“My intel on you was that you are loyal to a fault and that you had your eyes on a particular wolf already,” Alice smiled in Bell’s direction. “So, I took a chance. I figured your loyalty to her would make it unpleasant to deal with my flirtation. While your loyalty to Summer and the diplomatic repercussions of the exchange would stop you from taking action against my behavior.”
“Huh… so you were never really interested in me?” Galen asked.
Bell and Axel both turned their attention to him, one with a look of curiosity and the other with murderous intent.
Alice leaned forward with her elbow on the table. She rested her chin in her hand.
“Do you really want to know?” she asked with a devious grin.
Galen swallowed, suddenly feeling very trapped.
“Excuse me, are you Alice?”
They all turned to a woman standing a few feet from the table.
“That’s me,” Alice replied.
“We received a package for you,” the woman said, holding up a box.
Alice stood up and approached the woman.
“Thank you,” she said, taking the small box.
The woman nodded and walked away.
“What is it?” Axel asked.
“Not sure,” Alice replied, sitting down in the chair beside him as she opened the box.
“We need to go,” Bell said. “The convoy leaves in the morning, and there are a few things I need to see personally.”
Galen nodded sadly.
“We’ll see you guys later,” he said.
Axel nodded and waved as they gathered their things and left the table.
“So… do you?” Bell asked as they walked away.
“What?” Galen replied.
“Want to know the answer.”
“Hey Ren, look, it’s Grandma Fiona!” Galen said and suddenly hurried away.
Axel sniggered as he watched them leave the mess hall.
“The protection detail on the convoy….” Alice said. “We should increase it.”
Axel turned to her with furrowed brows. She stared into the box, her jaw clenched and a look of concern in her eyes.
He reached out and took her hand.
“What is in the box, Alice?” he asked.
Alice swallowed.
“It’s not what is in it that concerns me right now,” she said, reaching in and pulling out a folded paper. “But who sent it.”
Axel took the paper from her hand and opened it.
[You’re finally free, no more doll, no more leash. Now neither of us is caged.
See you soon, my Alice.
Yours,
Roman]
Alexander was in a foul mood.
He ignored the calls as long as he could, taking his time to enjoy the morning buried deep inside his wanton wife.
The two of them were equally guilty of their shameless behavior. Though the venue had changed from the forest to the treehouse, Alexander and Selene had barely spent a moment not indulging their desires.
He had lost count of the number of times. All he knew was that their need for each other was insatiable.
But the calls didn’t stop, and eventually, Galen came to their door.
Selene lay on the bed, curled in the blankets, as she mournfully watched him put clothing on.
Rationally, she knew they needed to return to the world and their duties. But she still craved him.
As he pulled up his pants, she was tempted to rip them down and take matters into her own hands.
“It’s hard enough to push down my own need,” Alexander growled in a husky voice.
Selene looked up to see the faint glow in his eyes and the heavy chest falls of holding back. She chewed her bottom lip with an impish grin.
Alexander growled and turned toward her, ready to remove the clothing he had just put on. Surely, they had time for a quick round.
He moved toward the bed, and Selene pulled back the sheets, drawing a hungry growl from him at the sight of her naked body.
The sound of the door opening drew their attention.
Selene quickly pulled the sheet back to cover herself. Alexander turned with a snarl.
“Alpha Alexander! I am done waiting!” Galen shouted from the door. To his credit, he turned away from the bed.
Alexander snarled and grabbed Galen roughly by the shoulders.
“How dare you!”
Galen pushed Alexander away, just enough to force his release. Alexander looked at him with surprise.
“You are not the only one with someone to protect!” Galen growled.
Alexander furrowed his brows.
Selene gathered the sheets around her and got up from the bed.
“Ren? Bell? What happened? Are they ok?” she asked.
Galen took a deep breath.
“Roman’s alive.”

As Selene opened the door to the small conference room, she heard part of an ongoing argument.
“It is not safe,” Axel growled.
“I understand the concern, but we don’t know that he even cares about me anymore,” Bell said. “Maybe with bond severing, he has moved on.”
“Bell’s right. He doesn’t care about her,” Alice said as she looked at the laptop in front of her.
“See?” Bell said.
“But there’s no way he moved on,” Alice added, giving Bell an apologetic look.
Bell sighed and sat down at the table.
“How do you know?” Selene asked.
She moved further into the room as Galen entered behind her, immediately moving to Bell’s side and putting a protective arm around her. Alexander shut the door behind them.
“Real answer?” Alice asked.
Selene and Alice looked at each other, and a silent conversation was had between them.
‘Will you believe anything I say?’
‘I’m willing to listen.’
Alice licked her lips and then turned her full attention to Selene.
“Roman is not just any old psycho. He’s been a monster since he was a child. It’s why Tomas tried to hide him away. Before he met Bell, he had hurt people and mutilated them. But Axel was the only one he came close to killing.”
Axel clenched his jaw as she spoke.
“After Bell ‘died’, Tomas sent him into the world. And out there, he made a name for himself among the humans. He became a serial killer.”
Selene swallowed.
“I’m sorry to say it,” Alice said, glancing at Bell, who gave her a sad but knowing look. “But every one of them was just another version of Bell.”
“Goddess…” Selene whispered in disbelief.
