The Alpha's Slave Mate
Chapter 10

Chapter Ten

Theo's Point of View

lam very good at gathering information from people and computers. I became sort of aninvestigator after my mate passed away. My dear sweet Miranda, death took her way too soon frommy arms. Miranda had been involved ina car accident year before last. It was eastern Oregon inJanuary; roads were slick, and we eventually found her jeep flipped over in a ditch off the highway.Police initially tried to say that they believed that she had hit an animal, but I personally went to thescene and scented no other animal near her.

The front end of jeep was smashed in from where she had hit the ditch, but no one could explainwhy the back end of her jeep was smashed in. I also pointed out that there seemed to be a painttransfer, her jeep was white, the transfer paint was blue in color. I almost lost my mind arguing withthe police and the detectives because I needed to know what had happened to the love of my life. Igot nowhere with asking them for information. That is when I decided that I would start my owninvestigation. ©

I was not too smart when I first started, I asked people flat out if they knew anything. Slowly Ilearned the art of being more discreet. I buttered up to the receptionist, took her to dinner andstarted getting some answers. I then trained relentlessly during the night in the art of hacking. Ifinally was able to hack into personal email accounts of several officers that had been at the scene.From their emails I could tell they were hiding something, protecting someone. Digging deeper Ifinally found out that the police Chief's son drove a blue Ford Ranger pick up truck.

After learning all of that it was not hard for all of the other details to fall into place. The kid hadbeen driving drunk, he never even noticed my precious angel until he hit her. Her car spun severaltimes before flipping and going off the highway. He freaked out and drove away and never called911. My Miranda, my love died alone in the cold winter of Oregon.

Bringing myself back to the present I could fully understand why my Alpha was so interested in thisfemale. He has a natural curiosity, and he hates deception. Not to mention he was bound anddetermined to replace that young wolf from this morning. I am elated that he is fixated on her, and Iam hoping that she may be his mate.

At breakfast there had been a very talkative pretty little blonde woman that tried to flirt with Caleb.Of course, Caleb barely noticed her. She was young and it appeared that she lived in the manorhouse, sol am searching her out for answers about the mysterious girl. Perhaps if I turn on mycharm, she will tell me everything I want to know. I spot her in the manor house television room,talking to two young girls that appear to be about her age. After staring at her a few times andflashing my smile she easily dismisses the girls and saunters over to me.

"Hi, i am Heather. You are Alpha Caleb's Beta, right?” She is twirling her long blonde hair as shestarts talking to me. “Yes lam.”

“He is so dreamy. What is he like at home? Oh, what is his favorite color?” She is rattling offquestions and not even waiting for answers.

“He is calm, and quiet. He does not like loud noises, and truthfully, I do not know what his favoritecolor is. Tam interested in learning about you though.” I flashed her a side smile, letting her thinkthat I am interested in more than information gathering. '

"Oh, well lam the Beta's daughter, I have lived her my whole life and lam unmated at the moment. Ithink that Alpha Caleb may be my mate thoughl am sorry.” Her eyes divert to her feet, little doesshe realize that lam simply opening her up from my questioning. ° “That's a shame, you arebeautiful Heather. I am sure that Caleb will be excited to see you tonight at the ball.” I watched herbeam with my words, as her head whips up. “Perhaps you can help me possibly replace my mate then. Iseen a girl earlier, brown hair, long legs, slightly shorter than you. I could not catch her face thoughbecause she was hurrying from the meeting hall back to the manor house and she used the backdoor. lam simply curious because I did not see her at breakfast, and I would like to meet her.” I knewI was laying it on a little thick, but I was hoping Heather would help me out. *

"Oh, that thing cannot be your mate. I can not believe that the Alpha even let her live.” lam shockedby Heather's words and literally stop in my tracks. “What did she do that the Alpha would want totake her life?”

Heather looked around trying to make sure that no one was around to hear me. She still seemednervous and looped her arm through mine. “I really shouldn't be telling you this, but I couldn't bearit if Alpha Caleb was embarrassed by his Beta asking about her. The girl your asking about her nameis Daphne. She is biologically the Alpha’s and Luna's youngest daughter. The Luna was pregnantwith twins, and Daphne was so freaking fat that she killed her twin brother in the womb. The Alphamade her a slave to the pack. You wouldn't want her anyways, I have her that she opens her legs forany man that will have her.” :

My skin crawled where her arm was wrapped through mine. This woman just explained to me thatthe Alpha of the Silver Moon pack had condemned his daughter to a life of servitude, because hismale heir did not survive childbirth. My stomach was revolting at this information and I needed toreplace a quick escape. Lucky for me at that moment I could hear the other two packs arriving.

“Excuse me Heather, I must be beside my Alpha when meeting the other packs.” I untangled my armfrom hers, and practically ran from the room. Now that I had more information, I needed to informCaleb of everything I had learned.
