I had been watching Verity for a while, my gaze fixed on her as she lay sprawled across the couch in the living room.

After forcing myself to calm down in the study, I had come straight here. I needed

to see the people responsible for Selene's suffering with my own eyes.

A slight movement caught my attention-Verity's hand twitching as she slowly regained

consciousness.

The moment her eyes fluttered open, my men, who had entered the house earlier, immediately raised their guns, aiming straight at her.

Terror flashed across her face. She let out a sharp scream, scrambling to sit upright on the couch.

Her wide, tear-filled eyes locked onto mine. "Please, let me go," she sobbed.

I held her gaze, my face unreadable. It took every ounce of restraint not to lash out, but I needed answers more than I needed to vent my rage.

"Are you going to talk, or do I have to make you?" My voice was low, edged with warning.

At that moment, Gamma Curtis and his wife, Leah, stepped into the house.

The instant I saw them, my wolf stirred violently within me, a deep growl rumbling through my chest, demanding blood.

"A-Alpha, you summoned us," Curtis stammered, his voice noticeably uneasy.

His gaze flickered to Verity, his eyes widening in shock. He hadn't expected to find her here, surrounded by my men, had he?

I turned toward him and Leah, stepping forward as his nervous eyes darted around the room, taking in the tense atmosphere. His wife clung to his arm, her fingers tightening with fear.

"Why did you call us, Alpha?" he asked, trying to muster the courage to speak.

I stopped right in front of him. He swallowed hard, his glance shifting behind me- right back to Verity.

"Has my brother's daughter done something to offend you, Alpha?" he asked, feigning innocence.

That was the last straw.

Without hesitation, I swung my fist, landing a brutal punch across his face.

The force sent him stumbling sideways, the sickening crack of bone breaking under my knuckles satisfying in a way nothing else was. He wouldn't get off that easily-not after everything he had done.

"Curtis!" Leah shrieked, rushing toward him in panic. She threw herself in front of him, desperately trying to shield him from me.

I barely spared her a glance before signaling one of my men. He gave a sharp nod and moved swiftly behind her, gripping her throat from behind and pressing the cold barrel of a gun to the side of her head.

"Move, and you die first," my man warned, his voice devoid of emotion. @08:18

Leah froze, trembling uncontrollably as tears streaked down her face. She turned

to Curtis, shaking her head in silent despair.

I grabbed Curtis by the collar, yanking him upright before driving my fist into his chest. The dull crack of breaking ribs echoed in the room as he collapsed onto the floor, gasping in pain.

"W-What did I do to you?" he choked out.

I crouched beside him, grabbing a fistful of his hair and jerking his head back. My voice was a low snarl. "You tried to sell your own daughter to another man."

His eyes shot open in horror, snapping to Verity, who sat curled on the couch, sobbing, avoiding his

gaze.

"Did that little bitch tell you that? She's lying!" Leah spat, her voice laced with desperation.

At that, Verity pushed herself up from the couch, shaking her head furiously. "No, Alpha! She's the one lying. Both of them were in on it!"

Before I could respond, the front door swung open again, and Theta Gideon stepped in, dragging along the one person I despised more than anyone.

Ruby.

"Alpha, I brought her," Gideon announced.

Ruby's eyes widened in shock as she took in the scene before her-Curtis

groaning on the floor, Leah restrained with a gun to her head, and Verity standing amidst it all.

"W-What's going on?" she stammered, glancing between Leah and Curtis in confusion.

I released my grip on Curtis's hair and straightened up, preparing to demand the truth from Ruby myself. But before I could even open my mouth, Verity spoke again from behind me.

"Alpha, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, ask her. Ask if her parents were behind all of this."

Something inside me twisted violently. The words didn't make sense-none of this made sense.

"What are you trying to say?" Finn demanded, his voice sharp. "Whose parents? Ruby is an orphan."

Verity shook her head, meeting my gaze with unwavering certainty.

"No, she's not." She took a deep breath before dropping the bombshell. "She's their real daughter."
