My mind raced back to our pack meetings, to the times Garrit had briefed us on the competition

He’d been through, professional, preventing detailed information about each majne contender including Alpha Margm. Hed mentioned her as the only female Alpha in the summing, how the d built her power hase by championing women’s rights across the continent. Hed womed us not to underestimate her because of her gender–that getting this far required exceptional strength,

But never, not once, had he mentioned any personal connection.

Has Garrett ever mentioned Alpha Morgan to you?” I asked Adrian quietly, keeping my voice low enough that only he could hear. Beyond the competit

Adrian shook his head slowly. “No. But then again, I don’t make a habit of prying imo people’s private lives.”

I could see the wheels turning in his mind, the same suspicions forming that were crystallizing in mine. Our information specialist, our trusted

I proven imvaluable in preparing for these trish–could be really be connected to one of Adrian’s strongest rivals?

Adrian straightened, addressing Daniel directly. This Garrett that Alpha Morgan kreps mentioning–do you know who he is

Daniel’s hands still gripped Morgan’s fingers, his knuckles white with tension. I watched him wrestle with something internal, loyalty warring with desperation on his weathered face. His eyes darted between us and his Alpha, clearly weighing whether to share what might be deeply personal information.

Lydia spoke up from where she’d retreated after Daniels rough handling. Alpha Morgan seem trapped in memories of this Garrett, Whatever happened between them, it’s what’s keeping her locked in these delusions.”

“The longer she remains in this state,” Lydia continued gently, the harder it will be to bring her back. Her mind is

That seemed to break through Daniel’s last walls of resistance. He looked down at Morgan’s face, stal twisted in anguish,

The shock hit me like a physical blow. Adrian’s body tensed beside me, and even Xavier’s usual easy confidence flickered. I heard my own sharp intake of breath

The Garrett who won first place in the speed races? That Garrett?”

Daniel’s head snapped up, genuine surprise replacing some of the grief on his face. “You know about that? His voice held a note of wonder. I didnt think anyone still remembered. It’s been years since… sice he had that victory.

“I was there,” Xavier interjected, stepping forward slightly. “That speed competition–I watched the whole thing. The kid was incredible. Never seen anyone

like that”

Adrian and I exchanged glances with Lydia. The pieces were falling into place with unconfortable clarity. Our Garrett, with his brilliant mind and damaged leg, who’d become imahuable to Dasisburn Pack a intelligence network, Morgan’s son, who’d once been a champion nunner.

Daniel’s attention sharpened on us like a hladle. “Why? You know something about him? Hope and fer bettled in his voter. “It’s been theen years since he left home. Just disappeard one day, and Morgan… ale s never forgiven herself. She snuches for himi penatantly, even bized private investigators, but he vanished like smoke.”

“Garrett works for us now. Hey Dasisbom Pack’s information manager,” Adrian

found, there’s no finding him.

Daniel’s eyes blated with sudden life, hope transforming his exhausted features. But caution quickly crept hack

Adrian shook his head slowly, and I watched Daniel’s hope crumble. “The damage was to severe Some things can’t he healed, not even with our regenerative abilities.”

Daniel’s face crumpled with fresh grief. He turned back to Morgon, stroking her hair with infinite gentleness.

“That’s our fault. All of it. We failed him that Morgan kes him. God, she loves that boy more than life itself. She had her reasons for… for what happened. Things can’t explain, things that would sound like excuses even if I tried.”
