BLOODBOUND: The Wolf, The King and The Killer 172
Colt's POV I climbed the pull-down ladder to the garage attic and flipped on the single bulb that swung from the rafter. The place smelled like oil, dust, and old leather, exactly what I needed after the last forty-eight hours of flights, boardrooms, and pack drama. My motorcycle sat in pieces across the tarp-covered floor, half-assembled from the last time I tore it down for a tune-up. Tools were scattered everywhere, sockets in coffee cans, wrenches lined up like soldiers. I needed this. The focus. The grease under my nails. The roar that drowned out everything else. I rolled up my sleeves, grabbed the torque wrench, and started bolting the new exhaust manifold into place. The metal was cold, satisfying. Click, turn, click, turn. My mind went blank in the best way. Footsteps creaked on the ladder behind me. I didn’t look up until arms slid around my waist from behind and a chin hooked over my shoulder. “Thanks,” Declan said quietly against my back. I paused mid-turn. “For wha

Nikolai's POV I hit the airport exit at ninety miles an hour, tires chirping as I took the curve too fast. The clock on the dash read 5:47 a.m. and I still had twenty minutes before Killian and Colt’s flight landed. I hadn’t slept. I’d been up all night watching the guild’s encrypted channel like a hawk and pacing the war room while Rhett pretended to read reports and actually just growled at the walls. I parked crooked across two spaces in the short-term lot and jogged inside, hoodie up, coffee in one hand, phone in the other. The arrivals board said ON TIME. Good. I found a spot by the international gate and waited, bouncing on the balls of my feet like a kid. The second the doors slid open and I saw Killian’s dark head above the crowd I broke into a stupid grin. He spotted me, dropped his bag, and I was across the space in three strides. I slammed into him hard enough to lift him off his feet, arms around his neck, mouth on his before he could even say hello. He laughed into t
BLOODBOUND: The Wolf, The King and The Killer 170
Colt's POV I adjusted my cufflinks in the mirror of the hotel suite and checked the knot of my tie one last time. Black suit, crisp white shirt, no tie clip, just the way Killian liked it when we wanted to look expensive and dangerous. He was already at the door, hands in his pockets, looking calm as death. “Ready?” he asked. “Born ready,” I said, flashing the grin that got me out of more fights than it started. We walked into the private dining room at The Langham like we owned the place. The maître d’ tried to stop us, saw the look on Killian’s face, and stepped aside without a word. Smart man. The room went quiet the second we crossed the threshold. Adrian Wilder was at the head of the table, mid-sentence, wine glass halfway to his lips. The Meridian executives flanked him, all suits and nervous smiles. The moment Adrian’s eyes landed on Killian the glass froze. “Killian,” he said, voice flat. Killian smiled like a shark. “Adrian. Fancy seeing you here.” I stepped up besi

Declan's POV I sat on the floor of the old archive room with my back against a shelf of crumbling ledgers and my laptop balanced on my knees. The only light came from the screen and a single candle I wasn’t supposed to have. I typed the cipher I hadn’t used in four years, fingers moving on muscle memory alone. Matteo, Parley requested. Old laws. Neutral ground. One hour of words, no blades. Name the place. — D I hit send and watched the little encrypted packet disappear into the dark web relay. My heart was beating too hard, but I kept my breathing steady. Old habits. Three minutes later the reply blinked onto the screen. Little wolf returns. Midnight. The abandoned church at Harrow Crossing. Come alone or the offer dies. — M I stared at the words until they blurred. Harrow Crossing was two hours south, right on the edge of no-man’s-land between pack territories. Perfect neutral ground. Also perfect place to disappear forever if this went wrong. I closed the laptop a

Nikolai's POV I pushed open Rhett’s office door without knocking and found him standing at the window, arms crossed, staring out at the city like he could set it on fire with his mind. Declan was right behind me, laptop under one arm, coffee in the other hand, looking like he hadn’t slept since Killian and Colt left for London. “Three investors just sent withdrawal notices,” I said, dropping the printed emails on his desk. “They’re spooked by the Meridian loss. Want to pull their commitments before the next round closes.” Rhett turned slowly. His eyes were flat gold. “Names.” “Hargrave Group, Chen Capital, and the Meridian side-fund that was supposed to stay quiet.” I tapped the stack. “All citing ‘reputational risk’ after the news hit.” Declan set his coffee down. “It’s a domino. If one more jumps, the whole round could collapse.” Rhett picked up the emails, scanned them, then let them fall back to the desk. “Get them all on a call. Today. Every single one who’s wavering. We’r
BLOODBOUND: The Wolf, The King and The Killer 167
Killian's POV I was halfway through a sandwich when my phone started vibrating so hard it walked itself off the desk. Unknown international number. I answered with mustard still on my fingers. “Killian Reed.” The voice on the other end belonged to Marcus, our London branch director, and he sounded like someone had kicked his dog and stolen his car. “Killian, the Meridian contract is gone. Signed with Adrian Wilder Corporation this morning. They undercut us by twelve percent and promised delivery six weeks early. The board over here is panicking.” I dropped the sandwich. “Repeat that.” “Adrian Wilder. They swooped in last night, wined and dined the client, and we just got the termination notice. It’s done.” I was already moving. “Stay calm. Do not talk to press. I’m on my way.” I hung up and sprinted down the hall, phone still in my hand. Rhett’s door was open. He was on a call, feet up on the desk, laughing about something with Declan on speaker. The second he saw my face th
