~James POV~
I was sitting in the dining hall with Sebastian and Natasha. We were eating and Natasha was telling me about how she and Sebastian knew each other,
"My father needed alias amongst the werewolf kind, and so he reached out to a few different packs. The half-moon pack was one of them. Madeline didn't know anything about him at the time and wanted to go along with his offer. However, Sebastian wasn't interested in it. He sensed that my father wasn't a person you wanted to be on the same team with. He also came asking for this pack, but your parents refused. However, a pack of this magnitude and strength was exactly what he needed, and that's when I came into the picture.
He refused to leave the pack alone and was ready to start a war against you. When Carlos told me this I decided to pay you a little visit and the second he knew that I was apart of the knight family he began plotting and planning. Sebastian was going to help him,"
"Forced to help him." He corrected.
"They were going to ambush you and Crow was going to hem my magic so that I wouldn't be able to help. However, he changed his plans suddenly. I don't know why, but Sebastian and I got into it because he knew Derick, they're cousins. I and Sebastian never got along and when I found out who he was I realized the reason. We both lost someone we loved, and we both lost him to my father. We were each other's memories of him. I guess neither of us could handle it."
I looked at Natasha who seemed to feel guilty, and Sebastian wore the same feelings. However, now we all had the same enemies so we had to work together or we were all fucked.
"Hey!" Avery and my brother came walking into the dining hall and grabbed some food before coming to sit with us.
Hey, Blade, does Alex seem weird to you?
'He seems upset'
What happened?
A long silence followed before Blade answered me.
'I don't know, but I think it's better that we don't ask him. A lot of things are happening right now, James, but the worst has yet to come'
You're being cryptic again
I said in annoyance.
I didn't get an answer. Blade was ignoring me.
"How is everything?" Avery asked in her sweet honey-laced voice, making me want to take her and lock us in the bedroom alone for eternity. God, I love her.
"Everything is well. I'm truly sorry about what I was planning to do." Sebastian answered her.
"It's okay, really, you didn't have much of a choice."
"James, I was wondering after we had eaten if you would have time to take a walk with me?" Avery asked as she placed her hand on mine. Alex looked at me with worry. What the hell was going on?
"Of course." I simply answered. Any time spent with Avery was time well spent.
She smiled and continued eating and before anyone could say anything else Amber stormed in looking furious.
"We need to talk!" Everyone turned their attention to Amber and we all got up on our feet, except for Avery who had a mouthful of potatoes and chicken in her mouth. She looked up on everyone, and then rolled eyes at me and shrugged.
"I'm hungry." I smiled at her cuteness before placing a kiss on her cheek.
"You stay here and eat, I'll be right back." Avery nodded and ate her food while the rest of us walked towards my office.
To my surprise when I walked into my office, Sofia was standing there, her hands cuffed behind her back and a guard by her side.
"What the hell is this?" I asked, looking at Amber.
"Sofia has been talking to Crow." Amber answered. Sofia looked scared and startled all at once. She shook her head frantically.
"No! I swear I haven't!" She tried defending herself, I tried thinking rationally but both me and Blade were on a thin thread and ready to kill anyone who had any information or any participation in the things that were happening.
I looked over at Amber who was seething. Her face was red and her fists were shaking.
"Explain." I said using my alpha tone.
"When I and Avery got back home, I heard Sofia talking to some other she-wolves. She got a phone call and walked away. I followed her and heard that she was talking to him. They were talking about an attack, and about Avery." She said and when she said Avery's name I could sense Stella surfacing and Amber took a step forward.
"SHE'S LYING!" Sofia screamed and Amber's eyes were now glowing, Stella had control.
" She's lying, I swear that's not what the call was!" Sofia reeled again looking mad as hell and Amber started walking towards her.
"ENOUGH!" I roared, making everyone freeze and forcing Stella to stand down.
I looked over at Sofia who was shaking, I couldn't take any risks.
"Take her to the dungeon." I said and Sofia once again started shaking her head as she tried to free herself from the silver cuffs on her wrists.
"No! You can't do this! I will kill you!" The guard dragged her out of my office and before they made it over the threshold I saw Sofia's eyes turn yellow. She was trying to shift, however, it was meaningless. She wouldn't be able to shift with silver containing her wolf.
"James, i will kill her." Amber said. I looked over at Alex and the others who were standing there. The only two people who weren't mad but looked rather confused were Natasha and Sebastian.
"Something is wrong." Natasha said as she looked towards the door.
"I don't understand, why would one young she-wolf do this to her own pack?" Sebastian asked looking at me as if he was expecting a certain answer.
"Because she's in love with the Alpha." Alex answered.
I looked at Sebastian, he was still looking at me, expecting an answer and not just an answer but the answer, what was he fishing for?
"You believe she was set up." I replied, and apparently, that was the answer that Sebastianian was waiting for.
He took a step back and gave a slow nod before looking over to Natasha.
"You have a traitor within your pack." Natasha said and everyone's guard went up.
We knew we had a traitor, we just thought we sent that traitor to the dungeon, but it seems that we didn't.
