Chapter 22KieranI'd barely finished breakfast when Brielle remarked that I seemed to have a lot on my mind lately. She said it casually, while pouring herself another cup of tea, but I knew her well enough to recognize when a question was hiding behind an observation."Is something wrong with the CALIX negotiations?" she asked. "You've been distracted for days.""The negotiations are fine. We're still working through the terms.""With Vivienne Hayes?"I looked up from my phone. "She's the company's CEO. Who else would I be negotiating with?"Brielle didn't appreciate the answer, but she let it pass. She'd never liked the idea of me spending so much time dealing with another woman, even when the circumstances were entirely professional. I suspected she believed there was something personal behind my interest in CALIX, and I couldn't entirely blame her for noticing that my attention had been elsewhere. What she didn't know was that the businesswoman wasn't the only person occupying m

Chapter 24 KIERANI was walking through the administrative wing when one of the guards fell into step beside me, carrying a thin folder."Alpha, this is what you asked for."I slowed down and took the folder from him. "The old records?""Yes, sir. Brian asked the archives department to gather everything relating to Ronan's birth and the arrangements made during the first few months after he was born. These are the copies they could locate.""Where are the originals?""Still in the archives. Some of the older documents are being checked because the records aren't organized properly."I nodded and continued toward my office. I'd requested the documents two days earlier, after noticing a few inconsistencies in the information Brian had gathered about the pack's early arrangements for Ronan. At first, I'd assumed the discrepancies were ordinary administrative mistakes. Our records department had changed personnel several times over the years, and some documents had been transferred betwe

CHAPTER 26CALISTAI knew Selena was preparing for something long before the first complaint reached my desk.For the past few days, she'd been unusually cooperative during meetings, which was almost more suspicious than her previous attempts to challenge my decisions. She'd stopped questioning every instruction in front of the other executives and had begun sending carefully worded emails about operational concerns, always making sure to copy the relevant department heads. Anyone who didn't know her would have assumed she'd finally accepted my authority. I knew better. Selena wasn't the type to abandon a disagreement simply because she'd failed to win it.Unfortunately, I hadn't expected her next move to involve one of our most important commercial opportunities.The message came from the head of international partnerships shortly after nine in the morning. Westbridge Logistics had suddenly suspended its final review of our proposed agreement. My hardwork of months down the drain.Th

CHAPTER 28KIERANI hadn't expected the journey to the distribution facilities to be particularly interesting, but travelling with Vivienne turned out to be different from sitting across a conference table from her. Without the executives, the legal representatives, and the constant need to defend their respective companies' interests, our conversations were easier. She still maintained a certain distance, but I was beginning to understand that it wasn't necessarily because she disliked me. She simply seemed accustomed to keeping people at arm's length.She sat beside me in the back of the car, reviewing the inspection schedule on her tablet while Brian handled a few calls in the front passenger seat. Every now and then, she'd make a note or return to a previous page to check something. I eventually asked whether she'd visited the facility before, and she explained that she'd inspected similar distribution centres in other regions but preferred to see the actual operations rather than
