Chapter 664

Gavin's POV

"Tell me you figured out why our security went down," I said as I walked into my office to see Taylor.

"Even better," Taylor said, leaning back in the desk chair as if he owned the place.

If he figured out a way to get our servers back and the cause of the issue, I might promote him. Though it'd suck to lose him as a Beta if I were to make him an Alpha, he'd deserve it.

"I was able to trace the threat back to its original source," he said, a smug smile on his face.

I grinned.

"What asshole thought they could break into our security system and not think we'd notice?" I asked, although a part of me already knew the answer.

"Take a wild guess," Taylor murmured.

I rolled my eyes.

"Fucking Levi," I muttered. This wasn't the first time he's tried to hack into our system, though he's never gotten as far as to actually shut down our security system. I had a feeling he was behind this bullshit, and I was ready to put a stop to him.

"Yeah, and I hacked Judy's messages too," Taylor said.

I narrowed my eyes at him; I didn't ask him to hack Judy's messages or even dig up dirt concerning her. In fact, I didn't want him to do any of that. I didn't want Judy to find out and think that I was looking into her because I didn't trust her.

"Why the fuck would you do that?" I asked him, unable to hide the dark bite in my tone.

"I was suspicious," Taylor said with a shrug.

"I didn't ask you to be suspicious of her," I said, my wolf agitated.

Now that I knew for certain that Judy was my fated mate... my second chance mate... and we already marked one another, I didn't like the fact that my Beta was suspicious of her, or even think about her for that matter.

I was wearing a turtle neck so he couldn't see the mark, but my wolf was about to make himself known if he didn't choose his next words carefully.

Taylor frowned at my expression, a nervous glint in his eyes as he cleared his throat.

"I just mean...

...She

ended up in Levi's

territory pretty suddenly. She's never

mentioned it before, and then

vel

suddenly she's gone. I was suspicious about it. It wasn't anything Judy had done... rather, I was worried Levi was feeding her false information to get her away from you..."

Now my world's agitation was directed elsewhere. The fact that someone was trying to take my Judy away from me pissed me the fuck off.

"What did you fine?" I asked through gritted teeth.

"Levi had been in contact with her periodically since the competition," he told me. "Trying to convince her to come to his territory and work for him. He gave her a bunch of false promises, and she was unconvinced by him at first. It didn't seem like she was remotely interested, but over time, she started to become more open to the idea. She was only in contact with Ron on behalf of Levi. Then at the very end, something must have happened because he made the quick decision to accept the job," Taylor told me.

I swallowed.

"That must have been when she thought Rachel and I were getting married," I told him, shuddering at the memory of Judy telling me what Rachel had told her.

Taylor nodded.

"Yeah, that sounds about right," he muttered. "Well, she left here and went there, and then their communication completely stopped. But a week later, the rogue attacks in the Redcliff started to happen."

My jaw was tight, and I thought I was going to dig my nails into the flesh of my palms. Fury was rising in me; I wanted to kill somebody. It was Levi's fault that Judy had left... well, part of it was my fault for neglecting her, but Levi fed her false information.noveldrama

"That's not all," Taylor said, a sheepish expression on his face.

I wasn't sure how much I could handle before my wolf completely lost control, but

I needed to hear what he had to say.

"What more is there?" I asked.

“Rachel...” he muttered, meeting my eyes. "Her real name is Lila, and she's the chosen mate of Levi Churchill."

I nearly exploded.

"What the actual fuck are you talking about?" I asked. "What do you mean by her real name?"

"I mean, she gave you a fake name. She's not a real nurse. She's an actress who would do anything for Levi, including dedicating years of her lifeto the ultimate role," Taylor explained. "Nothing she ever told you was real, and honestly, she was probably the one who helped your sister and her boyfriend leave the pack all those years ago. She was fake, just like I suspected."
