Chapter 11

“Are you out of your mind, Adriana?”

“How can you just ignore the information?” I demanded.

“Because it was a set up!” Joaquín snarled at me, barely restraining himself from vaulting over the table.

“Joa,” hissed Rora. “Let her speak. We need to know what she heard, and we can evaluate the validity after we have all the information.”

“The validity?” Anton roared and I had visions of he and Joaquín brawling in the conference room.

Needless to say, the debrief was not going well. After recounting my captivity and subsequent escape, I hadn’t even been given the opportunity to weigh in on what we should actually with the information I overheard. Joaquín was, apparently, under the impression that my interest in discussing the potential value of the info regarding the drop meant that I was subscribing to the idea that my Snake captors did, in fact, have souls. And enemies with souls was aberrant enough that my sanity had been called into question. Asshole.

“You’re delusional if you think this whole thing was not a set up. They took her, they planted false information, they wait to see if we’re stupid enough to walk into an ambush.” Joaquín slammed his fist on the conference room table and simply refused to hear another word on the subject.

I might be ‘delusional’, but I wasn’t so confused as to think we’d get any further in this discussion with the obstinate dictator of an alpha, today.

Arc—Joaquín’s chief general—stepped in before the two alphas could start throwing punches. “We need to operate under the assumption that the information is no longer viable. If it was, your escape,” he jerked his head toward me, “alerted them to the possibility that their info was compromised.”

I sat back in my chair, arms crossed over my chest. Joaquín had barely even given me a chance to speak before he started accusing me of holding sympathies for our enemy. If this weapons drop was legit, if the snakes had let the information slip to help us, we could take out a huge resource for the violence Dariel was planning to rain down on the packs. We could save lives. We could give our side a fighting chance against an enemy who was bigger, stronger, and more well organized than ourselves.

Arc spent the next hour reviewing our defensive policies, information at risk of being scraped from our lost comms and setting up four functioning teams which would be handling missions going forward. Arc knew what he was doing. The man was one of the most experienced generals on the continent. Even on my best day I was happy to defer strategy to his competent hands. Today, I just wanted this meeting to be over.

The thought refused to let go of me. The Snakes who had captured me were angry. They were hurting at the loss of their own soldiers and they were holding Dariel responsible for that loss. How did I know that? Add that to the list of spastic shit that I just couldn’t explain.
