Tears of frustration streak down my face as I storm away from him. Zoe and Macey stand there waiting, but I am too upset to speak to anyone. I want to run into my office and shut the door. Both of them follow me inside, Macey clutching a piece of paper in her hand.

“You ok?” Macey asks and I nod. However, I feel anything but ok. That was Valarie’s car. I know it was silly, but it was hers, just like everything of hers I kept down in the storage lockers. I couldn’t bring myself to throw anything away.

“We will get it back,” Zoe offers and I shake my head.

“He had it crushed when I refused to let him mark me.”

“Asshole, I’m sorry Everly,” Macey curses and I sniffle. It wasn‘ t their fault. Macey clears her throat and I glance at her resting on the edge of my desk as I use a tissue to wipe away my childish tears. Buying another was no issue, but I loved that car because it was hers.

“The Inspector…”

“Crap, I forgot,” I tell them, getting up, and Macey waves me away, holding a piece of paper out to me.

I take it from her and read it. A sound of annoyance leaves me when I see what is written on it.

“This is bullshit. They are to the standard; he checked last time,” Macey nods.

“He said he will be back in a week to check the guard rails are fixed. And the fence around the pool had been replaced.”

“Anything else?” I ask, and Zoe chews her lip nervously.

“He said whatever you have done to piss off the Alpha you need to fix, that he has been asked to find any fault to shut us down unless you give Valen what he wants.”

“You didn’t tell him?”

“Of course not,” I nod in relief.

“I’ll handle this, then I will come and grab the kids from school with you,” I tell Zoe who nods.

“Also, one of the fridges is down, I have sent for an

electrician,” Macey adds as they are leaving. This day couldn’t get any worse.

However, I spoke too soon. It would turn out that no electrician would come out, not even a handyman. I went through my contact list of rogues with different trades looking for anyone that had any skills with appliances or electricals but found none and Casey’s father was away from the city visiting his mate’s family.

When it is time to pick up the kids, Zoe meets me out the front of the hotel by her car.
