Chapter 241
New years eve
Carter

We were in New York City, the home of my mate’s won pack. Henchmen had picked
us up from the airport and delivered us to a penthouse. It had been Creedon’s,
however, Latrisha had it redecorated and every ounce of masculine bones of the
apartment were layered with soft feminine accents. Briar trailed her fingers over the
marble top of the island taking it all in. Her eyes paused on the orchids, her fingers
delicately breezing over the branch. She shrugged.
“It’s not home but I must say I like what she has done to the place.”
We both felt out of place here. She walked across the living space to the bedroom.
There was a card placed on the pillows. She picked it up and chuckled as she read
it, before handing it to me.
‘I challenge you alpha, to christen every inch of this place that you can as yours
whenever you are here, with spite.‘
It was signed ‘Trish‘
“I must say I like the way she thinks,” I let my mate know. She laughed.
“At least she didn’t send us to the house. I’d want to burn that place down,” she
said, cringing and wandering into the closet. I followed her to find the his and hers
spaces fully stocked. Her hands trailed over the finery.

“At least I don’t have to go shopping,” she said, pausing on a glittering silver gown.
She grinned.
“He always made me wear gold, I hated it.” she confessed.
“It’s suiting,” I told her.
“I suppose, but now you need to pick,” she said, pointing to my side and walking out
to freshen up. Latrisha had made it easy, too many of her chosen suits were made
precisely to match Briar’s gowns. Tonight was a big deal, we had to give the press a
story, a fabricated one, we also had to ring in the New Year with Briar as the head
of her pack. I heard the shower running and kicked out of my shoes as I rushed to
join her. Nobody had to tell me twice, I’d fuck Brair on every surface of the damn
place I could over the three days we would spend here. Starting with the shower. 1

The limo pulled up to the hotel owned by the pack, the press was here in full force,
I knew how this would work. The barrage of questions, the flash of cameras, the
absurd finery and the judgement of the elite. Carter on the other hand had no clue
besides what I had told him, doing my best to prepare him for this.
“Remember, let me lead here and handle the catty talk on my own, no dominant
male bullshit unless it’s absolutely warranted. I need to hold my own here. They
will try to get under both of our skins to get a reaction,” I repeated what I had told
him countless times.
“I got it Briar, cool as a cucumber,” he said, giving me a grin.

“Watch what you call me,” I hissed as we pulled up next in line for the valet to let
us out at the entrance.

“I’m gonna keep it to pet names as much as possible, less chance of fucking shit
up,” Carter muttered.
That was probably for the best. “We aren’t engaging with the press, they will ask a
lot of questions, probably rude ones. Face forward and try to forget they are even
there. Once we are inside we don’t have to worry about it, we stick to the story,
someone from the pack will leak my speech so they will only have the answers I
want them to have.” I tried to give him one last schooling before the limo moved
forward and the valet opened the door for us to exit.
