Alpha on the Hunt Chapter 71

Axton POV

Elena hid in my office the moment we got home and has been in there for three hours now with the door closed. I can hear her on the phone organizing housing for her pack members.

Looking for an excuse to go in there, I make her a coffee. Popping my head into the living room, Luke is watching TV with the boys. He glances at me before turning his attention back to the TV.

“I wouldn’t. She’ll bite your head off,” he warns, knowing his sister too well. Walking into MY office, she is on the phone, staring out the window as she talks to someone on the phone. Elena glances at me, and I hold up the mug, and she points to my desk as if I don’t know where it is.

Setting it down, I sit in my chair across from her. She’s so focused on the conversation that she doesn’t even blink when I focus all my attention on her.

“Just find them. There has to be a record somewhere,” Elena says into the phone before hanging up. She turns to me, and I can see the exhaustion written all over her face.

“If you’re here to lecture me more about working–”

I hold my hand up, stopping her. “Just checking on you,” I admit, and she sighs, reaching for a box of paperwork I recognize to belong to her father. She and Luke went home the other day to rummage through her old house and came home with mountain loads of paperwork. Luke returned with a few of his old

belongings, too.

“How is the housing situation going?” I ask her, watching as she

digs through the box.

“Sorted now,” she tells me, opening up a folder and flicking through the sleeves.

“So, who were you on the phone to then?” I question, and I can feel her annoyance at me distracting her.

“The supernatural council. I am looking for records on Osiris,” she tells me, and my brows furrow in confusion.

“Why?” I ask, a little shocked. Elena sets the folder down, shrugging off her blazer and tossing it on the brown leather couch.

“Because after the other night, I’ve been doing some digging about my father’s debt. So we know he was stealing money from the council, and he got into some gambling debts. Stiles found out and confronted him. Then he ends up dead, but where has Osiris been this entire time?” she asks me, and I shrug.

“Well, after going through my father’s files, I found something interesting. Once a month, money was coming into a separate bank account that my father held. I linked that bank account to Osiris. I checked Thomas’ old accounting files, which I could rummage up, and after my father sold the laundromat to Thomas, I noticed Thomas started receiving money monthly into the laundromat account, which was how I caught Thomas in the first place was through these deposits he couldn’t explain, but before that, it was going into a secret account my father had, as soon as my father sold the laundromats to Thomas he started receiving the same monthly figures. My father and Thomas were working with Osiris.”
