The hotel bar was quiet, just like Jane had said. A few businessmen were sitting in the corner nursing whiskeys, and a couple at the other end of the bar looked like they were on a first date. Other than that, it was empty.

Jane and I took seats at the bar itself, and the bartender came over immediately. I ordered a whiskey, neat, and Jane ordered a cosmo before turning to me with a smile.

“So, tomorrow we’re meeting with Alpha James from the Riverside pack. He’s a bit old–fashioned, so we’ll need to play up the traditional values angle.‘

“}

I nodded, taking a sip of my drink when it arrived. “What else?”

“Not much other than the fact that he’s very concerned about pack security. So if you play up that kind of thing, it should go over well. I made sure to schedule the easier packs first.” She winked.

We talked strategy for a while. Jane was good at her job, I had to give her that. She knew exactly what to say to each pack leader, how to frame things to get the response we needed.

But as the night went on, something shifted. Jane leaned in closer when she talked, her hand brushing against my arm more than once. She laughed at everything, and kept trying to convince me to order another round of drinks.

“You know,” she said, her voice dropping lower, “I’ve always admired you, Alexander. The way you handle everything with such grace. You’re a good Alpha King, truly.”

I set my drink down. “Jane-”

“You’re under so much pressure right now.” She reached out and touched my hand. “I really do want to help

you.‘

I pulled my hand back. “I think it’s time to call it a night.” She’d only had one drink, but maybe she didn’t drink often. I decided not to hold it against her; maybe she would apologize for her behavior in the morning.

Jane’s smile faltered for just a second before snapping back into place. “Of course. I didn’t mean to overstep.”

“It’s fine.” I stood up and pulled out my wallet, leaving enough cash on the bar to cover both our drinks. “I’ll see you in the morning.”

I left before she could respond, heading straight for the elevator. All the while, my mind raced. What the hell was that? Had Jane actually been trying to seduce me?

Back in my room, I locked the door and leaned against it, pulling my phone out. I still had no service, so I couldn’t call Ella to say goodnight. I decided to just go to bed so I could wake up and get tomorrow’s meeting over with.

After a long and hot shower, I climbed into bed and turned off the light. Sleep came faster than I expected. But I couldn’t have been asleep for long when I suddenly woke to the sensation of something heavy sitting on my chest. My eyes snapped open, and in the darkness, I could make out a figure straddling me.

“What the-”

A hand clamped over my mouth. Jane.
