Alaric's POV
Aylon Auburn?
The Pack BloodyMoon Beta?
Why would Cara be carrying in lier purse a document addressed to Aylon Auburn?
It doesn't make any sense... Unless...
After the news report that announced Aylon Auburn as the new Beta of Pack BloodyMoon, I had asked my Beta John to find out as much as he could about the man. Family history, work history, anything that might help me understand more about this mysterious Beta. Unfortunately, John wasn't able to learn much information. Standing here in front of Cara, looking down at Aylon's name, I remember my conversation with John from a few days ago.
"It's the strangest thing..." John had said to me, "There's not a single photo of Aylon Auburn. No one outside of BloodyMoon knows what he looks like."
"How can that be?" John's words had me feeling so confused. They had announced his appointment to Beta on the evening news on television for the Goddess's sake, how could no one have a photograph of this Aylon?
Why was there so much secrecy around this Beta?
"I don't know. But my sources tell me that this Beta is very popular within their pack. He's performing extremely well from what I hear. The Pack Bloody Moon nobles and commoners alike are pleased with his efforts," John said to me carefully.
A good Beta is worth his weight in gold. And I know well that pleasing both the high borns and low borns is a difficult, even sometimes impossible, task. Though I really don't want to, I've got to give this Aylon Auburn at least some amount of respect for that. "What else did you find out about him?" I had asked my Beta.
"He has two children. Unfortunately, that's all know. I can keep looking for more details, but I'm not optimistic about this one, sir. It seems like the entire pack has this Beta hidden very, very well," John said.
The lack of information about the new Beta had troubled me greatly. It had been bothering me, chipping away a small hole of frustration within me, ever since John and I had had that discussion a few days ago.
Now, standing in the hospital with Cara, it's all coming back to me. Aylon has two children...
Cara has a document addressed to Aylon in her purse...

+25 BONUS
Cara has two children... and a husband that is so busy he can't be bothered to attend to his own daughter in the hospital... Could it be...
Aylon Auburn is Cara's husband!
Of course, that's it!
He must've taken her family name when they got married to add a sense of authority and authenticity to his claim for Beta status. And once Eamon's Beta retired, the job was open for the taking. A calculated man, this Aylon Auburn. Smart, and cunning too, I'd wager.
He's using Cara for his royal status, no doubt. There are always those people who try to take advantage of it.
"You are very invested in Cara's personal life," my wolf Grey says to me internally. He says it matter-of-factly, but I can feel the weight of his judgment.

"I am. So what? She was a very strong co-worker, and she's a good person. Of course, want to see her happy and taken care of. What could be wrong with that?" I fire back inside my mind.
You certain that's all it is?" Grey asks me
"Are you
"Yes, I'm certain! You're always making something out of nothing. I don't want to see Cara get hurt. She's hurt enough already... and some of that was my doing. This is my way of repaying her for our past," I say. I hear Grey's laughter inside my mind, trailing off to leave me in silence, staring at Cara in front of me.
