The Alpha's Broken Mate Glimpse of power
The smell of fear thickened in the war room as reports kept coming in. My fingers flew over the keyboard, following a web of financial deceit through Wolfe Industries. "Got something," I said, tugging Callum's attention from his phone. "The authorizations all came from a single terminal in the executive wing. Terminal ID matches." I let the words trail off, blood turning cold."Matches what?" Callum asked. There was an edge in his voice."Amelia's office."The silence that followed was resounding. Amelia Thornton - pack elder, board member, and the woman who'd warned me about a rising power. Had she been playing us all along?"That can't be," Fiona cut in. "Amelia's family has been loyal to the Wolfes for generations.""Numbers don't lie." I turned the laptop toward them. "Every transfer, every shell company, all traced back to her terminal."Callum's phone buzzed again. His face clouded over as he read the message. "Viktor wasn't the only one. They found the Swedish Alpha's body. Sam

The ancient oak doors loomed before me, carved wolves seeming to leap in the flickering torchlight. My fingers brushed against Callum's suit jacket, seeking reassurance I wasn't ready to admit I needed."Ready?" Callum's voice was low, meant only for me."As I'll ever be." I squared my shoulders, thanking whatever star aligned to grant me a designer dress worthy of a lot more poise than I currently owned. "Though I still think bringing a former human to the Alpha Council may be perceived as.insensitive.""You're my mate." His jaw worked his tone final. "They'll deal with it."It seemed that the groan of the heavy doors as they swung open had echoed along the private wing. The setting sun was shining through the stained glass window, casting blood-red shadows on the teak surface, where twelve ornate chairs were drawn up to a huge circular table. My enhanced senses picked up mingled scents of anxiety, ambition, and something darker that stirred my wolf uneasily.Viktor Petrov was the fi

The musty scent of ancient parchment filled my lungs as I traced my fingers over the crumbling manuscript. Isabella's sharp intake of breath beside me broke the heavy silence of the London Pack House archives."Olivia, look at this." She quivered, her finger dancing to a part of text; ancient runes danced across the dimly lit area. "When pure blood meets tainted, the old ways shall rise again."My heart stuttered. "What's that supposed to mean?""It's a prophecy." Isabella's voice had dwindled down to a whisper. "One speaking of purifying bloodlines."Above us, footsteps-Callum in his office-dealt with the constant stream of messages from traditional Alpha families. Every step sounded just like the cadence of doom approaching."There's more," Isabella said, her finger tracing the page. "The prophecy speaks of a ritual. something about the purifying of the wolf-blood."A cold shiver ran down my spine as my phone buzzed. From Fiona: *Where are you? Emergency.*"We need to tell Callum,"

I squinted at my monitor, the endless stream of numbers and financial data on the screen beginning to blur. Midnight was long since past, but I couldn't stop-not now that I was getting close."Come on, show me what you're hiding," I muttered, cross-referencing another set of transactions.My office in London's financial district overlooked the glittering skyline, but I barely paid any attention anymore. Three days of obsessive digging through corporate records had left me running on nothing but coffee and determination.The soft ping of an incoming message drew my attention.

My fingers traced the intricate patterns of the werewolf bloodlines on the ancient tapestry as if my life depended on it. The rain clawed at the leaded glass windows of Callum's study, casting wavering shadows across the scattered reports of recent pack attacks."These attacks aren't random." My voice cut through the tension-filled silence. "Look at the pattern, Callum. Every targeted pack has the same profile."Callum's pacing stopped. "What do you mean?""Large quantities of turned wolves. Human mates." I pivoted, facing him while my analyst's brain churned the numbers. "Someone is targeting specific packs.

The e-mail on my screen sent chills running down my spine."Just wanted to follow up on our discussion regarding the Q3 projections." Marcus's words stared at me, each sentence a red flag. We'd been trading together for a decade and a half. This was not Marcus."Something's wrong." I muttered, scanning the message again. The Marcus I knew never used phrases like "circling back" or "touch base." He was direct, almost blunt. This email read like a corporate template.A knock at my door jerked me out of that reverie. Callum filled the doorway, a commanding presence even in a perfectly tailored Tom Ford suit. But the tight set of his jaw told me he wasn't there to make a social visit."Board meeting in ten minutes," he said without preamble, amber eyes raking my face. "You found something."It wasn't a question. The mate bond between us hummed with shared tension, even if we tried to keep things professional at work."Marcus Chen's latest communications."

My hands shaking, I traced the worn leather binding of the pack records. The setting sun cast long shadows across my office at Wolfe Industries, each darkening stripe a reminder of how much I stood to lose if I was wrong. Or right."Someone's been feeding to Edinburgh." I growled low to myself, scanning page after page of meetings that shouldn't have leaked. Last time the pack was betrayed-three dead. That couldn't happen again, but being on the investigating end into Callum's inner circle made me a traitor in my own right.A jarring knock yanked me out of my reverie. I slammed the journal shut as Fiona filled the doorway, her copper curls catching what was left of the light."Plan on sharing what's had you buried in the archives?"

The Alpha's Broken Mate Shadows of Power
The moon cast long shadows across Callum's office, where stacks of missing persons reports littered his normally pristine desk. I clutched the financial documents in my hands as the weight of what I had found hit me squarely between the eyes."Callum," I called, the tension evident in my tight voice. "We have a problem."He glanced up, his amber eyes flashing in a heartbeat. Same effect my heart got, despite all we had survived so far. "What'd you find?""Someone has been siphoning funds out of Wolfe Industries." I fanned the documents out over his desk, nudged the reports detailing the missing werewolves out of the way. "Shell companies. They all belong to various known hunter organizations. Systematic transfers-the dates go back months.""Show me." Callum's voice held that razor's edge I'd become so familiar with-the Alpha strangling his anger.I indicated the records of the transactions. "Here. Regular payments, always just shy of the reporting threshold. Whoever did this, knows ou
