“It was a spare of the moment idea.” Taking a long sip, I pulled the paper out of my pocket
and handed it to him.
“What’s this?”
“I found it up against the wall in my office. Like someone put it under the door and when
the door got opened, it was pushed against the wall. I have no idea how long that has
been there but Penny told me that Cassie was talking to a girl with pink hair and a face full
of makeup. After reading that, it sounds like someone was in a disguise.”
“There is a threat against Penny. Protect her at all cost. They are coming.” Alec read. “This
is pretty vague and poor handwriting.”
“I have a theory.”
“What’s that?”
“I haven’t told you yet that I got a call when you were in the house with Ice. Zac lied to
me. The man we found dead was killed by Zac. Zac wrote the message in that man’s
chest. The dead guy was part of Vin’s pack. He told me Gunther burned down Zac’s safe
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthouse. Apparently, he followed Zac for awhile. So far that he watched as Zac
made his way back to my pack, saw a girl jump the fence and follow the girl to Gunther’s
house.”
“No s hit?”
“Yeah, I guess Gunther has a mate from my pack. Zac didn’t tell me any of this.”
“Do you think Zac is playing both sides?” Alec asked as he swallowed. half his beer.

“Not sure. I know he lied to me but I don’t see him handing Penny over. I think Zac has his
own agenda and it includes sacrificing me to save Penny.”
“Who’s the girl?”
“He didn’t know and wasn’t able to get a picture. However, if Gunther is using his mate to
get information from my pack, they would probably use a disguise to do it.”
“Surely she wasn’t the one that left the note.” Alec handed it back to
me.
“Unless she doesn’t want to turn her back on me but feels obligated to please her mate,
or he is abusing her.”
“If that was the case, why not just come to you and tell you all this?” Alec asked.
“I actually had a different idea.”
“What’s that?”
“Plant information for her to take to Gunther. Let him think he is getting information and
use it to our advantage to draw them out.”
“Did your guy not know where Gunther and Vin live that we can just go kill them?” Alec
asked.
“He said they have houses but don’t stay there often. Though, he has only bee around
them for a little bit.”
I wish it was as simple as that. “If we play the long game, we can. possibly take out their
buyers too.”
“That is risky. Especially since that note mentions Penny.”.
“I know.”
“That would be a fun plan though. Allow something to break into your

sensitive information first.”
“I would need to install discreet cameras to see if we can figure out who the girl is.” Not
sure if I was as excited as Alec made it sound like.
“Are you going to tell Penny about this?”
“I’ll have to. I told her I would tell her everything when it came to her and she needs to
vacate that office now.
“You need to start with limiting her availability now. We can’t ignore this direct threat,
even if it came from a note. On top of what Tanya said…. Vin and Gunther very well might
have a bigger plan in play then we are aware of.”
“Hopefully, my guy can figure it out. We can’t rely on Zac.”
“What are you going to do about Zac?”
“Right now, nothing. I am going to wait and see how much rope it takes to hang himself
with. Since he carved that into that man’s chest, he believe I was the only alpha. That if
Vin challenged me, I would either kill Vin and issue would be over or Vin would kill me. Not
sure what his plan would be if that happened. Take Penny and run?”
