BOOK 2 CHAPTER 26
Rowan’s POV
That afternoon, I was in my office when I heard a slight knock on my door. Whoever it was must have received permission from the warriors at the reception. I thought it might have been Mika or Gideon, but as the knock resounded the second. time, I realized it wouldn’t be either of those two.
They were too rude to knock twice. They would’ve barged in without bothering to wait for my instructions.
“Come in,” I ordered. I turned back to the laptop in front of me. I was busy going through some of the pack’s monthly updates to see what could be improved. We were increasing in number and there was a dire need to increase the importation of some products.
I was getting closer to a conclusion. A distraction wasn’t something I needed at that moment. I hoped whoever it was would make it quick and get the hell out of my office.
Although the door opened like ten seconds ago, I didn’t lift up my eyes until I was done with my current page.
“What do you want?” I asked the familiar face. I was sure I’d seen her several times in the pack.
I’m Ella, Harriette’s sister,” she answered.
At the mention of Harriette’s name, I lifted my head to look at her. Even though she and Harriette shared a few similarities nothing about them made them look like sisters. They were like two different people trained to look like they were the same
person.
“And?” I replied nonchalantly. I shouldn’t act interested in whoever she was just because she mentioned Harriette’s name.
“Alpha Rowan, I’m here to make you an offer, can I sit?”
I chucked. I wish I had a microscope to check where she got that audacity from. “Keep standing. Tell me, what offer is this?”
She stared at me. I raised an eyebrow and she looked away.
“Harriette is planning to escape the pack tonight, she revealed.
Even though my facial expression didn’t change, I twisted my palm into a tight fist underneath the table.
I should’ve known something like this would happen after I asked her to come clean about who she was.
“She told me that you found out we lied about our pack and she’s planning on leaving,” she explained further.
“She? Or both of you?” I asked her.
“Both of us but I don’t want us to leave, Alpha Rowan,”
She confessed.
I raised an eyebrow. “How does this concern me?”
“Harriette is a good asset to your pack and so am I. I believe it’ll be a terrible mistake if you allow us to leave. I really like it here. I can’t leave and go back to the hellhole we came from,”
She cried.

As I looked at her, there was not a bit of honesty in her. I shouldn’t be surprised anyway, she was Harriette’s ‘supposed sister. Lying was one more thing they shared in common.
I smirked. “Where do I come in with all of these?” I asked her.
“Stop us from escaping, she declared What? Did I hear her right? or was I mistaken?
“Why would I do that? My warriors would be glad to watch you both fry to death as you try to get across the barbed wires.
I answered.
“She knows an escape route. Two escape routes in fact,”
I frowned. How the fuck did Harriette know that? There were indeed two escape routes in the pack but yesterday evening. I hired some workmen who fixed it and connected the barbed wires.
If they tried to escape through those routes, Harriette would really be electrocuted to death.
“I’m more interested in the hellhole you came from. If you tell me about it, I’ll think about stopping you from escaping or not,” I bargained.
If y
fyou stop us from escaping, I’ll be at your mercy forever and I’ll tell you everything about where I came from,” she answered back.
She was a good negotiator and she wasn’t wrong,
How will this benefit you? Snitching on your sister like this?”
“It’ll help keep her on track and save both of our heads,”
She answered. Even though I didn’t understand her answer, I didn’t push it further.
“What time are you planning to escape?” I asked her one last question.
“Midnight,” she answered.
Her willingness to snitch on her sister without remorse was suspicious. In fact, it made her more suspicious than Harriette.
“Remember this later tonight, you stole from me and that is the reason why you’re running. Harriette doesn’t know you stole this and she wanted to leave because you begged her to,” she stared at me in confusion before it became clear to her.
I brought out a red diamond and gave it to her.
“Thank you,”
She said gently, her eyes filled with tears. From her body language, it was obvious that she was appreciative.
“You can leave my office now,”
I commanded. As she walked out of the room, I smirked.
Harriette was really planning on escaping because the option of coming clean seemed too far–fetched for her. That meant whatever she was trying to hide was crazy.
I took out my phone and stared at the picture of her knife again. I placed my hand underneath my chin and kept staring. Something about that knife was nerve–wracking,
Once it was close to ten at night, Mika walked into my office.
