RAMON’S POV

The door opened after I had taken a seat, and they walked into the room ton
“I don’t have time for any other thing that doesn’t involve the security breach, so start talking.”

was good to see that they had common sense. I was still royally pissed at everyone. Especially Blane.
If he wasn’t one of the few people that actually knew most of my plans, and understood the way I did things. I would be in search of a replacement. as soon as possible.
“No you won’t You can’t hurt him, because of Sonia,” a voice in my head said
1 didn’t understand what it meant by that, and I didn’t even plan on investigating
My eyes went to Daniel who had started to speak. I didn’t catch his first few sentences, but I was paying full attention now.
“I couldn’t sleep, so naturally. I returned to the barn. What was left of it, anyway. I traced it back to where the fire actually started, and where our boys battled strange warriors, before they all fed away. I discovered this. He pushed his hand into his pocket, and brought out a red piece of clothing
He handed it to me. As I brought it to my line of vision, twisting and Turning it around so I could get a proper look, I wondered what I was supposed to be seeing.
“It’s not that it’s a cloth, it’s the kind of material it is,” he said when he saw the confusion in my face.
“What does that mean?” I questioned, still not catching his drift.
“The material is from MoonRay pack. They use that specific material because they produce it themselves. The piece itself is something a warrior wolf’s mate gives him as a sign of their bond, especially when he’s going away for battle, Blane stepped in to explain.
I had not asked for his explanation, and wasn’t planning to tell him either, that because of him, I remembered that culture.
It was true. Jack’s pack did have that culture amongst their mates. It used to be the norm in most packs, but as the world turned, many people now consider such practices outdated
I brought the piece to my nose, and sniffed. Yeah, that was a woman’s scent
“What’s a piece of clothing from MoonRay doing in my pack?”
“That
question kept me up all night too, alpha,” Daniel continued. “It wasn’t until I woke up. I figured it out. MoonRay was the pack that actually attacked ours. They made it seem like it was silverpaw, banking on a thoughtless retaliatory attack.
“Why would they do that? I know I put Jack in his place at the festival of alphas, when he stepped out of line, but at the meeting, we squashed everything out. He knows better than to attack my pack.”
“Don he?” Blane asked.
“If I respond to you, would you take my response as law, or would you go behind my back and do whatever you choose?” My gaze trailed towards
him.
He bowed in reverie before our eyes could meet, and he could see the fury in mine.
“I know you’re mad at me, and you have every right to be. However, I’ve never failed you before, and I need you to listen to me now. Other packs have seen just how deep your haired for Ferins runs. Although justified, it could also be destructive. They’ve seen you’d do anything for revenge. and are now using that to set you up. If you had attacked silverpaw in retaliation, what do you think would have happened now! We may be

winning at the borders simply because they’ve withdrawn their best of men, but if you had brought the fight to their pack,
“Are you trying to say the wolves of Silverpaw are stronger than mine?” I gave him a cool calculated stare.
If my initial feelings were right, and Lorena’s accusations were true, I could see why he would take Silverpaws side.
k, you would have lost.”
It would be the side of the man he would love to consider an in–law. Paraventure it was true, I would have to be dead for that to happen.
It would then beg the question; is my beta planning to steal my girl, and also kill me in the process?
Only very few people knew Ivy was my sister. If I die as things stand, he has a greater chance of becoming the next alpha.
so
There were so many motives, and it was beginning to raise my suspicion to an unnatural level.
“This isn’t what your beta should be saying, but you chose me because you knew I’d always tell the truth. They’re stronger, and greater in number. Until we’ve trained our new recruits, we don’t want a full blown war with silverpaw. The only reason Ferins hasn’t attacked is because he thinks have more of the wolves at the borders, in the pack. If he knows that’s the last of the real fighting to the death warriors we have, he’ll attack.”
I hated how much sense there was to everything he was saying. He was right in many more ways than one, and I hated it.
“What do you suggest be done?” I turned to Daniel.
“I say you give me a couple of men, and we pay a visit to MoonRay.”
“That’s it?”
“If you like me to suggest, I’ll say you call Lorena. Ask why she was so eager for you to believe silverpaw was behind the attack,” Blane said.
I turned sharply to Blane. “You’re sure you
just don’t have something against her?”
He kept silent, because he realised he didn’t want to test me further.
“Take the men. Daniel. Remember, this is a warning attack. At the end of it, I require a confession”
I rose to my feet, and it was clear to them they had been dismissed
