TANYA:
I groaned out loud in pain as I opened my eyes to find myself in a strange large room. On the other side of the room were Katherine and Tristan. He was seated close to her and keenly watching her,
I suddenly recalled what had happened yesterday, and I heaved…
“What time is it
Tristan turned to stare at me immediately I questioned,
“Tanya, you’re awake?” He came over to me and sat close to me,
“Yeah, all thanks to you. I would have been dead by now if it weren’t for you Tristan, thank you.”
“I said I was never going to let anyone hurt you or leave your side and you told me to keep to that promise. That’s what I’m doing.”
“What time is it?”
“Past midnight.”
“How’s Katherine?”
“Why can’t I take her pain away? She sure is in a lot of pain, I can feel it.”
“Because she’s different Tristan. Our abilities don’t work on her unless she gives in or allows it to.”
He cocked his head towards her because I was certain he was amazed too. “How’s that even possible?”
“I have no idea, but Katherine is very special. Maybe because she’s your mate, but mine doesn’t work on her too, so that can’t be the reason. How were you able to find us? How did you know we needed help?”
“I could feel that she was in danger. I could feel that she needed help because she called for it. I don’t know how, but I felt it and I hurried here. I took a big risk because I had promised you I wouldn’t let Leo see me, but….”
“No, Tristan! No. You didn’t take any risk. Leo was bound to know anyway, and you saved us. I’m happy you came, especially for Katherine. I might have survived it, but not Katherine.”
We both turned our heads to stare at her lying unconscious on the bed,
“How can I take her pain?”
“We’ll have to wait until she’s a little conscious. Maybe I can talk to her.” I responded. With Tristan’s help, I sat down upright on the bed,
“What happened? What happened to Leo? I’ve never seen him like that before. That wasn’t him, I swear it wasn’t. His eyes were…”
“I don’t f*cking care who it was or what happened to him. He should thank his f*cking stars he didn’t end up killing him ‘cause I’m gonna rip him apart if he did.”
“Take it easy, Tristan. Leo’s still our brother and we have to find out what happened to him. He’s a lycan like us, and what if someday it happens to any of us?”
“It won’t. Pretty certain it was nothing unusual. He’s always been a monster since he was a kid, and maybe he just

wouldn’t hide his true form anymore. You’re right, Tanya, I’m done sitting back and watching everything go the wrong way. I think it’s f*cking time I take what’s mine. It’s time I take what belongs to me, and not sit back and watch my twin brother decide my fate anymore.”
Iarched my brows as I stared at Tristan.
“What suddenly changed your mind, Tristan?”
This was what I had been meaning to hear,
“She.” He stared at her as he continued,
“I want that woman for myself at all costs.”
ALPHA ZANE:
Now we were alone in my study room.
“Please have a seat,” I said, and when he sat down, I walked over to the small shelf to get us a bottle of good wine and glasses.
“This would be nice for my father–in–law, don’t you think?”
“Ahhhh, red wine. You thought well son.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
I dropped it on the table and took my seat. This room was sound proof so there was no way anyone could hear us out there.
Now that Jane was on my suspected list, I couldn’t let her in on everything. I recall back to when she desperately wanted Katherine dead even after she escaped from the dungeon.
I poured wine into the two glasses and dropped one on the small table close to him,
“Thank you.”
I took my seat and cleared my throat aloud. “I can see my daughter’s happy with you, Alpha Zane. It makes me proud as I father.”
“Your daughter? Your blood or your half–daughter?”
I knew I was too quick with my question, and he didn’t respond. He probably acted like he didn’t understand the statement I had just made.
“Yes, she’s indeed very happy with me. Are you well aware that your first daughter still lives?” I scoffed, and drank from my glass,
“She escaped before we could give her the punishment she truly deserved, death.”
I watched as he widened his eyes,
“Katherine must be a smart one, like her mother. Do you think she did deserve that punishment.. death? Do you think she deserves to die? What if it isn’t just her that deserves it?”
“She committed a crime. And regardless if she’s my daughter, I think you should do what’s right too. She was your wife too, and it must have been really hard to have passed through such.”
2/4
This was him trying to play smart with me.
“She was my daughter, not until she committed a grievous crime that deserves a grievous punishment. I knew I couldn’t save her anymore and I had to let her go. She tainted the family’s image and destroyed our reputation, but gladly you had mercy on my family by not eliminating us all.”
As he spoke, I suddenly wished I had made them all suffer as well for what they had all said Katherine did.
“I wonder how you all were able to find out. You brought your daughter in as a traitor yourself. Were you never worried? Did you ever think to try and hide what she did because she was your daughter?”
“If I had done that, it would be putting myself and Jane in grave danger when an investigation is being carried out and the truth comes to light my family would go down alone with my daughter.”
I nodded my head,
He sure had a good reason, but I needed to find a loophole.
“I didn’t investigate myself. I was thinking of carrying out my investigation to find out the clarity of the proof. What do you say? Katherine’s alive, I heard some uncertain strange words from her sometimes back.”
I saw his hands shake,
“About what?”
“Oh, it’s nothing to worry about. It doesn’t concern any of you. It’s just a little bit of clues here and there.”
“Oh. You shouldn’t believe her if you’d ask me. A traitor would never admit who they are even when pointed with a sharp knife.”
“That’s true. And that’s why we’d have to use another method to make them say whatever truth we deeply desire to know right? I’m planning on reopening this case for proper investigation this time around. I’ll be in charge this time around.”
We were both silent, and he nodded with a sudden smile on his face,
“That’s true, and it’s good if you do that.”
“You wanted to talk about the pack? What’s wrong? What advice would you like to seek?
“That’s it. That’s all I need. Since I have your go–ahead to do that, I’d do just that. This is really about the pack Mr William. It has to do with the pack safety because we can’t have the real culprit in the same pack walking around scot- free, don’t you think?”
He nodded, “You’re right. If you need my help with anything, please inform me and I’ll be glad to lend a helping
hand.”
“That won’t be necessary because I already started getting everything ready. Thank you by the way.”
I was done drinking and I dropped the glass.
“Shall we? Your daughter must worried.” I said and we rose to our feet. As he turned around
to begin walking away, I let out a smirk,
This was just the first plan, and now let’s see what reaction I get after this little truth.
