IVY’S POVThe office was quiet.I sat behind my desk, looking at my computer screen. At the numbers, charts and plans for the next quarter.But my mind was not on work.I kept thinking about the meeting. About Kael. About the way he had looked at me. The way he said my name.I shook my head and forced my mind to focus.Then someone knock at the door.“Come in.”Zara walked in with a nervous look in her eyes. “Miss Ivy, there is someone outside. He wants to see you.”“Who is it?”“He did not give his name. He said you would know him.” Then Zara hesitated for a second. “He is waiting outside. Not inside. He said he did not want to make you uncomfortable.”My heart stopped.I stood up and walked to the window. I looked down at the street and saw Pedro.My brother. Standing there. Waiting.My hands started shaking.“Send him away. I do not want to see him.” I said.Zara nodded and left.I remained standing by the window. Warching him and noticed he looked tired and older than I remembered

KAEL’S POVI dropped my phone on the desk and laughed.The call was over and Ivy Morgan had just yelled at me, cursed me and told me to take my ass out of her buisness.I chuckled again because I loved every second of it.My two representatives stood in front of my desk, both still pale from the encounter like they had seen a ghost.“She said that?” I asked, still smiling.The man swallowed hard and lowered his head. “Yes, Alpha. She said you should—”He stopped suddenly as he could not finish the sentence.I leaned back in my chair and assisted him. “Take my ass out of her buisness?”The woman flinched nervously. “Please, Alpha. These words did not come from my mouth.”I took a long sip of my whiskey and enjoyed the burn. Good.“You are dismissed,” I said.Then they turned quickly and almost ran.I sat alone in my study and looked at the evening light seeping through the windows. The city outside looked golden, with busy streets and lit billboards.Ivy Morgan.I said her name out lou

KAEL’S POVThe investigator stood in front of my desk with his hands deep in his pockets. The file he had delivered laid open, with its pages spread out everywhere. The room was quiet except for the sound of my breathing.“Tell me everything,” I said. “Start from the beginning.”The investigator nodded. “Her name is Ivy Morgan. She is twenty eight years old and was married to Alpha Damon of Snowrich Pack for seven years.”“Was?”“The marriage ended after she found him in bed with his first love. A woman named Serena.”I clenched my jaw in disgust. “Go on.”“The affair went on behind her back for months. Damon do allow Serena to visit their son, whenever Ivy is away. She played the loving mother while Ivy did all the hard work.”“She has a son?”“Yes. Miles. He is five years old.” Then the investigator paused for a second and dropped his voice to a whisper. “The boy calls Serena Mommy now.”I stared at him as the words hit me harder than I expected. “The boy calls another woman Mommy?”

KAEL’S POVThe sun was warm on my face and the grass was green under my feet. Golf was supposed to be relaxing. But my mind was somewhere else.I swung the club and the ball flew straight. Perfect.“That is why you are the Alpha,” Derek said. He was a chubby man with a gold watch and he owned half the clubs in the city. “You never miss.”I said nothing.Another associate walked beside me. He was younger with a eager look in his eyes. “We do not see you in the clubs anymore, Kael. You used to come out more often.”“I have been busy.”“Oh we know.” Derek laughed. “That is why I am opening a new one. To remind you how to have fun.”I looked at him and raised an eyebrow. “You are opening a club?”“Day after tomorrow.” Derek flashed a wide smile. “And I want you there. Front row. Best table.”I picked up my ball. “I will try to be there.”Derek laughed loudly. “Another one who says “I will try’ but never shows up. Everytime you say that, you disappear.”“It is not my fault. I am busy.”“Yo

IVY’S POVThe silence in the office was so loud. I could feel my ears ringing as I sat behind my desk, staring at the wall. My mind was still on the phone call. On his voice. On the words that came out of his mouth.Dress beautifully.I wanted to throw something. Instead I picked up my phone and called Zara. “Come to my office. Now.”She arrived immediately with a worried look on her face. “What is it? I can tell from your voice that you are very very pissed.”I stood up and started pacing. “That man. That arrogant, insufferable man.”“Kael?”“Who else?” I hissed angrily and stopped pacing. “He called me and agreed to the meeting. But not in an office. Not in a diner. In a club. A club, Zara!”Zara’s eyes widened. “A club?”“Can you believe it? He is playing games with me.” I wanted to scream, so I began to pace again. “He wants me to dance to his music. He wants me to follow his rules. But I am tired of this. I need to deal with this man.”Zara walked to the water pitcher at the co
