"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 beca 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 tellwhat 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 atlike 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 twith 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 tothat 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 underestimatingand 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.

"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.
"You have been watching us?!" Luna Ava says shocked.
My eyebrows ctogether in a look of disbelief. "Now that the tables have turned, you are surprised? Someone has been manipulating you both for years. Of course I have always had my suspicions, but no proof. You both allow too many things to go on unchecked in your pack. I figured it was blackmail and was trying to get proof to set you free." I shrug.

all of "You are onto something, but I have my reasons for my actions and you are not privy to them." He is direct in his answer, not accusing or mean. I just move on, I need to get awayn ees to get awayn from all of th"Next, as I have already shown you, they do not work, they are dummy cameras. There are no lights or wires to indicate a power source, a basic point that anyone could look for. And whoever took it down should have had trouble detaching it from the wall, but it was probably put up there with double sided tape. You were duped." I roll my eyes. "As for the beacon, when were you told it was in my room?"
"After Kaley was released, she and Kevin had a meeting here to discuss what she had heard in the tunnel.” Alpha Lucas looks uncertain. "We found it while we did a full search of the packhouse today." "Was iPohly warriors that helped with the search or was it all hands on deck, except for my team?" Their looks telleverything I need to know, but I ask anyway. "Who searched my room? Was she by herself since 'she probably wouldn't find anything anyway and it will keep her busy?" I air quote. "So you let the one person who hatesthe most, and is not quiet about it search my room for something planted by a potential traitor?" Now I'm the one disgusted.
The screen flashes again. Nathaniel speaking from his prison. It's the feed from my room this morning. Kaley walks in and closes the door and starts to look around, touching literally everything in the room. She picks up one of Cam's sweatshirts and smells it before shivering. After examining for way too long, she moves to my window and opens it, pulling the device out of her pocket, not being secretive at all. She places it on the window sill and then starts calling for someone. There isn't any sound but Alpha Lucas, my dad and a few pack warriors cin. I can see the smug look on her face at my dad's reaction. He is angry, yelling who knows what and pointing from my bed to the device, to outside. Clearly emphasizing his distaste for me.
I just stand there letting tears run down my face. I don't know why this let down feels any different than the last time. I make a circling motion over my head. My signal for my team to pack their stuff. We can't leave the pack yet, our orders were to stay here until the threat has been neutralized. We will just take one of the houses on the pack border and continue doing our jobs as assigned.
