All Chapters of Between Two Naughty Wolves: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

CHAPTER 2: The Long, Dark Road to NowhereAllison's POVFor a second, the world just… stopped and the sound of my own heart screaming in my ears was the only thing I could hear.Theo. My baby. My whole world. He was hugging her leg and did he just called her Mommy?!He hadn’t even looked at me.My brain scrambled, trying to find a logical explanation where there was none. This wasn't just my husband banging some red hair in our bed. This was something else.l entirely.. This had to be dark fucked-up magic!“Theo?” The word came out as a broken whisper and I cleared my throat, forcing strength I didn’t have into my voice. “Baby, come to Mommy.”He finally looked over at me and my hope shattered..! His little face, usually so full of light and love for me, was blank. Worse than blank. It was confused and wary like I was a stranger who’d just yelled at him.He buried his face deeper into Victoria’s thigh. Her hand came down, stroking his hair with a possessiveness that made my wolf snarl

CHAPTER 4: A Shot of ConfidenceAllison's POVHe looked like he’d just seen a ghost.. my ghost. A slow cold smile touched my lips. This was too good.“Be careful, Derek Boyega,” I said, my voice cutting through the corporate murmur. “You look like you just shit your pants.”A wave of low rumbling chuckles traveled around the huge table. Executives and investors, all men who thought they were sharks were now laughing at my joke. At his expense.Derek’s head snapped toward the sound, his famous temper flashing in his eyes as he gave them all a furious glare. It was like music to me. He finally slumped into a seat with his whole body tense with confusion. Mission accomplished.I let myself enjoy it for exactly three more seconds enjoying the satisfaction of seeing him so thrown.. so completely off his game. Then I pushed him out of my mind. He was a relic.. today was about the future.“Now,” I said, clicking the button for my presentation. “Let’s talk about unbreakable code.”***An hou

CHAPTER 6: No Good Deed Goes Un-PunishedAllison's POVI was half out of the bed, ready to shift and rip into whoever was stupid enough to break in, when I saw her.“Ashley?” I hissed, my voice a mix of sleep, fury, and pure adrenaline. “What in the actual hell?”My assistant stood there, wild-eyed and breathing like she’d just run a marathon. She completely ignored the fact that I was naked, clutching only a sheet and probably looking like I wanted to murder her.“I’m so sorry, Allison! So, so sorry!” she babbled, not even looking at me. Her eyes were glued to the iPad in her hands. She thrust it toward me. “You need to see this. Now.”My claws retracted slowly. The growl died in my throat, replaced by a sinking feeling in my gut. This wasn’t a rogue attack.. this was work and from the look on her face, it was bad.I snatched the tablet. On the screen was our company’s flagship social media page. Or what was left of it. Instead of our sleek, dark blue branding, it was a blinding, neo

CHAPTER 8: Old Scars, New WoundsDerek's POVI slammed the front door so hard it felt like tthe whole house shook. I could still smell Victoria’s perfume in the air and underneath it all, the faint fading trace of her.. My Allison.My wolf was pacing inside me as a restless angry beast. It was all because of Victoria.. Because of her lies, her temper and the way she’d spoken to my son… our son.“Damn it,” I growled, running a hand through my hair. Why had I ever let her into my life? The question echoed in my head, and for the first time, I let myself really think about it. I’d been lost after the breakup with Allison. Victoria was… convenient.. a warm body that chased away the loneliness for a little while. But now? Now it felt like the worst mistake of my life..!I had to find Allison. I had to see her, to talk to her. I didn’t even know what I would say. ‘Sorry’ didn’t even begin to cover it. But I had to try.I jumped in my car and drove, following the lingering thread of her

CHAPTER 10: A Spark in the WreckageAllison's POVMy laptop screen was in a grid of worried faces, my tech team looking to me for a miracle. I could see my own reflection in the corner of the screen... CEO Allison Hayes, perfectly composed, her hair in a neat ponytail, a sharp black blazer making her look like she had everything under control. It was the greatest illusion I’d ever pulled off.“...so the priority is the internal server reboot. I don’t care if you have to unplug every single machine and blow on the cartridges like an old Nintendo game. Just get it done,” I said, my voice steady.But my mind wasn’t on servers. It was on a porch.. on the sound of a door slamming and on the way my little boy’s face had crumpled with confusion before he hid behind her leg.He hesitated.. he was confused. That means something. That has to mean something.“...the dancing kitten video has over ten million views on YouTube alone, Ms. Hayes. It’s… kind of gone viral.”“Great. Free marketing,” I
