Slade walked out of his quarters, then passed Cricket’s apartht a whiff of sweet honey and roses He cocked his ear Her fingernails tapped on her laptop He stood by the door and closed his eyes Inhaling, listening, desiring I his cock
The typing stopped
Fuck
Slade hastily left As he turned the corner, her door slammed open He pushed the elevator button and fortunately, it opened i sloppy He better shift after theto release his sexual tension
As the elevator doors opened, he nearly burinned at Slade “We still have a few minutes to spare”
And risk Rylee's wrath? She had an obsession with promptness Slade narrowed his eyes at the alpha on his shit list He disliked Trevor since he’d threatened to discipline Cricket after she’d slaughtered the bear “In our line of work, we have no minutes to spare”
Trevor gave him a pointed stare and then knocked on the team’s conference rooany table
Rylee sat at the head of the table, a laptop in front of her as two other betas stood behind her Slade took a seat on Rylee's right, and Trevor sat several seats away At least royal status afforded hies
A few betas entered and sat next to Trevor Rylee's assistant beta handed them each a manila folder
Rylee closed her laptop halfway “Your assignment and documents are inside your folder”
Trevor furrowed his brow “I thought Dominic would be here?”
“I already faxed him the details His team is on their way to Colorado”
Slade’s curiosity piqued Did Enforcer Dominic take his human mate and Cricket’s best friend with him? A wolf rarely strayed too far from his beloved mate
“Read over your assignments If you have any questions or concerns, speak up now”
Slade opened his manila folder, which included a driver’s license, and a credit card His false ID read, Slade R Smith His bio detailed his current job: bar bouncer On vacation, travelling with his girlfriend to unearth info on her brother Randi Slade’s real pack surname was Frederickson, a name that would disappear into oblivion if he never took a mate Even more reason to play it cool around teas about her had to do with sexual frustration, and nothing re mates
