“You mean you trust me?” He asked, and I shook my head.
“I trust Zora. I know she loves me utterly and truly.” I said and looked at him.
“Zora loves deeply and genuinely and keeps her promises,” I said, and he frowned at me.
“A lot of people don’t know this, but before I rejected my fated for her, she had done that for me,” I said, and he was shocked.
“She went to see Alpha Jake Brighton and ran into Hardy Corrigan, who happened to be her fated. She rejected him and came home to me,” I said; he was stunned, but he wasn’t surprised, which meant he knew.
“I see you aren’t surprised,” I said, making an observation, and he sighed.
“I told Hardy to let her be; that you were possessive of Zora, but he wouldn’t listen. He wanted me to write to her and tell her they were fated. I refused, and he wasn’t happy,” he told me, and I was shocked that Casey knew and had advised Hardy to walk away.
“So she rejected him for you?” he said, feeling inadequate. He should because Zora had done something he was incapable of.
Casey chuckled and looked at me.
“I am a joke,” he said, and I frowned.
“During one of our arguments in the past, I once told Zora it wasn’t fault that I found my fated, and she could not understand. I honestly

believed I did well, and I tried. Now I realise I was weak. After seeing you give up your fated for her without thinking about it and hearing that she did the same, I now realise I was weak and stupid,” he said, and I smiled at him.
“It is okay. We are all where we are meant to be,” I said, and he nodded in agreement, but his eyes said otherwise.
“Can you tell me anything about Ramsey? He seemed a bit forceful,” I said, trying to make my questions flow into the conversation.
I wanted him to answer me honestly. If I asked him about Ramsey directly, he would be suspicious and want to protect the man for Lori’s sake. I could not allow that. Establishing him in our discussion on Lori and Zora had given me room to inquire more about him without raising Casey’s suspicion.
“He is an obnoxious prick. He schemed with his daughter to get rid of Zora. The worst of his schemes was when he compelled a man to attack Lori and told me Zora sent him to kill her when he was caught. I knew Zora could be ruthless, but she would not kill anyone for something like that. Although Lori got the best of me, I overreacted in the process. When the eastern Alphas joined forces with Hardy, the sleaze bag remained with us. When the alphas returned to me, they were surprised Ramsey never left. I found out he was the one that instigated them to join Hardy. I have yet to confront him, but I do not trust the man. My opinion,” he said quickly, and I realised Casey wasn’t a stupid man. He was very wise.
“Well, since you have established that on your own, it is safe for me to tell you this,” I said and looked at him.
“Ramsey was the one that orchestrated the attack on Gad that led to me attacking the east,” I said, and Casey gasped.
Slowly I saw rage begin to show in his eyes. I could see him destroy Ramsey. He was livid.

“Do you know why?” he asked, and I could hear a low growl. He wasn’t weak at all. I felt his wolf, and Casey was a very powerful man; he just seemed like the peace–loving type.
“That is why I am telling you this. I was hoping we would work together to uncover the culprits,” I said, and he was still.
“I do not need to overthink; he had been trying to get rid of my wife. The arsehole knew you would attack and was hoping I would give up Zora or she would get killed,” he said, and I shook my head.
“That is too broad, Casey. I need you to take your emotions out of it and investigate. It is too specific. If what you are saying is true, it would have been a dangerous gamble because what guarantees that it wouldn’t be his daughter? This Ramsey guy is too smart not to be deliberate and specific. We need to dig deep to find out why he would do such a thing and then frame Cruz for it. Why didn’t he frame Sheperdwell or any other Alpha? Why Cruz? Do you think you can help me figure it out?” I asked Casey, and he nodded.
“I will gladly do it, your eminence,” He said with a promise, and I was happy. He had a bone to pick with Ramsey, and I doubted Lori could make him change his mind. We shook on it.
“I see you will be on the rugby team,” Casey said, and I could see that he knew what was happening.
“I guess Sheperd and Cruz are not out of danger yet,” He said, laughing, and I joined in.
“They wanted to chicken out, but I lied that it was compulsory,” Casey said, and we laughed. We weren’t the only ones that found their suffering satisfying. Casey did too.
Casey and I spent a while in the booth, and soon it was time to join our families, so we left the booth.

While Casey walked me to my family’s booth so he could say hello to Zora, Sheperd and Cruz joined. It was clear they were lurking around and waiting.
Casey shook his head, indicating I disagreed.
