Someone knocked at the door. I was expecting it to be Ken again, but a different voice rang from the other side of the door - Mason’s.

“Can I come in?” he asked.

I really wasn’t in the mood to see anyone - except maybe Ken - but it wasn’t like I could say no. My body was hot and feverish and I could barely move. It was too much effort to tell him to go away.

“Yeah,” I croaked.

Mason came inside. “Hey.” He came and strode over until he was sitting on the floor, looking at me. He almost looked like he wanted something from me, but I didn’t know what it was.

“So, uh, Ken was talking to us,” Mason began. “He was feeling crappy because he doesn’t know what to do about your heat.”

My whole body felt like it was on fire. I didn’t know why Mason was talking to me, nevermind trying to get an intelligent response out of me.

“That’s a whole ‘nother issue. But there’s something else I wanted to talk to you about.” Mason looked at me seriously, and the atmosphere shifted. For the first time since arriving in Indigo Mountain pack, I felt uneasy. Like I didn’t quite belong.

“The other day, when you ran out of the building, you kept asking me who the top alpha of this pack was and where he was,” Mason continued, holding my stare. “Why?”

I felt horribly trapped. My body wouldn’t move, and a growing aching need was forming in the lower half of my body.

“Wesley,” Mason said, “Answer me, please.”

“Why do you care?” I snapped.

Taken a bit aback, he replied, “Because, to be completely honest, I don’t know if I can trust you. If any of us can trust you.”

My blood ran cold. This was the absolute worst scenario. I was vulnerable and incapacitated, barely able to move, and Mason was so close to figuring out who I was. He was already suspicious of me. I had to clear my name, fast, before he told anyone else about his suspicions - but I could barely think. How was I supposed to do this?

“Why?” I asked, my voice hoarse.

“Because you don’t seem interested in living here. Because you ran out in a hurry, begging me to tell you where the top alpha is, without even knowing that there isn’t one here.” He narrowed his eyes. “Because you’re playing with Ken’s emotions.”

“What?” I snapped. “That’s not true!”

“He thinks you hate him,” Mason growled. “Or at least that you’re upset with him. And that’s not all. We had another traitor in our midst not too long ago…” He shook his head, looking visibly upset. “I won’t let that same thing happen again.”

“I’m not a traitor,” I growled.

“Then prove it.”

I didn't say anything. I couldn’t prove it.

“Tell me one good reason I shouldn’t tell Ken about my suspicions,” Mason said.

“I like Ken,” I snapped. “Okay? I have feelings for him, ones he didn’t seem too damn interested in reciprocating. And now he barely talks to me because of this stupid heat.
