Page 41 of The Alpha's Chosen Outcast

Someone who isn’t willing to bend now and then isn’t someone who can work with business owners in this city. I send the file to Heather, along with screenshots of the conversation with my friend.

I advise her here and there when I send her files, but I feel it’s essential to show her all the prospects and information. As much as I hope she won’t pick this guy and think she probably won’t, it still has to be her choice in the end.

This is her life, and she needs to be comfortable with this decision. There aren’t many allowances for divorce in wolf culture.

Part of me still wishes I could control this situation more. I wish I could hate her enough to want to carry out her proper sentence. Instead, I can’t stop thinking about my dick in her mouth and the way she swallowed down everything I gave her as she sucked.

I can’t stop thinking about how wet she was for me, the way she tasted on my fingers, and all the ways I had to stop myself from letting it go further.

I’m shaken by these thoughts again as my claws dig into my palms. Another byproduct of thinking about Heather and what we did last time we met is that my wolf parts begin to manifest.

This tends to be awkward when I’m out at the bar with the guys or bored in a meeting with the executives.

The people around me know I’m a wolf, and most of the businesses and other people I interact with are wolves. The humans know about us but it’s another thing to see it happen in front of you.

I can’t give my pack any reason to think I’m not in complete control of my wolf form. Now that we’ve “come out of the woods,” people in this city know a little more about who our family is and the power we have.

Violet is part of that. I know that Alphas are a traditionally male role and female Alphas only ascend through marriage. However, when I take over this pack, she will have a powerful role as well.

Violet is a good strategist and she’s an important part of our public relations team. People know her. Maybe she should have a bigger role in this whole plan, too.

She’s been spending more time at the shop with Heather lately. I know that most of it is due to Heather fitting the dress properly and that they’re getting close to finishing it.

But part of that time is also Violet and Heather becoming friends. It’s obvious because of the way Violet talks about her. They’re definitely close.

I’m glad for that. I know that Heather left friends behind when she came back here. I know she’s cut off from her parents and desperately wants to see them again.

So Violet being her friend is a good filler for that void. At least, I hope it is.

I think it’s still time to let my sister in on the real situation going on with our father. I ask her to meet me in the archives. We won’t be bothered by prying ears there.

“Why did you ask me here to talk with all the creepy old books around us?”

Violet does not pull any punches. She gets right to the point, and she doesn’t care what people think about it. I’ve always loved this about her.

“I need to tell you the truth about Father.”

“What do you mean?” Her eyebrows furrow. “What have you lied about?”

“He’s a lot sicker than I’ve let on. In fact, I don’t think he’s going to be able to walk you down the aisle at your wedding.”

“Not like he’s been there for any other big events, but this is certainly a new excuse.”

“Violet!”

“What? You were the one at every competition I did, every school play, my high school graduation, my college graduation, and when I first met Brody, you were the one I wanted to talk to most about him. Not Father.”

“True, but you know he was doing important work.”

“He was securing more power. Which was only important to him. I don’t give two fucks if we lose everything and end up poor.”

“Yes, you do.”

“No, I really don’t, Trey. I have skills that I’ve proven on my own before I came to work for Hanover Inc. You have skills, too. We could get by, even if we have to move somewhere else.”

“I guess you might be right there.”

She crosses her arms and parks one of those bratty pouts on her face. “It’s settled then.”
