Chapter 811-820

Chapter 811: The heat is over (3)

Damon, Talia, Maya, and Caden were not sure what outcome regarding Stephanie they should hope for. If Stephanie was aware she was giving information to rogues, that would be treason. But if Stephanie didn’t know that Lisa was mated to a rogue, she would be devastated that Lisa used her.

Or maybe they were completely wrong, and the information leak didn’t come from Stephanie at all, but from somewhere else. 0 However, everything pointed in that direction. Out of a few people who knew about Talia accompanying Damon to the Blue River pack, Zina didn’t have contacts outside of the Dark Howlers pack, except for Dawn. There were Rose, Cornelia, Maya, Caden, and Travis, but none of them were close to Lisa, so it was normal to label Stephanie as a suspect.° In the Midnight Guardians pack, Axel, Yasmin, Meg, Kai, Tyler, and Sandy also knew, but the chances of them sharing that with rogues were close to nil. Not because they were more trustworthy, but because they were isolated in their realm, and only a few had the ability to communicate with the human realm.

“Does Zina feel bad?” Talia asked Maya. Maya confirmed. While Talia and Damon were enjoying their solitude, Maya asked Zina and Rose if Stephanie had stopped by, and the two said she did. Every few days, Stephanie would come with Richard, who loved spending time in the packhouse garden. Stephanie used that time to catch up with the girls. Of course, they talked about anything and everything, Damon and Tana included. Zina didn’t remember exactly saying that Talia went with Damon to Tatiana’s Luna ceremony, but it wouldn’t be unusual if she said it. Dawn and Zina worked under Stephanie for years, she was their superior, and they trusted her. How was Zina supposed to know that Lisa was mated to a rogue and that their friendly chatter would end up hurting others? “Zina feels horrible,” Maya said. “I told her we are just investigating, and nothing is confirmed. However, Zina knows that if it’s true, it means that Zina was indirectly responsible far the rogues’ attack and Lulu’s death.” And it was not just Lulu. Many others perished, Marcy included. No one liked Marcy, but they didn’t wish her to die.

Talia’s mood dropped. How can that be Zina’s fault when it was obviously Talia’s? Talia was the target, and Lulu died while protecting her. 0 “I will talk to Zina,” Talia said. Maybe they could have a joint crying session to relieve some grief. Damon sensed that Talia’s emotions were fluctuating, and he wanted to change the topic “Do we have information from the Red Moon pack?” Caden responded. “James is keeping an eye on Alpha Edward and Cornelia is providing daily updates. James also suspects that his father was working with rogues, but he has no proof. And while we are on the topic of Camelia…” Caden got a folder he had prepared previously and put it on the desk for Damon and Talia to see. “Her tracking spell on the Guardian you found in the Midnight Guardians pack is steady.” Damon quickly opened the folder and saw a printed map with an X on it, and there were coordinates.

“How long is he there?” Talia asked. “Cornelia and Amelia are checking it at least twice a day. He didn’t move from there for about eight days.” 0 “Do we know what’s there?” Damon asked Caden. “Forest. There are no cities for miles.”

“How far is this from here?” Talia asked. She was unfamiliar with the maps and states.
