Chapter 62:
The threat of becoming a Rogue was a death sentence. I watched the exact moment their Inner Wolves cowered under the weight of my promise. The Warriors immediately backed away from Harvey, lowering their heads in submission.
Vincent’s jaw dropped. He was completely powerless.
Harvey scrambled forward, his hands shaking violently as he shoved a portable hard drive into my palm. I walked past Vincent and plugged the drive directly into the main terminal.
The screen flickered to life, pulling up the security feed from the eighth-floor corridor. The timestamp was from late the previous night. The high-definition footage showed Vincent standing in the shadows, handing a thick envelope of cash to a man wearing a hotel uniform — a waiter I had fired two weeks ago for theft. The man nodded and pushed a room service cart directly into the suite booked under Jase Davenport’s corporate account.

It was irrefutable. Jase was the mastermind, and my step-uncle was the traitor who had executed the strike against his own Pack.
Vincent’s scent instantly curdled into pure, suffocating terror. All the color drained from his face.
“What did Jase promise you?” I asked, not taking my eyes off the screen.
“Debt refinancing,” Vincent stammered, his Alpha facade shattering into a million pathetic pieces. “I was drowning, Adelina. Jase said if I helped him ruin your reputation, he would save me p>
I slowly turned to face him. The sheer disgust burning in my chest left no room for mercy.
“You have ten minutes to pack your office and get out of my building,” I ordered. “If I see your face after that, I won’t just hand this footage to the human detectives in the lobby. I will open a mind-link to Kain Blackwell and ask him to personally handle the man who tried to frame his Luna p>
The invocation of the Lycan King’s name was the final blow. Vincent let out a pathetic whimper, turned on his heel, and fled the server room like a hunted rat.
I let out a slow, steady breath as the adrenaline began to recede. I turned my attention to Harvey, who was leaning against the server rack, wiping sweat from his forehead.
“Thank you, Luna,” Harvey breathed, his scent thick with profound relief. “I knew you would protect p>
“You are still fired, Harvey,” I cut him off coldly.
His relief vanished, replaced by absolute despair. “But I gave you the proof p>
“You gave me proof to save your own skin. It doesn’t erase the fact that you embezzled Pack funds,” I stated. I let him sit in that terrifying abyss for three agonizing seconds before I pivoted. “However, I am currently in need of a new Executive Director of Operations — a position that reports solely to me p>
Harvey blinked, his mind struggling to catch up.
“You know where all the bodies are buried in this hotel,” I continued, stepping closer. “You know every ghost employee the Parrish family hired. You will root them out. You will be my eyes and ears, Harvey. Do we have an understanding p>
Tears of sheer gratitude welled in his eyes. His Inner Wolf, desperate for a strong leader, submitted instantly. “Yes, Luna. I swear it p>
