What are you even doing here?

That was a loaded question, with many answers. I came for answers. I came to find out if my friend was a traitor. I came to find

out if she was a spy and, if so, for whom she was working. I came to find out if she was sleeping with my ex–mate. I came to find

out if I had been a fool in trusting her.

Something about the way she was eyeing me warily showed me that she knew exactly why I was there. She wrapped her arms

around her body, desperate to hold herself together as she watched me. Neither of us said anything for what felt like a long time. I

needed to know the truth, and I had no idea how to answer her questions that were bubbling at the tip of my tongue.

“Is it true?” I finally asked, meeting her eyes. “Are you working with Ethan to hurt me and my family?” That was a question I

truly had; was she working with my ex–mate, after knowing everything he had put me through? Was she out to get my family and

me just like Ethan was? The thought made me feel sick to my stomach, and I had to drop my eyes from hers before my emotions

leaked through. I wasn’t great at keeping a poker face, and I knew she’d be able to see the defeat on my face almost right away.

I saw a flash of remorse on her face as she stared at the ground, shuffling in her spot awkwardly.

“It’s more complicated than that,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

“Complicated how?” I asked, stepping towards her. “Tell me the truth, Sammy.”

“You shouldn’t be here,” she finally stated after a beat of silence. “If Alpha Landry found out—”

“It would be me who got into trouble, not you,” I told her. “You have no control over who barges through that door, especially

when you can’t even leave it.” I point at her ankle monitor. “You are a prisoner, Sammy. Just tell me why.”

I was desperate for answers, and I needed her to start spilling or I was going to lose my mind. She nibbled on her lower lip, tears

welling in her eyes. I wasn’t sure if I trusted her tears or not… I wasn’t sure if they were crocodiles, and it worried me that my

trust in her disappeared completely.

“My intention was never to hurt you…” she whispered.

“Then what were you trying to do?” I asked her, trying to meet her eyes, but she was going through great lengths to avoid my eyes. “Sammy, please. Answer my question. Why were you working with him?”

“My name is Sammy Churchill. The youngest daughter of Levi Churchill…” she whispered, her face glowing red. “I’m Aipha

Levi’s daughter.”

“Did he send you here?” I asked.

She was quiet for a moment before she nodded slowly.

“Why?” I asked her, my tone firm as I stared around her face, studying her carefully.

She took a deep breath before releasing it slowly.

“Because he wants you to be part of the Elite Force, “she explained. “I don’t know why. But he asked me to try and convince you

to go to him.”

I raised my brows.

“What?” I asked her, not sure I heard her correctly.

“He wants me to convince you to join his Elite Gamma Force. He thinks you’d make a great addition. He wants to take you away
