Page 31 of His Undercover Wolf

Betty crossed to the middle of the room, and when she pulled one hand from a pocket of her skirt, the light glinted off a gun she held.

Blood ran liked iced water through my veins when the understanding hit with the force of a meteor—Betty, a woman I’d loved like an aunt was the person who had been betraying me, Cillian, and the company.

She waved the gun at Cillian who was now on his feet, and he raised both hands in surrender.

“Get around to the other side of the desk,” Betty ordered and thankfully, my best friend didn’t hesitate in doing what he’d been told.

Cillian stood beside me, dropped a hand onto my shoulder and squeezed. Tears burned my eyes. Never in my wildest imaginings would I have suspected Betty. The fact it was her who was the insider trader broke my heart.

“Why, Betty?” Cillian asked the question I couldn’t since my voice had deserted me.

“I didn’t want it to come to this. I should have been long gone but Xavier was too fucking slack to get someone organized. The money from this release would have gone into my account, what’s left of my son’s future would have been secured, and you would never have known it was me behind the trading of shares. Then, Evan lost fucking control, and the fucking cop started snooping around. When she called this meeting, I suspected the bitch had found something to show I was involved and it would have ruined everything.”

Betty smirked as she spoke and the look on her face and in her eyes bordered on maniacal. I wondered where the hell Evan fitted into this fucked up situation but that puzzle would have to wait until later to be solved.Ifthere was a later.

“What do you plan on doing, Betty? You won’t get away with this, no matter where you run, if Otsana has discovered it’s you.”

“Oh, you’re wrong. Evan is in the process of erasing everything so whatever the bitch thinks she found will be gone within the hour.”

“There’s still me and Cillian and the security cameras will show everything you’ve said and done since you came into the office,” I snapped, becoming more and more angry.

“Do you really think I’m stupid enough to leave you two alive? I disabled the cameras on the way in here. When the police arrive, they will find evidence that shows you killed each other. Evan will have doctored the statements for Cillian’s personal account…big mistake giving me access to that, and they will show the deposits that coincide with each release and the money being spent immediately after. Xavier found out, got mad, and in the fight that followed you killed each other.” Betty shrugged.

“Why me?” Cillian protested.

“I didn’t want to hurt Xavier, but you have always been a self-absorbed prick who cared nothing about anyone other than yourself so you deserve to have your reputation left in tatters. Enough talk. Evan and his father will be waiting for me to join them at the airport.”

Betty pulled another gun from the other pocket of her skirt and lifted it, aiming at Cillian’s chest. I trembled slightly, not knowing what I should do to keep my friend safe. I had no need to do anything…Seconds later, my office door was smashed to pieces and two wolves pounced before Betty could react.

Betty was knocked to her back, the guns flying free of her hands. Otsana stood over her chest, her massive wolf head close to Betty’s as she growled. Another wolf I thought might be Aurora stood with a paw on Betty’s arm and she was snarling, warning what would happen if the woman moved.

Betty screamed but when she attempted to move, Otsana set a paw on her throat and the older woman immediately quieted and stilled.

“What the fuck?” Cillian asked, shocked by the scene taking place.

I sprang to my feet and grabbed both guns from the floor while Cillian continued to watch the wolves in fascination.

“Cillian!”

He snapped his head toward me when I shouted. I held up one of the guns, he nodded, and I tossed it into his waiting hands.

Otsana stopped growling and her unusual eyes fixed on mine, they were filled with a mix of anger and sadness.

I winked, giving her permission to release Betty now she was under control. Otsana jumped off the elderly woman, who didn’t dare move, and circled my legs, rubbing herself against me in a breath-stealing erotic way.

The other wolf did the same to Cillian who was watching the animal in amazement.

Both wolves held their tails high in the air as they circled. When Otsana sat in front of me, I patted her head before she ran from the office with the other wolf close behind.

Keeping a gun trained on Betty, I asked Cillian to call the police which he did. I had no fucking idea how I was going to explain the wolves to him but would have to do so without revealing Otsana’s secret. Would it be possible, or had her coming to our rescue put her entire pack in danger of being discovered?

Chapter Eleven

Otsana

“Explain to me whyit was so urgent I meet you here?”

When Aodhan informed his wife was ill, I’d called Zarina and asked her to meet me at the Worlds Apart building.
