Page 34 of His Undercover Wolf

“Evan and his father were arrested an hour ago and taken to Central. They both insist they had nothing to do with any of this and didn’t know what Betty was doing which we know is not true. The judge Evan paid off so you would win your case against having senior staff investigated, including his mother, has also been arrested. At this point, we have not ascertained if any of Evan’s team were aware of what was happening.”

“Did you know Betty would be here?” Xavier asked.

“Zarina and I were on our way here for our meeting when the police called in to say Betty wasn’t located at home and I figured she’d come here to confront you both. When we saw her holding a gun on you…Well, you know the rest.”

“Wait…You two are the wolves? Is this some kind of alternate universe I’ve fallen into when I was asleep?”

Xavier laughed, Cillian’s words had been identical to his when he’d witnessed me shifting. “Took you long enough to figure it out.”

Zarina pierced me with a quizzical stare. She was wondering how I was going to sort out this mess.

“Excuse me, I need to make a call.” I hurried from the office and out in the foyer, placed a call to Aodhan. I needed his advice urgently.

I explained everything that had happened and Aodhan offered his advice.

“Thanks, big brother. I think you are right about us needing to be more trusting of humans. We live alongside them and fuck ups are going to happen but we still need to be cautious of where we place our trust. I have no issue with these men.”

Aodhan requested to meet them so dinner was planned for the following night at my home. Mom and Dad would also be invited to give their input.

“I’ll see you tomorrow. Hopefully Calli will be feeling better by then.”

I disconnected the call and returned to the office. Three pairs of eyes fixed on me, expectation clear. I sat and took a deep breath.

“I just spoke with my big brother—Aodhan. He took over the Alpha male role of our pack after our father retired a year ago. I’m the Alpha female. Xavier witnessed me shifting in the early hours of yesterday morning when I became preoccupied and careless so he is aware of some of what I about to tell you, Cillian.”

“So I have dropped through a black hole into an alternate universe?” Cillian sounded almost disappointed.

I laughed. “No you haven’t.”

“Damn.”

We laughed at Cillian before I continued explaining.

“Aurora is ill today which is why I brought Zarina with me. I sensed something was wrong and it kept me awake all night. I knew I’d more than likely need help, which proved to be the case. When a wolf has a mating link, we develop a kind of sixth sense about everything surrounding them and I have that with Xavier.”

“I knew you’d fucked,” Zarina blurted.

I glared at my friend and she made a show of zippering her mouth shut.

“Continuing on…When I saw Betty holding a gun on you , and found the door locked, Zarina and I went to the bathroom and shifted. We are more agile and powerful as wolves. I knew the shock of seeing us would shock Betty and enable us to take control.”

I explained about our pack, and once done, gave Cillian the opportunity to ask questions.

“Is Aurora a member of your pack?”

Xavier showed interest in the question Cillian had asked.

“Her real name is Calliope and she’s my sister-in-law. She uses a different name when she is undercover and it is true that she’s a beat cop when not assigned to help one of the teams.”

“That’s why Betty didn’t like her,” Xavier mused. “She sensed Calliope was a threat.”

“If my team hadn’t uncovered what was going on, Calli would have figured it out. Last night when we were at my parents’ for dinner, she insisted Betty was the one insider trading and she only needed a day or two to find the evidence that proved she was right. Of course, I’d already learned that it was Betty and Calli was pleased with how fast she had zeroed in on the woman. Aodhan wants to meet you both so dinner at my place tomorrow night at 7 pm.”

Both men agreed to attending.

“I’m sorry about the situation with her youngest son. I had no idea she had children. If she’d come to me, I would have willingly paid to ensure he was well cared for in the facility,” Xavier stated.

“You single, Zarina?” Cillian asked, seemingly satisfied he’d heard everything he needed.
