I find myself leaning forward despite my wariness, drawn by the practical benefits he's outlining. Each name in the portfolio represents capabilities I desperately need—the kind of expertise that could unravel Derek's carefully constructed financial web before he realizes I've discovered his scheme.

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 201

    The waiter—silent, efficient—delivers the check in its leather folder. Lucas reaches for it, but I intercept, fingers landing on his. The touch is more electric than it should be. For a second, neither of us moves. “Please,” I say. “This was my invitation.” His eyes flick up, amusement or challeng

    He nods, the answer immediate. “Constantly. But it beats the alternative.” I sip my wine, then set it down. “What’s the alternative?” “Letting people see who you really are,” he says, and this time the smile is real, the sharp edges softened. The main course arrives—pasta for him, grilled fish fo

    I give a half-smile. “You’re late,” I reply, though he isn’t. I check the watch on my wrist, just to sell it. “Two minutes past.” He glances at his own, a subtle flex of wrist. “My mistake. I’ll punish myself accordingly.” The waitress arrives—dark hair in a knot, a tattooed forearm—and pours him

    “I need to change out of this,” I say, plucking at the suit. The fabric is creased, still damp from the earlier sprint, and smells faintly of bleach and sweat. “Give me twenty minutes?” Lucas glances at his watch. “Make it thirty. You could use the time.” He’s right, and I don’t argue. “Meet you i

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 197

    It’s not quite dark, but the city is already closing up shop. The suite is a luminous cave above the rain—office lights gone to skeleton crew, security desk unmanned, and the cleaning staff fled to lower floors by the threat of thunder. I linger in the doorway, shoulder pressed to the frame, watchin

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 196

    “Why didn’t you tell me?” He glances up, the green in his eyes gone dark in the morning shadow. “Would you have believed me?” I want to say yes, but we both know the answer. I sip my coffee, taste the lemon, and let the bitterness set in. There’s a comfort in the ritual: evidence, analysis, the s

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 12

    I let them watch my lips on the crystal glass, as if that momentary union might yield some secret they can grasp at. The water is cool on my tongue, a contrast to the dry heat that thickens the room and everything in it. It carries the faint taste of minerals, the texture smooth and sliding, an in

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 11

    It's the friction that keeps us warm in the growing heat of the room, friction between minds and egos, between all we project and all we desire. The temperature rises with the stakes, the glass walls reflecting back our ambition until it feels as if we're caught in a pressure cooker of our own maki

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 10

    I let them watch me as I unfurl into motion, as I take my time, a tigress stretching beneath a lazy sun. The documents make a soft, lethal sound as they hit the glass, echoing back to fill the silence. These papers are my arsenal, my map to the battlefield I will carve from this sterile room. I ar

  • Howl for Justice    Chapter 9

    The air thrums with ambition, the kind that leaves marks like teeth on skin. I step into the boardroom, a half dozen pairs of eyes pulling toward me as if gravity's force has just shifted. The glass walls loom like a watchful sky, reflections doubling back on themselves, encasing us in a tower of ou
