Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty One 

The bruise had all healed up, but still, I couldn’t help but worry if he was completely fine. 

“Are you okay?” I questioned, and he nodded. I was going to get angry at him for risking his life later, for now I was just happy he was back.” always knew something was up with Bailey. ” I said to myself. 

“Is there any news about the pack I should be aware of?” Thane questioned, but Axel shook 

his head. 

“Nothing new.” 

He was clearly still mad, and I could understand that. They were close–closer than brothers, if I might say. 

“Come on, Axel, I know…” 

“You don’t know anything,” Axel said, cutting him off. “You’re keeping secrets, and I don’t appreciate it. As your beta, I’m here to support you. But keeping me in the dark, like with my mother and now this ‘master‘ plan? That’s not our way.” 

“I apologize.” Thane said, the smirk on his lips contradicted his words. “But I need to hear what Riley has to say about this.” 

“What do I have to say?” 

“You know something; you kept it from me, so I am clearly not the only one keeping secrets. Would you mind spilling the beans?” he asked, the smirk still on his lips. Axel’s piercing gaze locked into mine, his eyes searching for answers. And in that instant, the pieces fell into place. 

“Some nights ago, I saw something. I had been standing by the balcony when I spotted this figure in the dark and so I went…” 

“You went to check out two unknown figures in the dark?” Axel asked in astonishment. 

“I am fine, as you can see.” 

“Sorry,” he muttered. “Go on.” 

“It was Bailey and Beatrix; I heard them talking about completing some task or something.” 

“And you didn’t think about telling me that till now?” Thane asked. 

“Did that hurt you, Alpha? I mean, we are all keeping secrets now,” Axel said with a shrug. 

“Very funny, but it would have saved me a whole lot of time if I knew about it.” 

“She threatened my mother Thane. She said if I told anyone, then she would kill her, and I know she wasn’t lying when she said she has a spy there.” 

“She won’t do a thing to your mother.” Thane assured.

“You seem so sure.” 

“When your 

mother was heading back to her pack, I sent someone to keep an eye on her; with you back here, she is in more danger than she had been before your return.” 

“So Bailey wouldn’t have gotten to her.” I say. 

“No, she wouldn’t.” 

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, I just…” 

“It’s alright. She has been captured now; I think it’s time we have a little chat with her.”
