Chapter 253: The Plan

Lennox’s POV

"What are the reasons?" I asked eagerly.

"First," he said, "the day Olivia’s body was found at the border... Damien was seen in Alpha Gabriel’s Pack."

I blinked. "What?"

Louis frowned. "That doesn’t make sense. Why would Damien be there?"

"Exactly," Dustin replied. "He had no official reason to be there. But according to the trackers and a few insiders, he came with a few of his men... it was late at night... which made me wonder why he would pay a visit to Gabriel at such a time."

My jaw clenched as unease settled in my gut. "That’s not a coincidence."

Dustin nodded. "So these are the three suspects we have in hand. What do you want us to do?" Dustin asked.

I looked at my brothers. They both looked confused but also angry. I glanced at the file again and shook my head. "Olivia can’t be two months pregnant," I said in disbelief.

Levi stepped forward, his eyes clouded with confusion. "What if that body isn’t Olivia?" He said exactly what I was thinking.

Louis spoke. "But we carried a DNA test on it, and it came back positive, and our seer told us it was Olivia," Louis sounded more confused.

I turned away and closed my eyes. Until now, everything we’d found, every piece of evidence, proved the body was Olivia. But this new result turned everything I believed upside down.

"What should I do?" I whispered to my wolf.

He responded immediately. "Follow your guts."

I nodded, then faced Dustin and my brothers, who were still waiting for my decision. I fixed my eyes on Dustin, my jaw tightening.

"Tonight," I said firmly, "we dig out the body."
