Chapter 12KIERAN I watched her leave. The woman who insisted she had never seen me before.I could only stand and watch as she disappeared out of sight, an emptiness settling inside me.Was she really not Calista?I mean, she could almost pass as her. She had her mannerisms, her eyes and the way my body reacted whenever she was near.Moons, I could swear she was my wife.But there were obvious differences.The woman I had just met exuded a confident, powerful and elegant aura.My Calista was fragile, timid even. This woman couldn't be her.Then why?Why did Fenrir always seem restless whenever she was near.Brian walked in on me still lost in thoughts.He let out a silent sigh."What has gotten into you, Alpha Kieran? You can't accuse random ladies of being your runaway Luna."My brows raised.I frowned. "She didn't run away. Someone made her leave." "If that's what you want to think, okay. But we checked the footage and Luna Calista left on her own. No one was with her—""Has the

Chapter 14KIERAN"Daddy, Mommy says we're buying toys today!" Ronan shouted excitedly as he waltzed into my study.I merely glanced at him and the toys in his hands, then lowered my gaze again."That's great, Ronan," I said flatly, flipping pages over.He stopped in front of me with a little frown on his face."Daddy, you're coming with us, right?" he asked, adjusting his hold on the toys.I shook my head once without looking up."Daddy is busy, you can go with your mom.""But Mommy says Daddy is coming," he muttered dejectedly.I raised a brow."She said that?"He nodded.I frowned.Brielle hadn’t discussed anything with me. Why would she promise him that I would be present?I looked away from him."I can't go. I'm busy," I stated."But...""Ronan." My voice raised only slightly but it was enough to startle him.He went still, every form of playful defiance draining from his face."Yes, sir," he replied dejectedly then hurried out of my study in tears."Ro—" I tried to call, but he

CHAPTER 16 KIERAN “CALIX, what’s the reason for that name?” I kept my attention on Vivienne Hayes as I asked the question, watching the slight change in her expression that she probably hadn’t intended me to notice. It was brief, barely more than a twitch around her eyes, but it was enough to make me wonder whether I’d touched on something she’d rather not discuss. Throughout the meeting, she’d answered every question with the composure of someone who’d prepared for every possible objection, yet that small reaction suggested there were still things about her I hadn’t accounted for. “Is there supposed to be a particular reason?” she asked. “Most companies have a story behind their names.” “Some do. Others choose something memorable, register it, and build a business around it.” She folded her hands on the table. “CALIX was a practical choice. It’s distinctive, easy to recognize across different markets, and doesn’t tie the company to one particular region. That matters when you’re

CHAPTER 18 KIERANThe visit to the hospital was supposed to take less than an hour. One of my warriors had been injured during a routine patrol along the eastern border, and although the physician assured Brian that the wound wasn't serious, the circumstances surrounding the incident needed my attention. Two patrol members had given slightly different accounts of what happened, and I wasn't interested in allowing a disagreement between my people to turn into a larger problem. By the time I'd spoken to the warrior, reviewed the incident report, and instructed the head of security to investigate the matter properly, I was already running behind schedule.Brian was waiting near the main entrance when I came out of the administrative wing, holding my phone in one hand and a folder in the other. He'd been trying to reach me about a meeting with the pack council, but I'd ignored his calls while dealing with the patrol report."The council wants an answer before tomorrow," he said as we h

Chapter 20 KieranThe elders had been questioning my handling of the CALIX negotiations for nearly forty minutes when I finally lost patience with the meeting.Their concerns weren't entirely unreasonable. The partnership mattered to the pack, and every week we spent without an agreement put us at a disadvantage against neighboring territories that already had access to the northern trade routes. What irritated me was their insistence that the delay reflected a failure on my part rather than the difficulty of negotiating with a company that had built its reputation on refusing unfavorable terms."We can't keep waiting for Vivienne Hayes to decide whether she wants to work with us," Elder Rowan said. "There are other companies available, Alpha. Perhaps it's time we stopped chasing one that clearly doesn't value this partnership.""CALIX controls routes the other companies can't offer us," I replied. "We've already reviewed the alternatives. None of them gives us the same access, and s
