Maleah’s p.o.v.
I wasn’t sure what I was expecting after he took a look at the file, but I hadn’t expected the calm way he responded to my words. Fortune told me that if his story about Alpha Bradley was any good we should tell him the truth, otherwise we would come up with a good reason as to why we had that file.
I mean, I could make it out as if I wanted more information about the male my Mother took as a Mate, especially with their persistence on me moving to his Pack.
Mother must have been waiting for me as she opened the door before I could knock, and I could see that Alpha Bradley was looking at Alpha Dax over my shoulder. He really didn’t like the fact I had brought my Alpha along for this lunch. I could sense there was another Wolf in one of the bedrooms of the suite, and I had an inkling feeling that his Son was hiding in there. This didn’t predict much good.
There are two more Wolves on the balcony. I think it is safe to say they are up to no good, and I bet they are hoping it was your Father’s aura that seeped out,” Fortune said as I kept my eyes on my Mother. I didn’t want Alpha Bradley to know I could feel the struggle he had with his Wolf, and I smiled when I felt Alpha Dax leaning closer to me.
I wanted to stick out my tongue at Alpha Bradley when Alpha Dax told him he didn’t trust him, but I could refrain myself from giving in to that urge. When Mother tried to grab my arm, Fortune released a low, menacing roar.
I hoped Mother would stop bugging me after today, but I wouldn’t be holding my breath for it. Mother had never been one to take a hint, and I doubted she would start today. She just saw and heard what she wanted.
As we were making our way back from Alpha Bradley’s suite, I was trying to think of the best way to explain the file on Alpha Bradley without telling the truth if need be. But after hearing the story of Luna Elyse, I knew I would finally tell someone the truth. With that decision, I knew I would have to tell our former and current leadership the truth as well. I thought I might have more trouble telling Dad about my life–a life I think he never wanted for me.
I tried to find the best way to explain to Alpha Dax why I had a file on Alpha Bradley: I was glad he gave me the time to think as we ate our lunch, and I decided to let Alpha Dax ask me about the file. I cleared the dishes from the table and put the tray on the table outside my room. As I walked back to the table, I picked up the file on Alpha Bradley and his Son.
“Maleah, can you explain why you have that file in your possession?” Alpha Dax asked as I sat down in my
seat.
“I will explain why I have this file, but it will leave you with even more questions. I am willing to answer those questions, but I have a feeling you will want a few other people present when you ask me those questions,” I told him as I opened the file in front of me. I looked up at him to see a curious look in his eyes.
“I am not sure if you are aware of this, but Alpha Bradley and his Son have been charged with multiple crimes over the years, and for some reason none of the charges ever stuck. I truly believe that at least one Council Elder is covering up for them; I just don’t know how,” I explained.
“Three of their victims have had enough and are no longer willing to leave it in the hands of the Council of Elders. They have decided to make sure they never can hurt anyone else again. I have known for a long time that Alpha Bradley and his Son are bad news, but I never saw a picture of him. When Mack mentioned his name, Fortune wanted to rip him to shreds.”

“If someone keeps escaping justice and rumors start to spread that his or her victims are willing to pay for their demise, a middle man contacts them. The rules are simple: you pay, and I will take care of them when it suits me. I always pick a public place to make sure their death leaks out, and I usually leave a clear message behind on why their lives were ended,” I told him, and I could tell a million questions were running through his mind.
You are right, Maleah. This leaves me with more questions, and I want answers to them. But you were also right when you said I would want others present. I am not sure what to say right now. I had thought of a few explanations you could have given me, but this wasn’t one of them. I think you could have even chosen to lie to me, and yet you chose to tell me the truth,” Alpha Dax said.
“I thought about lying to you. I thought about telling you I wanted to know more about the male my Mother took as a Mate, and I believe I could have sold it to you as the truth. But after what you told me about your Mother and what Alpha Bradley did to her, I knew you deserved to know the truth. I needed to tell you the truth.”
“I know you tried to look for my protection detail, but Dad and Colter trained them, and I doubt you would be able to find them unless they want you to find them. Pauline is the only one that stays with me out in the open, and you already know why no one will ever suspect her to be a part of my protection detail. She helps me to find the best way to strike.”
“She keeps tabs on every individual that is a target. She informs me when they are away from their safe haven and makes sure my schedule fits my assignments. It will take me another day or two before I can wrap things up here, and then I will be able to go home for a few days. Will that give you enough time to make sure everyone is in the territory to hear my story?” I asked.
Alpha Dax took a look at his phone for a few moments. “Yeah, everyone will be in the territory by then. I will put a meeting in our schedule–a meeting concerning Alpha Bradley and your lunch appointment with him and your Mother.”
“I can guarantee you that everyone will be present. They will want to hear about what happened, and I promise you that I won’t say a word about it before then,” Alpha Dax responded, and I asked him if his Brothers might torture him to get answers before that day.
“I will tell them that you will be present and will answer any question they have. Mom will make sure they won’t try to get answers from me, and I will threaten to tell Mom if they try anyway,” he said with a wink.
