Chapter 409
Third Person POV
Alpha Levi was sitting at his desk when his phone rang. He didn’t need to look at the caller ID to see who it was that was calling. He grabbed the phone and pressed the “talk” button, pressing it to his ear.
“I better have good news,” he said, his tone harsher than intended.
“I don’t feel good about this…” the voice on the other end said. “What if I screw up? What if I give myself away?”
“You won’t,” Levi said, his tone turning even more sour. “Because if you do, I’ll send someone in to complete this job and you won’t like your punishment if I have to do that.”
There was silence on the other end for a long while.
“I’ll keep you updated on my progress. But it might take a while…”
“I expect a report by the end of the week. Don’t disappoint me,” Levi growled and without another word, he ended the call, slamming his phone on his desk, nearly breaking it. It wouldn’t be the first time he broke a phone; his Beta Ron would have to get him a new one periodically.
Levi stared at the information gathered about Gavin’s company information; his company is the largest franchise in the world and something Levi had been wanting for a long time. Though the company is large, it has its weak points and his relationship with Judy seems to be one of them.
He realized that she’s a strong part of his life… crumbling their relationship, might crumble Gavin which will make it easier to get a hold of his company. His children are also a factor as well; so far, Levi discovered that Mathew Landry is not Gavin’s biological son, but his nephew.
He pressed the intercom on his desk.
“Ron, have Ethan Cash come to my office immediately,” he ordered his Beta.
Within minutes, Ethan was walking into his office looking nervous. Levi fed off the nerves of others; it pleased him that he intimidated those around him. He leaned back in his seat, assessing Ethan as he closed the door behind him.
“You wanted to see me, Alpha?” Ethan asked, his eyes fixed on the ground, unable to look Levi in the eyes. It wasn’t unusual; Lycans were often difficult to look at because of their powerful aura.
“Yes, I have a task for you,” Levi told him, staring at him for a moment longer before leaning forward on his desk. “I need you to return to the Silver Crescent pack.”
Ethan’s eyes grew wide.
“What?” He asked. “Gavin is looking for me right now; he’ll kill me if he sees me.”
“You will be protected by my spies,” Levi assured him. “I found out that Gavin’s son isn’t his actual son.”
“Matthew?”
Levi nodded.
“He’s Gavin’s nephew. Matthew’s mother is Gavin’s sister,” Levi explained.
Ethan looked dlost in thought about that realization; Irene had never mentioned that. She always referred to Matt as her little brother, never her cousin. Ethan wasn’t entirely sure what to do with that information, but he knew it had to be important if Levi was bringing it up to him like this.
“I need you to find out what you can about her,” he said firmly. “Her name is Cassandra Landry, but that’s all we were able to retrieve about her. Everything else had been hidden by the Landry Corporation.”
“How am I supposed to find out information about this woman?” Ethan asked. “I don’t have any connections with the Landry’s anymore.
“Figure it out,” Levi said without hesitation. “Then report to me any findings. I’ll give you two weeks but then you better have something.”
Ethan stood; his stomach knotted. He knew if he didn’t do what Levi asked, then he could make his life a living hell. So, he nodded.
“I’ll get on that right away,” Ethan said, bowing his head before retreating from the
room.

Judy’s POV
“You totally kicked ass in that competition,” one of my classmates said as she walked by my table in the student lounge.
“Yeah, we were rooting for you,” her friend said in response. “You were totally awesome. I couldn’t believe I actually knew you.”
I glanced at Nan, and she gave me an identical look, both of us knowing that these girls wouldn’t be talking to me if I hadn’t won the competition. They didn’t like either of us in the 4 years we’ve been at this school. Now that we are preparing to graduate in a few months, suddenly I’m important to them.
“Thanks,” was all I managed to say.
It’s been like this all day. Today was the first day back at school since the start of my last semester. This semester was crucial for my degree, and I was excited to finally finish up with school and get a start on my life. I know technically I don’t have to finish school; winning the competition means I was part of the Elite Gamma Force, but I really wanted to prove myself in more ways than muscles and speed. I wanted to prove my brain too.
If things didn’t work out as a gamma, at least I still have my degree and a little bit
of courage to move forward.
“Graduation cannot come soon enough,” Nan murmured as she assessed the girls walking away.
I chuckled at her statement, completely agreeing with her.
