Chapter 187
For a while I’m so angry and hurt, I stalk the empty corridors of the Council Meeting Hall without any
real direction in mind.

I want tosh out.
I want to shift and run.
need an outlet for all this pain both myself and my wolf are feeling, but I know I’m not going to find that
anywhere here.
The way I love him feels like a curse right now.
I go into the bathroom and ssh some cold water on my
face, then check myself in the mirror.
know I look amazing in this dress, unting the outline of my
breasts and re of my hips.
Much like Aaron, James hadn’t bothered to hide his hunger
when I’d walked down the stairs back at the Rathborn
mansion and he’d first seen me.
Vindictively, I think maybe I should go and f u ck James.
Right now, while I’m wild with fury and unstated lust.
Find him wherever he’s patrolling the
and let him pin me up against a tree while his hips piston into
me.
Or drag James into the backseat of Aaron’s SUV and climb on top so I can ride him until Ie and
leave the scent of sex as a parting gift for my jerk of a mate when he gets back into his
carter.
But I know it will leave me empty, because Aaron is the one I really want, the one I love beyond all
reason and hope.
And by hurting Aaron, I’ll really only end up hurting myself through our mating bond.
And that’s the source of most of my anger.
Eventually, I calm down enough to leave the bathroom, and when I emerge, I realize I’ve wandered into
the wing of the building where the Councilmember offices are.
There’s still basically no one around apart from a few harried looking admin staff who no doubt have
their hands full preparing for tonight’s meeting and don’t pay me any mind.
I think back to Tobin and whatever he had going on with my
brother.
Was that what he wanted to talk about when he’d asked me to
Maybe I don’t need Aaron to figure this out for me after all.
I decide to check Tobin’s office.
What if I can find some kind of information about what he and
Liam were up to?
Or better yet, information about the Al weapons system itself.
I walk down the hall, finding the doors have ques with each
member of the Council inscribed on it.
When I see Tobin’s door, I hurry up and ease it open, d to
find it isn’t locked.
Inside is decorated with antiques, yet has stylishly masculine tones, and I’m a little surprised that Tobin
has such a finely appointed office given his wild nature and he himself
admitted he spends a lot of time as a wolf daily.

Was Aaron also aware they were maybe friends or working together?

reflection of Tobin at all.
I start at the desk, opening draws and flipping through folders, but nothing is jumping out right away.
Probably anything worth knowing is on theputer.
I’m just reaching out to turn it on when the door swings open
