MARRIED TO THE ALPHA - VOLUME 2 - Season 10 Episode 20

In Alpha Edward’s study…

Beta Raymond, Alpha Edward, and James were listening to Ana’s story about what happened in George’s villa.

It was Ana’s fifth time recollecting the events. She was frustrated that they were asking her to repeat the same things. Why can’t they understand that Alpha Damon’s Luna was a skanky Omega from the attic of their packhouse? That same Omega was now in Commander George’s villa along with Alpha Damon. And Ana was bullied!

Beta Raymond and Alpha Edward exchanged thoughts through the mind link, and James used this opportunity to ask George without others noticing.

‘What happened at your place?’

‘I’m sure Ana told you,’ George responded.

‘How will you handle it?’

‘We have a plan.’

‘Do you need me to help?’

George thought for a second before responding, ‘You were not here, so you don’t know what happened. Depending on how it goes, remind Alpha Edward to check with me before doing something that can’t be taken back.’

Ana stood in front of Alpha Edward’s desk while shifting on her legs impatiently. She was confident that Alpha Edward would send warriors to storm George’s villa and start a war with the Dark Howlers pack or something… anything other than this lack of action.

“Excuse me, Alpha Edward,” Ana called. “What are you going to do about this?”

Beta Raymond frowned at this. “You said that Alpha Damon and Luna Talia are in Commander George’s villa and that they seemed friendly.” Ana nodded, and Beta Raymond asked his next question, “Where was Nora?” He didn’t care about the part where Talia was an Omega from the Red Moon pack.

“Nora was right there, watching as they tortured me, and she didn’t move a finger!”

Beta Raymond’s eyes lost focus for a moment, and then he frowned at Ana. “Nora says that she just finished dressing up Lieutenant Owen’s mate and her friend who is visiting. She said that other than you bailing out on her shortly after arriving, there were no other incidents. Do you care to explain?”

Ana’s eyes moved randomly while she processed this information. “Nora is in cahoots with them!”

“What!?” Beta Raymond shouted.

Alpha Edward raised his hand, indicating to Beta Raymond to calm down.

Alpha Edward knew that Ana’s story sounded unbelievable, but he also knew that she wouldn’t dare to lie about it. It was not a secret that Alpha Edward was merciless, and Omega deceiving him would be equal to courting death. Ana was greedy and unscrupulous, but she was not stupid.

“Nora spent time in the Dark Howlers pack, and so did Commander George,” Alpha Edward shared his thoughts for everyone to hear. “It wouldn’t be unexpected that they developed some… friendships.”

James watched as his father’s eyes moved to scrutinize him, and he knew that he just became a suspect.

“Friendships?” James asked. “I wouldn’t go that far. George and Alpha Damon sparred, but I didn’t see them socializing outside of that. Regardless of their relationship, I must notice a few issues with Ana’s story.” James made a dramatic pause before asking questions, “How could Alpha Damon and Luna Talia be in George’s villa without anyone knowing? Didn’t they arrive half an hour ago with their party? Our warriors saw them exit the garage together. Unless they can magically teleport, I don’t see how that’s possible.”

“Are you saying that Ana is lying?” Alpha Edward asked.

James raised his hands. “I wouldn’t dare. I was in my room with the tailor for the final fitting before I came here, so I have no idea what transpired. But I must ask Ana…” He turned to look at the Omega in question. “Let’s assume your story is true, Luna Talia was there, and she bullied you while Nora stood on the side. Considering that Nora is returning to the packhouse without raising alarms, we can assume that her visit there went without incidents.”

James turned to his father. “We are monitoring all electronic communication. If Nora formed friendships with people from the Dark Howlers pack, they would stay in touch. We know for a fact that there were no emails, messages, or phone calls between Nora and anyone from the Dark Howlers pack. We know that Nora caused an incident there and spent time in their dungeon. It doesn’t make sense that a prideful she-wolf like Nora would be friends with people who made her suffer.”

James waited for Alpha Edward to nod in agreement before turning to Ana. “Do you think we are stupid? Why would Luna Talia pick to torture you instead of Beta’s daughter? Did you reveal information on the packhouse? Did you tell them about my father’s schedule?”

Ana shook her head vigorously. “No, no. I didn’t say a thing!”

“How is that possible?” James asked while rubbing his chin. “If Luna Talia has Alpha Aura, she could force you to talk.”

“She didn’t,” Ana was quick to say. “She didn’t ask me any questions.”

“Are you saying that Alpha Damon and his Luna sneaked into Commander George’s house to torture you without getting anything in return?”

“They didn’t sneak in. They were comfortable, and people there didn’t react to their presence.”

“You say they didn’t sneak in, yet our border patrols didn’t report their entrance.”

Ana glared at James. “I don’t know how border patrols work, but if we have rogues sneaking in, why can’t an Alpha?”

“Makes sense,” James said. “But it still doesn’t explain why they didn’t ask you any questions. Did you tell them something sensitive, and now you are trying to cover it up by accusing our border patrols of being faulty?”

“Stop twisting my words!” Ana hissed.

“I am not twisting anything,” James said. “I am just repeating what you said and trying to make sense of it. You said that you went with Nora to help two Omegas get ready for the party, but instead, you found three females, one of them was Luna Talia of the Dark Howlers pack. Luna Talia bullied you and exposed herself as an Omega from the Red Moon pack, and then Alpha Damon also appeared, and they tortured you without reason and without asking questions.”

“The reason is that I recognized her!” Ana shouted.

James raised his hand, indicating that he was not done. “And then… they let you go. Which part of that makes sense? The one that Luna Talia was working in this packhouse? Or the one where you were tortured by an Alpha just an hour ago, and you are standing here without a single scratch on your body?”

Alpha Edward frowned at this. He had a feeling that Ana was not lying, but James’ words made sense.

Alpha Edward never thought of James as a smart kid. Was Ana’s story so full of holes that even someone like James could find flaws? Alpha Damon and Luna Talia would know that letting Ana leave after seeing them would be disastrous. And then there was the point of Ana being perfectly fine.

Alpha Edward finally spoke, “Didn’t you say that they broke your bones?” And there was something related to people worrying about messing up the carpet.

“They did, they did!” Ana said, and she extended her arms to show injuries, but she realized that her flesh was perfectly fine.

Ana paused. Did Alpha Edward think of her as a liar? That was a possibility. But she was still there, talking, and he was listening, so she was confident that it was not in vain. He will go and check and see that her story was not made up, and then she will become more useful, which comes with more perks!
