is a reason for this all; the fates are trying to align us somehow. Trying to show us that soon, we are going to need that power to help fight the evil that has somehow found its way into our lives,” Jewel said and smiled at Kane.
Chapter Seven
When they finally reached the station, all of them had successfully ignored the elephant in the car. Jewel and Vander walked up to the secretary to get their messages. Kane watched from the corner as Vander slapped the piece of paper on his hand and rushed to his computer. Kane was hot on his tail as Vander sat down in his chair, hoping that finally they were going to get good news on where Waverly was.
“ What is it?” Vander never looked at Kane but kept typing on his computer. Kane sat back and waited for Vander to finish whatever he was doing. Whatever it was, Vander was certainly looking intent on the screen.
“ We have been looking at this all wrong. The question is why would they take Waverly? She doesn’t fit the same MO like the rest. Josh said he was the Redeemer and that people who cheated on their mates, he would take care of them. Well Waverly isn’t mated and she hasn’t been seeing anyone because she is so busy with the Omega stuff. So why did they take her?” Vander said aloud to no one in particular. Thankfully Kane didn’t have to respond, because Jewel walked in and heard what her partner had said. She sat, leaned back in her chair and squinted her eyes at him studying what Vander just asked.
“ I don’t know,” Jewel answered.
“ They needed her out of the way. I guess,” Kane replied, trying to figure out what his mate was getting at.
“ Bingo!” Vander said.
“ Look, Vander, I don’t know if that is it. It was the first thing that popped in my mind,” Kane replied and then shook his head when Vander smiled like he knew a secret.
“ But you are correct, Kane. All the others we know why they took them. Even with Madeline, Ret’s secretary, she was killed for the same reason, but Waverly is different. She is an Omega and somebody wanted her away from the pack. She was in the way or in danger of discovering something, or becoming something they didn’t want. Why do you think they already knew what we didn’t? Mates? How did they know we were mates? What? Why are you looking at me like that?” Vander asked as he narrowed his eyes at Jewel and Kane.
“ Because you are a genius.” Jewel walked over and kissed her best friend. “That’s it, Vander.” Jewel sat back down hard in her chair, realizing what this meant. Vander and Kane could feel the distress in her voice. “You realize what this means don’t you?”
“ Yeah, there is a traitor in the Atlanta Pack and somehow Josh Campbell got to them. The traitor also has more information than we do, there is someone else involved with powers, and we have no clue what we are up against,” Vander replied.
Jewel pulled out her phone and dialed.
“ Benny, we have a problem. I need your help on this.” Jewel closed her phone, rocking in her chair, looking down at her desk after she hung up. Her mates were going to have to be brought in, there was something weird going on, and they were going to have to help them out. Benny would be here soon.
“ I thought you were going to call the Beta?” Kane asked. “Do I need to make a few calls as well?” Kane already knew his Alphas were going to be pissed about this new development. They didn’t like to think there was something in their territory that they didn’t know about. Even though there were individual packs throughout the states, they were split into territories, usually with the largest pack in the area overseeing the others in the same territory. It was a huge responsibility but Ret and Lex had a strong foundation and handled the added responsibility with ease. Well, till now.
“ If there is a traitor in the pack, I don’t want to spook
