“Thank you. Did any of you report this?”

“I didn’t, but one of the others did. I can’t remember who they spoke to.”

“Do you know who the stranger spoke to?”

“No, there were too many scents. The stranger only stuck out because it was foreign.”

This stranger now had two accomplices covering his tracks, and both were enforcers.

We need to talk. ASAP. My office.I sent to both of my brothers. I didn’t want to rely on our family link. A mis-thought could have someone listening in. We would have to wait until we were in the warded privacy of my office.

Axel was waiting inside my office when I arrived, Chase following closely behind me. I closed the door firmly and made sure that the ward was active.

“What’s wrong?” Axel asked, concern lining his features. So similar to my own it was like looking in a mirror.

“Rincoln Hayes was likely at the omega houses. Probably looking for his son.”

“Did you ever check that Kade was Ryder?” Chase piped up. He lounged in his chair, leg thrown over the arm, completely unconcerned.

“No.”

“Nah, little brother here was too busy tending to his mate.” Axel threw his arm around my shoulders and led me to our seats. “Besides, it doesn’t matter who he’s looking for. The man is shady. There’s no excuse for an unmated alpha to be around the omegas unescorted.”

Chase nodded. “True. There are no records, I assume?”

“This is the problem. We have at least two enforcers hiding Rincoln’s whereabouts. We can’t trust their loyalty now. In fact, you are the only people I trust for sure.”

“What about Deke?” Axel asked, looking between me and Chase.

“As our cousin and former pack leader, I’d assume he wants what’s best for us, but I don’t know what Rincoln is offering these enforcers to turn their back on us. He has access to some money and his pack was substantial before it was disbanded and his mating nullified. Deke could have been turned, but I want to trust him. He’s family, from Mom’s side, so that automatically means I cut him more slack than I should.” I put my head in my hands. “What should we do?”

“We get him here and ask him directly, then clue him in when he passes.” Chase said matter-of-factly. “I’ll test him and we can make him take an oath.”

“Chase is right. We need to check Deke’s loyalty. We need to know he’s with us. He’s pretty in with the other enforcers. He might be able to sniff out the ones we need to watch.”

“Good point. That’s what we’ll do.”
