CHAPTER 81

MEGAN'S POVThe minutes tick by, and I find myself glancing at the entrance more and more frequently.Ten minutes past the official start time.Then fifteen.Then forty.And still, no one's arrived."Where is everyone?" I mutter under my breath, my pulse starting to quicken.Caitlin's beside me, her tablet in her hand, scrolling through the guest list. "I don't know, ma'am. Everyone's confirmed. They should be here by now.""Maybe traffic?" Vance suggests, though his tone lacks conviction."At this hour?" I counter, shaking my head. "No. Something's wrong."Alpha Elias steps closer, his expression turning serious. "Megan, take a breath. I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation."But I can see the concern in his eyes too.Because this isn't normal.Seventy confirmed guests, and not a single one has shown up?That doesn't just happen.My hands curl into fists at my sides, and I force myself to stay calm even though my heart's pounding now."Caitlin, call some of the guests," I instruct

CHAPTER 82

XARION'S POVI adjust my tie in the backseat of the car, checking my reflection in the window as my driver navigates through the city streets.The suit's perfectly tailored, jet black with subtle silver pinstripes, paired with a crisp white shirt and well-polished black leather shoes.I look good. Professional. Like an Alpha who knows exactly what he's doing.Even if, deep down, I'm not entirely sure this is the smartest move I've ever made."Are you sure about this?" Andrew's voice breaks through my thoughts from the passenger seat. He twists around to look at me, one eyebrow raised skeptically. "You're really going to show up at Stone Corporation's branch launch? Your competition?""Yes," I reply simply, brushing down the front of my jacket."Xarion," he presses, his tone more pointed now. "This is literally a celebration for a company that would now be eating into your market share. You do realize how this looks, right?""I don't care how it looks," I counter evenly, meeting his ey

CHAPTER 83

MEGAN'S POVI’m standing near Vance, my arms crossed tightly over my chest as panic coils in my gut, my mind spiraling through worst-case scenarios.This launch is a disaster.A complete and utter disaster.All those months of planning, all the sleepless nights, all the stress and effort I poured into making this perfect, and it's all falling apart because of some faceless coward who decided to sabotage me.I want to lose it. I want to find whoever did this and make them regret it.But instead, I'm standing here frozen, my mind racing through options that all feel equally useless."Maybe we should just cancel," I mutter, more to myself than to Vance. "Cut our losses. Reschedule for another day."Vance turns to me, his expression firm as he places his hand on my shoulder. "Megan, no. We're not giving up yet. We still have time.""Time for what?" I counter bitterly, gesturing around the empty venue. "No one's coming, Vance. Whoever did this made sure of that."He opens his mouth to resp

CHAPTER 84

MEGAN'S POVAlpha Elias leads the way, and Vance and I follow closely behind as we head toward the crowd of guests.The first Alpha we meet is a tall, broad-shouldered man with silver streaks in his dark hair and an air of authority that practically radiates off him."Alpha Elias," he greets warmly, shaking his hand. "Good to see you. I'm Mr. Walter, Alpha of the Ironwood Pack.""Likewise. Thank you so much for coming," Alpha Elias replies smoothly, then motions toward me. "Please, meet Megan Pierce. She's the one responsible for all of this."The Alpha turns his attention to me, his eyes sweeping over the venue before landing back on my face. "Impressive work, Ms. Pierce. Very impressive.""Thank you," I reply, my smile genuine now. "I appreciate that.""No, really," he insists, his tone sincere. "This venue is stunning. And the presentation materials I've seen so far are top-notch. You've clearly put a lot of thought into this."My chest swells with pride despite the chaos of the pa

CHAPTER 85

XARION'S POVI've been standing in the corner of the venue for the past two hours, my dark shades doing just enough to keep me from drawing too much attention.Andrew's beside me, arms crossed, occasionally throwing me side glances like he's waiting for me to do something reckless.Which, to be fair, I probably will.But right now, I'm focused entirely on her.Megan.She's been moving through the crowd all evening, smiling, shaking hands, accepting compliments with that gracious, confident energy that makes my heart swell with pride.She looks stunning in that scarlet dress, her hair framing her face perfectly, and every time she laughs, I feel it in my damn bones.This is her moment and I'm proud of her.So damn proud.She pulled this off. Despite the sabotage, despite the chaos, she made it work.And I helped.The thought brings a faint smile to my lips, even though she has no idea yet that I'm the one who turned things around."You know," Andrew mutters under his breath beside me,

CHAPTER 86

MEGAN'S POVI can feel eyes on us.Not just a few curious glances, but actual stares from the remaining guests scattered around the venue, their conversations dropping to low murmurs as they look our way."Is that Alpha Xarion Luther?""What's he doing there with Megan Pierce?""I thought they were divorced…"The whispers travel through the room, and I catch bits of curiosity and gossip.But truthfully? I can't bring myself to care right now.My mind's too busy reeling from what Xarion just told me.He invited all those guests.Him.I lean back in my seat slightly, studying him across the small table as I try to wrap my head around it.Why didn't that cross my mind earlier? When all those Alphas and high-ranking wolves started pouring in, why didn't I immediately think of Xarion?He told me he could fix it. Or at least try to.Xarion has the connections. The influence. The sheer audacity to pull something like this off.And he did it for me.Even though this branch launch directly com

CHAPTER 87

XARION'S POVI can see the exact moment my words register with Megan, and her head snaps toward me, eyes flashing with irritation."Excuse me?" she says, her voice cold despite the slight slur. "Since when do you get to decide what I've had enough of?""Since you started looking like you're about to fall off your chair," I reply evenly, keeping my tone calm even though I can feel the tension crackling between us.She narrows her eyes at me, leaning forward slightly. "Mind your business, Xarion.""You are my business," I say evenly before I can stop myself.Alpha Aaron clears his throat awkwardly, clearly sensing the change in atmosphere, but before anyone can say anything else, music starts playing through the bar's sound system.Something upbeat. Something with a rhythm that immediately makes Megan's face light up."Oh!" she exclaims, her mood brightening instantly as she pushes herself to her feet with surprising energy, swaying just slightly as she does. "Dancing! We should dance!"

CHAPTER 88

XARION'S POVAlpha Elias's eyes narrow and I can see the hostility coming off him now. He doesn't like me. That much is clear.And I'm guessing it's because of Vance.He's protective of Megan, and he clearly wants her with his son.But that's not happening. Not if I have anything to say about it."Megan," Alpha Elias says, his voice softening as he turns to her. "Do you want him to take you home?"Megan doesn't respond. She's barely conscious now, her head resting against my chest, her breathing slow and shallow.Alpha Aaron steps in, his tone diplomatic. "Alpha Elias, I think it's best if Alpha Xarion takes her. She's clearly not in a state to make decisions right now, and he's already holding her. Let's not make this more complicated than it needs to be."Alpha Elias's face contorts with displeasure, but after a long moment, he nods reluctantly. "Fine. But if anything happens to her, Xarion...""Nothing will happen to her," I cut in calmly. "You have my word."Alpha Elias doesn't re

CHAPTER 89

MEGAN'S POVPain greets me the second I open my eyes.A heavy, pounding ache that pulses through my skull like someone's taken a sledgehammer to my head.I groan, pressing my palms against my forehead as I try to will the pain away.What the hell happened last night?My mouth feels like sandpaper, my body's heavy and sluggish, and there's a faint nausea churning in my stomach.I blink slowly, my vision clearing just enough to take in my surroundings.I'm in my bed. In my hotel room.That's good. At least I made it back.But then I move slightly, and I feel it.Warmth.Too much warmth.I freeze, my whole body tensing as I slowly turn my head to the left.And that's when I see him.Xarion.Lying right next to me in my bed.Shirtless.Oh goddess."What the hell?!" I shriek, bolting upright so fast my head spins violently, and I have to grab the edge of the mattress to steady myself.Xarion stirs immediately, his eyes fluttering open as he blinks groggily at me."Good morning to you too,"

CHAPTER 90

MEGAN'S POV"Oh no," I breathe, my eyes widening. "Alpha Elias. I was drunk in front of Alpha Elias. And Alpha Aaron. How am I supposed to face them now?""You'll be fine," Xarion assures me. "Alpha Elias wasn't angry. If anything, he was being overly protective of you."I frown as I catch the slight change in his tone. "What do you mean, overly protective?""He didn't want me taking you home," Xarion replies, his features hardening just a little. "He tried to argue that your driver should take you instead. But I insisted."There's a tension in his voice now, and I can tell he's annoyed just thinking about it.I can't help but feel a tiny spark of humor at that."Sounds like you two had a fun time," I murmur dryly."Thrilling," he mutters.I study him for a moment, taking in the way his mouth is set in a hard line and the way his shoulders are slightly tense.And then, against my better judgment, my eyes fall lower.To his chest.To the defined muscles and the light trace of dark hair
