His Unwanted Gamma novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71

Elara’s POY

“this really happening?” thought to myself as every pair of eyes in the room turned toward me. The weight of their stares pressed down, but I didn’t let it show. I wasn’t about to let Dex’s accusation tear me apart, not in front of everyone.

I shot him a sharp look, brows furrowing “Rogue’s language? What are you talking about?” My voice didn’t betray the confusion that twisted inside me, but it was clear I wasn’t buying it.

Box hesitated, like he didn’t want to say more, but his words came out anyway. “At first, I wasn’t going to mention it, but now that we’re all airing thing out… Remember that howling we heard? None of us understood it. But your guard Jory he did. He understood it perfectly.”

I stared at him, my stomach sinking “So what? He helped us. What’s the issue here?”

Bex’s gaze didn’t soften, but his words cut deeper, “it’s strange, isn’t it? A soldier like him knowing the rogue’s language. And you followed his lead to the creek, down West… How do we know he didn’t lead you into a trap?”

“Yeah, that’s weird,” Theo chimed in. His voice was skeptical, filled with doubt. “And didn’t you get separated from him right aher entering the woods? You were walking right into rogue territoryTM

A wave of heat rushed to my face, my blood boiling, I stood up from my seat, my fist clenching at my sides. “Jory is my most trusted warrior. I won’t let anyone question his loyalty especially not ke this!” The words came out sharp, laced with anger.

Roman scoffed, the sound full of contempt. “Oh, now we can’t question your soldier? But you have no problem questioning everyone else’s loyalty? Reall nice, Gamma Elara”

I shot him a glare, but Thome’s voice cut through the tension like a knife. “Did you tell Jory about our plan, Elara?”

froze, my mind scrambling i didn’t want to admit it, but there was no way around it. “I did.” I muttered, looking at the floor. “I told both him and Vessa They’re both captains in our advance force.”

Roman’s voice dripped with sarcasm. “Well, well, well… Looks like we’ve found our mole

Triss shot him a look, the weight of it silencing him for a moment. But Bee wasn’t done. “So, tell me, Fara What’s the backstory on Jary? Where does he come from? Does he have family?”

I bit my lip, a knot forming in my throat. I didn’t want to answer, nat because I didn’t trust Jory, but because i wa

wasn’t sure what they’d say ifI did. But they weren’t going to let me off the hook. They were relentless. And there, in the silence, I knew I had no choice but to speak.

“Jory grewup by the border,” I started, my voice steady but quiet. “There was a battle a brutal one. Afterward, he came to us, volunteered to fight. He lost his family in that war. He had nowhere else to go.

“And that’s the story you’re buying?” Theo’s skepticism was palpable. “Did you even do a background check on him? See it he’s really one of us?”

I felt the tension in my shoulders, but I didn’t back down. “We tried,” I said, my voice strained. “But he lived in the forest with his parents. The rogues destroyed their home. He was just a kid–twelve years old. Do you really think they’d send a child to spy on us?”

Theo was

wasn’t convinced. “It’s possible,” he said, his voice rising. “That age’s old enough to carry a weapon. You didn’t raise any suspicions about him?”

“It doesn’t add up,” Roman said, his voice cold, angry. “Jory has been with us all this time, stealing our information, sending it to the rogues. You brought himin, Elara. You brought the enemy into our midst.”

I felt a chill creep down my spine. For the first time, doubts began to slither in Could Jory have been hiding something from me? But no, I cou believe it. I wouldn’t believe it.

Tinhaled deeply, forcing the fear out of my chest. “Jory is loyal,” I said, my voice firm, but beneath it, there was the smallest thread of doubt I couldn’t shake. “Until there’s hard proof, he still has my trust.”

Chapter 71

Roman’s growl rumbled low, but Triss and Des exchanged looks, their disapproval clear. Then was caught between us, looking from one side to the torn. “We’re back at square one, aren’t we? Alpha Thorne, what do you think?”

Thorne stood, his movements calm, collected. “We need to hear from Jory himself,” he said, voice steady as he walked to the door and called for the soldiers. “Get Jory in here”

The soldier returned moments later, and Jory stood in the doorway, looking confused. “You wanted to see me?” he asked, his voice flat. “What’s going

Triss spoke first, his voice soft but filled with a tension that none of us could ignore. “We need you to be honest with us, Jory. No accusations yet, but we need the truth. Did you leak our battle plans to the rogues?”

Jory’s eyes widened, his face going pale. “No! I swear I didn’t!” His voice cracked, full of shock and disbelief. “How could you think that? The rogues killed my parents! They–they cut her open, let her bleed to death. Thate them all His voice shook with raw emotion.

But then Bex pushed. “You speak their language. How do you explain that?”

Jory finched, and I saw the muscles in his jaw tighten. “I grew up by the border. It’s natural,” he said, trying to sound calm, but his voice altered.

Triss wasn’t convinced. “Lots of people grew up by the border. They don’t speak the rogue’s tongue.”

“..I spent years in the forest. Met them more than most, Jory stammered, his eyes wide, his body shaking. “I learned their language… it was the only way to survive”

Roman slammed his hand on the table. “It’s all too perfect. You’re lying, Jory. We should execute you now send your head to the rogues as a message.”

Jory’s body shook, his hands trembling as he looked at me. His eyes filled with pain. “Gamma Elars, please… His voice was barely above a whisper “You believe in me, don’t you? You know me better than anyone. Please… please say something.”

The look on his face–it was all I needed. My heart twisted in my chest. I couldn’t look away. I couldn’t doubt him,

ing his fingers, “I trust you.”

I walked over, taking his hand. “Yeah” I said softly, squeezing his !

Roman’s roar echoed in the room, but i didn’t flinch. Instead, I turned to face the others, my stance solid. “Jory is a victim of the rogues, just like me. I believe in him. Until there’s hard proof, no one is touching him”

Triss let out a long sigh h. “I’m with Elara. We can’t let the good suffer because of doubts.

The room fell silent. Theo and Bex exchanged looks, but neither of them spoko, Roman, however, was furious, knocking a chair to the ground with a

burious kick.

Thorne’s voice broke the silence. “Elara, take Jory. Let him rest. You both need it. And don’t lose track of him again.”

It was a command, but it was also a warning. Keep him close.
