Finn POV"You can never change, always rushing everywhere to make sure that your money is intact," he said with a smile.I shrugged. "If I don't take my business very well, I will go broke, and you know what will happen to me if that ever happens."He nodded. "Yep. Many packs will tear you apart for selling weapons to their opponents. But don't worry. If you give me those two new enterprises that you started, then I might be tempted to protect you from them."I scoffed, not only because of what he said but mostly because he said that he would protect me if he knew about my involvement in what happened to his mom. I am sure that he would have made me an example. Hayden was not the forgiving type, just like me."Please, it will never come to that, and like I told you, the main reason why I came is to see your beautiful mate who was sick," I teased, and he scoffed.He rolled his eyes. "Sure, I believe you. Did Donovan contact you for a new business deal?"I shoo
Hayden povAlix was in bed after eating her dinner. She was still feeling dizzy, even though she would not admit it, so it was my job to get her in bed whenever she fell asleep on a chair, or at least make sure that where she was lying was comfortable.My phone started shaking. I had set an alarm to remind myself that I had a meeting with Lucien and his friend, who was trailing Ann for me. Lucien had mentioned that they had a problem that I had not looked into yet and told him to hold on.Leo had sent me the videos and pictures he had gotten, which I managed to watch a few before my mate woke up, but now that she is asleep, I have time on my hands. I needed to see what they had guarded and use it against her.I need to get rid of Ann and her cohorts because it seems that the longer I wait, the more they strategize. So I was going to do things my old way.I hurried down to my living room since there was no one in the house except both of us. As I had dismiss
Hayden's PovWhen I finished watching the videos and listening to the audio, I knew that I had to do something about the snakes in my park. But first, I needed to get that bastard who tried to kill my Luna, Simeon, or whatever his name is, before I could put the other pieces of the puzzle together. I will use him and get them to confess their crimes. I grabbed the books and pictures that I had gathered on the motherfucker, and since we know his real name, getting information on him was easy. There was this note in our library when we hosted the moon ceremony, and many packs were in attendance. Abel and his father had escorted their Alpha. My father had written the vices of the men in attendance and sent it to his brother, Uncle Josiah. For them to know what to keep an eye on in all of them, Abel had women and greed written beside his name. I looked at all the pictures in front of me, and he had a woman hanging from his hand in all of them. Most of the pi
I could hear my father asking and saying something, but I ignored it and he must have taken a hint and did not mind link me.I was about to ask Josh to ring the bell so I could send a general message to everyone through the mind link when I felt someone pushing at the back of my head. It turned out to be Lucien."What?" I asked him."Did you send Peter here?" He asked me."No, why would I send Peter where my twins are? Is he in your house?""No, not yet in. But he is on his way here.""How did he get through your gates?""I did not think that he would come here, so I never told anyone not to allow him in. I would have gone outside and brought him out with me, but I am helping my mate wash the dishes."I would have laughed under normal circumstances, but since Peter was going to where my children were, I had to do something fast."Don't worry, I got this," I said, then started mind-linking Peter immediately."Alpha, he answered."Where are you? It does not matter. Come immediately to t
Ana povThe bell started to ring as we were talking, and Joe touched Hayden's hand."I know I do not say this very often, but I am proud of you."Hayden looked like he was going to have a heart attack from the face he was making. I guess his father has never said something like this to him."Your grandchild must be rubbing off on you for you to talk about being proud of anybody."Joe scoffed but said, "Maybe?"I wanted to laugh, but I did not want to interrupt a father-son moment, so I held it in.We heard a knock on the door, and Hayden stood up immediately and rushed to the door, but when he looked at me, it was like he caught himself. He was not wearing a shirt, but that was normal for male wolves; they hardly wore shirts since their bodies were always hot, but then I was wearing a nightgown since I was not going anyway today, and he was giving me a look that meant, Go change."Who is it?""Doctor Joel and two nurses, go get dressed.""I thought that they
Alex PovI stood up and looked at the clock because I did not think that I had slept that long for it to be four o'clock already, but he was correct."I see you at the meeting," Joe said and headed to the door."We should get going then," I said and stood up, but Hayden pulled me back."It's already evening; everywhere will be cold outside. Go grab a jacket or coat.""Nope, I feel fine; carrying a jacket for a meeting that may just last for a minute is not on the list of things I want to do.""Why not? The meeting is going to last more than a minute, maybe up to an hour, because I want to instill fear in a lot of people," he said.I gave him a look. "What are you up to, Hayden? Why do you need to input fear into anyone?"He shrugged. "For many things.""Like?" I asked him."Like making sure that no one tries to kidnap you again, poison the twins, or even tries to gun you down.""Okay, let's go then," I said because I trusted Hayden. He knows what he is doi
The part about writing out the expenses we made was starting to cause confusion, So Hayden started to clarify what he meant. "I did not ask you to write out everything spent; just put everything bought for your family together and put an estimated amount to it. That way, we can work together to find the culprit."He explained everything to them and told them that anyone caught trying to send their money illegally or carrying it out of pack would be punished, So send it through the true means.After about forty minutes, the meeting ended."Alpha, don't we get energy drinks for standing so long?" A girl who was about six or seven years old said.Everyone started laughing, including Hayden, and the girl's mother started dragging her out of the place, but Hayden called the woman back."Leave her alone Tabitha, and Grace, yes, there should be energy drinks and snacks. So you are free to grab any snacks of your choice and an energy drink from the pack store.""Say thank you, Alpha," said t
Hayden povI settled down into the chair and then called him back because he had been blowing my phone while I was eating dinner with Lexie. I guess it was because I threatened him when I spoke to him at Lucien's place about the tracking of all the cash leaving the pack. ***"It's already set up Alpha, and I also added a feature where we are alerted about every transaction as soon as it's done.""Good job," I said, "but I have another one for you.""What is it, Alpha?""I need you to create a job about killing someone that will seem so believable and add a reasonable amount of money to it. Be generous with the cash.""I don't understand," Lucien said.I finished the rum in my glass and placed it back on the table. "Find an asshole that deserves to die; put a hunt on his head; say something like he killed your kid or your brother, and you cannot seem to get over it even though it happened ten, nine, or eight years ago; take your pick. Put a reasonable sum of mo
