Chapter 0011

Ella POV

Over the next few days, I looked into all of the Gammas we had talked about before, and I found absolutely no indication that any of them were disloyal, which honestly left me feeling a little more nervous. Whoever the traitor was, they were hiding well.

I also periodically checked my messages from Alexander, but after his “thanks,” I hadn’t received anything It was almost getting me anxious. Have I picked the wrongly?

It was late, and I was already showered and in my pajamas. should have been lying down and trying to get some rest, but I just couldn’t quiet my mind. I pulled my phone out and impulsively sent a quick message to Alexander. “Any news?” I asked.

“We can’t meet in public,” I pointed out. “That would raise David’s suspicions.”

Alexander was his biggest rival, and as far as anyone knew had no previous acquaintances with Alexander. If we were going to talk in person, we would have to keep it secret.
