“Baby, you know I want to be with you as much as you want to be with me,” Stellan says. He pulled me into an empty room in the packhouse when I confronted him once again about getting out of the agreement with Alpha Cyra.

Ever since that woman, Piper, called me, I can’t get the thought out of my head that what she said might be true. But every time I say something to Stellan, he has a good reason why he can’t get out of the agreement.

“What if she finds her fated mate at the Academy, Stell? Maybe she will and that will be that,” I say, remembering that Piper told me Cyra did

find her mate and he’s the one who punched Stellan,

“She didn’t, baby. I told you, when I was there, she refused to release me from the alliance bond. If she had met her mate, she’d have told me. She’d have been as eager to get out of this alliance bond as I am,” he says, running his fingers over my cheek and tucking my hair behind my

ear.

Now I don’t know what to believe.

“You know I only want you, right?” he says, leaning in to kiss me.

It took that call from Piper for me to pay attention, but I’ve finally realized that this is how he gets me to stop asking questions. He moves our conversations into sex and by the time we’re done, I don’t want to drag up the argument again.

He has just pressed his lips to mine when he jerks back.

“Stellan?”

“Christer just sent me a mind link. I have to go see him. We’ll finish this later, okay? Promise,” he says, stepping away from me.

He doesn’t wait for me to respond but turns and makes his way out of the room quickly. I only wait a moment before I’m carefully following behind him. Maybe now I can get some answers.

I make my way to Alpha Christer’s office. There’s no one else here at this time of night, so I find a dark corner and tuck myself into the shadows. The door to Christer’s office is slightly ajar, and since Alpha is yelling and banging around, it’s not hard to hear him.

“Some Alpha named Quirin bought the loan and is calling the note,” Alpha Christer growls.

“Who the fuck is Alpha Quirin?” Stellan asks.

“Fuck if I know. Some mega–powerful, mega–wealthy Alpha according to the pack logs.”
