Chapter Nine

"There are my two favourite girls." My dad walked into my room as we just got back.

"Hi Daddy." I walk over and hugged him and bowed her head.

"Hi Alpha Devlin."

"None of that Cassie, when it's just us, I've told you just to call me Dev." Cas blushed and nodded. "Can I speak with my daughter alone for a minute?"

"Of course, Alpha." Cas looked at me with a tiny bit of panic in her eyes as she turned away. I tried to reassure her, but I couldn't do much. She knew exactly what this conversation was about. I followed my father to his office and sat down with Ronnie and him. "Talk."

"What is going on in this pack, Dad?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why are unranked she-wolves lording their power over the weaker wolves?" I looked over at Ronnie and he looked away. "You obviously know what I am talking about. The beta and gamma female here are doing what, exactly?"

"Hey!" Ronnie looked at me. "That isn't fair."

“I'm not saying it's fair.” I looked back at my father. "You are letting your pack crumble from within and I want to know why." I stared my father in the eye until Loki was growling back at me but Nix growled right back.

before I voiced them. "This is for the women to fix. I want the beta and gamma to meet with me before the party tonight." My dad jolted back in surprise and I laughed. "You asked my best friend to keep a surprise from me, dad. First off, stupid move. You know she can't keep a secret. Second, even if she hadn't blurted out the truth, I would have figured out something from Aurora." I cut my eyes to my father, and I watched his cloud over. "Ugh, now you've done it."
