“Likewise, Arthur. Goodbye.” Hanging up, I made a few more calls, scheduling interviews with the top three candidates on Nico’s list. An alpha needed a trustworthy informant. Withoutone, things could go south quickly, and I wasn’t willing to put our pack at risk any more than necessary.
With the interviews arranged, I turned my attention to my calendar. It was crammed with appointments and obligations, a constant reminder that I was now responsible for the welfare of the pack.
The phone rang again, interrupting my thoughts, and I sighed as I picked it up. I never knew my father had spent so much time talking to people when he held this position.
“Tyson Keller speaking.”
“Keller!” Castro’s venomous voice Castro immediately put me on edge.
I clenched my jaw. I’d expected this confrontation ever since his face had been plastered all over the news. He was enemy number one to the world.
“Castro,” I acknowledged coldly. “What do you want?”
“Your family forced Liza into submission, and I won’t stand for it.” He spat out the words, his rage barely contained. “You’re all snakes, and I’ll make you pay for corrupting her.”
“Castro, I suggest you stop obsessing over my mate. Liza is no longer an unclaimed omega. She’s mine in every way possible.” My voice was ice. “If you even think about coming near her again, I won’t hesitate to kill you.”
“Enjoy your temporary safety, Keller,” he snarled. “Your pack will pay for everything they’ve done. You might feel safe now, but I’m only getting started. It’s unfortunate that I now have to take Liza down with you.”
The line went dead, and I slammed the phone back into its cradle, fury coursing through me and setting my blood on fire.
The hunt for Castro had only just begun, and I hoped the fucker would be found soon. I couldn’t wait to rip him limb from limb.
I was still fuming when my phone rang again, the shrill sound piercing through my thoughts. Expecting Castro’s voice once more, I barked into the mic, “What do you want now?”
“Ty, it’s Nico,” he said calmly, unfazed by my outburst. “Sorry to bother you again, but this just came to my attention.”
I sighed, trying to shake off my anger. “What is it?”
“My associate just uncovered information you’ll want to know. He found out who’s been helping Castro from within our pack,” Nico said, his tone grave.
Adrenaline surged through me.
“Who?” I demanded.
Nico shared the name with me and the hair on the back of my neck stood on end.
No fucking way.
Ending the call, I grabbed my jacket and stormed out of the office, seething with a fresh wave of rage. As I moved to my car, I sent a message to my team, directing them to meet me at the address I’d text them.
I drove like a bat out of hell, gripping the steering wheel so hard I was surprised it didn’t shatter. I couldn’t believe it. I never would have even expected it, and I was pissed at myself for not seeing it sooner. It all made sense, though. The photos, the packages, and how Castro seemed to be one step ahead of us every fucking time.
I was livid.
The traitor had betrayed us all, helping Castro stay one step ahead while endangering our pack. Unforgivable.
As I pulled up to the house, several police cars were parked outside, their lights flickering ominously as several officers rolled yellow crime-scene tape around the house. An officer jogged over to my vehicle, stopping by the driver’s side window.
I rolled the window down. “What’s going on here?”
“Sir, the premises are off-limits,” he informed me, his face somber. “We found someone dead inside.”
My blood ran cold at the news. Just then, my phone buzzed with a new text message.
