This is beyond revolting; it’s the most stomach-churning experience I’ve ever had, and I’m grateful that it’s just audio. Listening to Bryson recount his harrowing search for answers sends my insides twisting and turning in ways I never thought possible.

“Alright, what’s our game plan here?” Anton queries, his brow furrowing in concern. But I find my gaze fixated on the file Uncle Josh handed me earlier. It’s clear to me that Bree isn’t the sole source of chaos. Without a second thought, I link with the Head Omega, instructing her to bring coffee to my office. As anticipated, she doesn’t put up a fight.

“Beau, get Bree in here. One way or another, we need her.” I command, watching as he grins at the sound of his nickname. Just the other day, he confessed to me how much he despises his full name, Beaumont. The only person who insists on calling him by that name is his mother, and it’s clear he responds out of a deep-seated fear—one that’s wholly justified. I’ve seen her in action on the training grounds, and let me tell you, she’s formidable.

“Next time I see your parents, I’m going to ask them why they chose to name you after long-forgotten places that turned to dust centuries ago,” I remark playfully as Beau rises from his chair, noticing the curious looks from everyone around. “Beaumont, Austin, Dallas, and Hondo—all names of cities and towns that once thrived in Texas. I believe we’re standing on that very soil.”

Mom is in stitches, laughing heartily alongside Grandma. History has always fascinated me, particularly the way I can connect territories to states and cities. Yet, I find myself puzzled about our exact location within the territory once known as Texas. I resolve that once I have a spare moment, I’ll dive into the research.

After a short wait of about ten minutes, there’s a knock on the door, and the Head Omega enters, balancing the coffee I requested. She’s still busy arranging everything on the coffee table when Beau strides in, shoving Bree ahead of him. “Look what I stumbled upon while leaving the Pack-house,” he announces with a smirk.

“I demand answers, and I will extract them. The method I choose to use depends entirely on the two of you.” I assert, my gaze shifting from Bree to her mother. “Why didn’t you and the other Omegas show up when you were summoned?” I pose the question, yet my eyes remain locked on Bree, curious to see if she’ll communicate with her mother.

“Bree informed us that, as the future Luna, she was excusing us from attendance. She emphasized that the new Alpha was notoriously difficult to please, advising us to avoid bothering him,” comes the response, and in a flash, Beau has Bree on her knees before me.

“Does Bree habitually deceive her mother?” I ask, observing the shocked expressions on the faces around me. I suspect that no one in Blood Stone Pack had any inkling that Bree is merely an Omega. Bree lets out a low growl as her mother opens her mouth, only to quickly shut it again. I want an answer to my question.

“I ASKED A QUESTION!” I bellow, my voice merging with Topaz’s, sending a ripple of tension through the room. Everyone flinches, except for my Mates, who stand resolute.

“For years, Bree has claimed that Brock would accept her as his Luna, but she recently told me that the Pack would be getting a new Alpha and that she would still ascend to the position of Luna for Blood Stone Pack,” her mother finally responds, but the answer falls short of my expectations. “She is my daughter, and I trust her to speak the truth.”

I understand the instinct of a parent to believe in their child’s honesty, yet surely she must have heard the whispers of truth at some point. After all, none of them have ever concealed their disdain for power-hungry females, and every Pack member would have shared stories about Bree’s antics.
