“So, what does this actually mean?” Theo asked after we shared what we found. “While I can admit that this is interesting, right now, it doesn’t seem much more than a fun fact. Not anything to warrant concern.”

“We have a few theories,” I said, holding his hand. “Most of them do come back to the Waar P ak’s idea that we would take over the packs.”

Theo snorted. “Even if this did give us the power to even think about it, that’s not what either of us wants.”

“That may be true,” Professor Armand said. “But when you have people like this who have spent decades believing it would happen, you’ll have a hard time convincing them otherwise. Besides, it’s not just you two they’d be worried about, but your children as well.”

My hand instinctively went to my belly, praying for an extra layer of protection that still didn’t seem like enough. Theo’s hand tightened around mine. As much as he was trying to silently reassure me, we both felt that fear and anger through our mate bond.

“Then it’s a good thing we’re taking them out once and for all,” he said, working to sound calmer than he was.

“Most of the younger Alphas can be approached,” Randy said. “I’ll get you a list and we can discuss it with Alpha Harden and Alpha Kingston.”

Theo nodded.

I stood up and started re-organizing the documents sprawled across the coffee table. We knew it would take a few days for us to go through it all with a fine tooth comb. We didn’t want to miss a single bit of information. But that would be easier with fresh eyes and a clean workspace. I was putting some of the books back in the trunk when
