“Sir, Rylee wishes to see you immediately”
Lev glanced at his watch “It’s 3 am”
“We are in a crisis situation, sir”
“Very well” Lev followed Jesper into the ranch house and then into the elevator to their underground headquarters Was it because of New Orleans? He cleaned the mess No olf evidence He shouldn’t have meddled into human affairs without her per There would have been heavy casualties Including Rachel He’d do it over again if itlives
This would be a good time to tell her he didn’t wish to be part of Teas-for-hire Yet, guilt needled him Rylee was as close to family as he’d ever known Years before his father took a mate, he and Rylee had a passionate affair She had worked for her father at the LIA, while Arkady Volkov had worked for both the LIA Eastern Block division and the KGB After Rylee refused to return to his pack’s hoh broken hearted, took another mate Of course, he’d loved Lev’s mother, but if Rylee accepted hi here After the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, he had been the only pup to survive the radioactive fallout Arkady buried his mate, his other children, and the rest of his pack After his father’s murder, Rylee found Lev, and, on occasion, he’d provided intel for her It had never been his intention to join her pack or any pack He preferred being a lone wolf

She sniffed three tis and he did the same Rylee turned to Jesper “Have the report ready for to”
“Yes, ma’am” He left
She turned to Lev “Have a seat”
