NovelStartChapter 230 Xena's POV "DAD! Ryder roared as he burst through the office door.
I was shocked to see my father sitting in the office. "Dad?" I asked, confusion evident in my voice. "Xena." Dad stood up and gavea hug. His face was flushed red with anger, and I knew they had been arguing. The tension in the air was suffocating.
"This is a private meeting, Ryder," Alpha Benedict said firmly.
"No. I'm done with you excluding me. I'm done watching you continue making questionable decisions for this pack and my mate. I don't know what you're involved in, but this ends now." Ryder slammed his fist down on Alpha Benedict's desk.
The thunderous sound made my heart race, adrenaline beginning to surge. I could feel the anger and protectiveness radiating from Ryder, which both moved and worried me.
"What is he talking about?" Dad releasedand walked over to face Ryder and Alpha Benedict. This formed a triangle of masculine confrontation.

Not only did we not get revenge for Xena, we lost our advantage! Now he knows we're coming for him!" Ryder's voice was raw with fury.
"All my intelligence toldthat building was operational, one of their biggest assets!" Alpha Benedict roared back.
"Who the fuck is giving you intelligence, because it's obviously wrong," Ryder spat, his tone dripping with contempt.
"That's none of your concern," Alpha Benedict said in a dangerously low tone.
"You said the phone was connected to that building, that you'd been watching him for a while. Why?" I asked. Alpha Benedict looked atwith surprise, clearly caught off guard by the question.
"He was never an ally! I monitor all enemies!" He dismissed my question with a wave of his hand.
My instincts toldthere was something deeper here, something he was hiding.
"Where is Gamma Tom?" I asked quickly.
Alpha Benedict's body tensed before he tried to relax. I glanced at Ryder and Dad-they obviously noticed Alpha Benedict's reaction too. "On a mission." "Is he undercover in Alpha Wiley's pack?" Ryder asked the question directly.
"Why would you ask that?" Alpha Benedict's face reddened.
Without hesitation, Ryder pulled out his phone and showed them the photo William had sent him.
"Where did you get this?" Alpha Benedict looked at Ryder in disbelief asking urgently.
"From my own sources. The man next to Tom-we believe he might be Penelope's father," Ryder told my dad.
"Explain. Now!" Dad's face turned a shade of red I hadn't seen in a long tas he glared at Alpha Benedict, clearly leaving no room 1/2 Chapter 230 for negotiation.

Although I had suspected it, hearing Benedict's confirmation was stil shocking.
"How long has he been there?" Dad asked.
"Nine months!" Alpha Benedict grabbed his his hands.
