The Alpha's Favour

LV

My palms were sweaty, my heart was racing, my mind was in overdrive.

I looked around at all the guards standing outside the station.

There were all here for me and I knew it.

But it just didn't make sense. I hadn't even done anything wrong.

Neither had Roman.

This must have been a huge misunderstanding.

They weren't letting me see Uncle Victor. But I could hear him outside arguing with literally everyone and anyone who had played a role in taking me out of our home and basically dragging me here.

I wiped my hands on my jeans for the fifth time since I had entered the office.

I kept looking at the door. Waiting.

Ro would walk in any minute now.

They would see that this had all been some huge misunderstanding. He hadn't stolen anything like they had said.

Those files they spoke of must have just been misplaced.

Everything was okay.

Roman wasn't a traitor.

He wasn't a spy.

He wasn't any of the things these people had been calling him.

It was all so ridiculous. I think I would have noticed if I was dating a spy!

The door swung open and I sighed in relief when I saw my uncle walk in, Captain Park behind him.

I rose and embraced Uncle Victor.

"What's going on?" I asked, my voice shakey.

Everyone here was treating me like I had killed someone or committed some atrocious crime.

"Everything will be okay, baby." He spoke, whispering into my ear.

He then pulled away and his eyes focused on Captain Park who had walked around and was standing behind her desk now.

"I can't believe you're treating a kid this way."

"Crystal will be a legal adult soon, Mr Benson. And if you think the Silvercrest pack takes matters of treason lightly, you're greatly mistaken."

Uncle Victor narrowed his eyes at Captain Park.

"I didn't commit treason." I sputtered out.

Captain Park zeroed in on me as if just remembering I was there.

"Then you won't mind answering a few questions."

I looked at Uncle Victor.

"I didn't do anything wrong." I spoke. If they wanted me to answer a few questions, I could do that.

"I know but..." he looked at Captain Park. "I need someone here to defend you. So that they don't use your words against you."

"Roman didn't do anything either." I spoke up. "He could have."

Uncle Victor frowned, putting an arm on my shoulder.

"Defending Mr Desiree isn't doing you any favours Miss Swan." Captain Park spoke.
