"Victor stayed in the Silverwood area after he left my suite, but he didn't exactly head for the airport," Jessa Moore whispered as I leaned against the balcony of the Pacific Crest Resort. "He’s booked a room on the floor below yours. The rumors about Verity Holdings falling apart have him on edge, Mars. He’s been pacing his room like a caged wolf."

I rubbed my temples, the dull throb of the silver-sedative hangover still pulsing behind my eyes. "He’s suspicious, Jessa. And he has every right

    Grant Walker POVI pull my big black truck over to the side of the grass road and turn my body fast, locking my dark eyes right onto Mars Reed. Our gazes catch each other in a big, silent wolf battle inside the quiet front seat.“My inner wolf has never told a single lie to your face, Mars,” I say, keeping my deep voice steady.My eyes look super hot, full of a real honesty that looks like it wants to pull Mars right down into the deep woods with me!Now Mars looks like he really regrets bringing up the bad bite marks on my skin. He sits there looking like he cannot find a way to stop this talk. He clears his throat super fast, acts like he is very calm, and turns his face away to look out the side window. “Alpha Walker, let us just stick to our territory land business, okay?”“Sure, territory business,” I say, gripping the wheel tight. “Your wolf is still working late at the tower tonight.”“Grant…”Mars bites his lip so hard his teeth look white, his face full of big anger. “What ki

    Mars Reed POV“I… I have no idea what your wolf is talking about right now!” I stammer out loud, my face getting super hot as my eyes dart away from Grant’s intense, heavy stare.Grant leans his big body even closer to me, his handsome face sitting just inches away from my nose. “Then what exactly does your wolf mean when you shout about nibbling and biting, Mars?”Trying my absolute best to act cool and calm, I look over at the green pine trees instead of his face. “Alpha Walker, surely your new mate bond is not a cold and lonely one. We are both grown adult wolves here, so there is no reason for you to play dumb with me.”“Heh,” Grant lets out a deep, rumbling chuckle from his big chest, his dark eyes staying locked right onto my mouth. “Look at that. Your wolf is blushing super hard.”I stay completely lost for words, my tongue feeling like a heavy lump of dirt.Looking at the giant man standing over me on the grass, I feel like I do not even recognize his wolf anymore!Since when

    Mars Reed POVI am sitting in the lobby of the Walker Enterprises Tower, and my wolf is shaking so hard because every single breath I take inside this big building feels completely full of danger.“He tells the whole world about his new mate bond today, for crying out loud!” I yell at the beta wolf, my fists clenching tight. “How can Grant justify this crazy move to his new male partner?”“Why do you not take that up with Alpha Walker yourself?” the beta wolf asks, looking away from me.The beta wolf knows that Grant does not like other pack members talking about his private mate business at all.“Forget it, I will not push you anymore,” I say, my shoulders dropping down because I feel so tired. “Thanks anyway.”“Do not mention it,” the beta wolf says, giving me a tiny smile before he looks down at his watch. “Alpha Grant should be walking out of his big pack meeting in about one hour. Just go wait for him down in his private truck parking spot under the trees.”“Just text the phone l

    Mars Reed POV“You are the one who tells me I should never call you Alpha Walker when we are alone in the woods!” I yell back, my face getting super hot and my teeth clenching tight because I am so mad.My words hit Grant right in the chest, exactly how my wolf wants them to hit.“What are we to each other in the old days, Mars, and what are we to each other right now?” Grant asks, his face turning very smooth and cold like ice.“You…” I stomp my foot on the floor.Grant sits behind his big wood desk acting like he is just doing pack work, making it look like I am the only crazy wolf throwing a big tantrum in his den!“Mr. Reed, we are talking about territory business right now,” Grant says, crossing his big arms. “If your wolf has personal problems to solve with me, we can talk after the sun goes down and the pack work is done.”“I have absolutely nothing personal to talk about with you!” I scream, my eyes glaring at him like a wild animal. “Since you already make the big choice to m

    Mars Reed POVGrant Walker drops that big piece of news right in the middle of the room, turns his huge body around, and walks straight out the door. He leaves the rest of the pack moving orders for the head of the HR den to finish up.I do not expect Grant to shout my name out loud in front of all these wolves. Back when we have our mate bond and live together, he never makes a big show like this inside the pack house. The most he ever does is wait for the sun to go down so we can walk back to our den together side by side.Today, he walks right into the waiting room and yells my name for everyone to hear.Is he trying to tell the whole East Star Pack that we have a very strange and deep past together? My hands shake and my heart goes super fast. Has his alpha wolf gone completely crazy?“Alpha Walker… he just said your actual name, didn't he?”I stand there completely frozen, and Austin looks even more mixed up than me. He blinks his eyes fast like he thinks he is seeing a ghost or

    Mars Reed POVHuxley stands outside the clinic door and looks right at Brooke Caldwell with very cold eyes. He wants to see if she tells the truth or if she keeps telling bad lies to the pack. He thinks her dark secrets are tied to the giant truck crash that put his son in this bed.“Huxley, why do you look at me like that?” Brooke asks, and her voice shakes a little bit because she is scared. “Do you not trust my wolf?”“Should I trust a single word from your mouth?” Huxley says, stepping closer to her. He does not try to make his voice sound nice at all. “Brooke, you tell so many lies that you cannot even keep your stories straight anymore. When my boy first got brought into this clinic, you fell down on your knees. You told me you had a massive fight with him because of Grant Walker's mate problems, and that is why he ran out of the building. Now, all of a sudden, you tell me it was just about pack work?”Huxley spent many years dealing with tough alpha leaders in the woods, so he

    "What exactly are you planning, Grant? You’re circling me like a predator, and frankly, I'm tired of being the prey."I felt the words rasp in my throat. Standing in the center of the Ridge Courtyard, the space between me and Grant Walker felt like a canyon filled with silver mist. I was just a sco

    "Grant, put that communicator down. Now."I saw him flinch, not because of the volume of my voice, but because I’d stopped using his title. The air in the medical wing was thick with the scent of sterile herbs and the lingering, metallic tang of the Matriarch’s decaying life-force. On the other end

    "Grant Walker, I appreciate the tactical advice, but you can stand down. I’m an independent scout, and I can navigate this storm without an Alpha’s shadow.""Mars, calling me ‘Grant Walker’ like I’m a stranger won’t change the fact that we’ve shared a scent and a bond.""We’ve shared a contract.

    "Grant, I’ve heard this sermon about your internal review before. It doesn’t change the fact that the High Chairman’s sigil is currently burning a hole through my reputation."I kept my gaze fixed on the table, refusing to look at him. If Grant Walker really wanted Brooke Caldwell, he would have le
