She swallowed hard, and even though she was now the one facing Xaden's wrath, she stood firm and told him the truth.

Xaden looked at her with rage in his eyes. "You knew?! You knew?!"

She nodded meekly. "Yes, I did."

Xaden could hardly even believe his eyes or ears. "You knew all along and you refused to tell me! You, too, deceived me knowingly?! You kept it away from me! You knew something so grave and yet you decided to even tell her not to tell me?"

"I did it only because I was worried for you, " she said. "I was not certain how you would take it."

Xaden gave a bitter laugh. "It seems everyone knows about what is going on. It seems I am the only one who does not know things in my own pack!"
