I let Ayla sleep the next morning, taking a break from our training sessions. After a quick workout with Briggs and Jimmy, we headed to my office to call Sheriff McCabe. Things had been quiet on the border, but that wasn’t surprising. Grogan and his men would know we would be on guard after the last attack. So they would be biding their time for the next.

“The task force is doing well,” McCabe said over the line. “The men you sent have been a big help in training some of the local volunteers.”

“That’s good to hear,” I said. “We questioned one of the rogues yesterday. We got some information to help us track down some of these groups. We’ve still got the other to question. I’d like for you to come back up. I want to send someone undercover if possible. But we‘ Il need your help to work out the best plan. Can you make that work?”

“I’m in the middle of hiring a new deputy,” he replied. “But that should be sorted in the next day or two. I can head up after that.”

“I can work with that,” I said. “I’ll email you the details of yesterday’s interview. Look over it and make any notes you think of. And just let me know when you’re on your way up.”

“Will do.”

We disconnected and I directed my attention to my companions.

“How do you plan to get someone undercover with a group of rogues?” Jimmy asked.

“I’ve got Mina working on a possible solution for that,” I said. “She’s

been interviewing lab companies already. She thinks she has a couple options that could help with our man’s scent. But I need you to find us the right person.”

“I can handle that,” Jimmy said.

“How are things at the college with Ayla?”

Jimmy had still been working with the security team to monitor the campus. He had asked to stay on the assignment to look for anyone suspicious paying her any extra attention. Maggie was great, but she could only focus on Ayla when on the job. That’s what she was there for. But if any other threats were lurking at the school, I wanted to know.

“So far, so good,” he said. “I’ve got a couple of the guards keeping eyes and ears out for any whispers or hints of the Waar Pak recruiting. Colleges are usually prime targets for that sort of thing. If we find anything, you’ll be the first to know.”

“Any luck with that?” I said.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we did find something. After Ayla was attacked in the packhouse, Jimmy had been searching for any members within our pack. Randy gave him some pointers on what to look for and what to do if he had any suspects.

“We have a few leads,” he said. “Both on campus and off. But nothing major yet. Could just be rebellious kids. We’ll see.”

“Okay,” I replied. “Anything else regarding this?”

“Harmon has his team together,” Briggs said. “He’s ready to start renovating the house.”

I nodded. “I’ll track him down later,” I said. “I think we’re done for

now. I’m meeting Dad to head out to our monthly lunch with the locals.”

I left my office and found Dad across the hall with Mom. She was still in the process of redoing the office space for Ayla to take over and had wrangled him into helping her. From the look on his face, he was ready for an excuse to escape her clutches.

I knocked on the open door.

“You still coming, Dad? Or did you decide to stay with Mom?” I teased.

“Oh, that’s okay, sweetie,” Mom said. “You go ahead and help Theo. I‘ ve got this.”

She looked at me and mouthed something about getting him out of her hair, and I just chuckled. We headed out of the packhouse and into the city. The meeting went well and was as enjoyable as always. We had some minor issues to address, but nothing out of the ordinary. It was a huge relief with everything else I had been juggling. When we were done, we stopped by the library to see how it looked now that the repairs were done.

I was able to upgrade the building a bit thanks to our successful second quarter with the business. We were admiring the work when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to find Sarah Walport.

“Good afternoon, Alpha Theo, Alpha Torin,” she whispered politely. “I don’t mean to interrupt. I just wanted to say hello.”

“It’s good to see you, Sarah,” I said. I invited her to join me in one of the small meeting rooms off the main hall. “How is everything going? How’s your dad?”

“We’re doing okay,” she said solemnly. “We miss Mom, of course, but This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

we’re taking it one day at a time. But I want to thank you again for everything you’ve done for us.”

Randy had found the Waar Pak operative who was responsible for Mrs. Walport’s death. There wasn’t a lot I could do without risking Randy’s

‘s cover, so I allowed him to take care of the issue himself. It was enough for me to be able to give Sarah and her father some peace, telling them that the culprit had paid for his crime.

“How’s John?” I asked.

Her expression faltered for a second.

“Sarah?” I pressed.

She shifted her weight from one foot to the other. “He’s fine, I guess,‘ she said meekly. “I don’t see a lot of him these days.”

“Why not?” I asked. “Are you two not together anymore?”

”

Sarah shrugged. “I’m not really sure. He still comes home most nights, but it’s almost always late at night. He says he’s been hanging out with friends, but it’s not Nicky and the others. They’ve said they barely see him, either. I just don’t know what to

I sighed. “I’ll talk to him and see what’s going on,” I said.

Her shoulders relaxed. “Thank you, Alpha,” she replied. “I just want to know that he’s not in any trouble.”

“So do I,” I agreed. “I’ll take care of it.”
