Seven's POVI sat at the wide desk near the window and went through the latest set of shipping agreements, marking the clauses that needed to be revised before they went out for signing. “I think it's time to hire some new staff.” I murmured to myself as I worked. Outside the glass, I could hear the steady movement of trucks in the yard below. Harbor Line was no longer the struggling firm I had walked into months earlier. I had built it from that company that was in the hole to the point where people sought us out for our services.I had just finished adjusting the delivery window on a mid-coast run when the door opened and Mr. Andy stepped inside. He still carried the same tired posture he had worn the first day we met, but there was less weight in his shoulders now and he wasn't as harsh as he used to be. Over the months, he had warmed up to me. He closed the door behind him and stood near the chair across from my desk with a small, familiar smile.“Ms. Hart. Do you have a few

Demarco's POVWork was giving me a fucking headache and I was already in a foul mood when Darrien walked into the temporary office I was using near the coastal administrative buildings. He closed the door and held up his phone.“Sienna Drake just landed. She sent a message asking to meet you for lunch. Official pack business on the eastern trade routes, but she specifically asked for you.”I did not look up from the report in front of me as I replied. “Tell her I am busy.”Darrien stayed where he was.“She will not take a simple refusal. You know how she is. If you ignore her she will start asking other people why you are avoiding her.”I set the report down harder than necessary and looked at him. Sienna was from one of the pack families that had a huge political influence but that did not stop her from being a nuisance when she needed to be one. “I do not have time for her questions today. The coastal routes are enough of a headache without adding personal history to the list. Tell

Seven's POVThe contract with the company under the Oxford name was going quite well. “The fact that it's in a minor line is quite a bother though. Will it help you out?” The other voice at the end of the call said and I smiled into my phone. Liora, one of my very good and old friends before I got together with Harris was on the line and as usual, I was mouthing off to her. “It will. Remember Li, all it takes is a little spot to climb right in there.”“Alright, pretty lady. You take care of yourself and that angel in you. I'll be coming back really soon. I've missed you terribly.”I grinned as I told her bye and set the phone down. Liora had left the country and she wasn't present with the whole Isolde and Harris saga.“It might have gone down differently if she were. Harris would have definitely lost his balls.” I said as I giggled to myself. Minutes later, my assistant walked into the office with a file. “The coastal contract came through, ma'am. Just like you said it would.”“T

Seven's POVI arrived at the office earlier than usual that morning. The coastal contract had been running clean for weeks and the secondary deals that followed were holding just fine, but the call from Mr. Dennis still sat in the back of my mind. He had asked for a face-to-face meeting and I had agreed to one hour, nothing more. I spent the first part of the morning clearing the smaller files from my desk and telling my assistant to hold all other calls until the meeting ended. The child shifted once under my ribs as I stood to stretch. I placed a hand there until the movement settled, then sat back down and waited.Mr. Dennis arrived on time. He stepped into the office wearing the same careful expression I remembered from the old Oxford meetings. He closed the door behind him and stood near the chair across from my desk.“Miss Hart. Thank you for seeing me.”I gestured to the chair. “Sit. You said you wanted to talk in person. So talk.”He sat and rested his hands on the folder h

Demarco's POVThe report came in just after breakfast. Darrien placed the file on my desk and remained standing instead of leaving immediately. I looked at the cover and already knew the subject.“Harbor Line?”“Yes. There has been quite a bit of movement around the new building.”I opened the file and started reading.“The building is fully operational now, and Seven moved the main operations there earlier this week. Security has increased, visitors are being screened before they are allowed upstairs, and several former Oxford contacts have already requested meetings.”I turned to another page. “How many?”“Six that we know about, and three have already gone inside. Two signed NDAs before they were allowed upstairs.”I looked up at him. “NDAs?”“Seven is keeping the upper floors restricted, and no one gets through without clearance from her or Andy. She is being careful about who gets access to her.”I looked back at the report and smiled to myself. It was exactly what I expected fr
