“Jai, I'm just trying to help.” Atticus says, a sliver of irritation in his voice.
“Yeah, what I'm seeing is you getting a little too cosy the moment Seb isn’t in the picture.” Jai shoots back.
“Jai!” Valerie says as Atticus stands up his eyes flashing.
“Don’t forget I'm an alpha. Know your place.” He says, clenching his fists and | know he’s trying to calm himself
and Jai’s words have angered

“Yeah?” Jai says as Valerie places her hand on his arm.
“We are a team, the four of us now... our loyalty and trust should be to one another

Sebastian. We grew up together. He would not betray us. There might be factors we

“Zaia, | think-“I raise my hand, cutting Valerie off.
“This is your final warning, Jai. If you can’t accept the reality, then... | will have no
choice but to strip you of your position. | need a Beta loyal to me, not their old
Alpha.” | say with finality.
There's a tense silence and | know my words have hurt him. He nods, and he lowers

“Understood,” Jai says, pulling away from Valerie. He turns and leaves.

“Do you have a plan or an idea of how this might work?” Atticus asks.

“I know where Dad is,” | say, my heart thundering as I look at him.
His eyes light up and he smiles faintly, nodding.
