Chapter 63 “Darling!” Lilianna cup and sweptup in her arms. “OH!” she looked down at my belly “I hope you're not trying to hide that because | can smell it on you,” | flushed “Only for a little a while,” “| think it's the best thing I'm here you need someone you can trust,” She huffed and brought her bags into the house.

“How has he been?” She askedas she settled into one of the many vacant bedrooms that seemed to be filling up more and more by the day.

“He turned after seeing sof information they had on me, and it confirmed that theres a mole,” She stopped. “He'll string them up when he finds them,” “Yes,” | nodded.

“My husband may be stupid but at least he doesn’t have a temper like yours,” She huffed sitting down on the bed.. “He'll be worse since you're pregnant, but | won't lie this might be exactly what we need he'll be cutthroat,” “Who here worries you?” She asked me.

“All of the people he’s assuming | have a hard tbelieving. There's one obvious but | feel as if it's a trap almost,” 1 told her.

“Who?” She askedlike she already knew the answer.

“Jessica she was a wom- “She was a woman Grayson was tempted to wed before he heard of you. He wanted her for her dedication in the clinic but she was playing him. He dodged a real bullet she’s been a whiny b*tch since, Lilianna crossed her arms.

“But you are right,” she sighed it’s blatantly obvious.

“And she couldn't have access to the things they had,” “Hmmm,” she hummed. “Who's she been spending her twith?“? | went blank. | had no clue and sof the members of Graysons council were not bound to a female wolf. Matt and Leon both had no one and could have becloose I*pped with a girl they wanted to protect.

“They're men they want to protect a girl and vicious females use that to their advantage my advice don’t count her out,” she agreed with my thoughts.

“How's Steven?” | shifted the topic. | was surprised she had chere so quickly.

“Surprisingly active. He's been training and fortifying our defenses. He's planted a good amount of land mines around our lands. He's askedto call him once a day to know I'm alright,” she almost scoffed. “Apparently even an idiot has 1/5 Chapter 63 ssense, “Well we all have our days,” | shrugged.

Lilianna had not only takenunder her wing but she disregarded Graysons wall sneakingpast his borders and helped us grow “You need to go and spread sof those little lies and find this rat,” she toldand she stood and continued to unpack.

| headed out to drop the seeds of false intent with our suspects.

| spotted Matt and Arron go into the training house. | wanted them separate so | turned to look for Elizabeth, She as my guard ended up finding me.

“Luna please call forwhen you want to leave your house it’s my job to watch oveET she scolded me.

“I'm still getting used to it Elizabeth I'm sorry | didn’t call for you,” | smiled at her to placate her a second.

| headed to the field to continue harvest. Tomatoes were abundant and | was not without work despite my secret agenda.

We talked about the harvest, the supplies for winter, the animals, the trade, eventually making our way to the topic of the war.

| waited for her to broach squestion or other about it thinking up a fib to tell her.

“How far do you think their alpha will go?” She looked almost scared.

It throughoff my plan. | hadn't seen her like this ever.

“I don’t know,” | responded.

“I worry for you and the alpha, he is becoming a beast and you need him not his wolf. Especially now,” she hinted at what we'd left unsaid.

| felt like a monster for questioning her loyalty. She has been true to Grayson this entire time. Yes she judgedwhen | first got here but she was following his lead like any wolf would do. Was | going to do the sjust because | was scared? “You said you'd tell me,” she whispered in the faintest voice.

My mind turned back.

“The alpha will not givea baby until the war is over,” | told her.

She nodded once in shock. “Sounds like something he would do. It makes sense to be safe during this time. Do not tude from him though he’s protecting you” she told me.

Chapter 63 1 had been spending a lot of nights “working”. Only because | was museous in terms of eating pork.

“You're right,” | looked down. “I just wish things were so different that waarit allie in any way.

“H she isn’t the mole she will never blyou kept my smile off of my face so | could continue this plan.

“Mama how are won lowered my voice hardly enough.

“Tm alegen?”” My mother questioned my false tone.

Lilianna let out her musical laugh. “Exactly if she is the mole she will not hesitate to whisper it on,” “Alright,” | nodded.

“She would never have believed it from you anyways anything you'd said she hates you,” She said that as if it was at compliment.

“Well that’s nice thank you,” | gave her a small glare.

“You need to be selfish Annette, you need to be territorial. You have Grayson that much anyone with eyes can see but that doesn’t mean people won't try and cfor the two of you.
