#Chapter 53: Debrief
My head was spinning as I stared at Matt. How much money was that? How much money did he have? How did he manage to get a hold of all of Warhammer’s industry like that? Why didn’t he just pull all the companies out of Warhammer if he had such a grudge against Ben?
What did it mean that Ben was the alpha of a pack that his family didn’t found? Who founded Warhammer then?
“How does that work?” I asked. He seemed surprised.
“How much do you know about the Interpack agreements?”
I winced. I knew a bit, at least the important ones for Fluorite, but my family owned the land and the businesses. We just ran them for the benefit of the pack. The Fluorite family had always been that way.
“Enough.”
Matt’s lips twitched, “Alphas have reason to give businesses a certain amount of slack with regards to their taxes because businesses can move local when they wish, but there is no reason to m

Matt’s POVI eyed the list in my hand, turning over the conversation I’d had with Grace and Renda. No one would readily know the scientific names of flowers unless they dealt with them often, and the codes weren’t so obvious that anyone could guess them either.When I had called Felix, he explained the code of each line. He knew a lot more about drug dealing above and under the table than I did. The codes assigned to the blend were based on the medical terms for the blends.She hadn’t needed me to explain the first line and she seemed to know how to read the rest of the list.Did that mean that Renda had been studying to be a doctor or a pharmacist? Did she have some ties to the drug underground or had she picked it up while at Club Heaven or Larry’s?I sighed, shaking my head and folding the list up. I needed more information to be able to answer those questions, and I doubted that Glenda was ready to

I laughed, “I’m not, but this isn’t a waste. I’ve purchased a club in Midnight and I am looking to stock it with the best. Blooming Vibes is my first choice.”He glanced at Renda before his gaze dropped to the table, “A club, you said?”“Yes.”“I don’t suppose you are also here on behalf of your brother?” Walter asked. His eyes hardened, “Or your father?”My lips twitched, “What Ben and his son get up to have nothing to do with me.”He met my gaze, seeming to search for some answer, but the tension in him didn’t ease.“You must know that I am… planning to auction the rest of the stores.” His lips twitched, “To pay the employees and close business finally.”Auction for Blooming Vibes just meant that he was looking to get out faster than he could be assured of if he just kept supplying his goods, or there

Grace’s POVWalter and Matt spoke a little longer before Walter drew up a contract between them and signed over Blooming Vibes. Curiosity was killing me, but I held my peace. How was it possible to have more than one pack profile?How did the Interpack Authorities allow such a thing? Why did Mat have it? How did he get it?And how did Renda and Walter know each other?“I’ll show you around if you’d like,” Walter said, smiling.Matt nodded, “Why don’t you two take a tour? I have a call to make”I nodded and walked with Renda out of the room. He walked us around and introduced us to several women who looked at Renda as if they had seen a ghost. They were all from Fluorite I bet, or they knew her from when she was younger.How was that possible? Renda shook hands with them all, as did I. They smiled at me nervously as we headed through the rest of the building. There were b
Auctioned Mates Revenge #Chapter 57: Proof of Loyalty
Glenda’s POVI took just one box from the cabinet because I couldn’t help myself. Matt didn’t seem to care or notice anything suspicious about it, so I didn’t worry about it. Within a few hours were back on the plane. Matt’s phone rang as we were waiting for take-off. He went to another section of the plane to answer it.With a glance towards the door, Grace pulled something out of her purse, hiding it in the sleeve of her jacket before settling into the seat beside me.She met my gaze and slipped it to me as if she thought we were begin watched.Now that I thought about it, were we being watched? By who? Matt? I had never considered the potential of us being watched, and I should have if we were going to keep secrets from Matt. It was a bit embarrassing how much more experienced, aware, and prepared Grace seemed to be.She leaned against my shoulder as if she was sleepy.I glanced down, leaning

Matt’s POVGrace seemed nervous. I didn’t know what it meant for her to return to Frost Pelt, or what remained of Frost Pelt, but I knew the lack of expression on her face was a trained response. I watched her, searching for some sign of what she was thinking.She smiled, but it didn’t reach her eyes, “You must have made quite the deal. Who are you going to be meeting with?”I glanced at Renda who was looking out the window. It was purposeful. There was a secret between them involving Frost Pelt. Maybe Renda had already found out Grace’s story. Maybe I was reading too much into it, but I considered Grace’s question.There was something in the way she phrased it that told me she didn’t plan to be there.“We’re meeting with the master distiller.”She nodded, sitting back in her seat, “It’ll be cold. I don’t know if either of you is prepared for
Auctioned Mates Revenge #Chapter 59: Frost Pelt
Gordon’s POVI stumbled down the stairs of my house, trying to shake off the weight that had forced me to take a mid-morning nap. I had been lucky that I didn’t pass out in the distillery. That was the last thing the remnants of Frost Pelt needed to see.I wasn’t sure how much longer I could put it off though. I was losing time more often these days. The only solace I had was my office at the distillery and the familiar pace of managing production. I tried every day not to think about how quiet the house was without my brothers and nephews or how empty my life had become since Grace, my mate and wife, had been killed and my little girl was taken.I was grateful that I was not certain she was dead too. I was grateful that the few of us who had survived the attack could still band together and that not everything had been lost, but I had no faith that Teagan was searching for her any longer.I don’t know that I ever
Auctioned Mates Revenge #Chapter 60: Emoni
Glenda’s POVAfter Grace had jumped out of the Jeep, I knew that she had made her decision about what to believe. I couldn’t blame her. If my father was alive, I don’t know that I could have kept pretending even if he seemed perfectly healthy.It had all happened so fast; all I could do was follow Grace and Gordon in through the side door. Matt followed just behind me. She moved quickly, steering her father down the narrow hallway and across the narrow metal bridge above the floor filled with large metal silos. When she got him into a small office and onto a cot, he spoke softly to her, reaching into the hood of her jacket.I didn’t understand what they were saying. They spoke so softly, I couldn’t understand the words, but I was almost certain they weren’t speaking English.I looked at Matt whose eyes were narrowed observing Grace, bent over her father. He struggled to sit up even as she tried to push
