“Too close to what?” I snarl, her lips quirking up in the corners.
“Jeez, Aubrey, you still haven’t figured it out?” she rolls her eyes, but I have, I just know information is key. “Rhett’s father figured out what Rhett was really doing–dealing in trafficking and the blood trade of humans. Fool just couldn’t turn a blind eye to it. It was for the betterment of the pack, he tried to go to Soren but when he couldn’t he went to her at the council. Had he handed down the pack to Rhett and remained ignorant he’d still be here, Rhett took his death hard.”
“Ignorant to what? Trafficking humans to the vamps?” I ask, feeling disgusted by what I am hearing.
“No, foolish girl. The vampire king was been building an army. We knew the only way for the pack to survive was to ensure we were on the winning side when the war broke out. So Rhett cut a deal with the vampire king, he was only trafficking the humans to build his trust.”
“Hoe did his father find out?” I ask curiously, while feeling my hands grow slicker in the ropes, as they loosen more.
“His father? He found out after catching Rhett loading the trucks with unmarked containers. Rhett warned his father, but the idiot ran straight to the council and the Queen. We couldn’t have that. His father threatened to expose everything to the rest of the packs, and that wasn’t part of the plan.”
My blood runs cold. “So he killed him? Rhett killed his own father?”

Bianca shrugs nonchalantly as if it’s no big deal. “In our world, it’s either you do the killing or you get killed. Rhett had no choice, once this war breaks out, there will be no turning back. The council would’ve come after him if they knew what he was really involved in, especially after his father went to her; we knew once she told the king, a war would break out. Our pack would be smack in the middle of it all because his father had to run his mouth to the queen.”
I feel my stomach twist. “You’re both monsters,” I whisper under my breath, my heart breaking with the realization of the depths of their depravity and cruelty.
“No, we were trying to save the pack from becoming collateral in a war that is inevitable.”
“What war!?” I growl, there has been no pack tension in years
until now.
“With the humans, who else. Aren’t you sick of hiding on full moons, sick of having to bend to their governments?”
Bianca’s lips curl into a smirk, and she steps closer, leaning down to whisper in my ear. “And once we have control of the ports, once you mark him, we’ll be untouchable. The council will have no choice but to back us. Rhett will own the biggest pack; he’ll get his place on the council, ensuring his vote for the vampire king. And all of this mess will be forgotten.”
“It won’t work,” I tell her knowing she is delusional for thinking it will.
“The vampire king will ensure it. He will be happy–he’ll get his blood supply, and be king of everyone. Rhett will have the power he’s always wanted, and our alliance with the vampire king will ensure the pack isn’t slaughtered when he takes over

I look at her, disgusted. “And what, you’ll be okay with me marking Rhett?” I laugh. “With me mating him and carrying his heir?” I chuckle.
“Who said anything about an heir? You’re only needed while he takes over.” I laugh even harder.
“You stupid bitch, you keep speaking of him getting rid of me, like he has promised this to you. But there is only two ways, Rhett keeps my pack. One he keeps me and makes m ehis Luna, two I provide an heir. My father’s pack won’t answer to him and Rhett knows this!”
“You’re wrong!” she screeches.
“Am I, because he already killed my family, so why didn’t he take my pack when he took me?” I pause, letting her think.
