I looked at Grayson as he stood there, arms clasped behind his back. He turned and bowed his head to me as I approached.

“Do you know why you are here?” I asked seriously, my footsteps echoing in the silence.

This was a grave matter, not only had I trusted this man, I had dined with him, a man who had cheated with my woman behind my back…

“No Alpha.” He replied solemnly.

“I know of your affair with Soleil.” I was unable to keep the rage from my shaking voice. “Give me a reason not to tear you to shreds right now.”

A frown flitted across his face, and he sighed heavily. It was not the reaction I was expecting. “Good. It is a burden I was tired of carrying.” He said quietly.

I frowned.

“That’s all you have to say? After everything you have done?” I growled. “I was blackmailed, I had no choice.” “Blackmailed?” I asked sharply. “I want the truth.” My alpha command rolled off me in waves and he submitted, lowering his head in response. “Tell me the truth! The entire truth!” He took a deep breath.

“The Luna had always been infatuated with me, but she told me that if I did not yield to her demands then she would make sure that I was ruined… I still refused, yet somehow she managed to get me in bed. When I awoke the following day, I was ready to tell you everything, but she told me that no one would believe me and she would accuse me of raping her. We all know the King’s Luna’s word in the matter would hold more power over a simple gamma’s…”

I couldn’t begin to comprehend the torrent of emotions that hit me.

Was Soleil really this… conniving?

She always appeared prim, proper, and supportive. Always there for me…

“From there, she told me that I better agree or she would tell Zoe and ruin my life, and that of my young pup’s. She used to give you a sleeping potion so you wouldn’t even notice her missing.”

And that was how I never felt her cheating, she had me unconscious… 1
