who everyone is and what has been said before I got here. I hate it when I’m the only one in the group who doesn’t know what is going on. I hope you don’t think I’m rude for saying that?” Sage took in a deep breath when she finished.
“Okay, so after the meeting, make sure you sit Brody down and get him to start from day one…and that is when Ryder and London met. Then, go with Kayden and Zoey, then on to another Alpha, until you reach your story.” MJ stated flatly, almost as if she was already bored with the conversation.
“Oh…okay.” She dropped her head and stared down at the table. She didn’t want to say anything else, afraid to look more like a fool than she already did. Brody picked up her hand under the table and gave it a squeeze. She could tell he wanted to say something to MJ, but before he could open his mouth, she shook her head at him. No one said anything as the room fell silent again. Sage promised herself that from then on, she wouldn’t ask any more questions. When she glanced up, London was giving MJ the death stare and she sure as hell didn’t want to get anything started.

“ Y ou said there was other news you had…about the traitors,” Bast commented, drawing everyone’s attention back.
This time he was the one in the spotlight. Brody stood up and walked over to the TV and turned it on, and then used the remote control. Displayed on the screen was the crowd of shifters who were watching when Sage’s mother was nailed to the sign. “Lex found some interesting expressions from some unlikely people in the crowd. One is Regina Martin, who as you all know was fired from the theater three years ago.” The Alphas all groaned when Regina’s picture popped up. “I agree one hundred percent, but look at her expression before she notices the camera is pointed at her.” There she was, smiling like she had just won the lottery. They could all hear Sage crying in the background.
“That bitch is dead,” Nolan growled.
“We need her first, Nolan. I know you are mad, as we all are, but we have to see if we can use these people and get the information we need,” Brody said. “Now look at the Carlson twins.” And just like Regina, the Carlson Twins, June and Beatrice Carlson, also had smirks on their faces. Unfortunately, those two shifters were part of his community, and Brody didn’t have a clue why they were doing this. They had always been good kids. “These two just don’t make sense to me. They have a great clothes shop downtown and they do very well for themselves. I can’t give you a reason why they would want to hurt us. They have always been helpful to everyone.”
“Look at them again.” Me-Len pointed at the screen.
If she hadn’t pointed at the screen, he would have missed it. Brody slowed the picture down and noticed the two girls looked like they were drugged. Then, as if they were zapped by a Taser, June and Beatrice snapped to attention and stared off into space. “They are under a witch’s spell. They’ve been bewitched by Claudia.”
“I’ve never seen anything like that,” London said. “They look almost drugged out now.”
“That means they haven’t been under the spell too long, and maybe if we can get to them I can reverse it…and unfortunately put them under another spell. One that can help us.” Me-Len sighed when she glanced up at him. “I know they are your people, Brody, but if we can get the information Claudia is giving them and find out what she’s asking them to do for her, maybe we can plant some information and pull on those puppet strings. This time lady luck will be in our favor.”
Brody glanced down at the floor. Using them, if they were traitors, was one thing, but they weren’t doing this of their own free will. What if something happened to them?
“Brody?” Ryder said, jarring him from his thoughts.
Brody looked up at everyone at the table and noticed the concern on their faces. “What if it backfires on us
