Alpha's Claim, Omega's Surrender 125
"Do you understand him at all, Lang?""I do," Victor countered, his voice steady despite the Alpha pressure radiating from the man in front of him. "Tell me, Grant, what man doesn't crave to be truly seen? When Mars goes out, I’m the one willing to wait for him at the base of the ridge just to ensure he's safe. I bet you haven't done that once in four years, right?"In Victor’s eyes, Grant Walker was a titan of industry, a wolf forever buried under a mountain of pack ledgers and territorial disputes. How could a man like that ever spare the hours required to simply be present?What Victor failed to realize was that Grant would burn his entire legacy to the ground, cancel every Council summit, and sacrifice his own sleep just to ensure Mars had a moment of peace. Even now, he had moved his entire base of operations to a hidden link just to stay within scent-range of Havencrest."He won't choose you," Grant said, his gold eyes piercing through Victor's posturing. "You’re just another wo

"Victor, once the final audit for the Cic Forest Marker is filed, I'm handing in my resignation.""No need for that, Mars. I’ve got a series of holdings abroad that need a firm hand."Before, Victor Lang would have fought tooth and nail to keep me in Silverwood, but now he was practically packing my bags. I could see the calculation in his eyes. The further I was from Grant Walker, the safer his lead auditor—and his peace of mind—would be."If I go abroad, I’m taking a hiatus from the industry," I said, staring out at the mountain fog. "I need to breathe."Victor leaned against the SUV. "You can’t stay idle forever, Reed.""Maybe not." I thought of the twins. They were young enough that my absence was just a temporary shadow, but if I stayed away much longer, the silence would become a trauma. I wanted to be there before they started asking questions I couldn't answer."If you ever decide to pick up the pen again, Westline is your home. You weren't just a director here; you were the a

"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 to be. A pack as established as Verity doesn't just vanish because an Alpha gets punched in the jaw."I pulled out my phone and dialed Howard Pierce’s private line. It took three tries before the corporate elder picked up."You heard?" I asked without preamble."The whole Silverwood heard, Mars," Howard’s voice was weary. "Verity Holdings is a ghost town. Their timber rights were absorbed by an offshore entity before the sun was even up. It was a surgical strike.""Who has that kind of reach, Ho

The silence in the vehicle stretched for nearly a minute, thick with the weight of four years of longing. Just as Howard Pierce thought I was finally considering his lecture on letting go, I tightened my grip on the steering wheel."Give me the contact for Victor Lang," I said, my voice like grinding stone."Grant, you’re beyond help," Howard sighed, the sound crackling over the line.I had accepted that reality long ago. I was beyond help, beyond redemption, and certainly beyond logic when it came to Mars Reed. All my silent vows to forget him, to leave the shadow of our past in the ruins of the Silverwood, and to forge a life as the cold Alpha of the West were nothing but self-deception.The truth was written in the bite marks currently scabbing over my shoulder. As soon as he snapped his fingers, I would rush into the fire like a moth to a flame, offering up my life without a second thought.While I was drowning in my own obsession, Mars was in the back of a car heading toward the

"I should have known better than to let Mars step foot into that viper's nest," Victor Lang muttered, his voice a low vibration of Alpha fury as he gripped the steering wheel of his SUV.He knew the type of wolves that ran Verity Holdings—the kind who saw an independent lead like Mars Reed as an easy target for their territorial games. My face, my history, the way I moved—it was all a beacon for the worst kind of predatory behavior."If Hayden so much as thought about claiming a piece of him, I’ll strip that pack of every acre they own," Victor growled, slamming his phone onto the passenger seat. He didn't bother with a formal request for a meeting; he was heading to the Verity headquarters to catch them before they could hide the evidence of the previous night.Victor felt a sharp sting of inadequacy when he thought of Grant Walker. If the Alpha of the West were here, Verity Holdings would already be ashes. Grant didn't negotiate; he eradicated. Victor, despite his power in the Prosp

"Are you absolutely certain Gabriel was the one who sent the signal?" Howard Pierce’s voice rumbled through the speaker, heavy with the quiet judgment that defined the Silverwood elders."He didn't just send a signal, Howard," I replied, staring at the darkened VTN ROOM screen. "He handed me a glass of Alpha’s Reserve that tasted like it was brewed in a witch’s cauldron. If I hadn't already suspected Brooke Caldwell was feeding them information to undermine my lead, I might have actually swallowed the whole thing.""And Grant Walker?" Howard pressed. "His scent was all over the Ridge Courtyard last night. People are talking, Mars. A Reed and a Walker in the same territory after the betrayal... it's a mess.""Grant is a complication I’m handling," I said, ending the call before the corporate elder could offer more 'advice' that sounded like a threat.I checked the time. The transition from the Pacific Crest Resort to the Walker Ridge Estate had been a blur of snowy roads and growling e

I knew the depth of the shadow my father had cast over my mother’s soul.Did I carry my own scars? You bet I did. My father hadn't just left; he had systematically bled our family dry, shifting our pack assets into hidden accounts and using psychological warfare to push my mother toward a breaking

When Grant emerged from his quarters, he had shed his formal Alpha regalia for a casual white tunic and loose trousers. The change was startling; he looked years younger, like a high-ranking initiate ready to blow off steam on the training grounds.I, however, was busy calculating my escape. Being

I propped myself up on my elbows, staring at him. "You’re saying I’m moving into the Ridge? Permanently?""Is there a dispute?" he asked, his voice level.There was a massive dispute. Moving in meant our lives would be completely entwined. Every time I finished a rotation at the Walker Enterprises

"I’m serious about this, Grant," I said, unable to mask the hunger in my voice. "Team 3 took a massive hit after the Westline Holdings disaster this cycle. Our end-of-year tributes and bonuses are basically non-existent. I see the SinoSuccess lands as our only path to redemption, and I want to be t
