"I'm over that rogue. I truly am. I just didn't expect him to pull the puck from the net and kill my chance to stack some real coin!"Jess’s voice was sharp, a low growl beneath the surface. Mason Carter leaned back, a lazy smirk on his face."You've already skimmed three hundred million off the top, Jess. That’s more than enough to buy a private island," Mason said, his eyes scanning her. "So, where’s the next destination?""Skydrivee.""What’s the appeal of Skydrivee? You spent half a decade there. Let’s pick a new territory!"A dark, jagged grin spread across Jess’s face. "You honestly think I’m flying out for a vacation? I have unfinished business on that ice.""Unfinished business?" Mason looked genuinely stumped. "I thought you were settling into the Valeria pack for good. What could possibly be left for you there?""I’ll fill you in when we touch down."At high noon, Tyler Dawson swaggered into the executive den at Silvercrest Holdings."Let’s go hit the local pub, Ethan! My tr

Suddenly, the suite was plunged into darkness. I held my breath, waiting for him to cross the room, but the sound of wood creaking came from the opposite side. He was settling onto the hard desk."Since when did you start caring about how I feel?" I couldn't keep the sharp edge out of my voice. "Are you trying to catch your death out here? It’s below freezing!"Ethan didn't expect me to snap. He flicked the light back on, the sudden glare blinding me. I immediately dove under the thermal covers, hiding my face.Ethan strode over to the bunk and ripped the blanket back, exposing my flushed skin."Collins, you've spent weeks hating me because I trampled over your heart. I’m not making that mistake twice."I blinked, my mind a mess of static. "W-Why aren't you wearing a shirt?""I didn't pack for an overnight stay.""Then don't take a frost-bath in the communal sinks!" I was so furious I felt lightheaded. "What are you waiting for? Get in before you turn into an ice block!"I had a naggi

The reason I allowed Ethan to come over and attempt to make amends for the Festival disaster wasn't the fortune he’d spent on the border or the fact that he’d washed my feet. It was because he hadn't hesitated for a second before entering a lethal minefield just to track me down. How could I ignore the depth of a wolf who was willing to risk his life to find me?.Despite the realization, my thoughts were a chaotic mess of conflict. Our history was buried under too many layers of complication. I sat on the edge of the bed, the heavy silence of the den pressing in on me. I pulled out my phone to distract myself, scrolling aimlessly until I accidentally tapped on a thumbnail.The image that filled the screen made my breath hitch. It was a couple; the male was shirtless, his pack markings visible, while the other was in a skimpy suit. They were locked in an intimate embrace, their scents practically tangible through the glass.I knew both of them. The male was Mason Carter. The one in his

I felt a sudden pang of hesitation as I stood in the lobby of the Silvercrest skyscraper. I had only come to check in on Ethan, so why had I spent nearly an hour agonising over this specific silk outfit? We had literally just spent the previous day together, and at this rate, our paths crossed almost every single morning. What would the rest of the pack think of me marching into his headquarters dressed like I was heading to a gala?"I... I think I should have stuck with my hoodies," I muttered, looking down at the emerald silk."It’s blazing out here on the ice, Collins. Don't second-guess it! The High Alpha has been pacing his floor waiting for your scent to hit the elevator." Brandon Hayes led the way with a knowing grin, ignoring my modesty.I trailed after him, feeling the eyes of the lobby staff on us as we ascended to the penthouse level where the president’s office sat like a glass crown."Go on in! I’ll make sure the sentries keep the floor clear." Brandon brought me right to

The moment Collins stepped around that corner, he was lost to the Alpha’s sight."Collins Parker!"Ethan’s blood burned like dry ice in his veins when he saw Collins keep walking without a single backward glance. With golden eyes bleeding into a dark, feral red, Ethan charged toward the security barrier... but the guards surged forward, pinning him against the rail."Collins! Turn around!" Ethan roared, his voice cracking with a raw desperation that left his pride in tatters. "Look at me! Collins!"I felt like my boots were cast in lead. Every inch I gained toward the gate drained a month of my life. The second I cleared his line of sight, I collapsed against the cold glass wall of the terminal and let out a broken sob."Get him out of here, McQueen," I choked out, burying my face in my hands. "Please, just make him leave."McQueen’s jaw was set. "He won't listen to me. And you're in no state to face him. I’m calling Brandon."He dragged me toward the private boarding area, his grip f
