Chapter 57

Chapter 57. The Trap

Riannon stared at her phone, feeling that she was getting sick. What was she to do? Dean

was like a little brother to her and even in spite of him failing her numerous times, she did not

want him dead.

Knowing that Dean’s wolf was chocolate brown in colour, she sometimes wondered if it was possible that he was the wolf that Roxy manipulated to kill her in her past life. She did not like to think about it, but from time to time her mind still went there.

And considering all this, she couldn’t help but wonder if this now was a trap. Well, it was definitely a trap. But what if Dean was in it and didn’t need any saving in the

first place?

However, she put this idea aside fast. Everything was different now. Even if it was Dean

in the past, it was only because he used to be broken by his sister’s death and blaming her for it thanks to Roxy. This time, none of this happened and he had no reason to do something like that. He didn’t hate her enough to kill her. And that meant that right now he was probably a

victim.

That brought her to that next part. If she went there alone, she wouldn’t be able to help

him much. Not without her wolf. She knew Roxy too well to think that she would let a witness like Dean go. Her aim was probably to kill them both today. After all, they were the only two people who knew that she was full of crap.

She tried calling out to Onyx but her wolf remained silent, angering her for the first time. It would all be so much easier if she was at her full strength now.

Then again, it was one of the reasons why Roxy got so bold with her. She knew for a fact that Riannon was wolfless and wanted to use that while it lasted.

That meant that she needed a different plan. She still didn’t know the extent to which Roxanne was informed about events in her pack. Some of the people who pleaded their loyalty to her today could have been spies for all she knew. There were a few surprises there. The people who were supposed to stay with Brayden according to her calculations, chose her for some reason. So, whatever she had to do now, she had to do it quietly.
