“How’s the pain?” She asks, whisking the eggs in the pan quickly for a few minutes.“The meds you gave me are working, I’m not going to lie to you though, I’m definitely feeling it.” I say, and she pauses from buttering the toast that has popped to look at me. Her eyes searching my face for a few minutes.“You told me you fell through a floor; you should be feeling it. You are going to be on desk for duty for at least two months Thomas said.” She takes the plate of toast over to the stove and spoons some eggs onto the plate before bringing it back and placing it in front of me with utensils. “Eat that and then you can take the stronger meds.”She’s just pouring me a cup of coffee when Thomas appears, in a t-shirt and boxer shorts. His blonde hair is a mess, his big pawlike hands snatching the coffee cup from the counter before I have a second to claim it. He takes a loud, slurping sip, then hums his approval, giving Willow’s head a pat as he passes. “You always make the best coffee Wil

“I’m Georgia Selmore, Implementation Manager, if you choose us for your solutions I’ll be at your beck and call for anything you need.”I turn to Tristan, to see if it’s just me that feels like she might be hitting on me, his eyebrows are so high they have hit his hairline, and I know I haven’t imagined it. A low, deep, growl sound comes from behind me, and I turn and have to take a step back as Zale is standing close behind me. He coughs and clears his throat, but his glare is on Georgia and I’m pretty sure he’s warning her off. Given how our last work meeting went I can understand his caution.“Maybe you should introduce yourself to Tristan as well, Georgia.” He says, he holds an arm out to guide me over to Colin who has been hanging back, he looks like he’s holding back a laugh. “You remember Colin.”“I do, great to see you again Colin.” He steps forward and shakes my hand, still stifling a laugh.“Always a pleasure Willow, shall we?” He gestures to the lifts and guides us over toge

“She may be a wolf Zale, but she is not like us. She is special, I can’t believe you found Toniar.” She replies cryptically.“Oh yes, I would be happy to get you anything you need Miss Doyle, anything at all. I’ll just add your details in.” My mouth drops as Sandy pulls out her phone as if she is about to set up a calendar and VIP ring tone for Wills. What is she doing?“Oh…ah…first of all that’s not necessary, Tristan here is the one that organizes my life for me, and secondly please call me Willow.” Wills lifts a hand to stop Sandy’s progress, Tristans steps in front of Sandy to take the focus off her, ensuring he has staked his territory mark. Sandy looks up at his charming smile, narrows her eyes for a slip second before beaming back at him, but I catch her whispered. “We’ll see about that.”I wish Tristan luck; Sandy normally finds a way to get what she wants. If I’m not careful, I’m about to lose my Executive Assistant and council representative for Omegas.[“Do you know what a

The tour is finally over, and we head straight to the conference room that seconds as my council room. It has a full library of wolf culture, laws, histories and ancestry. We have other conference rooms, but I specifically chose this one as I am going to try to test the waters today, to see if I can give her enough of a hint to have her hopefully approach me.I manage to get into the room ahead of her and carefully select and guide her to the chair beside me, giving Georgia and Sandy a look to sit on the other side of the table and ignoring the knowing grins from Anders and Colin. Tristan takes the open chair on the side of her, and we all settle ready to talk about the trial.I let the team take the lead, angling my chair slightly to watch Wills as she listens to Georgia and Colin. She’s paying attention, consulting with Tristan as they sort through the schedule and logistics – but I can feel her focus on me still. I’m not being subtle at the moment, watching her, taking in her scent.

“Is it normal for a CEO to attend a set up?” Tristan asks.I’ve been completely caught out.“Zale is very hands on with new potential clients, especially as he is looking after things while Jamie is off on parental leave.” Anders steps in smoothly explaining away the gaps in my plan.“Yes, I try to at least check in where I can, I don’t manage to make every set up day, but I do try as much as I can.” I add to try and give more credibility to the explanation. Thankfully I’m saved by the Uber arriving for them. We say our final goodbyes, and I open the door for the two of them, making sure they are safely inside before closing it and waving them off.“That was not the total disaster I was expecting it be.” Anders comments as we wave at them together, still smiling.“It could have been better, but you’re also right, it could have been worse - a lot worse.” I murmur and turn back to the office.“You sir, are going to need to up your game with her – let’s see you have Boy Scout, Georgia, an
