The Pup He Never Wanted Chapter 07 Three days later, one million dollars arrived. It wasn’t a bank transfer—that would have left a trail. Caden sent a courier with a waterproof briefcase containing ten cashier’s checks, each for one hundred thousand dollars, each issued by a different shell corporation. The courier was a young Beta

The Pup He Never Wanted Chapter 06 The rain in Seattle was more constant than I’d imagined. The neutral wolf pack community in the Pacific Northwest was built on the edge of the Olympic National Forest—a gray area that belonged to no Alpha. It was home to rogues, exiles, and people like me who had
