1 stared at the surveillance footage on my laptop, my jaw clenching as the rainy video showed a black redan deliberately swerving toward twe female pedestrians-Tori and Morgan-before speeding away

Jack had called me earlier with the news Id been waiting for.

We found the driver, Alpha,” he d said, his voice tense. But someone got him first.

“Dead?” I’d asked, my voice dangerously calm.

Yes, Alpha. Professional job-quick and clean. We checked his phone records. His last call was to a number registered to Mrs. Morris, approximately two hours before his death.”

My hands clenched into fists, rage coursing through me like ice fire. Someone had eliminated the driver before I could question him-

deliberately cutting off my investigation at its source.

“Get Mrs. Morris in here, I ordered, my voice dropping to a dangerous pitch. I don’t care what excuse you have to make. I want her sitting in

our reception area today.”

“Understood. I’ll make the arrangements immediately.”

A knock at my office door interrupted my thoughts.

Alpha, Jack said as he entered, “Mrs. Morris has been waiting in the reception area for nearly eight hours now.”

I didn’t look up from my screen. I’m aware.”

“She’s becoming… restless,’ Jack added carefully. “Her scent indicates increasing anxiety.”

“Good,” I replied, my voice cool and detached. ‘Let her wait a while longer

It was almost dusk when I finally rose from my desk and made my way toward the reception area.

When I finally pushed open the door, Lisa’s head snapped up, her eyes instantly lowering as her wolf recognized my dominance,

I didn’t speak as I walked to my desk, the silence stretching between us a physical thing

Chapter 44

I leaned back in my chair, deliberately casual

“Is that what you think this is, Ms Morris? A misunderstanding?”

She swallowed, her confidence wavering.

1… I’m not sure what you mean, Alpha. If I’ve done something to offend you, I would appreciate knowing what it is on I can make amends.”

I let her words hang in the air, watching the uncertainty grow in her eyes

Why don’t you think about it? Consider who you might have had conflicts with recently

Lisa’s brow furrowed in concentration. I could almost see her mind working, sorting through possibilities.

“I truly cannot recall any significant conflicts, Alpha,” she finally said, her voice taking on a placating tone. If I’ve done something wrong, I’m

more than willing to make amends. Financial compensation can be arranged if-*

“Compensation?” I cut her off with a cold laugh. “What exactly do you think is an appropriate compensation for deliberately hitting someone

with a car, Mrs. Morris?”

The effect was immediate.

Lisa’s eyes widened in shock, pupils dilating with unmistakable recognition. For a split second, her carefully constructed facade crumbled

completely.

Lisa’s POV:

My heart nearly stopped when Alpha Lucas mentioned a car accident.

Had he discovered my involvement in the hit-and-run targeting that Omeg girl? Impossible. I’d been so careful, using multiple pas

eliminating the driver…

Wait. I needed to think clearly through the panic clouding my mind.

That couldn’t possibly be Tori Sullivan-there was no way a disgraced Oga like her would have connections to tie as powerful as pha

Lucas.
