We each had a bear pendant; Elena’s was on her schoolbag, while mine was on my key chain. This was kind of like our secret signal.
Sure enough, Elena’s eyes lit up happily once she saw her cupcake. When nobody was looking, she turned around and blinked at me.
Only then did I sigh in relief.
Luca and the kids had a good time the rest of the day. Riley also smiled the whole time. The sadness from being ignored by her own husband had temporarily disappeared.

Over the next few days, I kept an eye out for another opportunity to go into Adam’s study. But it was hard because Riley was always home
One day, on a whim, Riley asked, “Debra, how about you come with me to the department store today?”
Angela’s Library
The department store? This was the perfect opportunity!
“Sure!” I replied enthusiastically.
It didn’t take Long for me to come up with a plan
Just as we were heading out, I deliberately left my purse in the house.
So as soon as we got in the car, I pressed my palm against my forehead and said helplessly, “Oh, I’m so sorry. I forgot my purse inside. Can I go back and get it?”
Without a trace of suspicion, Riley said gently, “Go ahead.”
“Thanks!”
I bolted back to the house quickly and went directly to Adam’s study on the second floor.
Recalling my last experience, I moved the oil painting of Luca and opened the door to the secret chamber without a hitch I rushed inside and quickly leafed through the documents on the desk inside, which turned out to contain a Lot of information about all the
Alphas and Lunas. Strangely, there was no specific information about the deal of Roz Town.
How could this be?
Could Adam have transferred these important documents someplace else?
Frowning, I continued scanning through the documents.
Suddenly, I paused. A familiar name stood out to me. Marley, the Luna of Silver Ridge Pack, was highlighted in red!
Debra’s POV:
Why would Adam highlight Marley’s name in red? It was strange. Could it mean anything special?
But I couldn’t figure it out for the time being. When I was about to check if there was any more information, my phone pinged.
Then it pinged a couple more times in succession.
