“She contacted me. She has a theory about a security breach. She believes it was enacted by the janitor, Jerry. She noted he had the opportunity and means to infect her computer as well as to notify Adalwulf of her comings and goings, so he could time a meeting in front of her building.”

I go still. My fangs are already descending to rip Jerry to shreds.

“Have you looked into her theory?”

“I’m sitting in front of his place right now. I didn’t find any record of monetary rewards, but he has made phone calls to Aiden Adalwulf’s phone. I checked with Billy to get the time of her reported meeting with Adalwulf and guess what?”

I can’t form words. Only growls come from my throat.

Fortunately, Sully goes on without my reply. “One of the calls came twenty-five minutes before the timestamp on that video of the meeting.”

I hang up the phone to howl, ripping out of my clothes and spontaneously shifting.

Billy barges in my office.

I barely manage to shift back without attacking him. I know Billy is trying to protect me, but he may have jumped to a false conclusion about Madi.

And I stupidly believed him.

I need all the facts. I glower at him as I stuff my legs in a new pair of boxer briefs and suit pants. “Send me the video feed of Madi with Aiden and get Noah up here.”

He studies me, wary. “It’s nine at night–Noah probably isn’t in the building.”

“I don’t fucking care! Find him and get him in my office within the hour.” I blast Billy with enough alpha command to make his body sway.

“Yes, Alpha.”

He leaves the office, and I find an undershirt to pull on. Then I put my fist through the wall. I falsely accused Madi. Well, Billy did, and I believed him.

Just when I almost had it figured out–how to somehow keep her and still maintain the safety of my pack. Now I may lose both.

Forty minutes later, I hear the elevator ding, and I throw open my door to see Noah enter with Billy.

Nickel and Eagle emerge from the conference room.

Noah takes in the mess I’ve made of the office. Madi’s desk is lying on its side after I flung against the far wall, the contents scattered all around.

He appears alarmed, looking around and sniffing. For Madi?

My wolf wants to kill him.

“She’s not here.”

Noah inclines his head. “How can I help?”

“In my office,” I growl.

Noah enters, and apparently Nickel, Billy, and Eagle think that’s invitation enough for them to come in as well.

They take in my torn-to-shreds office. Ribbons of fabric are scattered about the room from the times I shifted while fully clothed. The walls have claw marks and several of the chairs are broken.

I stand behind my desk and point at my computer screen. I’m sure I look deranged.

I am deranged.

“Noah.”

The younger man watches my lips move.
