I’m not ready to give Scarlett more stress and decide to answer Dad civilly. The things I do for her.

“There’s a traitor amongst us. Did Daniel not say anything else?” I ask. Scarlett frowns.

“No, and I’m sure if there was, don’t you think he would have?” Dad counters. Scarlett nods in agreement.

“Only if there wasn’t something in it for him… It’s a shame you don’t let me tear him apart for what he did,” I growl.

“You know the rules, Elijah. We can’t mess with another’s pack. His allies are already isolating him. That is enough.” Dad stands up. “Let’s get to this meeting and put your mind at rest.” I say nothing. I know he is right. I will get my answers soon enough.

“I’ll see you later,” Scarlett says before pressing her lips against mine, kissing me deeply, making Dad shake his head and leave the room first. I pull her close, making her shift in my lap until she is now straddling me.

“If you’re going to kiss me, Kitten, make it hot,” I murmur, nibbling on her lip. And this time I don’t hold back, slipping my tongue into her mouth as I caress her tongue with my own. Cutting back a deep groan when she rubs herself against my growing bulge.

“Don’t tempt me, Alpha,” she whispers before our lips meet once again. I twist my fingers into her hair, taking control. My other hand slips under her dress and cups her ass, realising she is only wearing a thong. I curse against her lips, her arousal hitting me hard.

“Fuck, you’re driving me wild,” I murmur. Her breathy moans are making me crazy, but before I can do more, she forces herself back.

“You have a meeting to attend, remember?” she reminds me, tracing my lips with her finger as she gets off my lap, still a little breathless. I run my hand through my tousled locks and adjust my pants. Smirking at how her eyes flash when she looks at my obvious hard-on.

“Elijah!” Dad calls.

“Fuck, we need our own fucking place,” I mutter, standing up and delivering a sharp slap to her ass. I smirk as she jumps and glares at me. I wink at her before I leave the room, ready to face this meeting.

A short while later, Ilook around at those I have gathered. There are certain members, like Monica, Jessica, and the younger wolves, that I didn’t call to the meeting.

I have my suspects, Fiona and her father, are at the top of that list since they do have a reason.

Although I am not expecting it to be Fiona, not thinking sheis capable of something so cruel. Then again there’s a possibility her infatuation with me drove her to it. Who knows? I’m not taking any chances. That day, I had caught her scent when we were leaving, accompanied by the strong feeling of being watched.

I glance at her. She stands quite close to me, watching me with that irritating look in her eyes. I wish I had never fucked her to begin with. Just the thought now repulses me.

“I’m not here to waste my time when I have many things to attend to. If it wasn’t for someone in this pack sharing intel with the enemy, we may not have lost as many as we did,” I say. My eyes flitting between the Williamsons, not missing the way Fiona’s eyes widen, the colour draining from her face, her heartbeat quickening.

My stomach twists. I just got my answer.

I almost scoff. “Before I even ask anyone to step forward, what do you think is the befitting punishment for such a crime?” The members exchange looks, a few muttering to one another and shaking their heads.

“Throw them in the cells to rot!”

“Better yet, exile them from the pack, declare them rogue; they can die or fend for themselves.”

“Kill them. I mean, we lost loads! I lost my sister!”

“As Alpha, you need to set an example. Kill them.”

“A lash for every person we lost,” Uncle Nick suggests coldly. Liam’s loss had hit him hard. He was like a son to him, too.

“I like that idea,” I say quietly. “And then death.”

Fiona gasps, her heart thundering as she takes a step back. She stares at me, her heart hammering, but even as she strugglesto calm herself, she’s a fucking open book.

“Fiona, step forward,” I say icily, my cold eyes glaring into her hazel ones. Everyone stares at her, shocked that I called her forward. She’s known to all as a sweet and caring young woman.

Could I be wrong? I don’t think so, not after her reaction. Letting my Alpha aura roll off me, I step closer to the trembling girl.

“Did you tell anyone about what car Scarlett was travelling in?” My command for an answer vibrates through the room. Her father tenses; his eyes wide as he stares at his daughter in shock. Fiona drops to her knees, sobbing as she makes to grab my leg. I step back smoothly.

“I love you! I did it for you! I deserve to be by your side! I didn’t mean for anyone else to die! Just Scarl-” My eyes flash, white-hot rage blazing through me.
