Chapter 44


    Chapter 44


    My phone vibrated on my nightstand, waking me up.


    I peeled open my tired eyes, struggled to pick up the phone, and answered.


    “Baby.” Roman’s voice came from the other end of the line. “I heard you had a high fever yesterday.


    How are you now?”


    Good lord, this guy was strange. Did his wolf take over sometimes and make him forget things? We’d


    already been over the fact that I’d had a high fever and gone to the hospital.

    Plus, why did he care? He’d only wanted to sleep with me, so why the questions about my health?


    Could it be…he knew I was dying?


    I managed to shu t that thought away and replied calmly, “I’m fine.”


    “Okay, good, good. That’s great,” Roman said mechanically. Then his tone changed, grew more eager.


    “So, did you finish that thing?”


    And there it was. His real reason for calling me.


    I sat straight up in bed, supported my forehead with one hand. “I went to Alpha Knight, and he said he


    would think about it.”

    The excuse I’d used to get away from Roman wasn’t one I could do…and thest thing I was going to


    do was actually talk to Griffon about Roman. I had no videos or pictures, and no way would Griffon ever


    listen to me and give the Starke Pack the Westen City project.


    All I had to do was dy with Roman until after Harper’s wedding was over.


    Then, I would give my life in exchange for peace for the rest of Harper’s life.


    Roman seemed impatient. “The bidding conference starts on the tenth of next month. When is he going


    to consider it?”


    Sh it. Harper’s wedding was on the ninth of next month.


    I had wanted to wait until Harper gol mated before going to d ie with Roman.
