I looked down at the paper and looked back up at Silas.
I took in a deep breath.
"If you didn’t send this letter, then how did I get it?" I asked, holding up the letter to Silas’s view.
Silas shrugged and cleared his throat.
"I have no idea." Silas shook his head.
My entire body froze.
What the hell was Silas getting at?
"That’s your seal." I pointed out the paper.
"Yes, but that is not the letter I had sent to you." He said.
I closed my eyes, unable to believe what I was hearing.
"How would a letter bearing your own seal be fake?" I asked as I rose to the floor. "And how did it somehow get to me if it wasn’t yours?"
"Whoa," Silas said, raising his hand at my growing tension. "Calm down, Xaden. We’ve been friends for too long for me even to lie or betray you."
The tension in the room was so thick I could taste it.
I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself.
I didn’t want to believe that Silas had somehow set Jasmine up.
What did he even have to gain?
Considering how much Anna had lied about her upbringing in the pack and how much I had been deceived.
I wasn’t sure I could trust anyone so easily anymore.
So who had done this?
"What are we going to do..." Silas said. "Is find the wolves whom had been instructed to send out the letter to you. Let’s start from there?"
I nodded as I massaged my temple.
Silas started to leave, but I went right behind him.
"I’ll come along," I said, refusing to be left behind.
I was already sick and tired of being ragged in a game out of my own foolish ignorance.
Silas nodded, and together we left the pack house and headed down the pack grounds.
"David!" Silas called out from the men training.
David, who seemed to be their trainer —a buff man who was short yet well equipped in the arts of training —turned to us.
I had never seen him before.
"Come." Silas beckoned with his hands.
David turned to the young boys training. "Continue with hand-to-hand combat. Don’t shift!"
And with that, he walked away from the barricaded training grounds and stood before us in a matter of seconds.
"Alpha." David quickly bowed.
His wolf whimpered in obedience, and I nodded.
It was only then that David slowly rose to his feet and met my eyes.
He had white hair and white brows; his eyes were equally white, and I instantly knew his species.
"David," Silas said. "I’ll officially introduce you to Alpha Xaden. Alpha of this pack."
I winced at being called Alpha of the moonlight pack.
