“Who?” she asked, startled because she wasn’t expecting anyone.
“Noah.”
“What in the world does he want?” Angie asked.
“Do you want me to have Thomas send him on his way?”
Angie hesitated for a second and then said, “No. I can’t sic a bear shifter on the alpha of my pack.”
“Are you sure?” Betsy asked, smirking.
“I am. Send him in.”
Noah strode purposefully into the room as though he owned it. His eyes landed on Micah and he asked, in a hard voice, “Am I interrupting something?”
“Yes. Micah and I are making plans for a couple of fundraising events,” Angie replied.
Micah checked his watch and said, “I think we have a good start here and I have an appointment soon. I’ll have my secretary send over all the details about the arena and anything other ideas she can come up with.”
“I need a secretary, especially one like yours,” Angie said, standing up and giving Micah a hug.
“You can’t have Martha.” He laughed, hugging her back.
“Damn. Have a good day.”
“You, too,” Micah said.
He looked Noah in the eye for a second, and then left without speaking to him.
Angie looked at the tall man who seemed to fill the entire large room.
“What are you doing here?” she asked. “The last I heard from you, I was a waste of time and you had gone back to the shifter world.”
“I owe you an apology for that. I spoke when I was angry and I’m sorry.”
“Accepted,” Angie said. “Why are you here?”
“I didn’t like the way things ended between us and I wanted to make it right,” he said.
“There is nothing to make right. We weren’t a couple. We are acquaintances. You are the alpha of the pack my parents belonged to. I am a human and, therefore, I’m not part of the pack. I don’t know any of the other pack members, including my grandfather, and this is my world. I appreciate the sentiment, but there is nothing that needs to be said or done.”
Angie wished the man would just leave. He had turned her world even more upside down than it had been after her parents died. Noah needed to go back to the shifter world and stay there and let her get on with her life.
“I understand why you would feel that way,” Noah said.
“Excellent. Have a nice trip back to the shifter world. I wish you well,” Angie said.
Instead of leaving like Angie hoped he would, Noah sat in the chair that Micah had just vacated.
“When I went back home, I had to deal with a situation,” Noah said.
He described Jasmine and Dolph’s love affair and the decision that he and Trent had made to accept the union.
“If two packs, who have always been rivals, to the point of hating each other, can come to an agreement, maybe other ideals can be changed as well. Just because there has never been a human in our pack doesn’t mean there can’t be,” Noah said. “I came back because I want to get to know you better.
Angie looked at him appraisingly and then shook her head. “I don’t see the point. The two packs might have been rivals, but at least Jasmine and Dolph were both wolf shifters. You need to go back to the shifter world and find a nice wolf shifter woman to settle down with. There isn’t any hope for a relationship between us.”
