Julian POV“Alpha Julian, I have news about Black Enterprises.”“Speak,” I ordered.“Paul Black’s ex-wife has assumed the role of CEO. Her husband is the Deputy CEO.”“How? There is a board. They voted her in? What the hell is Birch doing?”“Birch and Satterwhite are both arrested and in the custody of the FBI. The IRS is also involved.”“Come again?”“Mrs. Willis had all the dirt on those two regarding the embezzlement. Mrs. Whitaker called to tell me. She also knows about the prostitution ring, though she didn’t give any information to the FBI about it.”I growled. “Son of a bitch! We needed that supply chain!”“I understand, but Mrs. Willis had them removed, and they had to sign over the shares to her mate.”“So now they are the biggest shareholders of Black Enterprises? Fuck!”I swiped all the contents on my desk to the floor. I haven’t found the hacker. I haven’t been able to get Mia or Rodrigo. The docks are still not in my control. Now the supply chain I need has been dismantle
Kaia POVNow that Birch and Satterwhite are gone, the rest of the board looked at me, holding fifteen percent of the remaining shares. They are all now the minor stakeholders, while Isaiah and I are the major stakeholders. I gave him the majority because I want him to serve as acting CEO while I am on maternity leave. Then he is going to transfer ten percent to me later. He insisted on giving me a signed copy of the agreement so it could be processed, to show he was serious. He is the alpha of Ironclaw though, and I trust him as my mate.The auras of everyone in the room showed clear uncertainty, except for one. She is an older woman with ties to Birch. I don’t have anything concrete against her, though. On the surface, she looks clean. Her name is Misty Whitaker. She has brown hair with a Bride of Frankenstein streak on the right side. Her skin looks flawless but aged. Like parchment paper that’s never been used. You can see the grooves, but it still looks crisp. Her eyes are blue wi
Kaia POVMy head was spinning with everything my father said in that recording. I was only an object used to make money. He never looked at me like a daughter. Just an asset.Don’t get me wrong, as a hitman, I’m used to being an asset, but at least I would get paid. It’s a different kind of asset. But for my dad, I looked like an asset he owned, like a real estate deal.Isaiah held me last night as I cried. He has been wonderful through all of this, even though I know he is furious. I decided not to accept any more calls from my father. Let him rot in prison. Mr. Fellman breathed a sigh of relief hearing that, but he said I would need to move carefully while I’m in town, because he was supposed to get me to drop the charges.Mr. Fellman was solid, though. He said, " Don’t drop the charges. He said to keep him in prison for the rest of his life. Isaiah and Sinclair both agreed. It wasn’t like I was opposed to the idea, but I feel a lot better knowing everyone is on the same wavelength.
Adrian POVFor a week, I have been by Amber’s side. Her wounds have healed slowly. She still looks pale, but at least her injuries have healed. The doctor said that he was going to wake Amber up today.“Alpha Adrian, I don’t know how much more time your mate will need to be here, once I wake her up. The wounds and incision scars have all healed, which means her wolf is still present. Your wolf being here, I’m sure, has helped too. I have heard from a few folks around the pack that you plan on rejecting your mate. Is this true?”News travels fast, apparently. I looked down. I have thought long and hard about the rejection. Thor and I agree it’s the right thing to do. It still hurts, though.“Yes, doctor.”“Then, before I wake her, I must advise you to wait on the rejection. Once I wake her, I will be able to assess her pain and continuing recovery. Rejecting her too soon could still be fatal for her. We have administered blood thinners since black blood can form blood clots. I don’t wan
Kaia POVHis eyes are full of concern. Sinclair and Isaiah immediately sit up. Clearly, there is a sense of the shift in his behavior, too. The once confident attorney looks truly shaken.“What happened, Mr. Fellman?” I asked.“I went to the house to retrieve the document from the safe as you instructed. As soon as I opened the safe, there was no paperwork, but a video of your father started playing. I managed to record the audio. In it, he said that no one is safe from what is coming. He is on the winning side, and you are just getting in the way,” he began, but then added. “When the video finished, sirens were set off. The office started filling with some kind of toxin. I had to jump from the second-floor balcony, and that was after forcefully breaking through the doors. There was a second when I thought I wouldn’t be able to get through.”Oh. My. Goddess.Mr. Fellman continued talking, though. “After I came to in the hospital, a nurse came in and had a syringe. She said that I neede
Kaia POVI feel like I have been on a rollercoaster this last week. After the attack with Ronan and the rogues, Adrian has been at the pack hospital day and night with Amber. Sinclair and I have been looking for all possibilities leading to Ronan. Half of the Blackstone warriors were left behind at Ironclaw. Isaiah spoke to the council, explained what had happened, and then asked for assistance in recruiting warriors.We can’t put off going back to the human city any longer, and it is leaving both of us uneasy. Sinclair has agreed to come with us to the human city to assist in everything she can regarding the company, my father, Ronan, and Mr. Fellman.Isaiah is bringing his work stuff with him so he can continue working. Plus, he wants to review Black Enterprises' financial records to see if there are any gaps in the pack's funding.Before we left, Alpha Max and Paul discussed their exit strategy with Isaiah and me, and they will leave shortly after we return. The rest of the warriors
Aiden POVI am still trying to figure out the best way to merge with Ironclaw. I’m currently in Crossfang, working on some things, trying to come up with a proposal that benefits both sides and helps this war.Thalia is spending time with Mia and her mother. I don’t want to interrupt their time toge
Kaia POV It's been almost a month since my divorce. I’m heading back to the human city to finalize the asset transfer. Isaiah is with me. He hasn’t left my side at all. Ever since he wore me out that first night, I have been adding to his list. I love having fun with him in bed. I have something I
Isaiah POV Halfway through the night, my possessive alpha DNA wanted to make sure everyone in the pack knows this woman is mine. I made sure to come inside her, bite down on her mark multiple times, and rub our bodies together so damn much that you can barely smell her scent, and all you smell is m
Isaiah POV I panicked when that box started making noise. I grabbed Kaia and shielded her with my body. Sinclair was about to throw it when Adrian kicked it out of her hand and shielded her as well. Sinclair and Kaia didn’t miss a beat, though. They looked at each other, and Sinclair got up and s
