Thoth growled, and there was a slam from his side. “Tell me you’re joking.”
“I wish I was.” I wiped my face. “They need out. Rick’s being poisoned. His child is being drained, his mate’s life is being threatened.”
“Are you going to take them to the cabin?” Thoth asked.
I nodded. “Until everything is set up back at my dad’s pack.”
“You know we can’t go back until the rogues are found.” My dad sighed.
I felt stupid at that moment. “Um. Daddy…remember I love you.”
“What pup?”
“I found out where the rouges are…in my first year at school.”
My dad’s mouth dropped open. “What?”
Thoth sighed. “Why didn’t you tell either of us?”
“To be fair, I was dealing with a lot of bullshit. There was the issue with Nina and her sister. All the bullshit with Rowan. You died. Then I hit my heat.” I sighed. “I forgot okay.”
My father waved me off. “Where are they?”
“I’m not certain anymore, but Aurora had a base inside the dead caves with the rogues. Aurora, Amara, and her grandmother were working with the rogues. But there is something else.”
“What?” My dad looked a little dazed.
“Verity is their sister.” My dad snapped his head up and I nodded.
“The she-wolf that’s engaged to the king?” Thoth questioned.
“Yeah.” I nodded again. “She is the oldest sister of Aurora and Amara. She’s using magic to keep her place by the king’s side.” I sighed. “I just don’t know how to save him.”
“Save him?” Thoth’s voice was filled with confusion. “Why would you have to save him?”
I felt my face freeze for a second. “Because he is being controlled with magic, surrounded by people who want to see him dead, and we don’t know who else is in on the plot.”
Thoth grunted and my dad looked a little flustered. “Gavin?”
I looked at my dad with a furrowed brow. “Dad?”
He coughed. “Yeah?”
Thoth sounded confused. “Why is Amy thinking she has to save the king? Why doesn’t she know everything?”
My dad scratched behind his ear. “Okay, so don’t get mad.” Oh hell. What did he do? “But I thought it better to leave her out of it.”
“What did you just say?” Thoth growled. “Are you telling me she has no clue what the king has been doing? The letters? Theexplanation? She received none of it.” He growled again. “These last years, she has been in the dark?”
My father sucked in a breath. “Yes.” Thoth smashed something and my father winced. “In my defence, there was a reason for it.”
“What’s that?” Thoth growled out, sending shivers down my spine. “What could possibly have come from keeping your daughter in the dark? How does that help us?”
“Well, she has focused on herself, her magic, and her wolves. She has grown her own pack and grown into a pretty fantastic wolf, if I do say so myself.” He smiled at me.
“She would have done that, anyway.” Thoth growled out. “She is the most selfless and amazing wolf I have ever met, Gav. You have ruined everything.” Thoth sounded hurt, but his words made my stomach flutter. He really thinks that about me? The words made my face burn, and I had to turn away from the screen.
My dad sighed. “I know you wanted her looped in, but I wanted her focused. And Rowan was a distraction. Even you were iffy, but she needed someone to help her.” I watched as my dad’s eyes hardened. “You might not like my choice, but it was my choice.”
