She nods her head with a smile because she knows I will get the answers we want, and I will stop at nothing to get them. We talk for a while longer to give Dolion some time to get uncomfortable.
Dolion has been in the Chamber for over an hour when I finally make my appearance, and I can tell that he is already pissed off with me. “Good afternoon, Dolion,” I say as I sit down. “My name is Ynanna, and I will be asking you a lot of questions today.”
“Why did you want Umayza as your chosen Mate?” I ask, and I know he will not answer me the first time around.
“I mean, she looks kind of pretty, and all I have seen of her is a picture,” I state-not that it is true, as I don’t have any idea what Umayza looks like.
“Did you ask your Alpha to put her in your group because her Father turned you down? Did her Father believe she deserved a High-ranking Wolf over you? Maybe he discussed this with Umayza, and she demanded a High-ranking Wolf over you.”
The more I say, the angrier he becomes, and I know it won’t be long before I will hear the truth. However, I was not ready for what he had to tell me, and I doubt Umayza or her Father knew about this.
Once he is done talking, I slowly get out of my seat. As I walk towards the door, I ask him one final question: “What happens now that you have failed?”
He doesn’t answer me, and he doesn’t have to, as we both know what will happen once word gets out that he is in St. Clairsville prison.
As I walk to Yesenia’s office, I grab my phone and press the number for Council-member Dayanah. I am already in Yesenia’s office when Dayanah answers my call, and I ask her to send extra Security to the prison.
“He works for some dangerous people, and when they find out he is here, they will try to take him out, hoping we don’t get the answers we want,” I state.
Dayanah orders me back to the Academy, and Yesenia is already talking with the Head of her Security. After saying my goodbyes to Yesenia, I head back to the Academy. I can’t wait to tell Umayza who and what she is. I just hope that she is awake and recovering by the time I get back.
After a decent night’s sleep and some breakfast, I walk to the Council’s Chamber. I was informed during breakfast that Umayza was awake and that she and her Father would be present during my debriefing. Captain Armand and his Squad had left early this morning for a new assignment, and I know they won’t be informed of what I found.
The Council never reveals information like that, as the Squads already see enough of the horrors that happen in our world. They don’t need to hear even more, and this one is even more horrific.
I open the door to see a very pretty young female talking to Dayanah. After being introduced to Gray and Umayza, I ask Gray what he can tell us about his fated Mate. He tells us about how they met and how her family had reacted, but he couldn’t tell me why her family had been against their bond.
“Your fated Mate was a member of the Night Shade Pack-to be precise, she was one of the Daughters of the Alpha and Luna. Night Shade Pack is known to sell their services to the highest bidder, and their line of work is very shady, as their Pack name already indicates.”
Ynanna
“In every generation of the Alpha bloodline, there is one female that gets born with the gift of perception-the ability to see, hear, and feel what happened in a certain area. As you can imagine, that would be handy if you want to find out what someone might be hiding.”
“They want to keep every female in their own Pack, as it is impossible to predict which female will give birth to the next gifted female. Every Alpha and Luna have been mostly chosen Mates for centuries. On occasion, a fated couple has been known to take the title of Alpha and Luna, but that hasn’t happened a lot.”
“I doubt your fated Mate had that gift, but she would be able to put the next gifted female into this world. Dolion told me the Luna of Bright Moon Pack realized quickly who Umayza’s Grandparents were, and together with Dolion, she came up with a plan.”
“He contacted your parents-in-law to inform them of your whereabouts, but he didn’t know if Umayza had the gift of perception. He asked them if he could take her as his chosen Mate. They knew his reputation and decided it would be a good idea if Umayza had a Mate that could force her to do their bidding.”
“The older Umayza got, the more convinced your parents-in-law became that she had the gift. Umayza is their youngest Grandpup, and none of their other Granddaughters possess the gift. It manifests around the age of eight and only becomes stronger after that with training.”
“This is why he was so adamant about taking you as his chosen Mate. It meant an increase in rank for him, and your Grandparents get to continue their business. Once they find out he is in St. Clairsville prison, they will come for him, hoping he didn’t tell anyone who or what you are.”
Everyone in the room is quiet, and I watch Umayza as all sorts of emotions run across her face.
Council-member Boaz is the first one to break the silence. “Ynanna, do you think the Alpha knew what his Luna did?”
I shake my head and tell him that he had been unaware of the plans his Luna and Dolion had made in regard to Umayza-that they made sure he never found out any of it.
“His Luna had used the lack of High-ranking males in their Pack as a reason for her to put Umayza in Dolion’s group, and she wanted to make sure their Son wouldn’t pick Umayza, because she knew her Son had an interest in her as well,” I explain.
