GREY’S POV

"Two days," I growled, slamming my fist on the table. "Two days and you're standing in front of me with nothing."

Cade cleared his throat, shifting nervously. “The Blackhawks don't have a fixed territory. We're still trying to track the traces of—”

"Then we're too slow." I snapped, pointing an accusing finger at him.

He cleared his throat again. "We're moving as fast as we can.”

"Too slow, Cade." I turned away from him, my jaw clenching hard. "The wedding was supposed to be yesterd

    GREY’S POVAnna Blake had been talking for eleven minutes without stopping. "... and the floral arrangement on the east aisle follows the same ivory and gold palette, which I think you'll agree with and then of course the centrepieces and then…" She turned and spread both arms wide with the energy of someone revealing a magic trick. "The doves." I looked at the cages. There were twelve of them stacked in pairs. And the sight of white birds cooing against the afternoon light made my brows furrow. "I didn't ask for doves," I pointed out, turning to her. "You said…" She pulled out her tablet, scrolled, turned it to face me. "And I'm quoting directly… 'Anna, I don't care, just make it look like a wedding.'" I stared at her and she stared back, unflinching. The woman had been in this industry for twenty years and she had clearly stopped being intimidated by anyone. "The doves have to stay," she said, and moved on before I could respond. I followed her through the venue with

  • Sold to the Ruthless Alpha Billionaire    Chapter 49: The Lesson

    POPPY’S POVThe mansion swallowed us the moment we stepped through the doors. Grey's hand clamped around my wrist, his fingers digging into my flesh. He didn't let go, not when the butler murmured a greeting or even when a female servant rushed in behind us, asking if there was anything she could do. He carried me down the hallway, past the grand foyer and into my room. The moment we were inside, he locked the door and turned to me, crossing his arms against his chest. "Strip," he commanded in that low voice that made my knees weak and my stomach clench. He was already unbuttoning his cuffs, rolling the crisp white fabric up his forearms as the muscles in his arms flexed. I couldn't look away. “Grey.” "I said strip, Poppy." He gave me a stern look. My hands moved before my brain caught up and soon, the dress pooled around my feet. My bra followed, then my panties, until I stood naked before him, my skin prickling with goosebumps despite the warmth of the room. "Goo

    POPPY’S POVThe spa was beautiful with pale stone and the kind of ambient music that made me instantly feel welcome. The woman at the front recognized Penelope immediately and greeted us with genuine warmth, taking my hands and saying she had been looking forward to this appointment. I relaxed, even started to enjoy it. Penelope was talking. She had opinions about the menu, treatment rooms and the type of towel being warmer than the ones at the last place she tried. The staff were used to her, smiling and responding with patient grace. Penelope cleared her throat and turned to me. “Well, I'm glad that's out of the way now. We can get—” “Is our future Luna?” A very familiar voice cooed and my entire body stiffened as Elder Marsh walked toward us. Even Penelope had a frown on her face and stepped forward to block her but the old woman was faster. She took my hands and squeezed. “My dearest, I am so glad to see you back. I prayed every single night, we all did, and I just

  • Sold to the Ruthless Alpha Billionaire    Chapter 47: Morning with Him

    POPPY'S POVWhen I woke up, Grey was still there and I nearly jerked in surprise. I wasn't expecting that. I had half-convinced myself during the night that he would slip out the moment I was properly asleep, leaving me with just a dent in the mattress and his usual brand of emotional whiplash. But no. He was there, sleeping on his back with one arm still hooked around me like he had forgotten to let go.I didn't move. I just looked at him. It wasn't something I got to do often. I couldn't study his face without that sharp gaze cutting back at me. He looked younger asleep and the line of his jaw was still ridiculous, obviously, because the universe was unfair like that.And his lashes were so dark and long and full. Even his mouth was…Okay. I needed to stop.The problem was that somewhere between not moving and definitely not staring, my body had apparently made a series of decisions without consulting me. My heart was doing something stupid and my skin felt too warm. There was

  • Sold to the Ruthless Alpha Billionaire    Chapter 46: Doesn't mean Anything 

    POPPY’S POV“No. No. No!”The word kept leaving my lips as I raced through the forest, my heart thrashing in my chest. I couldn't afford to look back, already knowing what would happen. But the sound of a piercing howl caught my attention and I turned back. My leg twisted immediately and a pained grunt left my throat. I could hear paws thudding on the dirt and the white wolf barreled towards me. The sight of those haunting red eyes made me freeze and a scream tore from my throat. I jerked awake, my chest drumming too fast for me. My eyes flew over the dimly lit room and I realized that I was back in Grey's mansion. “You're safe.” I whispered even as I trembled. “I'm safe. No one can touch me.”I repeated it until my heartbeat believed me, which took longer than I wanted to admit.It was becoming a routine. This same dream over and over again, I had no idea what it meant. The time read 2:45, which made sense since the sky through the window was still dark. I was sweating, my tan

    POPPY’S POVHe was standing with his arms folded and an angry expression on his face. The driver from the car was beside him and there was a bandage around the ear where I had bitten him. Good."You," Olly growled once he spotted me. "Do you have any idea what you fucking cost us?" He stepped forward and I staggered back but the maids kept their hands on my arm. “You're lucky we aren't supposed to touch you.” He hissed as he wrapped his fingers around my throat. I tipped my chin. “I should have done worse.” “You bitch—” "That's enough!” Eleanor snapped. "Kiara will be back by four. I want all of you out of here before then." She didn't even spare me a look and I was filled with so much anger that I shook from it. "Fine," Olly grumbled, and snatched my arm. “Let's go, princess.” He pushed me towards the door and I stumbled after him. The driver was grumbling something underneath his breath and I felt the urge to cry again. When I looked back, Eleanor was instructi
