Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 111

"And we are telling you what to expect. Naya Cod is a f*****g elder-born, not created. Baron Diego killed the Aloha storm and is up our asses every day. Not to mention, there is a spy in the pack. We know it can't be you, seeing how badly you have been mauled. It's someone close to Alpha." Kyle heaved in anger. "I feel we are so close, but I lost the clue. There's no hint whatsoever."

I opened my mouth, wanting to say something, but then I closed it. Beta Brooke caught the movement immediately. "You know something?" He started. s**t, I have managed to

• plant the seed of suspicion in him already.

I shook my head. "I know nothing."

"You know, I still don't trust you. I wonder how you have managed to win the Alphas over... I don't think it's because you are an elder. It's more intimate than that." Beta Brooke frowned. I wouldn't put it past him to figure it out sooner than I imagined. Like I said, he was older and had worked for the Alpha for many years before his untimely death. I was no match against such a smart man.

All of it was going too fast. He leaned closer to me, well aware that Zeke and Kyle could still hear me. "Once I figure it out, 'll trust you. But if I notice your affiliation with the spy, you are going to be punished." I swallowed. "Sure."

Zeke sighed. "That being said. You have a job to do, Beta Brooke. And that's to help me set the pack in order. I need to know our boundaries, territories, market routes, and so many other things. I also need to know how to use the elders. They seem f*****g useless to me."

Beta Brooke scoffed. "Or you haven't figured them out. You know, your father had similar issues, but he figured it out."

Zeke was attentive. "How?"

"His wolf." He simply replied. "Do you know that the wolf has the capability to converse with an elder? Your wolf knows how to make them answer you. He's just being smug if he has been hiding that information from you all this time." Zeke's calmness told us he was aware. Jeez, Flame was an a*****e, wasn't he? "Flame knows how to do that. He hasn't told me yet because I am withholding something precious from him." He was looking at me now.

What could he be talking about? Was it about the fact that we were mate? I glanced at Kyle, and he seemed to be aware of that too. Was I the only one who didn't know? I wouldn't have known if this discussion hadn't taken place in the first place.

Beta Brooke eyed our interaction. "Then give it to him. Both of you need to work together. There is no point in locking him out. He's only going to make more deals and put you in a tight spot. Trust me, I know that feeling." Beta Brooke chuckled lightly. "The Alpha complained a dozen times before he got the hang of it. I can tell you that Storm wasn't an easy wolf. It was hard to ask him to accept Volt as his wolf."

I nodded as if he were talking to me. There was so much to learn from him, too. "Did he accept to work with Volt? How did he pick you as his beta?"

"Hard work." Beta Brooke glanced at Kyle. "You have to be there."

Kyle grinned. "I am always here."

"No." Beta Brooke wasn't smiling. "I am talking about actually being here. To be responsible."

Kyle wasn't hearing any of it. "You know I am not cut out

"Yet, you dragged your a*s all the way to the Blood Moon Pack to find your father's murderer?" Oh, he knew. s**t.

Zeke placed both hands in his pockets. "We were going to tell you."

"Did it even occur to you that leaving the pack was a bad idea? And you left it in the hands of a f*****g woman! Not to discriminate, but she's not to be trusted." Beta Brooke pinched the bridge of his nose. "You should only leave the pack in the hands of people you trust." "Reid is also in charge." Zeke reminded him.

"Reid? And who the f**k is Reid? Who has the power over the pack? Reid or Marley?"

"s**t! Marley isn't as bad as you paint her to be, okay?

She's just a woman who you need wisdom to follow." Zeke was defending her again. I was tempted to tell him otherwise what I thought of her. She was a b***h to me and to her mate, that's what.

"Yeah, no shit." Kyle mocked as he stood akimbo.

"I can tell you right now that Reid doesn't run things; Marley does. The attack didn't just come from thin air, like I told you." He looked at me for reference, to which I nodded Despite our differences, he hasn't directly insulted me. I still respected him for being the beta of the pack, even though he was under Zeke and Kyle.

A loyal wolf. *

"Marley just needs me there to check on everything, okay? accept it was a mistake, going to the Blood moon pack and all that, but I just need you to focus on your job. In the next full moon, I'll allow Vilt to talk to Flame so that we can settle this out about the elders. I have already gotten an original one by my side, so if they can't answer to me, then they have to look for somewhere else to call their home." Zeke seemed angry now.

"It isn't up for negotiation. Although they can't just leave and walk right into the arms of Baron Diego. They can eliminate this pack if they want to." Beta Brooke sighed. He wasn't all in for Zeke's idea. It was as if he were a child.

That was what we were to Beta Brooke-children.

"I am sorry, I was not thinking straight." Zeke admitted.

"That's why we need you. To guide us through." Kyle spoke slowly. These were the f*****g alphas of the pack, yet they were humble enough to ask for guidance from their father's most trusted wolf

My respect for them increased. "I am on their side. You don't even know what I am capable of doing. If only you knew."I smirked

Beta Brooke shook his head, amused. "Alright. We have work to do, wolves. You see Scar and the others right there?" He asked, pointing at Scar, who was busy arranging heavy bags into a large truck. I wondered when that got here. Was I so engrossed in the conversation that I never heard of the engine?

"When did that get here?" Kyle asked in wonder. I thought I, was the only shocked one.

. Jeez.

"A few minutes ago. We have always had one for an emergency." Zeke replied. He was truly prepped for this Alpha thing, huh? Who knew what I was getting myself into?

"Exactly. So Kyle. I need you to tell me if you know anything about a certain spy."

Kyle squinted. "I don't think I know anything about the spy, although I do suspect someone."

My ears perked up as to who that person would be. "Who is that?" He was staring intensely at me. He knew. He f*****g knew about Marley's act. Maybe not entirely the part about plunging a knife into the Alpha's rins and hiding that fact.

She has been so meticulous that nobody is even asking for the autopsy results. Everyone just assumed he was killed by the rival pack. Now she has requested to create the Alpha to bury other evidence. Dr. Ali's hands are so tied that he can't do anything to upset Luna.

Anyone who says otherwise would be putting themselves in jeopardy. Kyle and I were vulnerable. The only ones who could point a hand at Marley and go scott free were Beta Brooke and Zeke. In order for Beta Brooke to do that successfully, Zeke has to be aware of her cunning activities.

It was so complicated that I'd rather hit my head on the wall than expose her without a concrete plan. What if that went haywire and Zeke learned to distrust me instead? She could pin all of this on me and say that since the monsters were after me, it meant I was in league with them or something! I don't know.

After a long pause, Zeke rolled his eyes.

"I already know

what you are talking about. Jeez, Kyle, leave her alone."

Kyle raised his hands in surrender. "I know, I know, I am just saying." Wow, he was just in the same spot as I was.

Without a concrete plan, we couldn't accuse the Luna of anything.

What if she had been backed up by the elders who could wipe us out? It was terrifying. At least, I'll be safe. I was an elder.. right?

An elder without f*****g training or control of her power over five elders with centuries of training. They were as cunning as a squirrel and powerful as well. Great. What made me so special anyway? I guess when I tell them about the event at the blood moon, 'll find

out.
