There was a pause for a moment before then I continued, “Please begin the transfer. Then arrange the documents and a sky journey for me. I am leaving the pack as soon as possible.”
I decided to go to the pack’s business tower.
Aside from being Jareth’s mate, I was also an architect who helped design many of the pack’s territories. I told myself I only wanted to deliver the revised plans for the seaside pack settlement.
But deep inside, another instinct pushed me forward.
I needed to see him in his own domain. I needed to know if the corruption I discovered in my home had also poisoned the empire we built together.
I walked through the tall crystal doors of the tower, holding the rolled architectural scrolls like a shield.
Usually, when I arrived, the wolves in the building greeted me warmly. Smiles and respectful nods followed me through the lobby.
But today, everything changed the moment my heels touched the marble floor.
The receptionist, a young she wolf named Celene who normally praised my dresses, froze while typing. Her eyes widened and quickly moved from me to the private elevators and back again.
