Something is pulling at the back of my mind, but I can’t get a hold of it and figure out what it might mean.

I do understand that our bond shouldn’t be forming this fast and yet it doesn’t feel wrong, it feels right and I hope that we will be able to complete this bond quickly.

“Captain, we have finished going over the books. This is really bad, we need to talk to Alpha Preston.” One of my Squad members says through the mind–link, pulling me from my thoughts on my Mate–bond.

“Is your office soundproof, Darius?” I ask and I see his eyes darken, causing me to blush. “Not for that, Old Man.”

I swat his chest with minimum force, but then again I am trapped between both my Mates and can’t take a good swing at Darius, even if I wanted to.

“There is news on the Pack’s finances and it didn’t sound good.” I say as I try to wiggle out of their arms, but neither one of them is willing to let me go. Both of them bury their noses in my neck and I moan when their lips brush over my marking spots.

“Okay, I will link the others on our way down. I want to get to the bottom of this and preferably yesterday: Daxton says as he slowly pulls away from me and I immediately miss the warmth of his embrace.

1 reach back to grab his hand and pull him back against me, not ready to leave the Beta floor just yet. Going out there means that we can’t touch one another until we are inside an office again and I want to enjoy this feeling a little longer.

“Message received.” Daxton chuckles as he moves his arm around me again. “I wish this Mate–bond was done, that we don’t have to hide this any longer and it only has been three days.”

Half an hour later we are all in Darius‘ office and looking at the evidence in front of us that shows us that this pattern has been going on for decades.

“How the hell did they get away with this? Where the hell is that money?” Preston asks and I look up at Mara for

an answer.

“You mean how did she get away with it, Alpha Preston. She used computers that others were logged in to, probably causing a distraction to get them away from their seats. It is probably also the reason for the small amounts, more would have alerted others.” Mara states.

“The money is still in an account at the same bank that the Pack uses, but I made sure that she can no longer access it. It will take a while before she can access it anyway, I doubt there is a computer in the dungeons she c use.” It is good that this is a soundproof office, but everyone will have felt the Pack–house shake.

Mara points out how they found the account the missing money went to, but there was no name on the account, just a business name. It took them a few hours to find out who the owner was and that is when they saw that this had been going on for years.

As the Mate of a Beta, Madeline would have known the bookkeeping program worked and how to keep the missing money hidden. She was smart enough to avoid using her old code, realizing it would point to her immediately.

“Damn, your Mother is piece of work. She is stealing from the Pack, she tries to force one Son into a chosen Mate- bond, refuses that same Son his birthright. What else will we uncover?” I ask no one in particular, because I think that I already have that answer.

Now I am really hoping that Joshua returns after our Mate–bond is completed, because I know that Daxton holds many answers locked in that brain of his and we need those answers when Sage arrives.

We spent the rest of the day in the office, going over everything that was uncovered and we only came out for lunch and dinner. Walking up to the Beta floor already half asleep, but at least we managed to get through all the evidence.

If Darius had the hope that some day his Mother and his Brother could have some sort of relationship, then today that hope got crushed. Both of them genuinely hate their Mother at the moment and in a few days it will only become worse.

I wish I could do more for them than just revealing the truth, I wish I could take the pain they feel away. change the past and I don’t think I would want to because what good would it have done.

. I can’t

We slept in the same bed that night, Daxton and Darius didn’t want to leave my side and after the day we had,

neither did I.
