“Nathaniel is our main computer guy, although Jena has plenty of skill. You’ve seen them work together. His pack is closer to Canada. He’s the youngest of five boys, all warriors like both parents. His dad is the Gamma of their pack. He was obviously not going to gain that title so he focused on becoming a warrior and he happened to specialize in computer programming and with Elite, surveillance.”
“There are ten warriors patrolling the packhouse and none of them are our guys. I can’t get too close or they will hear the drone. They are inspecting all the external walls and windows though. Wyatt, what’s on the cameras?”
“Wyatt and Lillian are both warriors from neighboring packs and came up for trials. Both come from warrior families and have full Elite Warrior brands like Nathaniel. The brands bind us to Alpha Reggie magically. We cannot go against him or lie to him, do you think he would put any of us here if he suspected us of foul play? Now that I have unnecessarily over explained the legitimacy of my team, does someone want to explain what you found outside my window and why I am being treated like a traitor.”
I cross my arms and let my aura fill the room fully. I have never used my royal aura before, but the more that I talk and explain the more angry I get. The only person who does not turn their head is Alpha Lucas. He stares straight at me.
“Show her.”
Alpha Lucas says, not looking away from me. “These were hanging outside your window. You and your team are the only ones who use this kind of stuff.”
It’s a camera and listening device, similar to our equipment, but not the same. Only we would know that though since Nathaniel modifies everything we use. I don’t even know if Warrior Osiston and Alpha Reggie know. Or, if they do, they don’t say anything.
“May I touch it, sir?” I’m keeping the formality until I know what’s going on.
He nods. I use one finger to spin the device in a circle. Then I laugh, just laugh. This is so stupid and they have been played. I pick it up and open the casing. It’s empty, there isn’t any mechanics.
“How many more of these have you found around the pack house? I look up at all of them. Obviously, you have had suspicions for a while of a traitor. The tunnel construction was a big giveaway, but there have been other signs too. This was clearly planted to make you think my team and I were spying on you. I bet this wasn’t even outside my window. This isn’t ours anyway.”
“Explain.”
I open my mind link to my team so they can hear my explanation. The Alpha’s office is actually lined in a way so no one can listen in and only he and the Luna can mindlink out. He still doesn’t know all of my abilities.
“First, because we are guests here, we get permission for every ounce of surveillance equipment we use and give full access to you. It’s a policy my team and I have. Second, we do not use off the shelf tech.”
make a face. When did I become a tech snob? “We modify all of our tech to suit our needs. Each mission is different, so the surveillance needs to fit. Do you want to tell me what you really found outside my window?”
They all just stare at me. Luna Ava looks stressed. She doesn’t want to believe that I or anyone I would bring into the pack would cause them harm, but she won’t go against her mate and Alpha. The twins have never looked at me like this before. They are angry, furious with me, and they look disgusted at the sight of me. It takes everything I have to keep my focus on Alpha Lucas. His stare has been unwavering during my interrogation.
He sets a small device I have never seen before on his desk, my confusion must show. “It’s a homing device used to pinpoint locations. Our team found it outside your window after the attack. They also found that the signal matched one we found in another body parts drop from a few months back. Did you lock Kaley up after informing her of your time with the Rogue King and his guards where he mated you both?” “SON OF A B*TCH!!! I AM GOING TO KILL HER!!”
“NO!!” I had to put all my force into making Jena stay put. “She will get hers, she’s crossed the line now. But we will not be the people she claims we are. Nathaniel, I need proof it was her, now!! Send it to the Alpha’s computer. Hack his sh*t. He’s being played more than we are.
“I am disappointed in you Alpha, all of you.”
I stay dangerously calm. “She harmed pups to try and get herself to a safe room that doesn’t even exist. Believing rumors, you yourself put out there. When she was confronted, she remained disrespectful. Delta Gwen, her Aunt, placed her in a cell so she would calm down and we could tend to the pups. Jena told Kaley of her abduction and subsequent r*pe by Mike. Kaley spun that information to her advantage. Both her and her father know what equipment we use. I am glad to see where I fall in your trust hierarchy. My team and I should not be under suspicion. We have done nothing but protect this pack since we have been here. After everything you know I’ve been through and had to overcome. All the things done to me that were allowed to go unnoticed and unpunished by the four of you. You are going to question my loyalty to this pack? With all due respect, F*ck You!”
“Got it!”
“Let’s do this, I think I’m about to get kicked out anyway.”
“Look at your monitor, sir. My team was able to find the culprits. They were able to do the job you all can’t seem to do correctly while being held captive in their rooms.”
The looks of shock show on all their faces. “Stop underestimating me and I will stop proving you all wrong.”
The screen lights up and it’s four camera views. One from the hallway outside where Kaley is placing the fake camera up in a corner pointing towards the door to look like we are watching the comings and goings of the Alpha.
“Pause it there Nathaniel, we are going to do a tutorial while this goes.”
My whole team laughs.
“I wish I could see their faces.”
Lil whines.
“I’ll record it.”
“First notice that it is placed so it can be easily seen. When my team does plant devices, they don’t get found.”
“Prove it.”
Cameron growls.
“Yes, sir.”
I point to different corners of the room and as I do Nathaniel flashes the live feed on Alpha Lucas’ computer.
