My heart hammered as I found myself staring into his amber eyes, half–lidded but intense. “Sebastien, I gasped, trying to pull away. “Wake up. You need to let me go.”

Instead of releasing me, he rolled to his side, pulling me with him. His heat nestled against my shoulder, his nose brushing the skin of my neck where my scent was strongest.

“Don’t move,” he mumbled, his voice carrying the unmistakable Alpha comand that made my muscles lock involuntarily.

He wrapped his arm around my waist, dragging me closer until my back pressed against his chest. His breathing grew steady against my neck. sending unwanted shivers down my spine.

I tried to wiggle free, but his grip tightened. “Sebastien Grey,” I said firmly, hoping his full name might break through his drunken haze.

His eyes remained closed, but his lips parted slightly. “Iris…” he whispered, so softly I barely heard it.

The sound of my name on his lips made my heart stutter. Not Megan. Not the blonde from the bar. My name.

While waiting, I observed the bustling lobby, imagining my future here. This was my chance to build something for myself and my babies–a life independent of Grey family protection.

“Miss Stone?” A friendly voice interrupted my thoughts. “I’m Michael. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Mr. Foster speaks highly of your design

talent.”

I shook his hand, noting the subtle wolf scent. “Thank you, Mr. Parker. That’s very kind, but I still have much to learn.”

Michael gave me a comprehensive tour, explaining the company’s structure and design philosophy. His praise seemed genuine, making me feel cautiously optimistic.

“Honestly,” Michael confided as we walked down a corridor, “before meeting you, I couldn’t believe you were still a college student. It’s even more impressive considering you’re…” He stopped suddenly, seeming to catch himself.
