"Ms. Palmer, I'd like to see you in my office." The elder's voice was gentle, but even a human likeunderstood the unspoken command underlying every word the elder ever spoke. Even Alphas obeyed the elders-typically.
After giving the order, he hung up the phone, leaving no room forto refuse or ask any questions.

Ever since I had started working for the Midwest Packs Corporation, the Elder Thorin had always been friendly and kind to me, so I forced myself to his office. Even though I'd quit this job, I still wanted to be respectful of him and treat him how he'd always treated me.
Many wolf-shifters weren't kind to humans, and certainly not in a situation like this, where I was directly working with all of the packs.
I made my way to the private elevator, and the up to Elder Thorin's office, concentrating on putting one foot in front of the other and trying to keep my mind off who was likely in his office.
Just as I had expected, Griffon sat in Elder Thorin's office talking to him.
And they were discussing the bidding of the Weston City project.
After what happened with the Starke pack, the Knight pack unexpectedly postponed the bidding for a few days.
As a result, the bidding had not begun yet, which meant that the Starke pack had never doubted the contract's authenticity.

I was worried that when Roman woke up and discovered something wrong with the fake contract, he would ctoto get even. Had everything gone to plan, I would have never had to deal with the fallout from the fake contract.
Giving myself a mental shake, I tried to shrug off all these thoughts about what might happen. This was all in the future. When Roman woke up, he would face many problems, the ake contract only being a small piece of what the Starke pack was currently dealing with.
He was going to have to figure out have to get his father, Alpha Starke, out of jail. And then there were all of the pack's legal issues surrounding bribery and tax evasion...not to mention Roman's own issues regarding his treatment of women.
And that was all if Roman himself wasn't involved in the pack's legah issues right alongside his father. For all knew, they'd end up in silver together sharing a cell.
By the the was done with the endless list of things he had to take care of I'd probably be dead f'd anyways. Even if he wanted to settle the score, he wouldn't be able to.
I composed my thoughts and was about to knock on the door before when heard walking into the rdom when I heard a few people talking about the Sterling pack in Wolverly Capital.
