Chapter 164


    Eventually I drag myself out of bed and take a shower, put on fresh clothes, and then venture out to the


    main room.


    James is sitting at the table with aptop open. Being Aaron’s second in charge keeps him busy. It also


    looks like he’s texting someone. I want to ask if it’s Aaron, my wolf is pushing the words to the tip of my


    tongue, but I stubbornly swallow them down.


    “I’m going to the corporate floors,” I tell James. “I’ll be fine on my own.”


    He se nds me an absent nod, too immersed in whatever he’s working on to worry much about what I’m


    doing.


    Lucky, because I’m not nning on going to the corporate floors at all. I’m going to the restricted floor


    where I spent weeks working alongside Liam, developing multi-billion dor Al technology for the


    military, and hoping I get some answers about where things are at, and how its been running since


    Liam is dead and I was in aa for six months.


    Dennis had proven to be very capable, and I’m sure he has managed just fine without either myself or

    Plus Aaron-even managing the packs and business remotely as he had been-would have noticed and


    been suspicious of a sudden multi-billion dor influx to our bank ounts.


    I tap my foot impatiently as the elevator takes me up to the restricted floor-again, only because I


    scanned my hand print. Aaron sure has stepped up security on this ce since Liam’s betrayal.


    The elevator finally arrives on the restricted floor, and I’m required to scan my hand a final time before


    the door will even open.


    When they slide apart and I step out onto the floor, I immediately stop, gasping at the sight I’m met


    with.


    This was not what I was expecting.


    I never imagined this is what I would be fac ed with….
