Hannah
The meeting location that Alpha David picked out was, indeed, in neutral territory.
And it was far less unsavory than the place where | had met Jen.
My eyes immediately locked onto David, who was sitting at a corner table of the upscale lounge with his own
security detail surrounding him. The sight of him made my blood boil, memories of our encounter in the parking
garage and my subsequent humiliation in his prison flooding back.
My hands clenched into fists at my sides, and | had to take a deep breath to steady myself. The taste of bile rose
in my throat as | remembered the cold cell, the leering guards, the feeling of utter helplessness.
“You okay?” Viona whispered, her hand brushing mine as we walked into the lounge.

| nodded tightly, but inside | was berating myself all over again. Seeing him in the flesh like this just reawakened
those memories, and | still felt like a fool for letting his Beta and guards takeinto custody that day.
How could I have been so careless? So naive?
No wonder no one tookseriously as an Alpha.
As if reading my thoughts, Viona squeezed my arm. “Hey. It wasn’t your fault, Hannah,” she murmured, her voice
low enough that only I could hear. “You were only trying to protect Melody. And besides, we should have stopped
it.” She gestured to herself and my security officers, who were currently flanking me. “That's on us.”
| swallowed hard, trying to push down the lump in my throat. “Well, | still shouldn’t have gone with them so
easily,” | muttered. “But | won't make the smistake twice. Whatever David wants, we're handling it right
here in this lounge or he can shove it.”
We approached the table, and David stood, a smirk playing at his lips. His eyes raked overwith no shame,
and | felt my skin crawl. “Alpha Hannah, so good of you to join us. | was beginning to think you might not show.”
“What do you want, David?” | asked coldly, not bothering to sit down. | could feel the eyes of everyone in the
lounge on us, but | kept my gaze fixed on him.
David gestured to the chair across the polished table. “Please, have a seat. Can | offer you a drink? The whiskey
here is excellent.”
“I don’t intend to pay you back with sexual favors,” | sneered, “so | won't allow you to buy one. Let's just cut the
pleasantries and get to the point, shall we?”
David's smirk faltered for a moment, replaced by a flash of annoyance. But he quickly schooled his features back
into a mask of indifference. “Always so tic. This is a business meeting, nothing more. But if you insist on
standing, by all means.”
“Then let's get to business,” | said, my voice sharp. “What is this about? Why did you callhere?”
David leaned back in his chair, his fingers steepled in front of him. He seemed to be savoring the moment
drawing out the tension. Finally, he held out his hand toward his Beta, who placed a tablet onto

his palm.
“We both have something the other wants,” David said as he tapped on the tablet screen. “I have evidence that
will help you put your darling cousin behind bars, and you have land that | want to absorb into Darkmoon.”
| raised an eyebrow at that. “Evidence? What kind of evidence?” My heart was pounding, but | kept my face
impassive. | couldn't let him see how desperate | was for anything that could helpput Alvin in prison. 1
Without a word, David tapped one last ton the tablet, and a recording began to play. | recognized Alvin's
voice immediately, and what | heard madeshudder.
“The bitch will never sire a little brat of her own,” Alvin's voice cthrough, loud and clear. “She’s such a
dumb whore who only cares about being skinny, she’ll probably even take enough pills to kill herself before too
long..."
Before the recording could play to the end, David stopped it and looked up atwith a self-satisfied smirk on
his face.
“Your cousin-dearest loved frequenting the brothels in my pack, as you well know,” David clarified as he handed
the tablet back to his Beta. “But what he didn’t know was that this particular brothel is sanctioned by Darkmoon,
and thus has security cameras in every room. Which means that his grandiose bragging was immediately
reported.”
