POPPY’S POV

The woman smiled and patted my shoulder.

"My name is Eleanor," she said. "Eleanor Roosevelt. And this is my daughter, Kiara."

She gestured to the younger one, who waved with both hands like we were old friends reuniting. "Kiara was hiking this morning and found you at the bottom of the east ridge. You were unconscious."

I looked at Kiara and she stepped forward, her face split into a grin.

"You were face down," Kiara started to ramble. "I thought you were dead. I actually sc

  • Sold to the Ruthless Alpha Billionaire    Chapter 60: Who are you?

    GREY'S POVThe camera light went off and I set down the script I hadn't used. I didn't need it. Talking to a camera wasn't difficult when you'd spent fifteen years making people believe exactly what you wanted them to believe. Penelope was already on her tablet. "I'll push it through the pack network first, then the wider city channels.”I nodded, steepling my fingers together. "Good. And the story?""Newlywed wife, overwhelmed after the wedding night incident, stepped out without telling anyone." She looked up. "I'll make sure it's the only version people hear."I leaned forward, my brows scrunched together. "Handle any outlet that tries to run something different.""Already have three on standby," she said. I nodded. "Go."She left but Cade remained where he was. I walked to my desk and picked up the next file but Cade stayed still. I sighed and waved at him dismissively. “Out with it.”"The council contacted me an hour ago," he said instantly. "They want an emergency meeting."

  • Sold to the Ruthless Alpha Billionaire    Chapter 59: Ghost from the Past

    POPPY’S POVThe taxi smelled like pine air freshener and the driver had been talking since I got in. I didn't mind. Silence would have made me think too hard."... and then my sister-in-law shows up to the wedding in white. White!” He huffed, shaking his head vigorously. “Can you imagine? My wife hasn't forgiven her to this day and that was six years ago!”"Wow," I said, which was the fifth time I had said it."Six years! Women remember everything, I tell you." He glanced at me in the rearview mirror. My cap was pulled low and the sunglasses were big enough to cover half my face. If he thought it was strange, he hadn't mentioned it. "So what about you? You said you're heading to the border?"I bobbed my head. "Yes."He nodded then grinned. "Running away with someone?”I blinked."I'm not judging," he said quickly. "My cousin did the same thing. Family didn't approve of the girl, so one night…" He snapped his fingers. "Gone. They have three kids now. Beautiful family.""Something li

  • Sold to the Ruthless Alpha Billionaire    Chapter 58: Broken Contract

    GREY'S POVI had booked the clinic out for the day and then made every staff member swear confidentiality.The waiting area was eerily quiet except for the hum of the AC and Annalise sitting across from me with her hands folded in her lap, pretending to look calm.I scrolled through my emails with nonchalance."Did you have to do it like this?" she said finally.I shot her a glance. "Like what?""Book out the entire clinic.” She hissed, then shook her head. “It's humiliating."I returned my gaze to my phone. “Maybe you've forgotten but we're both married to different people, Annalise. I can't afford a scandal.” She went quiet. Just as the doctor came, I stood and shook his hand."Thank you for accommodating this," I said. "I know it was short notice.""Not at all." He glanced briefly at Annalise, then back to me. "Is she the one?” I bobbed my head. “How soon can I get the result?”“Before the end of today,” he said, then turned to gesture for his nurses. “Take her to the exam room.”

  • Sold to the Ruthless Alpha Billionaire    Chapter 57: Silver Eyes

    POPPY’S POVGrey wasn't home but the moment I told Cade everything, he immediately pulled out his phone then called out for Penelope and Lana."Lock down the east wing," he said into his phone, already walking. "I want you to pull the CCTV from the last three hours and get someone on the perimeter check now."Penelope arrived two minutes later, slightly out of breath, and wrapped both arms around me before she even fully entered the room."I've got you," she said. "You're okay."I held onto her, still holding the card even though my hands hadn't fully stopped shaking.Lana came in behind her and took one long look at me. “I heard what happened. Are you okay?”I shook my head and sucked in a sharp breath. She patted my shoulder just as Cade returned, his brows furrowed together."Tell me exactly what happened," he said. "Walk me through it."I nodded and I told him about coming upstairs, kicking off my shoes, lying down and finding the envelope. I told him I had thought it was from Pe

  • Sold to the Ruthless Alpha Billionaire    Chapter 56: What's Your Problem?

    POPPY’S POVGrey's body went stiff the moment Edric said the words ‘unfinished business’. Whatever it meant, it was something serious. I looked at Edric then back at Grey.What just happened? "Continue what you were doing," Grey said, and his voice was perfectly normal.He wasn't looking at me. He was half-turned toward Edric, already moving. "We'll talk later."And then he just left.I stood in the middle of the training ground holding my staff and watched the two of them walk away.And I had absolutely no idea what to do with the feeling sitting in my chest. I stood there for another ten seconds. Then I put the staff down and followed them.I made it approximately forty feet before Penelope jumped right in front of me, nearly scaring me half to death. “Dammit, Penny!” I gasped, pressing a hand to my chest. “You nearly gave me a heart attack.”She ignored me, gathering my hands together and squeezing. "You missed breakfast again. Poppy, you cannot keep skipping meals, your body n

  • Sold to the Ruthless Alpha Billionaire    Chapter 55: Unfinished Business

    GREY'S POVThe council meeting was giving me a headache before it even properly started.Twelve people talking at once will do that."... completely unacceptable that Blackhawk operatives were able to infiltrate a secured event!”"... the perimeter protocols clearly failed and someone needs to answer for it!""... at a wedding of all places!”I sat at the head of the table and let them go for exactly three minutes. That was my limit. After three minutes, I pressed two fingers to my temple and said, loudly enough to cut through the noise. "One at a time." I gave them a hard look. “Please.” They fell silent and I sighed. The truth was I was just as angry as they were. More, probably, because it was my wedding and my security that had failed. Three Blackhawk operatives loose in a hotel full of pack leaders and their families was not a small thing. The fact that we contained it before anyone important got hurt was the only reason I was sitting in this room instead of burning somethi

    GREY'S POV“We want you to know that what happened last night was entirely Metz's fault.” Breslow finally broke the silence, while Harlan nodded beside him, trying to look calm. I could see the tension on his face. The private room at the back of the hotel was quiet and secluded. It was one of

    POPPY’S POVI had developed a new skill in the last several hours.Dissociation.I read about it once, in a psychology article I skimmed without much interest because I assumed it was something that happened to other people. The mind stepped outside itself when the body couldn't leave. Also known
