Consider it done, Jason nodded, turning to leave.

“And Tason.” I called after him, make sure our security team remains invisible but ready.”

The next afternoon, I stood in the presidential suite of the Grand Seattle Hotel, gazing out at the skyline while I waited.

When the door opened, I didn’t turn immediately. Let him come to me.

“Mr. Hall, Gregory greeted, his Canadian accent subtle but noticeable. “I must admit, I was surprised by your invitation.

I gestured to the seating area without a smile. “Let’s not waste time with pleasantries.”

Gregory chuckled as he took a seat opposite me. His tailored suit and manicured appearance couldn’t mask the calculating glint in his

eyes.

“You’re here about that Gray girl with the white wolf, aren’t you?” Gregory asked bluntly.

I kept my expression neutral, though my fingers tightened imperceptibly around my whiskey glass at his dismissive tone when referring to Evelyn. “What exactly do you want with Evelyn and the Sterling property?”

Gregory’s smile widened. “Straight to business. I like that.” He leaned forward. “I’ll be equally direct. I couldn’t care less about that piece of land. I only want what’s kept inside.”

“And what might that be?” I asked, though I already suspected the answer.

My wolf stirred within me, furious at his disrespect. “She’s worked harder than anyone to rebuild what’s left of the Moorheal pace and the Gray business,” I said, my eyes flashing with barely contained anger. “While you’ve been comfortable overseas, she’s been fighting battles

you can’t even imagine.”

I stood up, towering over Gregory. “Besides, who still believes in those old bloodline legends in this technological age?” I said mockingly “The property is legally hers. The courts have already decided.”

I moved toward the door, satisfied that I’d made my point. “I didn’t come here to argue pointless matters with you. I simply wanted to make something clear: Evelyn is under my protection now. Anyone who tries to harm her will answer to me.”

The threat hung in the air as I left, closing the door firmly behind me. My wolf was restless, urging me to return and physically dominate this challenger to our territory–to our mate. But I knew that wasn’t the way. Gregory Sterling was dangerous, but not because of his physical strength. His scheming was the real threat, and I needed to be smarter than him.

I swiped my arm across the table, sending glasses and documents crashing to the floor. “North American wolves are always so fucking arrogant!” I roared, pacing the suite like a caged animal.

Jake, my Beta, entered cautiously, surveying the damage. “Sir, there’s someone here to see you. Vera White from the European packs.”

My face twisted with disgust. “The White family? Send her away. I want nothing to do with them.”

“Sir,” Jake said quietly, “the White family has considerable influence in Eastern Europe. If she’s reaching out, she must want something. This could be an opportunity to gain a favor.”

I paused, considering the suggestion. The Whites weren’t to be trusted, but perhaps they could be useful.
