“So, what do you know?” Lask, throwing down some photographs of the Arkan ! have managed to find

and kill

She sits back in her seat, her pale platinum hair which has a Hinge of violet covers one eye as she

smokes her cigarette “Money first, handsome

“Not until I have the information I was promised Adriana.” I answer quietly She looks up at me almost

suspiciously.

“I need the money… I can’t afford to be tricked again.” There’s a strain in her voice now and I wonder

what exactly happened that she doesn’t trust me, even though I have always paid.

“I know and I need answers… Pine,” I concede coldly, reaching into my por ket and taking out the wad

of cash, tossing it onto the table in front of her. She instantly sits forward and grabs it, her heart racing.

Whatever her issue is, she clearly needs the money.

“If I don’t get the answers… I won’t only take the money back, I will take your hand.” I warn, my eye

flashing. She pauses from where she was flipping through the wad, her hands trembling. She’s in no

state to fight, I could handle her with my eye closed.

“I will tell you everything I know.” There’s a glimmer of fear in her eyes, one I’ve not seen in them since

she watched me being punished for disobeying them”

“I don’t have all day,” I add coldly,

She nods quickly as she stands up and takes out a small drive from her pocket. ” Here. It’s everything I

got and maybe a bit more than I promised. I want them gone too. Can you do it?”

I take it from her and motion for her to turn on the laptop that sits on the table.

“I’ll try. What are you hiding?” I ask, motioning for her to sit down just in case

she tries to run.

She’s small, but she’s fucking fast.

Her hands tremble slightly as she opens the laptop. “They came for me and my sister.” Her lips quiver

and I observe her intently. “She’s dying… and because we refused to be chipped… we can’t even go to

anyone for help. Not that I need it.

The defiance is back, but it’s obvious it’s just a front.

They may have been part of the Sable by force or by will, but they were still people I knew and

someliow, I felt responsible for her and needed to help her.

Valerie.

My heart skips a beat, and she looks at me sharply. “Wow… I don’t think I’ve ever heard a change in

your heartbeat. Ever.”

“Where is Ada?” I ask, ignoring her.

“Like I’ll tell you,” she scoffs.

I clench my jaw, watching the laptop turn on, damn slow.

“I might know someone who might be able to help her,” I admit..

“You?” she cocks a brow, turning towards me and sitting back in her seat as I slide the memory stick in.

“Yeah, she’s a doctor,” I reply.

Her eyebrows go higher. “Oh yeah? Who is she to you?”

“My woman,” I answer, looking her square in the eye.

Her eyes grow even wider before she smirks. “You? You have a woman?” She laughs, but seeing me

stare at her, she shuts up pretty fast. “Damn.. congratulations. I’m glad you got your life on track… I

thought you died with Gaultier until you showed up a year ago.”

We fall silent, and I open the first folder, refusing to talk about the past.

“So, what’s she like? Anyone I know?”

“No. But she’s smart and hot.” It’s strange to talk like this, to people who think I

in comparison to those who don’t think I deserve her.

deserve to have a li”

“I’m sure she is,” she smirks. “I’m happy for you, boss. You deserve happiness… because you

surrendered, we were able to live… I really thought we’d die that night.”

She was one of the ones who survived the explosion in the tunnels. There are marks left. Her arms are

both covered with some scars from the burns, burns that never healed thanks to the poison that was in

them.

Fucking Sebastian King.

“We lost a lot either way,” I mutter as I scan the images in the drive.

+15 BONUS

Fuck she did better than I thought, there are photographs of at least thirty people in here, mainly men.

Along with information on their backgrounds. “Those are all part of the Arkan.”

“He’s dead.” I point to the one who tried to attack Valerie in her apartment.

“Thank goddess for that.”

Thank me more like.

“Looks good enough,” I say, removing the memory stick. “The full amount as promised is there, but if

you do need help and want my girl to look at her, I’m sure she’ll be happy to. Give me a call.”

Opening a Word file, I type my number and step back.

She’s observing me intently before she nods, but when I take a few steps, ready to get out of there, she

speaks up.

“I wish you didn’t leave… I wish you were there for us all. Matt had faith in you. He said you’d take your

place as Alpha for us all. Give us a home. I mean we’ll pull our weight but we need our Alpha to step

up.” I pause, before glancing back at her, her eye that I can see is glimmering with unshed tears before

she looks away, crushing her cigarette. “I’ll see you around.” She adds.
