CHAPTER 60: GOTTCHA.

DAMIEN.

"I won't lie to you, Alpha Varon-"

"Please, call me Damien."

I am walking along the trails with Alpha Maddox, not too far from the pack to seem suspicious but far enough to be unheard.

"Okay, Damien. What you have revealed is a little too much to hear," Alpha Maddox says. "The thought that there is a traitor among us, one that would help in destroying our fellow wolves is hard to bear."

"Elias was one such wolf," I tell him. "Willow worked with him to attack my father. Is it too much to believe she would have another ally like that? One who is jealous of other Alphas? Or one who wants to be as powerful?"

"No, but to suggest this to the Alphas will not look well on you."

"Which is why I am telling you."

"Yes, why me though? If you suspect that there is a traitor amongst our ranks, how are you sure it is not me?"

"I am not," I answer.

"Then why? Why tell me all this? It is a risk is it not?"
