“I intend to make up for it,” he whispered, his grip tightening on my hand ever so slightly. “For all of it.”
My heart fluttered at his touch, and | looked up to see those green eyes staring down at me, filled with the same
intensity as when he had been holding our daughter. “Noah...”
“Lettake you on a date this weekend,” he said suddenly. “Just the two of us. I'll take you out to a nice.
restaurant, somewhere fan
We can talk, really talk, without any distractions.”
The idea both thrilled and terrified me. We hadn't had that in so long-maybe never. That... chance to really talk.
To date. To act like a real couple. And talking... | guess we needed that now more than ever.
“I... | think that would be nice,” | said finally, offering him a small smile.

Noah's face lit up brighter than the sunset, and for a moment, | was transported back to our early days together
as teenagers. The urge to kiss him was overwhelming, but | held myself back, settling instead for leaning up on
my tiptoes and giving him a quick peck on the cheek.
Even that small contact of lips against buttery warm skin sent a jolt through me, and clearly did the sfor
him, if the pinkish tinge on his cheeks was at all related and not just the sunset reflecting off his face.
“Drive safely.” | murmured, stepping back.
Noah nodded, his eyes lingering onfor a moment longer before he got into his car. | watched as he drove
away, the tail lights disappearing into the growing darkness.
Back inside, | went through the motions of my nightly routine-feeding Melody, putting her to bed, taking a
shower.
But my thoughts kept circling back to one thing.
WhiteRabbit.
The hunch that Zoe had been behind the contraceptive pills had been nagging atfor weeks. Now, with
everything that had cto light about her manipulations, it seemed more plausible than ever.
But | needed to know for certain. | couldn't sleep until had answers.
Finally, unable to resist any longer, | pulled out my phone and sent a message to WhiteRabbit, hitting send
before I could think better of it: 7 know it was Zoe.”
The response calmost immediately, three bubbles and then: “Zoe who? The lady | saw on the news?” |
frowned, my fingers hovering over the keyboard. This wasn’t the reaction | had expected. “Yes, the woman from
the news,” | typed out somewhat angrily. “Noah’s ex. She was behind the pills, wasn’t she? She was your
supplier?”
There was a long pause before WhiteRabbit replied: “I don’t know anything about a Zoe. Someone else was
supplying the pills.”
My frown deepened. This didn’t make sense. If it wasn’t Zoe, then who? And why would they go to such engths
to keepfrom having Noah's child?
“Who, then?” | asked. “Who was supplying them?”

“I can’t discuss that over text,” cthe reply. “If you want answers, we need to meet in person. We can discuss
my price then, too...”
My heart rate picked up. Meeting WhiteRabbit in person was risky, but if it meant getting to the bottom of this
mystery, it might be worth it. Still, | hesitated.
“What is your price? Tellnow,”
“Just a small favor. | assure you, it's nothing you can’t handle, Alpha.”
| chewed my lip, weighing my options. The rational part of my brain was screaming atto drop it, to leave well
enough alone. But the Alpha in me, the part that needed to protect my daughter, my pack, wouldn't let go.
For all | knew, there was still someone out there who wanted to bring harm to my child. And | needed to ensure
that they, like Scott and Zoe, were behind bars as soon as possible.
“Alright. I'll meet you. When and where?”
