Chapter 71

The east wing office in Jethro’s estate was quiet except for the occasional low hum of machines. The large screens cast their glow over walls lined with steel and reinforced glass. Jethro and Rashel had been recruited by the council as part of the team for their new project. And they were paired to work together on security strategies and programs.Rashel sat at the far end of the table, her tablet balanced on her knee, while her stylus moved swiftly as she made annotations on schematics. Jethro stood across from her on the other side of the table, one hand leaning against the back of a chair, the other resting on his hip. He was hunched over in concentration in front of a computer. The overhead lights cast silver streaks in his hair.He cleared his throat before speaking.

Chapter 72

The council chamber buzzed with conversation; the people within the walls were a symphony of power and politics.Rashel smoothed the front of her tailored jacket as she entered; Kael’s tiny bracelet, now serving as her silent talisman, felt warm in her pocket. She scanned the room, spotting and marking allies and potential threats with a practiced eye.Across the chamber, Seth stood near a window, speaking with an older delegate. When his eyes lifted and caught hers, he didn’t move toward her.He only inclined his head in a distant nod. A polite acknowledgement, nothing more.Relief spilled through her so quickly it startled her. For weeks she had dreaded confrontations and prepared herself for soft words or accusations, but tonight he kept his distance. She sighed again and turned away, forcing her attention to the council table.From the back of the chamber, Jethro watched the exchange. His tall frame stayed still, leaning against a column, arms folded across his chest. He seemed la

Chapter 73

Viola stood in the living room with her arms folded, watching Seth from across the room. He was seated on the edge of the couch, jacket tossed over the armrest, tie loosened. His shoulders were hunched while his phone lay on the coffee table.She had been watching him for weeks now. She saw how he came home late, how he seemed to drift even when sitting right beside her, and how his eyes got lost somewhere far away when he thought no one noticed.She had been holding off on speaking to him about it, but tonight, she couldn’t hold back anymore.“You’re always somewhere else even when you’re sitting right here.” She said suddenly, going to stand in front of Seth.“What?” Seth lifted his eyes, suddenly remembering where he was and trying to recall what she said.“See? You’re right here, but you’re not with me.” Viola said, moving closer, Her voice remained low, but it cracked with pain. “You’ve been like this for weeks!”He opened his mouth to speak, but then shut it without saying a wor

Chapter 74

The entire house was quiet, save for the sound of dishes clanking and water running. It was late, and most of the staff had retired to their quarters. The kitchen was the only brightly lit place in the entire house.Jethro stood at the counter, his sleeves rolled up and a dish towel draped over his shoulder. The stainless-steel counters gleamed under the bright light, and on one of them sat an elegant kettle, steam coming out in volumes from its spout. He’d measured the tea leaves carefully, one of the few tasks in his life that didn’t require strategy and logistics or trust. He poured water just off the boil, letting it seep into the leaves, producing a rich amber color and a soothing aroma.It had been years since he had done this. All his life, there had always been someone to handle small domestic thi

Chapter 75

Seth sat alone at his wide mahogany desk in his office; he turned off the screen tablet and placed his phone facedown, as though turning the screen away would stop the urge to pick it up. He sat with his elbows resting on the arms of his leather chair. The glass of whiskey was untouched save for the first gulp he took, and the ice cubes he had put in it had long melted. For days, he had fought the habit of scrolling through old pictures, letting old memories anchor him to Rashel. She was a ghost who lived in pixels and half-faded scents in the back of his mind. And he wasn’t a man who believed ghosts were real.He dragged his hand over his face and chastised himself. Enough, he told himself.The soft click of heels on the polished marble announced her before she appeared. Viola’s sweet perfume pr

Chapter 76

Rashel stepped through the arched double doors of the council hall with a confident stride. She was fast becoming a force to reckon with amongst top-performing Alphas and heads of districts. Her dark hair was tied into a bun behind her head, giving her a professional look.Jethro followed quietly behind her, exchanging pleasantries as they made their way to their reserved seats.Across the room, Seth stood near the huge windows with two other Alphas engrossed in conversation. But when Rashel crossed the threshold, he looked up instantly. For an instant, his chest tightened, the sight of her affecting him more than he expected. Even though he would have sworn he was over this.He turned back to his companions, forcing himself to focus on trade routes and supply chains and all the economic issues his companions seemed so invested in.Rashel caught sight of him from the corner of her eye, but her face remained neutral. She walked directly to her seat and set

Chapter 77

Rashel sat at her desk in Scepter Towers, going over the recent security reports brought to her table. She had just gotten off the phone with Charlene and Kael, her usual daily check-ins whenever she wasn’t at home. Jethro strolled into her office only a few minutes later wearing a look of mischief on his face.“You know, the rest of the staff are going to think something’s going on between us, the way you’re always in here.” Rashel teased.“Really?” He asked, drawing out the chair opposite her and settling his tall frame into it.“Yeah. Everyone’s going to think the Alpha is giving the head of security preferential treatment.” She continued seriously, even though her eyes held a twinkle of mischief.

Chapter 78

Viola walked into the cabin hesitantly, feeling beneath her shirt for the gun she had placed there. Merikh had demanded to see her at their little secret cabin, and for some reason, she didn’t feel like she could trust Merikh anymore, so she brought the gun with her. When she walked into the room, there was no Merikh, just an empty room that echoed her footsteps. She called out his name several times, but there was no response, so she decided to check outside.Immediately Viola turned, and she made contact with Merikh’s sturdy frame. He had his hands behind him and a smile on his face that didn’t quite reach his eyes.“Hello Vee.” Immediately after the words were out of his mouth, the smile disappeared.Viola shivered slightly.

Chapter 79

Viola woke with a start; the room was cool, but she was sweating profusely. Her phone buzzed beside her the moment she opened her eyes. She checked, and it was a message from Merikh.“I had a nice time today, Vee. I want to see you tomorrow.” Viola checked the time, and it was three o’clock in the morning. She rolled off the bed quietly so as not to wake Seth, who was asleep beside her.On her coat rack hung her silk robe; she put it on and quietly left the room, padding softly along the hallways and turning on a few lights as she went. She needed some water and maybe a few glasses of wine to shake the awful feeling Merikh’s text had brought. The house was completely quiet, and at the moment, it was bliss to Viola.In the kitchen, she decided she was going to make herself a sandwich, which she did and then wolfed it down with half a bottle of wine. It wasn’t until she settled herself on a couch in the living room after eati

Chapter 81

Jethro and Rashel had spent two days already out of their one-week getaway, and it was bliss. Rashel felt like she could finally breathe. She took Kael on walks within the Villa now that he could finally take multiple steps on his own, and when he was too tired, she carried him on her back the rest of the journey.It was afternoon when Jethro strolled into the suite he shared with Rashel; it was an executive suite with a living room area and two rooms. The room Charlene shared with Kael was just next to it.He found her curled up in the chair by the large window in the living room, playing with Kael. His heart softened when he saw Kael. It was amazing how the boy had an uncanny resemblance to him, even though he wasn’t the child’s father. He noticed a birthmark on Kael’s back that looked almost iden
