I am sorry in advance for any glass cases of emotions I put you through in this chapter. Also, this is the second to last chapter...
I wasn't going to upload this chapter until I got to the fifth chapter of the second book(yes there is going to be one) but thought, hey, might as well~~
Chapter Eighteen
Voodoo Doll
RYDER POV
"Every single person on the list checked out to be safe, which mean we're back to square one." Tyler sighed, throwing the a stack of papers stapled together down on the floor. We had been up for two nights in a row, going over every members profile and going over possible places where Delta could have taken Scarlet and Nikolai. I knew I needed to sleep, but I refused to close my eyes, knowing that my wife and child was somewhere dangerous, having god knows what done to them.
"So then we're either over looking someone, or some one is just really good at hiding." I muttered, running a hand through my hair.
This was beyond frustrating.
"Maybe its someone closer to us" Tyler drawled. I gave him a deadpanned stare.
"Tyler, be serious here."
"I am! Look, we didn't check out anyone who is on the Council. So, what if it was one of them? I mean, it adds up right? They are the only ones who had any clue about Terry and I can bet you dollars to donuts that someone on the council has it out for you." Everything he was saying did make sense, but the thought of someone so close to me doing something like this? I didn't want to think about it.
But I had to.
"So we've got you, Asher, Fennie, Dorian, Cane, Johnathan and Bernard."
"And I can tell you right now that I have nothing to do with this." Tyler quickly added.
"I know Tyler." I chuckled. "Fennie is too absent-minded to ever pay attention to any deals being made, Cane has been staying with Anna-Caroline for the past three weeks, Bernard has been too busy dealing with the packs finances.."
"Which leaves Johnathan, Dorian and Fennie."
"As much as I hate Johnathan, I do know he is very loyal and would never betray his pack. Plus Fennie and Dorian are on sick leave because of their injuries." Tyler narrowed his eyes as I finished talking and I looked at him confused.
"Dorian's injuries weren't that bad. He should have been healed up within two days of him returning." I took a deep breath. Dorian? What would Dorian gain by selling out Terry and allowing Bloodmoon to take my mate and child? Unless..
"Unless it wasn't Dorian who did it." Tyler and I said in sync.
"Something doesn't seem right about this situation." Tyler said, standing up and taking a stack of papers with him. I followed his actions, taking the second pile and walking over to put them in their box.
"It doesn't. Why don't we go pay Dorian and Becca a little visit."We were about to head out, when Tyler's phone started to go off.
"Hold that thought." He smirked, pulling out his phone. "Hello? Luna, seriously? I'm kind of busy right now. Well yeah, when it has to do with the traitor. What? Fucking kidding me? Okay, we'll be there soon." He hung up the phone and looked at me.
"Bloodmoon has sent another message." I took no time in evaluating anything, before I was out the door and headed to Tyler and Luna's house. Luna opened the door right as I put one foot on the porch step.
