Star-Crossed Enemies ✔️

Chapter 24

"And we found footprints of the palace of the pen drive you gave us. It has all the common areas except the royal suite. That's the only place she doesn't have clearance to go in."

"So she's definitely involved." I comment happy that we finally got to find one of the bastards.

"What about the young man? Who is he?" I ask wanting to know who the other suspect was.

"Okay...this one is a long stretch, even I admit to that. His name is Miller Hale. Rogue. He came into the pack when he was 7 years old. Our pack destroyed a rogue camp not far from here and he was the only survivor. They let him live since he was a child and had been born in the rogue camp instead of kicked out of a pack."

"So they brought him into the pack."

"That still doesn't excuse the fact that the pack killed his family." Hayley says "He might be looking for revenge and the hunters could have taken advantage of that"

"And that's not all. He works as a Junior Guard in the pack."

"Which means he has easy access to security plans and codes." Jordan speaks for the first time since we got here. "He's too young. There is no way he was all the access required to plan an attack."

"No." Hayley says staring at the screen in focus "He's being trained..."

"What do you mean?"

"There must be another hunter in the guard. A senior one. One that was around 15 years ago at the time of the attack and that still remains in the guard today to teach him the ropes. One who has access to all the codes and the ability to teach his successor without being suspicious." Hayley explains

"I'm on it."

Maddy pulls up a list but it is still too extensive.

"There are no humans or rogues in the guard from the last fifteen years ago still active today." she says

"That means things just got complicated." Hayley comments

"What do you mean?" I ask her

"It means we might be dealing with a wolf born in the pack. A pack mate." she explains

They looked at her as if she was crazy.

"She's right." Christine says quietly "In 1897 a group of wolves from the pack made a coup for the crown. Again in 1914, a wolf killed another for stealing his fiancé. 1952, 1963, 1981...history is full of reports of wolves from the same pack betraying each other. Just because is taboo, it doesn't mean it never happens."

Everybody stays silent, contemplating her words.

"Maddy look into the wolves that are still active in the guard that were a part of the guard 15 years ago. See if any one of them have a connection with Miller or a possible motive for working with the hunters." I instruct her. I turn to Jordan and Dave "In the mean time I want you to find out everything you can about our two main suspects. I want to know who their friends are, where they go, what they eat for fucking breakfast, clear?"

Jordan and Dave nod their heads in understanding.

"Christine" I call out

"Yes?"

"I want you to tell me everything you know about the attack on the pack 15 years ago."

"Sure. Just give a minute." she says.

"Why is that important?" Hayley asks confused "It happened 15 years ago."

"It might give us clues about where to look next." I tell her "Was there anything on this attack in the files you recovered from the hunters?"
