Sloane's POV

The executive floor remained unusually quiet after Mason Carter finally left the building.

Even so, I couldn't shake the uneasy feeling he'd left behind.

It clung to me like a shadow.

"I'm fine."

Lucien looked at me as though I had just said the most ridiculous thing he'd ever heard.

"I didn't ask."

His calm reply only irritated me further.

"I can take care of myself."

"I never said you couldn't."

"Then why are you insisting I stay on this floor?"

We stood in the hallway outside th

  • Chosen By The Alpha, Bound By Desire   The Hidden Network

    Sloane's POVBy the time I reached the front entrance of the Alpha's residence, the morning air was still cool enough to carry the scent of pine through the courtyard.I expected another trip to Blackstone Company.After everything I'd witnessed yesterday, I had spent half the night replaying every conversation, every expression, every tiny detail I could remember. There were still so many questions I wanted answered, especially about how Lucien managed an empire that seemed to extend far beyond the pack itself.So when Lucien stepped outside dressed in another perfectly tailored black suit, I instinctively moved toward the waiting SUV."You won't be coming with me today."I stopped mid-step."What?"His expression remained calm, but I recognized the firmness in his voice."Ryan has prepared a different schedule for you."I frowned."I thought we were continuing my training at Blackstone.""We are," he replied, "just not today."He adjusted the cuff of his jacket before meeting my eye

  • Chosen By The Alpha, Bound By Desire   The Traitor in Their Midst 

    Lucien's POVWe were about to get into the car when one of the security guards walked up to me with a frown on his face.He looked worried and from his expression, I could tell there was a problem. “What is it?” I asked and immediately he stretched out his hand and gave me a file.“We have successfully gone through the footage and some files relating to the border, and a particular elder's name keeps coming up.” He said.“Whose name?” I asked, turning to look at Ryan, but within me, I already knew who we were dealing with.“I don't think it is right for me to disclose the name here. Please head to the security department and find out what they have.” I nodded at once and got into the car.“So what do you think?” Sloane asked after a minute of silence.I sighed tiredly and looked out of the window. “I think I know who the elder is, and if I am correct, I will have to do an intense investigation and a proper way of bringing him in to face the law," I replied.I heard Ryan snorting, and

  • Chosen By The Alpha, Bound By Desire   An Unwelcome Guest

    Lucien's POVThe moment Mason Carter walked into the conference room, every pleasant thought I'd entertained since arriving at the company vanished.His tailored charcoal suit and polished shoes couldn't hide what he truly was.A predator.Ryan stopped arranging the meeting files and looked at me from the corner of his eye."I was hoping the report was wrong," he muttered."So was I."Mason smiled as though we were old friends."Alpha."I acknowledged him with nothing more than a cold stare."My father sends his apologies," Mason continued smoothly. "An urgent council matter prevented him from attending.""I wasn't asking for an explanation."His smile remained firmly in place."I've been authorized to represent Elder Theodore today."Of course he had.Theodore knew exactly what he was doing.Yesterday, I had thrown his son into the dungeon.Today, he had found the only legal way to force me into the same room with him.Ryan leaned closer."We verified it with the Elder's office.""I

  • Chosen By The Alpha, Bound By Desire   Learning the Alpha's World

    Sloane's POVThe first thing I noticed when I woke up was warmth; the second was that the warmth belonged to Lucien.My eyes flew open, and his arm was still draped around my waist, his breathing steady against the back of my neck. For one embarrassing second, I stayed perfectly still, wondering how I had managed to spend the entire night in his arms again.This is becoming a terrible habit. Very carefully, I tried lifting his arm, but it didn't budge. I tried again, and I let out a frustrated sigh."I know you're awake." His sleepy voice startled me enough that I nearly elbowed him in the ribs."I am not trying to escape," I muttered."No?""No.""Then why are you wrestling with my arm?" He asked as I frowned."Because it's heavy," I replied truthfully. A chuckle rumbled behind me. "I'll take that as a compliment." He said as I turned to glare at him."It wasn't."His eyes finally opened, amusement dancing in them. "You stayed.""I fell asleep.""In my arms.""Purely accidental," I r

  • Chosen By The Alpha, Bound By Desire   Safe Haven

    Sloane's POVRyan excused himself the moment we arrived, claiming he had reports to finish before nightfall, leaving Lucien and me walking side by side toward the mansion.Neither of us spoke and I still couldn't stop thinking about what had happened in court.An Alpha had objected and the elders had overruled him. Mason had walked free.The image of his smile made my stomach twist and without realizing it, I wrapped my arms around myself."You've been quiet." Lucien's voice broke through my thoughts. "I've just been thinking.""I know." I glanced at him. "You do?""You've been wearing the same expression since we left the council chamber." I sighed. "I just don't understand.""What?""If you're the Alpha... why couldn't you stop them?" He was silent for a long moment before answering."Being Alpha doesn't mean I make every decision alone.""It looked like they ignored you.""They challenged me.""Isn't that worse?" A small smile tugged at his lips. "Sometimes." We climbed the steps
