I flicked my tail, as I waited at the forked end. I had gotten there almost 30 minutes early and staked out all the possible exits if I needed one. I was prepared. I didn't like meeting alone with a group of wolves that had gotten on my bad side, but I would do it if it meant that I was protecting my pack.

I sighed and laid down looking around, bored. Why are they taking a long time? I thought to myself, flicking my ears around, trying to catch any sound at all.

A twig snapped, making me tense and lift my head from my paws. The fur on the back of my neck bristled, and I growled lowly, waiting for who or what ever was out there to come into my view. My ears swiveled around, trying to catch any noise, while I looked at the spot where there had been a noise. I kept my body relax, acting indifferent.

Someone rustled through the bush, and Judah appeared in wolf form. Two others followed him, and I could tell that the others were stunned that I was there. Judah smirked a little in wolf form, before he shifted into human form. "Ember, I'm so glad that you had time to see me," he said "nicely".

I had to hold back an eye roll, while I shifted into human form. "Judah," I said, nodding my head in hello. I turned to look at the others. "Care to introduce me to your workers now?" I turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow. "I do not like to be kept in the dark on these things."

Judah smirked and nodded his head. "You all ready know Markus," he said, pointing to the man to his left. "I like how he seems to be such a rabbit, but he is a very good Warrior and will protect those that he needs to."

I nodded my head towards Markus. I could feel his glare of hatred, since I knew that he didn't like me, since I was Bane's "mate". "Pleasure," I said, trying to keep the smirk out of my voice. I turned to look at the other one.

The male had green eyes, reminding me of my father's eyes. He stood maybe at 6'5 and was well built. His black hair was cut short and stuck in the front as if he had ran his hand through it. I could smell no pack on him and knew that he was a rogue.

"That is Rufus. I promised him the Beta position if he helped me out with this," Judah said, dismissively, gesturing to him."He knows all the pack lands and knows the  shortcuts. He's also the best at detecting lies from other."

I raised my eyebrow and looked Rufus in the eye. A small smirk appeared on my face as I narrowed my eyes in challenge. "So you think you can detect lying. Is that true?" I asked.

Rufus shrugged his shoulder. "Why? Do you have anything to hide?" He watched me, raising an eyebrow.

I shrugged my shoulder and stuffed my hands into my pocket. "Let's see here... I'm actually a lesbian. I have a mate who is a male, but I really love girls and how some of their boobs are big and squishy. Oh, and this isn't my real hair color. I'm actually a blonde." I raised an eyebrow, while I looked at Rufus. "Do you think that I'm lying?"

Rufus studied me and shook his head no. "It looks like you are telling the truth. So, does that mean you've been in the closet for a long time? And why did you dye your hair?"

I shrugged my shoulder. "Depends. I mean, I get along great with Marvis and Mike. They are both gay and flamboyant. Besides, I didn't like it how people looked at me with a smirk and said blonde moment, if I got confused about something, so I dyed my hair black."

"You owe me $20. See, I told you that she was a lesbian," Markus said, looking at Judah. He held out his hand, wanting the money. "Now, pay up."

I barked out laughing. "No, I'm not a Lesbian, Idiot," I said, shaking my head. "I've been straight for a long time and do not want a girl mate. I have no problem with gays or lesbians. That is why I haven't kicked Marvis and Mike out of my pack."

"What about your hair color?"

"Naturally black." I looked at Rufus and smirked. "Your lie detection thing is broken."

"You acted indifferent as if this was a normal conversation. How else was I supposed to know?"

"Body language. Now, that we have interacted with each other, can we get down to business? Mom isn't getting any younger."

"So, we know the plan?" Judah asked, looking around at us. We were lounging around the area and were talking about how to handle the situation.

My head was on Rufus's lap, and he was fiddling with my hair. Out of all of them, I thought I could trust Rufus the much. I guess it might be because he wasn't part of any pack, or it was because he might actually know about me being a "spy". Hehe I love acting and was good at it. Maybe I should join out for the next play. Hmmm what was it called again?

"Ember," a voice snapped, breaking me from my thoughts.

I lifted my head, from Rufus's lap, to see an angry Judah looking at me. A smirk appeared on my face as I saw that I got him riled up, without even trying to. "Hmmm?" I asked. "Sorry, was thinking about school." I stretched and yawned.

Judah glared at me. "Do you know the plan?" he asked, gritting his teeth together.

I rolled my eyes. "Yea, yea, yea," I said. "Don't get your panties in a twist."

Judah growled, making me raise an eyebrow. "You need to go, now," he said. "We don't want them to get suspicious."

I shrugged my shoulder and I stood. "I guess so. I got to get to bed, anyways." I looked at the sky and saw that it had darkened a lot from the time that I had left. I guess it was around 8pm. "Night everyone." With that I shifted into wolf form and started to run back towards my pack house.

I wonder if I could pull this off and maybe get everyone still to trust me after I had killed my mother. I couldn't believe that was what I had to do. However, I would do it so that I could kill Judah.
