Karina’s P O V Oh, I gasped. My voice shaky but brimming with triumph. My voice recorder is synced to cloud storage. It uploads automatically every 10 min.Do you have a computer? Alpha Adrian didn't miss a beat. He gave a quick signal to one of his staff, who nodded and rushed out of the room.The color drained from Edward's face. I could literally see his resolve crumbling. Moments later, a laptop was placed in front of me. My fingers trembled as I reached for it. Every eye in the room.Walked on me. The air was so tense it felt like it could snap. I logged into my cloud account. The silence of the room deafening, except for the frantic pounding of my own heart.Got it, I announced. Lifting my gaze to meet Edward's terrified stare, I gave him a victorious little smile, my finger hovering over the trackpad.Let's take a listen, shall we? Don't play it! Edward lunged forward with shocking speed, snatching the laptop from my hands and clutching it to his chest.His onc

Karina POV I'll pull up the audio file from the cloud. Now, I announced, the room went dead quiet. As I unlocked my phone, I could feel everyone's eyes on me.But one pair burned hotter than the rest — Celine's. I stared back at her, my disbelief hardening into anger.First, Edward tries to ruin my career, and now her, especially after I just handed her an excuse to save face in front of Adrian.Unbelievable. Do you want to resign? Adrian asked suddenly, his tone impossible to read.Was he testing me? Absolutely not. I answered, the words out of my mouth before I'd even thought about it.Divorce or no divorce. Edward had no right to make decisions about my career. Edward's face went pale with fury, and beside him, Celine shot me a look that could have frozen blood.Adrian, however, let a small smile touch his lips.Good to hear. He glanced at his watch. The doctor said your leg needs at least a week to heal. Would you prefer to head back to Denver?I can arrange fo

Adrian's P O VI'm not exactly the generous type, I said, folding my arms. And I don't make a habit of giving strangers free rides.Edward's jaw went tight. It was a reflex, a flicker of outrage I saw in the twitch of his cheek and the way his hands flexed at his sides.But since you're also from Denver, I'll give you a fair deal. I added, letting the offer hang in the air.Just make sure you send the payment. Alpha Edward glared at me like I just insulted his entire bloodline.You're seriously charging me. Are you that petty? Before I could answer, Karina cut in. He's being honest.She said, her voice flat, no softness, no hesitation.You're the one begging for a seat on his plane. You could try showing some gratitude for once.That hit him harder than anything I could have said. Edward spun to face her, his eyes wide with disbelief.I'm doing this for you. Her laugh was a short, cold burst of air. Please.You're doing this because you have no other choice.He stepped closer, l

Adrian's P O V The moment Ethan started pulling out of the airport, I spotted Lyla. She was hovering by the exit, looking frantic.And I knew something was wrong. I had him stop the car. I didn't have to say a word.Alpha Adrian, shouldn't we go help Karina? Ethan asked, his voice urgent, as the privacy screen slid up between the front and backseats.Caleb, my beta, nodded in agreement from the passenger seat, a bit more cautious, but on the same page. I met their eyes in the rearview mirror, my expression flat.Help her, if you want, just don't make me out to be the bad guy. That was all the permission Ethan needed. He spun the car around in a tight U-turn. Before we could reach her, though, a white BMW beat us to it.A woman in a striking red business suit and a black shirt got out, looking every bit the powerhouse professional.She walked straight to Karina. Lucas, my wolf, stirred inside me. His thought was sharp and clear. Clever girl.She's using her enemy's obsession

Karina's P O V Camille had just walked in, arms loaded with groceries.I want to output the moment I tell myself say, oh no, you want to get my next level. This space not due for months. I don't have to be months in it.When her phone started ringing.She managed to juggle the bags onto one hip and answer with a distracted hello.Moments later, she turned to me, her expression tight with worry. My mom hurt her back. I need to go. She said, the words rushing out as she dropped the grocery bags onto the counter with a thud.From my spot on the couch, I waved a hand dismissively. Go, it's okay, really, I said, offering a small smile.I'll be fine. I'll just order some takeout. Go take care of your mom. She hesitated, her eyes scanning me, as if she wasn't convinced.Text me if you so much as sneeze, you hear me. She insisted, already wrestling with her shoes, her purse dangling from her arm.She looked torn, caught between wanting to stay and needing to leave. I will, I pro
