Chapter 0130 +25 BONUS I was reaching the limit of what I could manage on my own searching for a spy within my own pack .
I couldnt go to my father with my suspicions ; I had no solid evidence , and the idea alone would upset him .
Claiming that someone within our own pack had betrayed us would only heighten his anxiety.
Claiming that someone within our own part The only real piece of evidence I had was the letter David had sent , which had mysteriously appeared on my desk .
My father had confiscated the envelope , and his team was investigating it , but as far as I knew , they hadnt discovered anything yet .
If I were to suggest that a medical professional in our pack was complicit in poisoning me and keeping my wolf dormant , it would add stress to the load my parents were already carrying .
They had already been through so much with everything that happened with David , not to mention the whirlwind romance I now had with Alexander .

They had accepted it all doing everything they could to support me , despite their worries .
Remembering everything theyd sacrificed for me , both now and in the past , I felt like a spoiled child for the way Id acted in the original timeline .
I hadnt seen the situation for what it was back then and hadnt taken responsibility as the alphas only child .
I was determined to change that this time around .
But my resources were limited .
I had no solid proof against anyone in the pack who might have been helping David poison me .
The doctor said that keeping my wolf dormant would have required small doses of poison administered regularly , which meant it was likely someone in the house had been tampering with my food .
Thats why I decided to reach out to the only cook I could trust Bethany .
She was a kind , older woman who had worked in the kitchens since I was a child .
Shed taught me to cook when I was curious and even helped prepare the food at my wedding with David .
When I asked her if she could come by and help me prepare a special dessert to surprise Alexander , she was delighted , arriving bright and early the next morning , her excitement evident in the warmth of her smile .
If you want the cookies to be fluffy , add a little extra baking powder , Bethany advised , watching me as I carefully measured ingredients into a large glass bowl .
How do you know so much about cooking ? I asked , glancing at her as I sifted flour .
Ive been cooking my whole life , she replied with a warm smile .
Working in the kitchens here at the estate was my dream I was doing what I loved for the people who mattered most to our pack .
So why did you leave , then ? I asked , curious .
A strange expression crossed her face , and she shook her head slightly .
The new head cook..I believe you were still in high school when she started .
She and I … didnt get along well .
Why not ? I pressed , searching her face for any trace of hidden resentment .
She was very particular about every dish , Bethany explained , her voice tinged with a faint irritation .
It can be a good thing , but she would get angry if anyone came in early and cooked without her supervision .
It was as if she needed to add her special touch to every meal .
Is that the same woman who runs the kitchen now ? I asked , frowning .
Bethany nodded .
I believe so .
I often thought that if she left , I might try to come back .
But as far as I know , shes still there .
1/2 Chapter 0130 +25 BONUS I turned my attention back to the bowl in front of me , cracking the room temperature eggs into the mixture .
Could this head cook somehow be connected to the strange events happening to me ? If she insisted on overseeing every dish , maybe it was to ensure that a particular substance made it into my food .
But even as the thought crossed my mind , it felt like a stretch .
Poisoning food that others could potentially eat would be a risky and inefficient approach .
