Jordan hated having to go into the firm’s offices for matters like this, but the truths was he also got a sick pleasure out of using the system against the true nasty creatures that stalked upper society. Malcolm had him coming into the offices for a meeting with several people from the board to the head of the HR department. Heck, he even spotted the firm’s head of PR, and several lawyers. This he hated because no one would believe what Malcolm and his father worked decades on to gain this advantage over them. It’d been more difficult over the years because of the laws changing and making this harder to pull off within the financial sector. But they’d done it. What Jordan hated was the entitled anger and assumptions that everyone owed them whatever they wanted. What these people didn’t know was he came carrying several loaded cannons. Malcolm and the pack’s advisory council had been maneuvering stocks and other legal actions to remove the CEO and COO from the boa

“Ellie, we’re staying in. Malcolm just postponed the meeting. Oh, he’ll call later to fill me in on his meeting and discuss the events at the board meeting. I guess that will have to do. So how was your day?” Ellie looked at Jordan with a flat stare. “It was a waste of my time, as you well know. We got nothing done and I now need to rework my entire website and setup a new unplanned store, train an entire staff I hadn’t planned for. All while finding myself trapped in a location under lock and key. Never mind military-like guard.” “It has to be. You’re no longer safe outside of here alone. You need to adjust to how your life has changed. It will be better in the end for everyone, I assure you. It’s a brief interruption before you’ll notice the improvements from the change. I’ll see if I can’t find someone to help you with the website who isn’t so unprofessional.” Jordan didn’t read out loud what Malcolm wrote to him, but there was something going on with Melody. But h

“You have got to be kidding. Your enemies have become your friends and their enemies are now yours. But those enemies aren’t known.” Three hours later, Malcolm had Jordan and Ellie come to them to discuss this, because Melody insisted. Jordan could tell what happened here. She triggered his dominant nature, and he acted on it. Melody had that look of riding the pleasure and this wasn’t necessarily the best time to talk to her. “They’ve never been enemies. They just don’t play well with each other at times.” Jordan was trying to crack a joke about this situation. The poor girls looked thunderstruck with this news Malcolm had just laid on them. The known dynamic by the general shifter population was all a lie, so both alphas could save face with their packs and the general shifter population. “They’re friends, so we weren’t in danger from the Crimson Nights ever?” “Not from them, but from scum hired by a currently unknown person or group who are causing mayhem for us

Ellie and Jordan returned to their condo a short time later. “What was that about? What couldn’t you say to him you couldn’t say in front of Melody and me?” “I wanted to express how worried I was about how Melody was acting. It was out of character for my liking.” “What did he say? Clearly, he said something because you aren’t a blood splatter on the door.” “Gee thanks. Ellie, I’m not sure what your reaction will be to this. But Malcolm forced her to get the first round of vaccines. He’s angry because he found out your birth den has a virus in it that can basically wipe it out, and Melody had it.” “Which virus?” “One Malcolm can’t pronounce. But it could have killed all of you. It still might kill your den before it’s gone.” Ellie didn’t respond for a moment. “We can’t give it to the pack, can we? I don’t feel sick.” She looked at herself as if she could see it. “Probably not, but there can be side effects. The healers can find out. They ca

        Malcolm sat in his office at the firm for the first time in what felt like forever. Only it was temporary. As the primary share owner of this firm, he’d have to move upstairs to a new office and into a corner office.      He knew this day would eventually come and he could see everyone was on pins and needles as they waited for the axe to fall and who would get the boot?     This was happening at the worst of times. However, it had to be done. Dang, he wanted Melody here. She could take some of the stress off.      His mind went straight to the thought of her under the desk sucking him off, or bent over the desk as he pounded deep into her core.     Neither of which was possible in this windowed office. There was no privacy to speak of.       He was horny and missing Melody. Ma
