Chapter 23 Passing time

Chapter 23 Passing time

There was no other word to describe how we felt other then betrayed. Daddy and I had sent the guys away for a minute, I wanted pickles and crackers so they went to get that while Marcus went to talk to Annabelle.

“Who do you think they are?” I asked softly. We both knew there was no way that no one knew what was going on, someone had to be a part of this.

Daddy sighed, rubbing a hand over his tired face. I felt so bad for him, so much stress for such a wonderful man. “I don’t know squirt, but I kind of have a feeling on who they might be” His voice was soft and drained as he ran trough his thoughts.

“Who?”

“I only have three in mind who would stand to gain anything, and I'm really hoping I'm wrong”

“What would or could they possibly gain out of this?”

“Well the higher pack members will gain superiority and strength with tittle.... and the last two could gain money.... a lot of money” If he thinks by rank and money it could only be...

“Not Brian?” I asked with a sigh. I liked him. Brian is the beta, one of out most trusted family friends, and then that leaves the Omegas, Brent and Mike, the twins. Since Daddy has forced me to learn about the pack, know that I know about it being there, he's shown and told me about everyone over the last two weeks. Knowing since Cay is in line for Alpha should he take it, means that I would need to know all about it. Anyway lots of stuff has been shoved in my face, and of the people I already knew, I'm sad to say that those are some of the only people I can think of who would, or could, go this far.

“Afraid so” he mumbled.

“And you also think Mike and Brent, I'm assuming?” Another sigh and a nod. “Well if that’s the case how does Miguels mate fit in?” I mostly asked myself but honestly I just needed to get that out there.

“Well.... maybe she is related to someone in the pack?” he asked as well. I sighed and rubbed my face. That could be a possibility, a sucky one but it would give us an out on who and how she stayed in the dark all this time. It would tell us who is helping if at all. I mean we don’t need a how we just need the why? Why would she need to spy on me, I mean after searching her memories I saw a lot of things, stuff I didn’t even remember, she was there for my sixth birthday. And seventh... and eight... wait a minute.

“No” I snapped.

“What?” Daddy asked whipping his head around to look at me.

“It's Brian, that’s her brother or something, she's been to all my birthday parties always different but always there and at the back corner where you have your guards, where you have Brian watching...” I really didn’t need to say much else, it was quite clear now, honestly it made it worse when it all pieces together on the how... and it sucks when you see it.

“I figured as much, alright so what did you get from her?”

“Well I found that she is a shape-shifter, a special gift, she can't change animals but human form, no problem. She's also now fully mated to Miguel and by the looks of it, he now shares her power. How that happened? I don’t have any idea but I saw some memories after their mating in her head about him changing...” I sighed as I looked up at my Daddy, he wasn’t going to like this “Daddy he can change into anyone and the first one he picked was Marcus.”

Daddy swore under his breath, this now caused so many problems. If he makes anything televised no one will know that he's a fake, he could do anything.
