Chapter 346: Aurora

I watched the CCTV footage on my phone. As soon as I noticed noisy Alina had left, I shook my head and showed it to Evander. He sighed, relaxing in his chair and pushing papers away. “Ugh… I have a headache from looking at all these papers because of her.”

I chuckled. “Are you complaining about a few minutes?” I slammed my hand on my forehead, shaking my head. “I’ve been working on these daily since Dane got unwell.”

Evander took a deep breath, leaning forward. “I came here to rest. I’ve done too much work back home, Aurora.”

I pinched his chin, about to taunt him, but decided against it. I knew Evander single-handedly handled the business back home and how hectic it must have been.

“Fine,” I said, rolling my eyes. “I’ll have some mercy on you.”

“May the goddess bless you, dear sister,” Evander said, clasping his hands together and raising them before his bowed head.

I clicked my tongue, arranging my desk. “Why have you called me here, Aurora?” Evander asked.

I nodded. “It has to do with Alina.”

“I guessed, with the way she was snooping. Is it about her sudden reappearance and claims?”

I nodded. “We need to help Piper and Warrick. They can’t outsmart Alina alone. They came here for my help, and I can’t do it without assistance.”

Evander shook his head. “And you think I’m smart enough to outsmart that cunning girl?”

“I’m here to help you. Together, she doesn’t stand a chance.”

“Fine… what needs to be done?”

“We need to talk to Miles…”

“The young boy at the pack doctor’s place?”

I nodded. “But we can’t just go and talk to him. Alina’s eyes are everywhere, but we have some leverage; according to her, we’re not enemies.”

Evander sighed. “So how do you want us to talk to him?”

“I’ll go to the pack doctor’s place this evening to get medicine for Tristan, then I’ll speak with Miles.”

“That’s good. Should I come with you?”

“No. I don’t want her seeing us together; she’d be suspicious.”

I got up and went to where he sat. I tapped his back. “I’ll get going now. Stay here until I return, okay?”

He nodded, and I walked out of the office. I left the pack house and caught the eyes of Rowan and Lily. Immediately they saw me, they approached. Rowan bowed slightly. “Good evening, Luna.”

“Good evening, Rowan…” I replied, continuing to walk and quickly looking around to ensure Alina wasn’t nearby.

Rowan walked with me. “Luna… I heard the news about Alina’s pregnancy.”

I sighed. “What else did you hear?”

“I heard she said Warrick is the father.”

“Okay,” I said, continuing to walk.

“Okay? Is that all? You do know Alina’s lying, right?”

I shrugged. “Rowan… I don’t care about all of that. I have my own problems; my kids are here. I just want to focus on my family and some important issues for now.”

Rowan’s jaw dropped as she stared at me in shock. He swallowed. “Okay, Luna…”

I nodded. “Warrick created this mess; let him clean it up.” I paused, standing before him. “We’re having a get-together party soon to welcome back everyone who left and returned, including Alina.”

Rowan nodded. I continued, “Share the news. I’ll get preparations ready soon. Now, if you don’t mind, I have to get some medicine for my son.”

I walked away from Rowan, my heart squeezing. I knew I’d hurt the poor boy by disregarding him, but what could I do? I didn’t know who Alina’s eyes and ears were in the pack.

I walked out of the pack gate, and before I could take another step, Trajan raced up to me. “Where are you going without any guards, Aurora?”

I looked at Trajan, wondering if I should tell him my plans. I trusted him, but I also knew he might not be able to outsmart Alina. That girl is too cunning. I didn’t need many people involved—just me, Evander, and probably Miles for the underground work.

“Ermm… everyone was busy, so I thought not to disturb…”

“Disturb?”

I nodded.

“What do you pay them for then, if it wasn’t to guard you?” Trajan asked, raising an eyebrow.

Why is he still following me? I have to find a way to send him back; I can’t talk to Miles with him there.

I breathed and came to a halt; he stopped too, right in front of me. “Trajan… I want you to go to my office. There’s a contract file I want you to take to the border and give to Raven. He should take it to our business partners.”

Trajan’s eyes dropped. “Now?” he asked.

“Yes!” I replied firmly. “Now.”

Trajan grunted, scratching the back of his head before walking back toward the pack house.

I walked down the busy path and reached the pack doctor’s place in a few minutes. As I entered, I looked for Miles, but couldn’t see him.

Where is he?

I paced the corridor, waiting for him. He was meant to be outside as a guard, so if he’d gone out, he’d be back soon.

I sighed, turning and bumping into someone.

“Why are you here?”

I looked up to see Dane. My eyes widened in shock. What do I tell him? I can’t lie that I was here for Tristan’s medicine; he knew Tristan was well.

“Well?” I started, scratching the back of my neck. “I haven’t been feeling well, so I’ve come for a pregnancy test.”
