"Do you know where Yasmin is?" Talia asked Declyn.
Declyn shook his head. "Gregory divides tasks, and he is the only one who knows the whole plan."
"You must have some ideas where he could keep her," Talia said.
Declyn confirmed. "I might."
"Was your task to bring Talia here?" Damon asked Declyn.
Declyn shook his head. "I was to stay here and be a backup if anything unexpected happens. I knew he would make you be with another woman, so Alpha Natalia leaves you."
"What!?" Talia snapped. This was so sinister and ridiculous that her insides churned. If it worked, Talia would be devastated.
"Gregory knew that if we just kill Alpha Damon, you will never forgive us," Declyn explained. "That's why he was planning for your mate to be with another woman. Gregory would remove restrictions once Damon gets intimate with the other female, so you can feel the pain of betrayal, at which point you will break your mate bond, and chances of you coming to us willingly will increase."
