Alpha Conrad: Claiming The Wrong Bride 60
He is too close to her. Why is he standing so close to her?Who the hell is she to call me little?Conrad stood on the edge of the ballroom, his fingers nearly snapping the stem of his champagne flute when his eyes landed on Nadia enjoying the company of a Scottish Alpha. His wolf, Raven, was pacing behind his ribs, vibrating in Conrad’s chest.The Scot. He smells of peat and arrogance, Raven snarled. Look at how he leans in. He is trying to catch the scent of our mate. He is touching her hand, Conrad. Why are we standing here? Tear his throat out."I can't just attack a delegate, Raven," Conrad muttered under his breath, his eyes fixed on Nadia. She was laughing—actually laughing—at something the burly Scottish Alpha had said.She looked radiant in the midnight-blue dress, her face animated in a way it never was when she spoke to him. "We are just colleagues."Colleagues do not look at each other like that, Raven snapped. He is hunting. And she is letting him. Do something, or I will

Waiters in white gloves moved through the crowd of dignitaries, but the real activity was centered around the primary negotiation table—a massive slab of obsidian with ruthless men sitting around it.Nadia sat at Conrad’s right hand, her tablet glowing with the raw data of the Euro-Pack’s proposal. Across from them, Alpha Vane and his council were smirking, confident in their 150-page master agreement."The infrastructure levy is standard, Alpha Bradley," Vane said, tapping a manicured finger on his copy. "A flat 8% fee for the Southern corridors. It’s the cost of stability."Conrad leaned forward, his brow furrowed as he scanned the summary. "Eight percent is steep, Vane. We were looking for five.""Then you’re looking for a fairy tale," Vane countered, his eyes flicking dismissively toward Nadia. "Perhaps your... strategist... can explain the math to you later."Nadia didn't look up. She had spotted it ten minutes ago—a recursive clause in Appendix C that looped the fuel tariffs bac

London Heathrow’s private terminal was a flair of biting wind. The air smelled damp. As Nadia stepped off the jet, she was met by a welcoming committee of three European Alphas—men in wool coats who looked as though they had been carved from the very fog surrounding the airport."Alpha Bradley," the tallest one said, his voice a deep baritone, ignored Nadia entirely. "We expected your arrival. Though, we didn't expect you to bring your... personal secretary into the inner sanctum of the summit."He glanced at Nadia, his nostrils flaring with a dismissive sniff. The scent of Omega was clear to him, and in his world, that scent didn't belong at a negotiating table."This is Nadia Williams," Conrad said, his voice dropping an octave into a warning growl. "She is my Lead Strategist."The Alpha let out a short, chauvinistic chuckle. "Strategist? How charming. Does she also do the catering? I hear Omegas have a natural instinct for the domestic arts."Nadia stepped forward, maintaining a ch

"Would you like a glass of the vintage Merlot, Ms. Williams? It’s a 2012 reserve, very smooth," the flight attendant asked, leaning over the plush leather seats with a silver tray.Nadia didn't even have to think about it. The mere thought of the fermented, acidic scent of wine made her stomach do a slow, treacherous roll. "No, thank you. No alcohol for me.""Water? Or perhaps tea?"Nadia looked at the menu, but her body was screaming for something specific. "Could I have a smoothie? A large one, with a lot of grapes. Cold. And for the meal... could I have the steak? Make it a large cut. Medium-rare. Actually," she hesitated, "make it more on the rare side. With extra red meat if the chef has it."Conrad, who had been reviewing a digital map across the aisle, lowered his tablet. He watched her for a moment, his eyes lingering on the way she glowed at the mention of the meat. "Grapes and steak? That’s quite the combination, Nadia. I didn't know you had such a carnivorous streak.""I’ve

The private jet terminal was quiet and exclusive, filled with the smell of fresh coffee and the sound of people talking in hushed tones, and from the way they carried themselves, one could tell they were elites. Outside, the morning sun reflected off the planes waiting to take off on the runway.Nadia stood near the security checkpoint, her grip tight on the handle of her carry-on. She was wearing one of the power suits Valentine had selected—a deep navy blue piece."Nadia! Stop! Please!"The voice called her from behind. Nadia froze, her heart dropping into her stomach. She turned to see Nelson sprinting toward her, his clothes rumpled and his expression a wore a desperate, frantic energy."Nelson? What are you doing here?" Nadia asked, her voice trembling."You can't go," Nelson gasped, reaching for her hands. He looked terrible—there were dark circles under his eyes, and he smelled of stale sweat and panic. "You can't just fly across the ocean and leave everything behind. Think abo

"Danielle, sweetheart, please lower your voice. The entire floor can hear you," Alpha Conrad said, his voice strained with a forced patience that was visibly thinning.He hated that he had to force himself to be soft on Danielle.He stood behind his desk, palms flat on the table surface, watching his fiancée pace the length of the room like a caged animal."I don't care who hears me, Alpha! I don't care if the whole world knows!" Danielle spun around, her face flushed with rage and wounded pride. "I had to find out from a gossip column in the lifestyle section that you’re leaving for London in three days. London! The Energy Summit! And you didn't even think to mention it to me?""It’s a business trip, Danielle. A high-stakes, twenty-four-hour-a-day negotiation," Conrad explained, taking a slow breath. "I didn’t mention it because it doesn’t affect your schedule or had anything to do with you. I’ll be gone for a while, and then I’ll be back. It’s a standard corporate engagement.""Stan
