They sold their shares to Grant. His current share isn&#8217;t large, but he&#8217;s been stirring things up in private. That incident with the North District project? Our team traced it back to his men.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s been interfering with the overseas deals too. Looks like he&#8217;s trying to profit while we&#8217;re tied up with bigger issues.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I looked down. None of it surprised me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s the status of his Euron chemical site?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve submitted his violations. The paperwork&#8217;s been filed. Euron should be moving to shut down his assets any day now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Good,&#8221; I said.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron paused. His brows drew together. &#8220;If he realizes he&#8217;s cornered, he may lash out. He may get reckless. You might be a target.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I said nothing, but I clenched my phone tighter. My knuckles began to press against the skin. &#8220;Double the protection around the Luna.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Aaron&#8217;s POV:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, Alpha.&#8221; I bowed low and left the office.<\/p>\n<p>Once I stepped out, I let out a breath.<\/p>\n<p>The tension inside the pack and across the company had reached a breaking point. You could feel it in every hallway.<\/p>\n<p>Grant had returned to Nordvale making a scene. He made a spectacle of himself, buying up Mooncrown Corporation shares in public.<\/p>\n<p>In public, he played the part. Behind closed doors, he was laying traps. The company felt like a war zone.<\/p>\n<p>The Alpha handled every strike with control. He was ruthless and sharp.<\/p>\n<p>Violet&#8217;s POV:<\/p>\n<p>They wore dark, tailored suits that barely hid the bulk of their builds. I caught their scent right away\u2014Gammas, at least.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ms. Wiley, our boss would like to have a word.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I stepped in front of Deanna and narrowed my eyes. I went on high alert.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Who&#8217;s your boss? And why does he want to see her?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The taller one ignored me entirely. His eyes stayed fixed on Deanna.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our employer is Mr. Grant, the Alpha&#8217;s uncle. He&#8217;s waiting in the suite on 77. The Alpha is there as well. You can rest assured.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I opened my mouth, ready to argue. But the other man stepped aside and motioned toward the elevators. His manner was polite, but it left no room for negotiation.<\/p>\n<p>And just like that, Deanna and I were taken up to the 77th floor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2521","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
