Grease and juice ran down my hand as I picked up the burger to take a bite. As soon as my teeth sank into th bun, the juice squirted in my mouth before running down my chin.

Adaline had a mouth full of wrap, but still managed to laugh at me. “Here!” She reached over for a napkin and handed it to me.

Chewing quickly, I had to genuinly nod in amusment. “Thank you.” I could finally say. Cleaning the juice off, it was honestly a great burger. “That is good.”

Adaline just smiled at me and took another bite. Reaching for the ketchup, I put some on my plate for my fries. We ate in silence for awhile. Adaline finished her meal and sat patiently until I was done with mine.

“How was it?” I was currently using the last fry to clean up any remaining ketchup on my plate.

“Delicious.” After going through four napkins, I felt finally clean from all that juice and grease. My stomach was going to be dying later, but it was a good burger. It’s been ages since I had something so greasy.

    Grace POV“Are you coming?” Ethan was standing at the enterance to the closet. We just landed back at our pack and I was trying to wrap my head around everything that had happened. We stayed until the building was successfully on fire and then left. Vincent refused to leave my side, coming back to my pack for a few days. Hopefully, we should get answered from the victims soon. “Yeah. I’m coming.” Grabbing my old, stained pair of shoes, I was already dressed in all black. “You’re not participating.” Ethan repeated for the thousand time. “Yes, I will… if he only talks to me, yeah, I will.” We were headed to talk to Lion. “Grace…” Ethan was worried about me. Emotionally, I was all over the place, but I needed answers. “I’m fine. You will be able to tell if I can’t handle it, okay?” Standing up, I looked at Ethan with my hands on my hips. “You can’t keep me from this.” His eyes drilled into me. “I just want to protect you.” His eyes stayed on me as I took a few steps towards him.

    Something flashed behind his eyes. “I ain’t no snitch.” He spit out. “Why does Zach want Grace so much?” Travis asked. He put his hand on my shoulder. He pulled me back, so he was in front. The rag slipped, allowing the blood to seep into it. Lion’s eyes stayed on the rag. “Why else would anyone want to get their hands on a security system that almost every pack in the U.S uses?” His eyes kept looking at his leg and back up at Travis. “Are you going to stop that?” There was a very audiable snap as someone pulled off their belt. Rif walked forward, wrapped it around his leg and tightened it. Lion’s jaw clenched tightly, but he didn’t yell out. “What do you know about Zach’s family?” Ethan’s voice was firm but quiet.It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Lion’s eyes shifted over to Ethan with humor in them. “Look at you figuring something out.” “What about his family?” Travis looked at Ethan and then back at Lion.“Haven’t told anyone?” Lion laughed, pleasently surprised.

    “Guess who knows where they are?” Lion broke the silence.No one stopped Travis from pounding on him. He was getting his wish and he wouldn’t be making it out of this room. Some people were looking at the ground. Ethan was looking at me, and I was looking into Vincent’s eyes. “What’s his name?” My throat was dry, making it hard to speak clearly above the sounds of fist hitting flesh. I was pretty sure Lion was dead, but Travis wasn’t stopping. “Christian Dean.” Tears threatened to fall down my face. Christian was the maiden name of our mother. Obviously Dean was after our dad. A solid family name for when he took over the pack. Blinking a few times, I wasn’t sure what to do. What to think. “We need to send warriors to keep her safe.” Rif said quietly. “I send some earlier, but I want to get her extracted.” I felt Vincent’s eyes leave me. “Her name is Adaline. I’ll have her brought to my pack and we can keep her safe there.” “Vincent, I’m sorry, but you need to face reality. If L

    Zach POV“Thank you so much for coming to fix my sink. I can’t believe you found so many toys in there!” Adaline was both relieved and embaressed. Using an old rag she handed me, I was cleaning off my hands when her little boy came running into the room. “Mommy! Mommy! Bad guys!” Adaline looked around. “Bad guys?” She knelt down to his eyes. “Chris, what has mommy said about bad guys?” “But mommy! I saw three!” He pointed at his window.“Those must be the guys Vincent sent…” Adaline stood up and bit her lip.“Let me go check and make sure.” I tried to give her a reassuring smile.“I can’t ask you to do that…” She looked nervously down at Chris. “And I can’t leave you in trouble.” Tossing my rag down, my heart started to race. The exitment I got from knowing I get to kill someone is the best thing. “Turn all the lights off and go hide.” I whispered as I got low and ran to the back door. It was going to work out in my favor that they didn’t know I was here. However, I was going to

    There was a pause. “If you touch a fucking hair on her fucking head…” Vincent couldn’t finish that sentence. “She is safe for now.” I laughed. Moving to stand in the driveway, I saw her looking down at Chris, talking.“She is happy and talking with Chris. Of course, that will only continue on a few demands.” “What the fuck do you want?” Vincent growled. In the background, I could hear something shatter. I could only imagine what he had chucked across the room. “You know what? I think you are too emotional for this conversation. We have a long road trip ahead of us so I am going to let you go. I’ll call you back after you have calmed down.” “ZA-” Is all I heard as I hit end. As I walked to the truck, it was too easy to turn off the phone and slip it in my pocket. “Ready?” Adaline asked. “Yes, but where is your phone?” “I-in my pocket…” She pulled it out to show me. Without asking, I snatched it from her and tossed it out the window. Putting the truck in reverse, I started moving

    Grace POVHe’s sedated, but it won’t last long. His wolf is fighting it hard.” The doctor checked his watch. “I’ll be back in every thirty minutes until you want him to wake up to keep administering it.” “Thank you.” Everyone was standing around, breathing heavily. It took every single alpha to pin Vincent down for the doctor to sedate him. “We are going to move him to a bedroom down the hall.” The doctor nodded before walking out. “I got the room ready…” Callie’s soft voice cut the tension. Rif, Nox, Alejandro and Leo carried Vincent out of the office. My mind was still trying to comprehend what was going on. “You knew he was stealing the company system?” Jolene had some anger in her voice. Looking up at her, my eyes scanned the room. Everyone was waiting for an answer. Only when everyone was back in our office and the door was closed, did I answer. “I knew he approved for the company services to be free of charge at a location. I didn’t know why. I sure as hell didn’t know I had

    Everyone moved to gather around Damon. There was a sky view of a compound. There was a large brick exterior barrier. The house was fucking massive with balconies on the roof. It looked like there were guards with snipers on them. Occationally there were little glimpsesses, but it looked like there were even barsars on the windows. “I think it’s safe to say they might be using the security system.” Damon started.“Not to mention the snipers on the roof.” Nox said sarcastically. “Attacking from all the sides is possible. However, there isn’t a better way than the rest.” Leo got closer and narrowed his eyes. “I’ll print this out and the other target. We can seperate into two teams and they can decide on the best course of action.” Damon pressed print twice before shutting his laptop. “What are the teams?” Nox looked directly at Ethan. “Same as before. Me, Nox, and Vincent. Then Alejandro, Rif, and Leo.” “Do you think you can handle Vincent?” Rif looked at Ethan.“I can.” I said fir

    Zach POV“Boss, you have a visitor.” I was sitting in my office. It was currrently 5 in the morning. Everyone should be sleeping so why the fuck did I have a vistor?“Who is it?” The guard smirked and stepped aside. “Well, who else?” Derek raised his arms in surprise. “The fuck are you doing here?” I was instantly annoyed. My fist gripped my pen so hard that it snapped in half, making ink seep everywhere. Derek sat down in the chair like he owned the fucking place. “Little birdy told me that you took something that didn’t belong to you.” “What? Going to run and tell your little alpha that I have his child?” Raising my eyebrow at him, I knew he wasn’t going to do shit. Vincent didn’t know that Derek was the dirty man behind all his dad's work. Dean wanted to keep his son’s hands clean, so he got his best friends dirty instead. The dirt I had on Derek was pages long. However, after all the years of working outside the box, Derrick had grown a taste for it. “Or better yet, going to te

    “CHRISTIAN!” I yelled back. He laughed, as that was our thing. Ethan set me down when we got to the top. Christian instantly wrapped his arms around my legs. “I missed you! You are getting so tall!” “Hey, sis.” Vincent walked up to me with his arm out. With my belly, I could only do a side hug these days.“How is my little nephew doing?” Vincent shook Ethan’s hand. “Very happy where he is at.” Vincent has been a little of a recluse this last year. Finding out the truth, being a full-time day and looking for a beta has kept him from coming around as often. Fortuantly, everyone has sympathized with him. They have really accepted him into our friend’s group. However, Roxie and Zoey are on a kick to find him a mate. Vincent game me a smile and scooped Christian up. “Let’s go inside or we will miss the party.” Ethan held the door for us before quickly resuming his spot next to me. The moment we walked in, my breath was caught in my throat. It was just like I imagined it to be. A larg

    1 year later“Grace! We got to go! Everyone is waiting for us!” Ethan was standing at our bedroom door. “I’m COMING!” I growled back. My swollen belly was ready to pop at any moment. Our little baby boy was loving kicking his mother in the lungs so much that he refused to leave. “I can only move so fast!” “You are the most beautiful pregnant person…ever.” Ethan smiled at me as I walked out of the bedroom. The stretchy black evening gown clung to my body, really making my stomach look much skinner than I felt. From the back, you would never know I was pregnant, which confused me. My belly was very round, like a ball. “This is all your fault.” Rolling my eyes at him, I couldn’t help the smile that spread across my face. Ethan walked over and gave me his arm. “Thank you.” “Just think…” Ethan patted my hand. “…. you get to do this many more times!” Looking up and glaring at him, “I will kick you in the nuts and end all of that.” Ethan laughed at me. I doubt anything would hurt his m

    By the time we made it to the club, I had taken a few more shots, and the buzz was going. The club was bouncing. Music could be heard from outside. There was a line down the sidewalk and neon lights were flashing all around. This was the vibe that I was hoping for. “Ethan, I want to check on the computers. With everyone here, I haven’t actually got to see it yet and I want to check it.” I had to shout since the music was so loud and we weren’t even inside. “Grace, you are a little drunk….” Ethan raised his eyebrows at me. “Please? I’m not going to touch it. Just want to make sure it’s okay.” Grabbing his arm, I put on my most pathetic face I could.” “Fine…” Ethan rolled his eyes, but smirked. Wrapping his arm around me, he lead the way inside. “Callie, get everyone situated with drinks. We will catch up.” Ethan instantly lead me away to his office. It was more packed than I had ever seen it. Granted, I had only been here like three times, but this was packed. More than once, we g

    “What do you have that is the best with crab?” Theresa thought for a moment. “Try the crab trio. There are three different ways crab is cooked. I think one is the crab alfrado, a mushroom stuffed crab and just steamed crab legs with a pepper, garlic butter to dip it in.” “That sounds perfect.” “Great. Would you like your legs already de-shelled?” “Yes, please.” I said right as the guys came back. “I’ll have a crab cake, please.” Jolene smiled at Theresa. Theresa returned the smile. “For you two?” She looked at them. “Seafood fried roll.” Ethan sighed and downed his drink. “I got another round coming.” She said instantly. Ethan nodded and put his arm back around me. “What did Vincent say?” I asked Ethan in the mind-link, so I didn’t hear what Nox, Stella or Rif ordered. “Well, turns out they were all people that went missing states away. None were from the same state, but they were all scholars in hacking or something cyber. Vincent thinks Zach or Derek had placed them there

    Just as Ethan stood up, we arrived at the restaurant. I couldn’t help the sly smile that spread across my face before bitting my lower lip. “Let’s go,” Ethan said before clearing his throat. He gave me a little nudge to get off the bus. “Where are we?” I asked as I stepped off. Ethan was quick behind me, wrapping his arm around my waist. “This is one I have wanted to bring you to since I met you. It’s a very upscale seafood place. I know your favorite food is crab and I think they will have what you want here.” Ethan smiled down at me.“I love this place!” Callie squealed. “Their lobster is absolutely amazing!” “I’ve never been here!” Zoey grabbed Leo’s hand, and they started the train to the front doors. “We have a reservation. It’s under Boone.” Callie yelled from the back. By the time we walked in, the hostess walked off from the front. Zoey turned and smiled at us. I couldn’t help but look around. There was a massive sword fish mounted on the wall. The lighting was low, dark

    After the house burnt down, we had to transport everyone back to their respected packs. However, all of our friends had to come back one last time to our pack and gather their belongings. Since they were already here, we had one last night together. Ethan set up a romanic evening that ended with everyone at the club for a night of dancing. All the girls were in my bedroom getting dressed. Callie had on a champain squence colored dress. It volumized her breast with a completely open back and only strings tolding it up. Her ass was about to hang out, but she looks amazing.Zoey had on a similar colored dress, but the top was more of a bra. Her stomach was open to a skirt that sinched at the side. Roxie was wearing a scarlett red dress. With long sleeves, the top was just enough fabric to cover her tits. It was an open stomach, but one side went down to a skirt that went to her calf. The other side had a slit that went to her hip, completely exposing her very toned legs. Stella was wea

    Vincent turned and looked at us. “Let’s go home.” He whispered and walked past us. Christian was clinging to Vincent like his life depended on it. “Keep your eyes closed, bud.” He said as he walked out of the house. We all followed him. The battle was over and our warriors were collecting the dead. In the front was Derek’s body, Zach and Adaline. There was a rather large pile of men off to the side and a more respectible line of men that were ours. Leo was barking order with Damon, but Stella caught my attention. She was standing over Derek’s body with tears running down her face. Walking out of Ethan’s arms, I came up to Stella. She met my eyes before looking down again. “W-what happened?” I hesitated before speaking. I wasn’t sure how this was going to impact our friendship. Though it had already been rocky as it was. “Grace?” Rif walked up behind Stella. Putting a hand around his waist, he nodded. “Whatever it is, just tell us.” I knew I had everyone’s attention at this point.

    Grabbing a lock of hair, I twisted it in my fingers. “You know Vincent, she used Derek’s weakness and let him believe for three years that he betrayed you.” Vincent’s hand wrapped around his neck. He squeezed hard enough to make her hurt but not enough to stop the breathing. “What should I do? Kill her or put her in my dungeon to years’ worth of torture?” “I’m sorry! I can turn my life around and be the mother that Christian deserves. I only ever wanted to be a mate to you.” She batted her eyelashes at Vincent. His grip tightened around her neck. “Nothing I do will be enough. It won’t be enough to vengue Derek, my dad or the years of head games you put on our son that I’ll have to fix.” Tighter, he squeezed until his hand started shaking. “I regret ever sleeping with you, ever touching you, or even meeting you. The only good thing in my life is Christian. I’m going to take your body and make a mockery of it. You will be an example of what it means to cross me. I’m more powerful than

    Ethan, Vincent, and I just stared at her with our mouths hanging open. “Derek thought he betrayed Vincent. He did everything to keep Vincent out of danger and keep his kid safe and you were playing him.” My anger was rising as her words sank in. “You let Derek live with this weight on him for years.” Adaline shrugged. “Who is Derek to me?” She mirrored those words, knowing it was going to get under my skin. “Now, my child is an heir to not only the mafia family, but to a very powerful wolf pack and a blood relative to a very profitable security business.”“You never wanted me to create a program. All this was a lie to get the three of us here.” The truth came crashing down on me.Marco pointed his gun at me. “You are a very hard person to get ahold of. I told Zach to kidnap you by any means needed. He almost got you fucking killed. I’m happy you survived, but yes, however, Ethan was only part of it because he mated to you. I just wanted Vincent and you.” “Your dad was incredibly ann
