The sight that I see as we head to my office causes a small amount of guilt to weigh fairly heavily on my heart. Tony is walking with Rosie right by his side as several guards surround them and, while it looks like they are protecting them, sadly, that’s not the case. Sadly, they are guarding Rosie while protecting everyone else, because as much as Rosie is Tony’s mate until we know everything and can be confident that she is no threat to us, then we have 

to be careful. 

We would always be careful in this kind of situation, but given recent events, we are on more of a high alert, and while it may seem unfair for her to be treated like this when she is more than likely innocent, the reality is that she could be a part of everything else that has been going on, and I can’t take that risk and it sucks. 

Tony is my best friend and I want to be nothing but supportive and welcome his mate with open arms, but I can’t, not yet anyway. There is too much at stake, too much that could be happening right under our noses and until everything is cleared up, I have to keep her at arm’s length even if I don’t like it. 

As soon as we reach my office, I tell the guards to wait outside while Bonnie, Tony, Rosie, Shane, Will, Robbie and myself enter my office. I know this is the last place that Robbie wants to be right now, but this situation has now become Alpha business, which means it includes my top men, including my Beta, Gamma, and Top Warrior, so unfortunately for Robbie, he has to be here. 

“Everyone take a seat.” I take a seat in my office chair before I pull my mate onto my lap, not missing the fact that she didn’t tense up this time, while Tony sits next to Rosie and my brothers all drag chairs across the room so they can gather at my desk. While they get comfy, I find myself watching Rosie, she’s looking down at her lap where she’s playing with her hands, but she doesn’t strike me as acting in any way unusual. Yes, she looks nervous, but if I was in her position I would be feeling the same. 

“Rosie, I’m sorry that you had to be escorted by my guards to my office, but until I am clear on a few things I have to take all the precautions that I can.” Her head shoots up, and she looks straight at me before giving me a small smile and nods, showing me she understands. “That being said while I do not know you on a personal level, you are my best friend’s mate and that will make you family so how about we get this chat over with so that we can focus on the future? And, of course, I hope that there will be no hard feelings.” 

“Alpha, Nicholas, I completely understand why you are doing this, and I’m also glad that you are. I’m glad that you are looking out for your pack and your best friend like you are. I’m not offended by what you are doing and I’m more than happy to answer any questions that you have. And of course, there won’t be any hard feelings from me, I swear.” Her answer makes me want to smile and I don’t sense any lies coming from her, so either she is being completely honest or she is that good at playing games. Oh well, I guess we are about to find out either way. 

‘So let’s start with the basic questions like how are you even alive? I don’t want to drag up any painful memories, but I assume you can understand our confusion. The night of the attack, we checked the entire land and beyond for an entire day before we left and there were no survivors.” She straightens out her shoulders and looks me dead in the eye, unknowingly earning herself a little more of my respect. Most wolves cower away from an Alpha’s stare even if they are innocent. It’s just how it goes. But not Rosie. She is looking me dead in the eyes and I like it.
