I looked up, my heart beating rapidly. Kex’s expression was unreadable, his face like stone. I need to think of something.

“Kex, I think someone drugged me,” I said, forcing my voice to shake. Kex’s eyes. narrowed, his expression fierce.

“Emily,” he said, the name like a curse on his lips. “Who the hell are you?” His voice was. a low growl, and I felt a shiver run down my spine.

I looked from Kex to Nelly and Aisha, who both had sly smiles on their faces. My heart was pounding in my chest, my breath coming in short gasps.

I swallowed hard, my throat dry and tight. I felt like I was drowning, suffocating under the weight of the question.

I stammered, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

I watched as Kex dragged a chair over and sat down, his feet tapping against the floor. His eyes blazed with fury, and I felt my palms grow sweaty.

“Who are you?” he demanded, his voice shaking with rage. “Where the hell did you come from?”

I stammered, “I already told you, I’m your late beta’s sister. We’re from the Blue Moon pack.”

Kex stood up suddenly, causing the chair to clatter to the floor. Nelly placed a hand on his chest.
