Alexander

Gabriel stormed into my office the next morning without so much as a knock. The moment the door was shut behind him, he whirled on me, his face twisted with fury.

“Are you out of your fucking mind?” he snarled.

I slowly looked up from the budget reports I’d been reviewing. “Good morning to you too, Gabriel. What’s got your panties in a twist today?”

“You told her everything.” Gabriel’s face was crimson with rage. “You told Ella about the investigation. About her father. About all of it.”

“Yes, I did.”

“Do you have any idea what you’ve done? Years of work, Alexander. Years of careful planning and surveillance, and you just handed it all over to the enemy.”

I carefully set down my pen and leaned back in my chair. “She’s not the enemy.”

“How can you possibly know that?”

“Because she’s my mate. My wife. The mother of my child.” I stood up and gripped the edge of the desk so hard my knuckles turned white. “And because I chose to trust her.”

“Trust her? Based on what? Sex?”

My wolf bristled at his indignation, but I fought to maintain control. For now, at least. “Based on the fact that she offered to help me take down her own father the moment she found out.”

“Which could be part of the plan! Don’t you see that?” Gabriel stormed up to me and jabbed his finger into the center of my chest, making my wolf growl. “This could all be an elaborate setup. She gets caught with the evidence, plays the innocent victim, gains your sympathy, and now she’s perfectly positioned to feed


information back to Stormhollow.”

Gabriel wasn’t entirely wrong, but I recalled last night all too well. Ella’s face when she’d found the evidence, followed by the look of pain in her eyes when I explained everything… Unless she was a

phenomenal actress, I couldn’t imagine that she was lying.

“You didn’t see her, Gabriel. You didn’t hear what she said.”

“I don’t need to. I know how these people operate.” Gabriel pinched the bridge of his nose and shut his eyes in exasperation. “Alexander, you’re letting your feelings cloud your judgment. Again.”

“My judgment is just fine.”
