Rafael’s POVI shook my head. Could that be true? The time line kind of made sense, they were six years old, that was the last time Lacy and I had sex.It could be possible.But if it was, why did she keep it from me?I would have been tempted to believe all these if not of her involvement with Blaine. That was the only thing that explained why he would be so interested in her as to declare she was under his protection.“Uncle Rafael, is it true?” Andy asked excitedly, snapping me out of my thoughts.Mandy was not far behind him, she was still beaming with smiles.“Is what true, Andy?” I asked.“We get to keep going to our old school?”I nodded, “Of course.”“Whoa!” he said.“I told you,” Mandy said victoriously. “For once Mandy, you were right,” Andy said happily.“Is that not for mom to decide?”We all turned at the same time. Cass was standing at the doorway, staring at the three of us, his eyes as cautious as last time.“I am sure that your mom would not mind,” I said.“You shou

Lacy’s POVI pulled the face cap tighter over my face as I walked into the lobby of Johnson Corp.The facemask felt uncomfortable on my nose as I breathed heavily through it and stared at the busy lobby through dark shades.I gently tilted my head to the side and spotted the CCTV camera focusing on the lobby. I let out a deep breath and walked slowly.My eyes were scanning the crowd, looking for someone with a key card.That was when I spotted him. He had an athletic build and he also had his key card hanging from his belt holder.I made a bee line towards him, weaving through the sea of people and then bumped into him and unhooked the key card clip all in one smooth motion.The whole thing lasted less than a second.“Hey, watch it!” he snapped irritably. He didn’t bother waiting for an apology, he just kept going.I slid the key card into my coat pocket as my heart kept thumping in my chest.Johnson Corp was a big firm, I was sure that it would be a while before he noticed his key c

Lacy’s POV“A wolf?” he sounded surprised.He stepped forward, a cocky smile on his face, “I have not seen your face around here before. Who are you working for?”My heart was racing and my mind was thinking. What could I do? Betas were second only to their alphas in the pack and were skilled fighters, what chance did I really stand against this beast?I backed away from him, my eyes scanning for an exit.“Awwn? Cat got your tongue?” he teased and bared his teeth. “Don’t worry, I will loosen it up.”“Stay back!” I yelled, infusing as much menace in my voice as I could.It did not have the desired effect.The beta chuckled and shook his head, “How cute.”I bared my teeth at him. Shit! If only I knew how to fight, if only I had tapped into my wolf side more often, I might have stood more of a chance.Regardless, something still drove me forward, refused to let me quit and give up.“If you surrender and come with me, I will go easy on you,” he said and flashed me a smile. “Don’t make m

Lacy’s POVThe dining table was a mess, papers were strewn all over.The financial records that I had snapped earlier had all been printed and laid out in front of me.Normally, working from home was not something that I enjoyed but this case was very sensitive and I could not have Cassie from the office poke nosing into what I was doing. If anyone got wind that I was looking into the Johnson Merger, things would go from bad to worse for me.The whole beta Ted issue was still at the back of my mind and that was what was pushing me to break this deal as quickly as possible.If I didn’t find anything in their finances that would cause their merger partner to back out, I would have to dig into their business dealings, find anything borderline illegal or unethical, something that if it came to light would just be a major lawsuit waiting to happen.I was so immersed in my work that I didn’t really notice the knock at the door.Today was the kid’s first day back at school, I was all alone

Rafael’s POVMy gaze narrowed as I stared at the object on the floor.I let go of Lacy and she staggered backwards and cupped her mouth with both hands.For a brief moment, neither of us spoke.Was that what I thought it was?I looked at Lacy. She looked utterly terrified, that only enhanced my suspicion.I bent down and picked the oddly shaped, smooth rock.It was very cold to the touch and then it began to grow hot, hotter even. A searing pain ran from my palm as smoke began to come out.Lacy gasped, “Alpha…”I grunted as the stone which was cold a second ago now felt like hot coal to the touch. I balled it up in my hand and then threw it down to the floor with force, smashing it to pieces.I stared at Lacy, “Where did you get a Gob stone?”She looked at me with that same confused look in her eyes.“Answer me!” I yelled in her face.She shrieked backwards and hid her face from me, her head dropping low.I stared at the broken pieces of the Gob Stone on the floor in disbelief, “It w
