I answered the phone quickly, confused as to why Elder Thorin was contacting me directly.
“Ms. Palmer, I’d like to see you in my office.” The elder’s voice was gentle, but even a human like me understood the unspoken
command underlying every word the elder ever spoke. Even Alphas obeyed the elders-typically.
After giving the order, he hung up the phone, leaving no room for me to refuse or ask any questions.
C rap. I was pretty sure Griffon was up there, since I’d seen him on the private elevator. The last thing I wanted to do was see
him, but if Elder Thorin wanted to see me, it must be
important.
Ever since I had started working for the Midwest Packs Corporation, the Elder Thorin had always been friendly and kind to me,
so I forced myself to his office. Even though I’d quit this job, I still wanted to be respectful of him and treat him. how he’d always
treated me.
Many wolf-shifters weren’t kind to humans, and certainly not in a situation like this, where I was directly working with all of

I made my way to the private elevator, and the up to Elder
Thorin’s office, concentrating on putting one foot in front of
the other and trying to keep my mind off who was likely in his
office.
Just as I had expected, Griffon sat in Elder Thorin’s office talking to him.

After what happened with the Starke pack, the Knight pack unexpectedly postponed the bidding for a few days.
As a result, the bidding had not begun yet, which meant that
the Starke pack had never doubted the contract’s authenticity.
Moreover, Roman was injured and in a coma. He might not
have time to hand over the fake contract to the Starke pack.
I was worried that when Roman woke up and discovered something wrong with the fake contract, he would come to me to get
even. Had everything gone to plan, I would have never had to deal with the fallout from the fake contract.

contract only being a small piece of what the Starke pack was currently dealing with.
He was going to have to figure out have to get his father, Alpha Starke, out of jail. And then there were all of the pack’s legal
issues surrounding bribery and tax evasion...not to mention Roman’s own issues regarding his treatment of
women.
And that was all if Roman himself wasn’t involved in the pack’s legal issues right alongside his father. For all I knew, they’d end
up in silver together sharing a cell.
By the time he was done with the endless list of things he had to take care of, I’d probably be dead anyways. Even if he wanted
to settle the score, he wouldn’t be able to.
I composed my thoughts and was about to knock on the door before walking into the room when I heard a few people talking
about the Sterling pack in Wolverly Capital.
