Chapter 77
Still Dominic's POV
It has been established, that Harriet is not a mole, she is just being blackmailed. We need to go over to the Alphas lodge, it' been so long since I called and had a meeting with the Alphas, especially Alpha Gerald. I've missed his words of wisdom, I just hope that he is not truly in danger, I'm hoping and praying that this whole thing tums out to be one big joke. I don't know what I would do to the moles if I finally find them, I hope I'm patient enough to hold back my anger. I would like to get out some vital information from them before tearing them to shreds. They are getting too bold and its getting more difficult to fish them out every f*****g day. How the hell did I get so sloppy, why did I let them slip past my watchful eyes, how did it get to this point where they threaten my subjects right under my nose, how the hell did it get so complicated?
Now my beta and generals are suggesting that we go over to the Alphas lodge and carry out a thorough investigation to find out if the Alphas are in danger, we need to ask questions and find out if anyone can tell us anything about the mole, someone must have spotted him while he is taking those pictures. Now the problem is that Bethany is beginning to ask questions about the Alphas lodge. I've told them not to say anything to her, but I know my woman, I know she would never give up until she gets what she wants, she would keep asking and keep digging until she finds what she is looking for. I don’ know how I'm going to stop her from going to the Alphas lodge with us, I can't let her go with us, I can't let her reunite with her father, I just can't. That man is up to no good, he is worse than the other Alphas I captured and he has a deep grudge against me. I just don't trust that man, I can't let her go back to him, he could turn her against me, he could make her hate me, or worse yet, he could force her to reject our bond, she could leave me if he gets his lies into her head.
Don't blame me for being so guarded around him, I've had a very bad experience with the man, I don't even want her talking to him, let alone seeing her with him. I raided and conquered all the werewolf packs in this country, I heard a lot of things from different packs, some saw me as a demon wolf, while others hated me because I was strong and powerful. They knew many things about me and they all hated me for it, but none of that information had come from the Alphas, all the Alphas had nothing to do with the information circling around their pack, except for Alpha Robert of the Blue Crescent pack. He hac practically filled their hearts with hate speech, giving them many reasons to hate me. He made painted me as such a terrible monster, he made them detest me to the point that they ran the other way when they saw me. He told them a completely different story, making me look like w monstrous Lunatic. He had tried so hard to get back his throne, he values his title as Alpha more than anything else. His desperation makes him a very dangerous man, even to his family.
How do I tell Bethany that her father is still alive, not even that, how do I even tell her that her father is one of my suspects, how do I tell her that her father could be a mole, she would be so devastated and sad, she could take his side again and tur her back on me. I can't bear the thought of that, I can't live without her. She would not forgive me this time, she would neve; listen to me again. I've been thinking about it for almost one hour and I still haven't come up with a solution to this issue. I just can't tell her and I can't let her go with us to the Alphas lodge. The only thing I can do now is to stall. I'm going to stall this movement until I come up with a reasonable excuse to keep her so busy in the castle. There is no way I'm letting her go along with us, there is no way I'm letting her reunite with her family. I can't let her turn against me, I can't lose her.
“Is there a reason why we are not on the road already, we can still get there tonight” Bethany let out all of a sudden, making me groan in frustration. I knew she won't let it go, I knew she would keep asking until she get what she wants. She is just so Inquisitive, too inquisitive for her own good.
“Come on Beth, it's late already. King Ashford would have his eyes on you and Harriet, you have a mission, remember?
King Ashford would be Keep watch on you two to make sure you carry out his instructions. If he finds out that you are deviating from the plan, he could give the order to eliminate Alpha Gerald. We have to act smartly or we could end u losing this war before it even begins.” I told her pointedly. Damn, I'm good. I can't believe that I've come up with a perfect solution to this problem, it's just the right thing to do. I would keep her on this mission for the next two days, then the guys and I would go over to the Alphas lodge and find out what is really going on. I hope she doesn't make a fuss about it, I hope she listens to me when I tell her that she has to stay back in the castle with Harriet and my tech guy. I know I am going to come clean and tell her the truth, but not yet, not when I know that her father could be the mole that king Ashford placed in the Alphas lodge. The most hilarious part of this whole thing is that Alpha Robert would never get the opportunity to be called by King Ashford. If by chance he turns out to be the mole, then I am so sure that he is the one that offered himself as a willing subject. I could only imagine what he had promised to give king Ashford, he can offer anything at his disposal as long as it gets him what he wants.
“What do we do now, how do we get him to think that we are already carrying out his orders, he needs me to carry out this mission as soon as possible, how do I fool him when he is obviously watching my every move.2” She asked once more.
“You are going to do everything he asked you exactly and you the way he wants it, and while you are at it, you will also repos back to him and give him proof of your actions. Harriet, I need you to follow his instructions as well, but you both have to keep me in the loop always, I want to know everything” I told them strictly. They were all looking at me like clowns because they have no idea what is happening. My tech guy did not pay any heed to our discussion, he has been sitting on my seat, working on my laptop and his as well, trying to create a software that would secure all my files. They were still looking at me like a bunch of zombies, I put them through my plans with my tech guy, telling them how he is working on a software that would protect every damn file on my system. If anyone tries to access my files without my permission, it blows up in their faces. That aside, he is also going to hide every important file in my systems, it would be hidden in plain sight, but he would never be able to recognize them or access them. It's a long shot but it's all we could come up with.
I'll be taking a very big risk, I am putting all my hope on this guy, I am trusting in his abilities, I know he is good at his job, I've seen him work wonders with his fast fingers on a keyboard. I just hope that King Ashford doesn't have better technical experts, I hope he doesn't have guys that would break our code and steal all my important files. Just to be on the safe side, copied all the files that contain all my war strategies and everything that has to do with my businesses, I copied them in a flash drive and put them away, then I erased them completely from the system. It is better safe than sorry. Although I still believe that he is going to get it done, I trust in his capabilities, besides, he created a link that allows him to see everything that they are trying to steal from my system, he would know if they are close to breaking his security code, he would then crash my computers and stop them from stealing my files. He would monitor everything that they are doing from right here in my office they may see all the files, but they would never be able to access them, they won't get anything out of my computers.
