me from my slumber, the room dim, the only light coming from the lamp on Axton’s side of the bed. Rolling over, Axton has a stack of papers on the bed and scattered across his lap.

“What are you doing?’ I yawn while stretching.

“Pack documents, also looking over treaty agreements,” he tells me, yet his brows furrow in confusion.

“What is it?” I ask him.

“Elder Stiles from the Crident Pack.” He mumbles to himself and I sit up.

“The missing Elder?” I ask and he nods showing the paper. I take it glancing down at it.

“He signed a treaty agreement with my father’s pack?” Axton nods.

“Yes, expanding borders, appears your father was in debt to the council. That isn’t what I find strange though, or surprising, it’s that he signed his pack over to Osiris.” I glance at Axton and he holds up another document.

“But they were estranged?” I tell him.

“Exactly, it also shows here that Elder Stiles dropped the claim for your father’s land right here,” Axton points out.

“So?” I ask, trying to figure out what he is trying to stay. My father was the head council member. It is not uncommon for the council to sweep things under the rug to prevent it getting out.

“The date, he’d been reported missing three days earlier,”

“So it couldn’t have been Stiles,” I gasp.

“Exactly, but someone that had access to his portal.”

“Osiris,” I tell him and he scratches the back of his neck.

“But why would Osiris cut a deal with my father?” Axton shrugs.

“That’s what I want to know,” he says, grabbing another document from a box on the floor which I notice is his personal documents, the rest I can tell are from the council. I help him go through all the pack archives before Axton grabs the box, rummaging through it. Picking up the council documents, I find a USB fall out of the packages.
