Chapter 569

There were a couple more videos to watch, though, and I worried about what they contained.

The next video was titled: What was Rachel up to?"

I swallowed, pressing play on the video, and I saw it was a camera outside another hotel room. The door opened, and Rachel, a man I didn't recognize, walked out. He was shirtless, and he had a smug smile on his face. I looked closer and saw a glimpse of raven black hair lingering in the doorway and a familiar silk red nightgown.

Was that Rachel?

The video ended.

Monty: That footage was hard to find because I wasn't sure what I was looking for. But as I was watching all of the footage from that night, I saw the red nightgown in the doorway, and it kind of ties together with the next video.

I pressed play on the last video.

Rachel was sneaking down the hallway in her red silk nightgown; her black hair splaying down her narrow back as she knocked frantically on my suite door.

After a few minutes, Judy answered the door, looking a bit annoyed and disheveled. I watched the two of them going back and forth, and slowly, Judy's face started to fall. My heart shattered watching her expression.

Not before long after, Rachel was rushing into the room and Judy was stepping out. Judy stared at the closed door for a long while before she turned and left. The video perfectly captured her crestfallen face and the tears that she tried to keep away.

The video ended.

What the actual fuck did I just watch?

I texted Monty.

Me: Was that everything?

Monty: Yup. It see

you were with 2 women that night. I'm not sure what happened in your suite, though, so there's still a chance you could have slept with Rachel.

I didn't sleep with Rachel. I know in my gut that I didn't sleep with her.

Me: I need to find out who that man was and what relations he had with Rachel that night.

Monty: In one of the videos I watched, I saw him walking into the suite himself. He had a resort uniform shirt on, so I think he works somewhere at the Grand Casino Hotel. I didn't bother sending it to you because I didn't find it relevant. But if you must know who he is, I'd start there.

I shoved the phone back into my pocket without responding. I walked back into he hospital room to find Rachel scrolling through her phone. She looked up when she

saw me.

"I have to step away," I told her. "But I'll be back later."

She studied my face for a moment, a small crease between her brows.

"You're leaving?" she asked, sounding sad. "When is later?"

"I don't know yet," I told her. "It's just business. You understand, right?"

She bit her lower lip and nodded slowly.

"I guess so," she sighed.

I nodded, giving her a forced fake smile before turning and leaving. I needed to find out who the fuck that man was and what relations he had with Rachel.

Surprisingly enough, it was easy to find out the information I needed. The casino was strict and monitored each employee while they were on the clock. I only had to find out who wasn't on the clock around that time and narrow it down. I worked tirelessly with the hotel manager, and a few hours later, I had a picture and a name.

Jeremiah Rodrigues.

What's worse? He was a human.

My intimidating aura made getting a confession out of him easy.

Apparently, she sought him out, and her beauty and charm made it impossible for him to resist he temptations. She gave him a hotel suite room number and key and told him to meet her there.

So, he did.

He explained how they had unprotected sex; she assured him that she was protected, and they didn't need to worry about anything else. She rocked his world and then kicked him out right after.noveldrama

I noticed there was a resemblance between me and Jeremiah, which is probably

why she wanted him specifically.

I felt sick to my stomach knowing I was being played for a fool.

As the day wore on and evidence started to pile up, I received the call I was waiting for.

“Eliza,” I greeted. "Do you have news for me?"

"Yes," she breathed. "Do you want to hear it in person, or over the phone?"

“I'm just finishing up here," I told her as I was leaving the Grand Casino Hotel. "I have a ton of evidence against Rachel. She screwed a human just before coming to my suite."

There was silence on the other end, and then I heard Eliza sigh.

"Well, that explains that then."

"What do you mean?"

"Rachel's baby has human blood mixed with some wolf blood," she explained, making me freeze. "Which makes this baby half human. Alpha, this baby isn't yours."
