Ethan carried me outside. I could hear Vincent trying to calm everyone down, but Ethan slammed the door shut. “Grace!” He kept his hands on my arms until I steadied myself. “You can’t be taking his side!” I yelled with tears in my eyes. Ethan’s eyes searched mine before his hand turned my face. “I’m not blaming you. However, provoking him is not going to help. He is going to do things how he wants, regardless of what we want. You need to let me handle your dad. He will respect me more than he will you.” “That’s not how it should be.” “No, but you grew up with him. You know what his triggers were, but now that he isn’t an alpha anymore, it’s different.” Ethan finally let go of my face and pulled me into a hug. “Let’s just do what he wants. I’ll keep my eye out for anything that seems out of place. For now, we just need to go with the flow. I’m outnumbered here.” “Fine. Ethan, I got to tell you something.” Ethan noticed how uncomfortable and uneasy I felt. He let me go and looked

Isaac didn’t need telling twice. His long stride didn’t take long for him to run out of his office. However, I was already working on what I needed to. Though, I had two screens open. The first one was downloading all the deleted folders. The backup hadn’t run, so there was still a shit ton of stuff sitting there. The other one was doing what my father wanted me to do. The hacker couldn’t hide from me here. “You need to give me some time.” I told Vincent as my hands flew across the keypad. “What’s up?” He walked around. Hoping he wouldn’t notice to second tab, I kept going. “I found his footprints and I need to follow him. He was in many different folders, so I am cleaning it as I go. Distract them.” Ethan walked up and put his hand on my shoulder. My body instantly relaxed into his hand. Right on cue, there was a knock on the door. “Fine.” Vincent moved away from me, allowing me to breath. Switching screens, I check the time that was left.“How long is this going to take?” Vincent

As soon as I tried to look back, it was gone. Still, I swear it was him. “Evie?” Travis nudged me, bringing my attention back to him. He was handing my a plate of food. “Oh, thanks.” I said, taking it but my mind was still at the door. “Can you guys hang on for a second?” Without waiting for an answer, I set my plate down and practically ran to the front door. There wasn’t a plan in my head or what I was going to do when I got there, but I ran. Pushing the door open, my body flew into the street. No one was there. An empty dark street with rain filling up the low spots. The lightning occasionally showed me something new to look at. Just as I was about to turn around, headlights turned down the street. Slowly, it creeped down the street until it was across the alley. I couldn’t take my eyes off the car, but the door opened. “Ev? If you wanted to get away from him, all you have to do is ask.” Max walking out and lit a cigarette at the same time. Ignoring him, my eyes stayed locked

My words got stuck in my throat as I looked around. Camera’s flashed in my eyes. The reporters were anxiously waiting for me to speak as they held up their microphones. I realized that I wasn’t going to like being in the public eye. “You got this.” Ethan pushed some confidence into me. Taking a deep breath, I kept my back straight and started talking. “Years ago, I founded this business as a way to focus my creative side. Programing has always been something that I have excelled at. I have spent years designing and shaping G. Anderson Security to provide the best possible system for all businesses. Those who have been with me for years can confirm my quarterly upgrades. Constantly upgrading allows me to stay on top of any cyber breeches, holes and the use of additional technological advances. In the entire history of G. Anderson Security, there hasn’t been a single failure that has resulted in a loss of life or revenue. The reason my identity was kept under wraps was simply because

“Come on. I’ll give you a ride back to our pack.” Dad motioned for us to head towards the car he drove up in. “Really?” I asked, as Ethan guided me down the sidewalk. It wasn’t like we had a choice. “What about Zeke?” “What about him?” “I want to stop at their house quickly. There are those clothes I want to get.” I half lied. I didn’t really care about the clothes, but I wanted to speak with them. “Fine, but make it quick. I got shit to do.” Dad slammed his door shut as Ethan opened the back door for me. Vincent got in the passenger seat and Ethan slid in beside me. The entire ride back to Zeke’s house was silent. Vincent was tapping the center consol to a tune that I couldn’t place. “What do you need at Zeke’s house?” Ethan mind-linked me. “I want them to know they can have a safe place in our pack if they need to leave.” Ethan didn’t respond, but nodded in agreement. I wasn’t sure I knew who my dad was anymore. Maybe I am just seeing another side of him that I didn’t know. He
