Mated in the shadow of my sister by lady gwen
Chapter 213

Chapter 0213

Now those wolves want Lily dead, but of course killing her has now gotten tremendously harder. In the hopes of getting leverage, they kidnapped Sammy this morning while he was playing in his room and they

left that note.

However, we intercepted the kidnappers before they left the pack with Sammy. Evelyn still believes that Sammy has been kidnapped, and the kidnappers’ bosses still believe that Sammy has been kidnapped, but he is fine. We have the kidnappers safely kept in the dungeons in Red River, unable to mind-link. We will keep them there until you return and the werewolf council is functional again.”

I ran my hands through my hair as I tried to process what my father had just told me. What the f&&k.

Evelyn was behind all of this? Or at least some of it? How? Why?

“How did…. how did you figure it out?”

“It was all right there in front of you, Son, but you were too blinded to see it. Evelyn knew that the wolves

who attacked the pack were after Lily. She either knew that because someone told her that, or because —

“-she was the one that let them in.”

“Correct. The attackers believed that Lily was still at Black Moon when they came. That fact alone ruled

out a lot of suspects; most of the wolves who knew that Lily had been the target had also known that she

was gone.

You were u

to blame James, but James is so disillusioned with his family right now that I knew he

would not be the one leaking information, even after the fact.

Meanwhile, Evelyn practically became a fixture around the packhouse after the failed attack, almost as

though she was seeking out information.”

“But when… when I asked Evelyn if Andrew told her, she looked at me with guilt in her eyes…”

“Because she felt guilty about her own actions, and she was afraid that Andrew would find out what she

had done.”

I am an idiot. An absolute idiot.

“Have you arrested Evelyn yet?”

“No. We have her under careful watch, but I want to make sure we have everyone that she has been working with before we arrest her. I am unwilling to alpha-order a pregnant she-wolf, but I am not above

I sighed.

I did not expect to wake up this way this morning.

Was this the way that James felt when he found out what his family and Lily’s had really been up to?

Feeling like an idiot who had blindly believed in wolves who did not deserve his faith in them?

Just then, I saw Charlotte begin to stir in the bed.

“Okay, Dad. I will be home soon. I’ll see you in a few hours.”

“Bye, Son,”

“Dad?”

“Yes?”

“Thank you.

I heard my father murmur something and then hang up.”

I waited in the bathroom for another couple of minutes, trying to decide what I was going to say to

Charlotte before I left. The worst part of one-night stands has always been the awkward morning-after

conversations. It was always easier when one of you got to sneak out the next morning before the other

awoke. With Charlotte stirring, that probably would not be possible.

“You are taking Charlotte with us,” Kalen linked me.

I practically fell over in shock.

“What?”

“I want her. You are taking her with us.”

“Kalen, I cannot take a she-wolf home that I just met last night.”

“You cannot take her home. but you do not mind f&&ing her?”

“That was different.”

“I don’t care, Brady. I want her. You need to make her come with us.”

“Kalen, what is with you?”

Seriously. I did not understand why Kalen was freaking out like this.

“I want Charlotte.”

Suddenly, it hit me. “Is she… is she our second chance mate?”

Kalen was silent for a minute.

“I do not know. I cannot reach her wolf. But I know that I want her. You are not leaving her behind. I do not

care what you have to do to convince her, but I want her.”

AAAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHH.

This was going to be an interesting morning-after conversation.
