We returned home early, and Darius was a bit nervous about the hearing that had suddenly moved up. I told him to relax, but he was nervous. It showed all over him.
“I think I have been too damn lenient. They wouldn’t have tried this with my father,” He said, and as sad as it was, he was telling the truth.
The people needed a firm hand. Everyone thought they could piss all over him.
First, it was the forged letters, then my poisoning, Abelardo’s set up, and now this. The earlier we started catching people, the better for us.
Gezel was yet to lead us anywhere, but Brian Wilson was asked to stay on her. We hope to catch a break.
“I agree with you, Darius. This may seem a bit wrong. But when this petition thing is over, we should make some changes to the council after we remove those women from the seats they occupy. The council members are old, and Vino is young and seems not to want to cross
anyone.
You should put him in check. If he can’t do the job, he should let us know so we can place someone else. It is time he starts taking responsibility for the actions and inactions of the council as their leader, or he should vacate the seat for a more capable person,” I said. Darius pulled me close and buried his nose in my neck.
He was distraught, and I could feel it. His love bite on my inner thigh tingled, and I could feel the tension he needed to dissipate.

“We can’t work against the Lawrence now; they are our strongest ally on the council.
Vino’s need for my friendship has always made him side with us. Asking him to step down would mean I would not have an ally on the council,” he said, and I turned to look at him.
“As much as I know this isn’t the time, I think it is time to get Abelardo on Balyaev’s seat,” I said, and he broke away and shook his head.
“I know Abelardo might have come around in your eyes, but I do not trust him to make good decisions. Especially with Glenda still in his life.
He has not been able to stand up to her and break away, how will he be able to handle the council?
Vino is still doing a good job compared to him. See how Larry used him.
I would be empowering a tool my enemies can use against me.” He said. and I could see his point.
He sat on the bed, and I kneeled behind him to massage his neck and shoulders. He needed to relieve his body from the tension he was feeling, I helped him take off his shirt, and he flexed his muscles, making me run my palms against his perfectly sculpted body on instincts. I went in front of him and straddled him. As much as I wanted to relieve him of his
tension, I wanted to enjoy it too.
Darius woke me up gently. I passed out after the multiple orgasms.
I looked at the clock, and it was seven in the evening.
He kissed my neck, and I moaned, waking up fully.
“William called, darling. He said they have all their wives and some of their children. They are in a secured location.” he said, and I got off the bed immediately and wore my house robe.

“I will need to use the computer in your office; I hope it has a Virtual Private Network installed on it,” I said, and he nodded.
“Is your subscription active?” I asked, and he smiled.
“Always,” he replied.
“Good. Leave this to us,” I said and Linked Kara and Eloise to join me in the home office.
It was time to send our darling Alphas the instructions they needed to get their mates back unharmed.
Eloise and Kara got to the office simultaneously, and they were excited. They had yet to tell me what happened with their exes, but this was important.
“You reek of Darius, Zora,” Eloise complained, and I laughed.
I passed out after making love and did not shower before coming to the office; of course, I reeked of him, and I liked it.
“I thought it was only me that picked the strong scent,” Kara said, and Eloise shook her head.
“Let’s get to work,” I told them, and they were happy.
“We are to create temporary emails and send them letters instructing them on what to do, but we must not make it seem like it came from the
Hands,” I said, and Eloise nodded.
“It should come from the west. Let us request ridiculous amounts of money. It can come from any part of the west except, Jake Brighton’s territory,” I said, and Kara frowned.
“Don’t you think Jake’s people would need money the most?” She asked me, and I sighed.

I remembered my poisoning. I did not pursue the matter because I wanted peace and did not want the peace we had established with our visit to be destroyed.
“Remember how sick I was when we returned?” I said, and Kara nodded.
“There was poison in my system, and I think one of his children or his Nephew did it; how best to hurt the wolf lord by trying to kill his mate. I believe I was lucky I couldn’t keep anything down and kept throwing up. It saved my life. Only a little of whatever they put in my food got into my bloodstream.” I said, and she was stunned.
“Why didn’t they poison me? We ate the same food,” She said, and I shook my head.
“We did not use the same plates. I am not sure, but I think the poison was on the utensils, not the food. Or maybe it was water or juice I was served in the bedroom. Either way, someone wanted to hurt Darius by hurting me.” I said, and she was in shock.
To think she would have died if they had opted to feed her the same poison must have scared her.
My pregnancy symptoms had saved my life.
Kara had no issues, so she would have kept everything down, and it would have gone into her bloodstream.
“What is Darius doing about it?” She asked, sounding a bit annoyed and feeling betrayed.
“I did not let him dwell on the matter. What happened in Brighton isn’t a mystery,Kara; what is happening now is a mystery. We need to figure out the people working against our men. As for Jake’s children, I know they did it because of what happened to their mother. They were trying to get even. We know them and their reasons. We can catch them anytime, but the person who authorised the attack on Brighton and framed Darius

then, Abelardo, is very dangerous. We need to catch that person, so they don’t do much damage.” I said, and I could see motivation in their eyes.
We got to work contacting the alphas anonymously and instructing them on what to do if they wanted their mates back.
Eloise, Kara and I had dinner in the office, and Kara seemed a bit ill.
I did not want to get her hopes up, but I felt it would be best to take a pregnancy test because she had been acting funny.
