Leon hesitated. A part of him wanted to lie. But the other part knew he needed to get this over with.
He licked his lips and took a small step forward. "Before I tell you who got into the archive, you have to promise to inform Alpha Lucas that I knew nothing about it."
Kade's expression remained impassive. "Who is it?"
Leon's eye twitched.
Sighing, he braced himself. "Jake. He visited the archive a few days after the battle before he left to take over as the Alpha of the Bloodhound pack."
"That fucking son of a bitch." Kade let out a slow, simmering breath. "Ava's brother?"
"Stepbrother, actually," Leon corrected. "And they never really saw eye to eye while she was here. I was surprised when Alpha Lucas assigned him to lead the Bloodhound pack."
Kade always knew Jake was the type of wolf who smiled while plotting ways to stab you in the back. The fact that he had been trusted with leadership was wild.
