CHAPTER #44 “A RACE TO THE FREELAND” Meredith’s POV: I awoke in a room that I was unaccustomed to, my eyes flickering as I attempted to regain my bearings. A faint headache lingered as I slid up the headboard, positioning myself upright and allowing my eyes to adjust.

Meredith sits up front with the other male shifter keeping up a steady stream of pleasant, if a bit shallow, conversation with Remy. Objectively speaking, Meredith is absolutely gorgeous and I can see why Julian—and his pack—might want a mating alliance with hers. Her pack lives in the northern part of Michigan they call the ‘up’. Which is a super weird name to be honest, but whatever. They operate a string of lakeside resorts and properties, which are likely very lucrative. All big plusses for Julian’s pack. Compared to me with no pack and nothing to my name but the ten grand I basically stole that’s stuffed in my waistband… Meredith is a much better prospect.

I own two of the people in that room. I sat down on the edge of the couch. Outside, the city glittered in the early morning light, all glass and ambition and perfectly maintained surfaces hiding the machinery underneath.
