He wasn’t forgiving, kind, gentle. He didn’t hold anything back when we found out who it was.

A week after I’d laid the trap it was sprung.

A gift for me at the front gates, the note read:

My dearest Annette

I will gladly take you in

-M.C

The package it came with was a little more disturbing. The heads of what were assumed to be the elders of our enemies pack.

“Leon.

Grayson broke open his Omegas front door and dragged him from his bed. I was racing after him attempting to calm so we wouldn’t make a scene.

“Traitor,” Gray held his hand up and extended his claws.

“Gray? No! No! I have never done anything to betray you. You are my friend more than my alpha. Pleaselistentome!” He spluttered as he scratched at Graysons grip on his n*eck.

“Grayson!” I yelled at him knowing he wouldn’t listen.

“Wait!” Lilianna called. “There’s a certain scent in this room,”

Leon’s eyes widened. “She wouldn’t. She wouldn’t. She wants to be with me now and she’s proud of Annettes progress she sings her praises she wouldn’t ever. She loves our Alpha,”

Lillian a dug around in his dresser and pulled out a top. Her scent hit me.

Leon had been sleeping with Jessica and she had gotten the information from him because he thought she could be

trusted.

“I only ever tell her really boring stuff I haven’t said a word Gray believe me it can’t be her,” Leon begged I could hear his heart pounding.

I grabbed my phone and called the guard house at the front gates. “Close the gates and if Jessica Ellison tries to leave you bring her to me,”

I left and walked to her house the was packing a bag frantically when arrived.

She jumped around with a knife once she sensed me. “Luna,” she hesitated.

“I won’t save you from him. You’ve made your bed,” I told her.

His large frame entered the room and Jessica tried to bolt through her window but he grabbed her by the ends of her hair.

He walked her through the streets as she cried and attempted to appeal to him.

“I love you I wouldn’t hurt you. I love you Grayson. You’re the love of my life. The problems only came with her don’t you see that,” she sobbed. “I love you,” she screeched.

He threw her on the ground in front of the keep. By that time people had come out of their homes, stoped their work, and gathered at the shocking scene.

I had never seen anything like this in my pack, loyalty was an critical quality to wolves.

“She has sold our secrets to the enemy!” He called out.

The faces of the crowd changed from horror to anger in a split second. I looked around at them all and saw the hatred for her in their eyes.

Her parents came forward her father looking her in the eye and her mother turned away.

“Papa, papa. Help me. Papa it’s a lie. I didn’t do anything wrong I didn’t I wouldn’t,” she smiled sweetly for him. “Papa you know I wouldn’t,”

But an Alphas word is law. Unimpeachable, set in stone.

“You are not my daughter,”

In return she let an anguished high pitched wail. “Someone help me!” She cried aloud.

Leon stood off to the side still unbelieving. He questioned her through his gaze.

“Grayson,” I called to him. “Do not stain the eyes of the children. Finish this inside,” I told him.

He looked out at the children here and there in the crowd. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Make no mistake she’ll die a traitors death,” he annoyed before grabbing her again and lugging her inside the keep as she fought him.

“Leon,” I demanded his presence in front of me as the crowd sat for a second before filtering away.

her a thing i

“Luna. I have not told her a thing I haven’t I swear she’s innocent,” he implored.

I rolled my eyes at his continued stupidity and blindness. Pretty faces are cruel tricks on lonely men.

“Come with me.” I told him.

I walked toward the front gates where my present had been kept. I remained silent while he continued to cling to the idea that she loved him, that she was good, that she’d never betray him or this pack.

We got the front gate and the box was still there.

I turned to him. “You didn’t tell her anything important?” I asked him.

“No,” he shook his head.

“Nothing at all?” I pressed.

“No my Luna I swear please help her,” he bowed his head to me.

“Then I should kill you here and now for treason,” I was cold with my words.

“W–w why I shave not done anything to betray Grayson. I promise you,” he was steadfast with his words. He truly believed them all.

“Open the box,” I told him.

He looked down at it and back at me.

“Now,” I raised my voice.

He knelt down with trepidation and raised the lid like something would jump out and bite him.

“Oh Goddess,” he released the lid once he saw what was inside slamming it shut again.

“Who? Who?” He looked at me and i saw it dawn on him. “Those are the enemies elders aren’t they,” he gulped.

“Read the note,” I handed it to him.

His hands were shaky as he grabbed it. He read it and looked back up at me in confusion.

“We knew there was a mole. I planted lies with the only people it could be. You, Aarron, Matt, Elizabeth, and Jessica,” 1

explained.

“This.” I tapped the box with my foot. “Was your lie. Grayson never intended to harm anyone innocent from this enemy pack, let alone the elders,”

Leon’s knees must have given out because he plumped into the dirt. “Why,”

“I’ll ask again. Is there anything you told her?” I clenched my

my teeth.

“I told her I was scared Grayson had lost his mind,” he nodded. “She told me he was only stressed,” he began wiping tears away. “So I told her what you said.“.

“And she ran to inform them, “I confirmed for him.

“I thought she wanted to marry me,” he sniffled.

“I know,” I sighed.

I left him there to go over every conversation he’d had with her. To question all of it and to come to sour, butter, ugly realization he’d been used, and she never cared for him.

Elizabeth found me as I left the gates. “My Luna,” she bowed her head to me.

I nodded to her and kept walking., she followed behind me. I could tell she wanted to ask the question lingering in her mind.

She waited until we got inside the keep at the very least.

“You suspected me of treason?” She asked me straightening her back for the true and hurtful answer.

“We did,” I told her. “We recovered information on the camp road. It only pointed to a mole of someone high up,”

“I see,” she looked shattered.

“Everyone had to be questioned,” I explained.

“Of course,” she shook her head and bowed to me slightly. “You did what was necessary Luna,”

I moved forward a step or two before stopping. “1-” I hesitated. “Grayson isn’t refusing me a child, that was lie I told to see if you were the mole,”

“Of course,” she nodded.

If she realized that meant I was probably pregnant as I was she didn’t show. I made my way downstairs below the basement and into the cells of our dungeon.

“AAAAHHHH,” I heard her piercing scream.

A crack came one of bone and b*dy another screen erupted into the echoing halls.

I sealed and prepared my self for what I’d see.

Jessica in a cell her arm bent at angle I thought impossible for a limb.

“Give me your contact,” he ordered.

“I don’t contact anyone,” she groaned.

He grabbed her by the broken bone and she gasped in a large breath at the spike of pain.

“Tell me,” he ordered again as he squeezed before dropping her back down.

She kept gasping like fish out of water rolling around in presumable agony.

“I don’t,” she managed. “I don’t contact anyone. I don’t know who,”

“Lies,” he moved to hurt her again..

“Grayson,” I vowed and he turned to me in surprise.

“Leave her. Leave her like that for now. She’ll talk,” I replied.

Jessica began laughing crazily and Elizabeth moved to shut her up. I held out my hand to stop her.

“She’ll talk,” I grabbed a knife from the all and stabbed her in the thigh. “Once she gets dizzy from blood loss,”

I dropped the silver knife on the ground and walked out.

I hurried upstairs to the first bathroom I could find locking myself in it and throwing up before I could pull my hair back.

The sound of her flesh tearing from the knife I put into her drowned out by the piping of her bone.

I had never done anything like that, seen something so horrible. I was scared but I didn’t let it show because she couldn’t get the satisfaction.

I did feel like a monster but I had to be one to get the truth from her, but only so long as I kept the turning food for my baby inside me.

“Luna are you alright?” Elizabeth called from the other side of the door.

“I’m fine,” I huffed.

I cleaned my hair out in the sink. We had found the mole, we had the upper hand again. And still I felt like we had eyes in our walls.
