Chapter 126

0126 I have sent two of my best trackers out to look for Lily. I cannot send more out without potentially alerting the enemy to Lily being missing. If they are unable to find something within the next two weeks, I will have to pull the 18 former officers in and do the alpha-command interviews. I would consider doing it now, but the process is time-consuming, and Sammy is arriving to Black Moon in less than an hour. He has a two-week winter break from school, and he is going to be spending the entire break here with me. As always, I am going to spend every single second that I can with him. I wish Lily was here to meet him. Perhaps we will find her before he leaves. Until then, I pray that the Moon Goddess continues to keep her safe. (James POV) After my father asked everyone to leave so that he could care for my mother, I grabbed the three duffle bags and went to my room. I took the duffle bags for a very simple reason: I wanted to make sure that Margie did not have Stephanie’s pictures and mementos hung back up while my back was turned. Even though my father is right that he is the alpha and I technically have no authority over how the alpha suite is decorated, I am not ready to stop fighting about this issue. My father ordered me to come to his office in 30 minutes, so I grabbed my phone and set the timer for 45 minutes. I then laid back on my bed, thinking about what had just happened. Sheila claims to be pregnant, and she has come up with goddess-knows-what story to force me to marry and mark her quickly, before any of her claims can be verified. Between what Lily told me and what I learned during the interviews with the five wolves Dr. Hyder sent me to, I knew that Sheila was not to be trusted. But, wow I had no idea just how evil and underhanded she could be. In hindsight, I should have suggested that my father alpha-order her to tell the truth, but once Margie began talking nonsense about Sheila’s pregnancy being high-risk, I knew that my father would never do it. Strangely, Sheila’s fake pregnancy and story was not even the most surprising part of the incident that just happened. The most surprising part had to do with what Joey did. Joey has acted very strangely since he was assigned to accompany me to Hawail. He lied to Sheila about receiving orders from my mother to sit by me on the airplane; he took efforts to distract Sheila so that I could “relax”; he asked me if I was bringing Lily back with me from Hawaii; and he and Jessica exchanged happy looks when I asked them for help removing Stephanie’s pictures and mementos from On top of all of that, Dr. Hyder somehow knew what I told Sheila when I left Hawaii. Dr. Hyder told me he did not talk to my parents, and I do not believe for a second that he talked to Sheila… was it possible that he talked to Joey, who of course was the wolf I used to relay the message to Sheila? Dr. Hyder did say that he had sources in all places. I had already been letting all of those things mull around in my head when Joey surprised me -okay, everyone-by announcing that I had gotten his cousin Mary Beth pregnant. Now I was 100% sure that Joey knew something, and he has moved to the top of my list of wolves I need to talk to, right after I deal with my father. ot even Sighing, I rolled over. When I did so, I noticed the package I had carefully laid down on my bed not an hour ago. I felt my heart start to beat quickly as I sat up and reached for it.
