"Possibly, but I know he is linked to it somehow," she says, not looking sure herself.
"Would Elder Stiles report Osiris, though, since he is his son?" she asks.
"I know they had a falling out. That is all I know."
Elena sighs. "So what we know is my father was working with Thomas and Osiris. He stole money from the council to pay back a gambling debt which was from before he sold the laundromats to Thomas," she says thoughtfully.
"Without the extra money coming in from the laundromat, he couldn't afford to pay the debt, so he stole the money from the council," I tell her, and she nods.
"Still doesn't explain where Stiles is," I tell her.
"What if Stiles found out about Osiris being linked to the laundromats?" she questions.
"If I have had to guess, I'd say Osiris killed his father," Elena tells me, “which is why I requested all documents on every alpha in the city."
"Am I under suspicion?" I chuckle.
"No, of course not. I never requested your files, just Soyer's, Osiris’, Thomas', and Cane's."
"Why, Cane’s?" I ask curiously.
"I know he's a friend of yours, but something about the accident doesn't add up."
"Like what?"
"The fact he lied about where he was the day of the accident, but that isn't all. Did you know Cane was the product of an affair?" she asks me, and I blink at her.
"Excuse me?" Elena shrugs.
“There is a reason he was never made Alpha. It had nothing to do with not wanting to take the position."
"What do you mean?" I ask, leaning forward and bracing my arms on the desk.
"The day of the accident, his father picked him up from an insane asylum. Yet the reports say he was never in the car."
"So? Just means his father dropped him home before he headed back here, he did have a home in the town he lived in, and not surprisingly, I told you he spent time in one," I tell her.
"The address he had listed was for an old lady, his biological grandmother on his mother's side.”
“Biological grandmother? Cane is adopted?” I ask, and Elena shakes her head.
“So, Alpha Lyle had an affair,”
“Yep!” Elena tells me, but that makes no sense to me.
“Then what, Alpha Lyle stole him from his bio mother?" I ask, trying to piece together what she is telling me.
"No, she died giving birth to him. Alpha Lyle's Luna." She tries to explain, but I cut her off, getting confused about the story.
"Luna Grace?" I question.
"Yes, Luna Grace made out Cane was her son to cover up the fact Alpha Lyle had cheated on her with a woman named Dana. That is why Pete, despite his record, was to be the next Alpha. Apparently, the entire pack petitioned against Pete taking over; it's why the title was never handed down to him." she explains.
"Yes, I heard rumors of that. It's why his pack is so small and was no longer council worthy or recognized for a seat in the council. Those that opposed Pete taking over, Lyle banished or killed, which dropped their numbers." I tell her. She nods, sliding a piece of paper over to me, and I find it is Cane's original birth certificate.
"See, Cane is an illegitimate child of Alpha Lyle; and a she-wolf named Dana. Pete is only his half-brother, and if you check his birth certificate, you’ll see, Luna Grace is not listed as his mother."
"Well, that explains why his brother always hated him growing up," Khan tells me, and I have to agree.
