"Adira, do you understand the implications of avoiding my calls?" An angry voice met Adira's ears when she answered the phone.
She took deep breaths before responding, "I'm sorry, but the timing wasn't right."
"Is it now?"
Adira looked around carefully. There was no one around, so she relaxed and spoke, "No. I had to excuse myself from training. It would be best if you don't call for a while, Alpha Conrad."
"But you haven't given me any information."
"There is nothing going on," Adira responded when the next question followed.
"I heard that Alessia took your place."
Remembering the pain in Alpha Denzel's eyes, Adira felt guilty. She couldn't imagine another tragedy befalling him. Also, that man trusted her with so many things.
"It was my mistake. I killed Stan so he wouldn't tell on you. It made Alpha Denzel suspicious."
