When | slam out of Cyra's room, Zach, Landon, Chase, and Piper are standing against the opposite wall waiting
for me.
"We heard you yelling. What can we do?" Zach asks. He's very quickly becoming someone | trust and admire.
| look around, seeing that people are now waking up.
"Not here," | say.
"Follow me," Zach says, and the five us head to the library. The others wave at the person behind the front desk
but I ignore them completely. I'm sure my fury is rolling off ofin waves, but | can't seem to pull it back.
She lied to me.
'She lied to us. Even if it was by omission,’ Thad says. He's angry too, although not nearly as angry at Cyra as he
is with Stellan.
Zach leads us to the back corner where we met with Tracker.
We sit and | look at my knuckles that are now healed but still covered in blood. | begin rubbing the blood off my
knuckles and thankfully, the others wait until | can get my anger under control enough to speak.
"Cyra is an only child," | say quietly.
It's quiet a moment, then they all start talking at once.
"The fuck?"
"Are you fucking kidding me?"
"She didn't think that was important for us to know?"
"Why the fuck would she keep that to herself?"
| look up, looking at each of them. "Exactly."
“Fuck, Shakespeare. What are you going to do?"
"I'm not going to let that fucking asshole win," I say, then proceed to tell them that
he has a fated mate, but obviously, we now know that his title of Alpha means
more than his fated mate.
"Do you know who she is?" Piper asks.
| give her a look.
"Right. You didn't even know Cyra was an only child. None of
us
did," she says.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZach leans back in his seat, thoughtful. "So, Stellan is a second son. He wants to be Alpha. That explains his part
in this, him if his title is more important to him than she is."

growl, standing and beginning to pace as the need to punch something comes back full force.
"He can't reject her. It's her pack. | can't imagine any pack standing for that,” Piper says.

"He basically said he had no intention of being with her after she bears him an heir. If she doesn't reject him,
she'll live a life suffering from his infidelity.
until it kills her."
"I'm sure that's what he's hoping for," Landon says.
"And if she does reject him, she'll most likely have the swar that she's trying to avoid now only it will be
Alpha against Luna instead of Alpha against Alpha," Chase says.
| hadn't considered that. Cyra either agrees to give him an heir and dies a slow death, or it's war. Whether it's
now or later, her pack is headed for war because even if Cyra is willing to lay down her life for this agreement,
I'm not willing to stand by and let the woman I love die at the hands of that asshole.
"What the fuck are all of you doing here? Don't think for one minute that just because | met you here you can
congregate here anytyou please. This is my space," Tracker says, walking up behind me.
"Sorry, Tracker. We needed a private place to talk, and you weren't here," Zach says to her.
She looks at everyone, assessing and when her eyes finally fall on me, she nods. "Figured it out finally?"
"You knew?"
She givesa look. "Of course | knew. What kind of a tracker would | be if | hadn't figured out that your mate is
an only child."
"Why didn't you say anything?" Piper asks her.
"Because, in my line of work, you don't say something unless you have all the facts. | didn't. | was pretty sure |
was right, but | wasn't positive. And you also don't anything if you aren't prepared for whatever blow back your
statement causes. | wasn't sure | was prepared for that either. Based on the gossip that spreading like wildfire

shorts too.
"Have you heard anything from Hacker?" Zach asks her. She pulls her eyes away fromand looks at him.
"No, but | hear he's working with someone new," she says.
"Sphinx," Piper says.
"Yeah, that's her."
"Who is she? Is she part of your group?" Landon asks.
"No. | don't know who she is, but she isn't here at the Academy. Hacker isn't forthcoming about his new partner
and again, in our line of work, you don't ask questions unless you really want or need to know the answer and |
don't," she says, forcing her way to the table and setting down her computer in a gesture that says to get the
fuck out of her way.
"Hey Tracker, is there any chance you could figure out who Alpha Stellan's fated mate is?" Piper asks her.
Tracker turns her gaze on Piper. "Why?"
"Because shit for brains Stellan is planning to keep her on the side until he gets Cyra pregnant with an heir.
Then, according to what he told Yorick, he's planning to be with her. We both know that will kill Cyra eventually,
Alpha or no, but | want to find out more about this mate. Who is she, is she a willing participant or a patsy in all
of this. I'm an Alpha female, sas you. If he's duping her, | want to help protect her," Piper says,
Tracker looks at her a long time, thinking it through. "I'll see what | can find out." "Thanks, Tracker."
"You can thankby gettingmore of those chocolate covered strawberries you broughtthe last time.
Those were good."
"Two dozen?" Zach asks.

"That's a good start," she says, not looking up as she boots up her computer. It's a clear indication that this
conversation is over and we need to get out of
her space.

When she sees me, she stands, waiting for me.
"See you later, bro," Zach and the others say, walking past my door and nodding
at Cyra.
"Hey guys," she says softly before turning her attention back to me. "Can we
talk?"

"Don't ever fucking lie toagain, Cyra."
"lI won't. | promise," she whispers against my neck, then breaks down into tears.
