Karina's POV. Dominic kept his head down, refusing to say a word as his hand slowly started to rise. Edward, don't you dare, I blurted, reaching out to stop him. If he hit Adrian, everyone would whisper that it was my fault. I'd be branded the human Homewrecker, who started a fight between two powerful alphas, and the Silver Peak Pack would eat me alive. His hand froze in mid-air. He turned to me, his eyes full of this manufactured heartbreak and betrayal. I had to physically restrain myself from rolling my eyes. Seriously. We signed divorce papers yesterday, and now he's acting like I'm the one who stabbed him in the back. Does this guy have selective amnesia or something? The next bitter smile gave him away. His pride was wounded, and that was it. I just gave him a tight, fake smile right back. We didn't have to say a thing. He was trying to play the victim, and my expression made it clear I was immune to his little games. Finally he turned back to the table, but you could s

Karina's POV If you dare to dream it, you can have it. Was he mocking me? Did he really think my dreams were so simple that wanting someone like Ethan in my life was childish? Beside me, Ethan was beaming, obviously thrilled with Alpha Adrian's comment. The genuine happiness on his face was enough to make me second-guess myself. Maybe I'd just misread Adrian's tone completely. After breakfast, Ethan drove us to the airport. Our destination was Colorado Springs, a place I hadn't been to much, but I remembered it for its gorgeous scenery and crisp mountain air. Alpha Adrian and I were on a commercial flight first class. Of course, he spent most of the trip reviewing documents, while I pretended to be absorbed in a novel, trying, with every ounce of my being, not to feel the weight of his presence in the seat right next to me. From the airport, a private car took us deep into the mountains. The resort was a massive project, a 2.3 billion dollar investment. With Silver Peak Pack own

Karina's POV. I'll let him know. I said, firing off a quick text to Victor, with Alpha Adrian's response. A part of me wanted to warn Adrian that Julian was bad news. The sleazy, older wolf was obviously trying to drag the powerful Silver Peak Alpha down into his own personal cesspool, and I didn't like it. One. Bit. But then Adrian was hardly a naive pup who needed my protection. He was more than smart enough to handle himself. It's still early. Let's take a walk. Adrian suggested. His deep voice cutting through my thoughts, I looked up from my phone, confused. Oh, I think I'd rather stay in. It's almost dark, and wandering around these mountains alone sounds kind of creepy. I'll just hang out at the villa. When I caught his expression, a mix of amusement and something like disappointment, it clicked. Wait. You want to go for a walk together? One person wandering alone would be terrifying, he replied. His tone laced with mock sadness. I'll come with you. I managed my smile, f

Karina POV Tessa froze, her eyes wide with a disbelief that was almost comical. I watched from the side as a muscle twitched in Julian's jaw. His shock barely contained. His whole careful plan was crumbling right in front of us. And I couldn't help but feel a twisted, little thrill of satisfaction. Everyone in that room expected Alpha Adrian to be a gentleman. They all thought he'd play the part and protect the innocent young woman Julian had so thoughtfully served up. But reality, it turned out, had other plans. The awkwardness was so thick you could cut it with a knife. It was like watching a perfectly rehearsed play where the lead actor suddenly goes off script, leaving the rest of the cast stumbling around completely lost. I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from grinning. That's my boss for you. I thought, venomous as wolf's bane. A wave of relief washed over me for a second there. I was actually worried he might be into her. If he'd fallen for a trap this obvious, I wo

Chapter 89When I push. it open, the scene inside stopped me cold. Adrian stood rigid with fury.And on the floor. A young woman in a sheer white nightgown was sprawled out and crying. Her hair was a mess, and she looked completely lost.I recognized her immediately. It was Tessa, one of the girls who'd been with Julian earlier. Moving on instinct, I grabbed a towel from his bathroom and draped it over her shoulders.How did you get in here? I demanded. Tessa just kept sobbing, refusing to answer.Get her out of here. Adrian snarled, his voice thick with disgust. At his words, Tessa covered her face and wailed even louder. I helped her up and started guiding her out of the bedroom and toward the stairs.Cut the waterworks. I said flatly. Once we were in the hall, the performance isn't working on me.She looked up, her eyes red and swollen, the perfect picture of distress.I go back like this. Julian will throw me to those men. She whimpered. And.What exactly do you want me to do abou
