Derrick was deliberately getting on my nerves, refusing to hand the information over and I began to believe it was all bullsh!t and he was just trying to make me hand that seat to him.

It wasn’t happening.

So after the few attempts I made at trying to get information from him and any of his pack members, I gave up.

None of them knew she had a boyfriend, and Alisha’s parents even said the same when I asked.

Derrick was up to something, no one knew of any so‐called boyfriend.

What everyone did know was that Derrick treated Elena like a servant, making her run his meetings for him.

That just proves he was never fit to be on the council much less Apha of his own pack.

I think he just said that to piss me off.

He was more of a d!ck than I thought..

I had just pulled up at one of the banks the pack owned,”updated by jobnib.com” I was meeting with some investors today and I had been preparing for this meeting all week.

As I was getting out of my car though, I saw Louise; Derrick’s wife pull up beside me.

Ignoring the woman I walk toward the doors, hearing her door open and close behind me.

“Axton!” I roll my eyes.

“Alpha, Please.” she says and I shake my head continuing to walk toward the doors and I was nearly up the steps and I could hear her footsteps racing to catch up with me.

“Please, It is about Elena.

I think she is in trouble,” she calls out and I growl turning on my heel to face her.

Louise stares at me and I wait for her to speak.

She looked like Elena, though much older.

She was wearing jeans and a blouse, and not made up the way she usually was.

It was the first time I had seen her dressed so casual.

Her eyes looked tired and her face withdrawn, sad.

“Does your husband know you are here? “I ask her when she says nothing.

She shakes her head.

“Please, I think Elena needs help, Derrick refuses to go, and he has forbidden me from leaving the city,” she tells me…

“Well, what do you expect me to do about it, your daughter rejected me?”

“You played a part inthat and so did her father.

She is still pregnant, the woman that rang said Elena needed help, that she was in the town of Ryde.

She sounded very desperate on the phone pleading with him to help Elena,” Louise tells me.

“You know where she is?” I ask as she nods her head in response and she starts rummaging through her bag, she produces a piece of torn paper and holds it out to me.

Her hands tremble as she glances around nervously.

I knew Derrick would not take kindly to her seeking me out.

After what he did to Elena I could guess what he would do to Louise.

I glance down at the address, scribbled on the piece of paper.

“His name is Jake, he is a nice guy.

He was her friend,” “Not her boyfriend?” I ask and her brows scrunch together.

“What? No, Jake is gay,” she tells me and I growl wondering who this mystery boyfriend she has is.

Derrick clearly wanted me to go in there and get myself caught up by killing a human, believing he was something more to Elena that he truly was.

“And you think she is at this cafe?”.

“Jake owns it, but the woman, she said Elena was in trouble, I heard that part before Derrick hung up on her,” Louise tells me.

“How long ago was this call? Who is this boyfriend she has?” Louise shakes her head.

“That call came in days ago, almost a week since I overheard Derrick on the phone.

Elena has never had a boyfriend, Derrick never allowed it.

I’m pretty sure Jake is gay, though I never met him, Derricks has.

I know he said Jake is human,” she tells me.

She sighs, glancing back at her car.

“I have to go, but please, go see if you can replace her.”.

“If you’re so worried about her, why don’t you go?”

“Derrick would kill me, he wants nothing to do with her, but she is still my daughter.” she tells me before quickly rushing back to her car.

I watch as she climbs in and shuts the door before speeding off.

I glance down at the paper she gave me and look at the bank where I was supposed to be having my meeting in twenty minutes.

Heading toward the doors, I stop and growl, feeling Khan’s nervous energy.

Opening the mind‐link I contact Eli.

Khan was very anxious, “If what her mother says is true, that means that this Jake isn’t the nice guy Louise thinks he is.

This explains why Elena’s wolf is all over the place with her emotions.

It’s like she feels trapped and lost of hope.

And who is the woman who called Derrick? Khan raised his hackles, on edge, “Something doesn’t feel right, it never did since Elena ran off.

You better go see, our pups are at risk.” “Cancel my meeting and meet me at the city limits,” I tell Eli.

“Why, what’s going on?” “I think I know where she is,” I tell him and Eli sighs.

“See you soon,” he tells me and I run back to my car, I unlock it tossing my paperwork on the backseat, before reversing out.

That was a f*****g important meeting, she better be there because if her mother just sent me on a wild goose chase I would kill the b!tch.

Either Derrick was setting me up or Louise was, hell both of them could be setting me up for the fall.
