Claimed By The Steel Pack The Road to Sterling
The drive down into the city took forty minutes through a heavy rain that turned the highway into a wall of gray water.Kaelen drove the black truck himself, his hands locked onto the wheel. He didn't say a word the whole way, but the air inside was thick with a dark, heavy heat that made my skin prickle. Beside me on the leather seat sat the brown folder with Sterling’s signature on the hospital transfer order, right next to the bank numbers Greta had written in her own ledger.I looked over at Kaelen’s profile, the hard cut of his jaw, his mouth set in a thin line, his gray eyes locked on the road ahead."Sterling's private place is in the hills behind the capital," I said, breaking the long silence. "If he has state troopers on his detail, they won't open the gates for a casual visit.""They'll let us through," Kaelen said, his voice a low rumble. "Marcus pulled three of Sterling's main donors off the board two hours ago. Sterling knows the ground is moving under his feet. He'
Claimed By The Steel Pack Cold Blood
The rain came back hard by noon, heavy and ruthless, pounding against the tall glass of the south wing like buckshot.Marcus slammed three heavy steel lockboxes onto my desk, the metal clattering hard enough to rattle my laptop against the oak. Rainwater dripped off his tactical jacket onto the floor, filling the small room with the sharp smell of iron, wet mud, and cold wolf."Greta’s second vault," Marcus grunted, wiping a smear of dark grease off his bruised jaw with the back of his hand. "Found it buried under the floorboards down at her safehouse by the docks. Her private ledgers are inside. Everything she used to buy off the local precinct, the state prosecutors, and half the board."I pulled the top lockbox closer and popped the heavy brass latch. Inside lay thick leather notebooks packed with tight handwriting, alongside a stack of encrypted thumb drives. I flipped to the first page of the top ledger, my eyes running over names, dates, and payout amounts going back seven y
Claimed By The Steel Pack The Morning After
The light coming through the high library windows was gray and cold, cutting through the heavy curtains just after dawn.I woke up with my head resting against Kaelen’s chest, the fire from last night burned down to soft white ash in the hearth. His arm was locked tight around my waist, keeping me pinned against him while his chest rose and fell in a slow, deep rhythm. The heavy leather blanket had slipped down to his hip, exposing the long, fading scar running down his ribs.I moved slightly, trying to shift my leg out from under his, but his grip tightened instantly, even in his sleep."Going somewhere?" he muttered, his voice a rasp right against my ear."My foot is asleep," I said, my voice dry from the cool morning air.Kaelen opened one eye, his dark gray iris catching the faint morning light. A slow smile tugged at the corner of his mouth before he shifted his weight, loosening his hold enough for me to sit up."It's six in the morning," he said, turning onto his back an
Claimed By The Steel Pack The Fire in the Hearth
By nine that night, the fog from the woods had crept right up to the glass doors of the main house.The ground floor was quiet for the first time since I had walked through the front gates. The guards had gone down to the lower barracks, Marcus was off finishing the border reports, and the endless hum of the security alarms had finally been shut off.I sat on the big leather sofa in the estate's private library, wrapped in an oversized dark sweater, my bare feet tucked under me. A fire was burning low in the stone hearth, throwing long shadows across the bookshelves. On the small table beside me sat my laptop, its screen dark. For the first time in months, there were no numbers to run, no bank accounts to trace, and no emergency alerts popping up.The heavy wood door opened, and Kaelen walked in.He had taken off his boots and left his sweater somewhere down the hall, wearing just a plain gray t-shirt and dark trousers. His hair was still damp from the shower, falling slightly ov
Claimed By The Steel Pack The Boundary Line
The rain stopped around five in the afternoon, leaving the pine woods around the estate dripping wet and thick with fog.Kaelen and I walked down the narrow gravel trail leading toward the south fence. The air smelled like crushed needles, damp earth, and clean mountain wind. For the first time in months, Kaelen wasn't wearing a suit, just a dark wool sweater, thick jeans, and heavy boots that crunched quietly against the wet stones.I walked beside him, my hands shoved deep into the pockets of my coat. My knuckles were still tender, but the dull ache in my back had finally settled into a manageable stiffness.Up ahead, where the gravel path met the trees, Marcus stood beside two young guards. They were hauling rusted wire off heavy wooden posts, dropping the coils into the bed of an old pickup truck with loud metallic clangs."That's the last of Greta's fence line," Marcus called out as we came up, wiping sweat off his forehead with his sleeve. The dark bruise on his cheek was a
Claimed By The Steel Pack The South Wing
The south wing of the estate smelled like fresh pine, white paint, and cold rain coming through the open terrace doors.By three in the afternoon, two pack guys had finished hauling up the heavy oak desk and three steel filing cabinets from the lower storeroom. They worked fast and quiet, nodding to me every time they passed through the double doors. The old fear that used to hang around the house was gone, replaced by a steady, working calm.I sat behind the wide wood desk, my laptop open beside two thick stacks of account books. My fingers moved fast across the keys, setting up the new server system that would run every dollar of Blackwood Logistics through a clean ledger.A shadow fell across the doorway.Marcus stood there, leaning his shoulder against the frame. He had a clean white bandage taped across his left jaw, and his right eye was still swollen a dark purple, but he moved without the limp he had this morning. He carried a heavy metal toolbox in one hand and a stack o
