Ford’s POV"Moving on," I said, my voice cutting through the thick, stagnant tension of the grand hall like a tired rumble. "We all have our clear directives. Healer Irene, you have full authorization over the research," I said as I massaged the bridge of my nose, feeling the onset of a headache right behind my eyes. “I will get back to you with a formal decree once I have completed the necessary steps with the current head healer."Irene bowed her head with a modest, perfectly submissive posture. "Thank you, Alpha Ford," she said, her voice trembling with teary gratitude. “I will do my best not to let you down."I turned my gaze to the others around the table, my eyes settling onto my cousin. Bree had finally stopped sniffing, her pale cheeks entirely ruined by the black stains of her mascara."And Bree," I growled, my tone dropping. "I do not like a single thing I have heard in this room regarding your past conduct. Your actions five years ago were an absolute disgrace to the Vale

Fabian’s POV“Why did you lie to her?” I repeated under my breath as I stormed through the shaded corridors of the central compound that led to the training grounds. “I can’t believe he had the guts to ask me that dumbass question.”I could sense the unease of my two guards escorting me. They were nervous about my bad mood but I couldn’t give two shits right now.My jaw was clenched so tight the muscles in my neck were pulsing with anger as my combat boots slammed against the granite flooring. ‘What the fuck had he even been expecting te outcome to be?’ I thought bitterly, my fists clenching at my sides as I marched past the security checkpoints. ‘Did he truly believe he could just look Keren in the eyes, confess that he cheated on her five years ago, and she would just smile and forgive him on the spot?’“He didn’t even think of the fact that there were others in the room,” I hissed out loud under my breath. “Sir?” one of my guards called out, his voice hesitant. “Did you say somet

Keren’s POV“I still can’t believe it.”I laughed softly as Irene said the exact same thing for what had to be the tenth time since they’d left the meeting hall.Now that the meeting was over and the tension had faded, Irene looked happier than I’d seen her in years. She was practically bouncing as she walked.“It’s like I’m dreaming. Do you understand how impossible this is?” she said excitedly, turning to me as we walked and skipping backwards. “Do you know how many years I’ve worked under that man?”“Too many?”“Exactly!” She exclaimed, throwing her hands into the air dramatically. “That old fossil was planning to die in that office. He was never going to willingly give up his authority for someone like me. Never."I looked at my best friend and then at my son, who was skipping ahead of us, loudly humming a nursery rhyme. I hadn’t felt this happy and satisfied in a long time.I pulled Maverick closer to my side as we walked up the stairs to the pack’s common dining hall. "Was he re

Keren’s POV“Where is Mavy?” Fabian said, pausing at the door and turning to look at me. My heart jolted. “With Irene and my other guards,” I replied, my brows furrowing. “Why?”“I need both of you with Ford,” He replied, still looking at me as he gestured to Quinn to go ahead. Then he extended his hand to me for me to join him. “Come on, let’s get moving. I have linked Steve to go get him.”When we got outside, the sky was beginning to blur with a thick, gray overcast, casting dark shadows across the compound that only made the sight of the guards moving around the compound feel more ominous.Fabian’s jaw tightened. “You stay with Ford in his office until we’ve gotten her.”“I can just stay with Irene and—”"Lola fled because she probably heard the cook had been caught. She’s still somewhere on these premises, and we don’t know what else she’s planning," he cut in, his voice a low, gravelly rumble that left zero room for argument. "We don't know who else is part of this network, or

Keren’s POV“Mommy, see,” Maverick called out to me, holding up the Game Boy his father had given him. “I won!”I smiled at him, but my mind was distracted. It had been almost four hours since Ford and Fabian had left, and the waiting was driving me insane.Fabian was probably busy with extracting the truth from Lola, and I knew the interrogation wouldn't be clean. And Ford had quickly excused himself, saying he needed to coordinate the searching of residential spaces personally. I had been trying and failing to concentrate on anything other than the knot of anxiety growing in my stomach.Ford's scent was everywhere in the room, which wasn’t surprising given he was usually here for hours on end, dealing with both the pack's and their business issues. And unfortunately, my brain decided that was the perfect opportunity to replay memories; the good, embarrassing, and… very inappropriate memories.My face heated instantly. God, why was I like this?I looked around the office, looking fo
