Page 30 of Billionaire Wolf Needs a Fixer

I nodded, relief and determination coursing through me."I promise."

Later, in Levi's bedroom, the tension between us was thick enough to cut with a knife.He stood by the window, his back to me, the moonlight casting long shadows across his tense frame.I approached him slowly, my heart pounding in my chest.

"Levi," I said softly, placing a hand on his shoulder.

He turned, his eyes dark and filled with a storm of emotions."If anything happens to you—" he started again, his voice breaking.

I stepped closer, cutting him off with a kiss.It was fierce and desperate, pouring all the fear, determination, and unspoken words between us into that single moment.His arms wrapped around me, pulling me tight against him as if he could shield me from the danger with his body alone.

When we finally pulled away, I rested my forehead against his, my breath coming in shaky gasps."I'll be careful," I whispered."But this is our chance, Levi.We can't let it slip away."

He kissed me again, softer this time, but no less intense."Stay safe," he murmured against my lips."That's an order."

I smirked, pulling back slightly."You're not the boss of me."

The corner of his mouth twitched, a ghost of a smile breaking through."Unfortunately for you, I am."

I laughed, the sound light and freeing, even as my stomach churned with nerves."Let's end this."

The warehouse was dimly lit, and the inside smelled of dust and decay.I stood in the center of the large open space, my heart pounding in my chest.The weight of the bag with the hidden camera pressed against my side and I clutched it tightly like a shield.Levi and Garrett were hidden in the shadows, their presence a silent reassurance, but I couldn't afford to glance their way.I had to play my part.

The sound of footsteps echoed through the cavernous room, and I turned to see Dante stride in, flanked by his men.His smile was cold and calculating as he surveyed the scene.

"Well, well," he said, his voice dripping with mockery."I didn't expect you to walk into the lion's den so willingly."

I crossed my arms, forcing a smirk onto my face."You're not a lion, Dante.You're a cockroach, and I'm here to squash you."

His smile faltered for a brief moment before he chuckled, the sound hollow."Brave words for someone who's outnumbered."

"Brave or not, you're not leaving here with your pride intact," I shot back, my voice steady."You've made too many mistakes, and I'm here to make sure you pay for them."

Dante's eyes narrowed, his amusement fading as he stepped closer."You think you can take me down?You're a nobody, Miss Fortune.A pawn in a game you don't understand."

"Maybe," I said, shrugging."But I'm the pawn who's holding all the evidence.I have all of it, Selene's death, the trafficking ring, the drugs.And when I release it, the world will know exactly what kind of monster you are."

His jaw tightened, a flicker of panic crossing his face before he masked it with a sneer."Nobody will believe you.I could kill a hundred more Selenes and Troys and sell you to a brothel in Romania.It still wouldn't matter.I covered my tracks and I have every judge and cop in town in my pocket.Besides, you're bluffing."

I stepped closer, my gaze locked onto his."Am I?Then why are you sweating?"

Dante's men shifted uneasily, but he held up a hand, keeping them at bay."You're playing a dangerous game, little girl.One you won't win."

"The only game here is yours," I said, my voice sharp."And it's over.You're done, Dante.The police are on their way, and the whole world is watching."

His mask of confidence cracked, his anger boiling over."You think you can ruin me?I'll destroy you before you even have a chance to—"

His words were cut off by a low, guttural growl that echoed through the warehouse.Dante's men froze, their heads snapping toward the sound.Levi stepped out of the shadows, his eyes glowing with a feral light as his form shifted.The air around him seemed to crackle with raw power, and I could feel the primal energy radiating from him as his wolf emerged.

Dante stumbled back, his face pale as he registered the threat."What the hell—" he started, but Levi didn't give him a chance to finish.With a snarl, he lunged forward, his massive form moving with terrifying speed.Dante's men scrambled to react, but they were no match for Levi's wolf.

The warehouse erupted into chaos.Levi tore through Dante's men with brutal efficiency, his claws and fangs flashing in the dim light.Garrett joined the fray, his own wolf form moving in tandem with Levi's, their combined strength overwhelming the opposition.

I stayed where I was, my eyes locked on Dante as the fight raged around us.He backed away, his bravado crumbling as he realized the gravity of his mistake."You think this changes anything?"he spat, his voice shaking with fear and anger."You think you've won?This isn't over."

"It's over for you," I said, my voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through me."The world knows what you are now, Dante.There's nowhere left for you to hide."

His eyes flicked to the bag at my side, and I saw the moment he made the connection."You're broadcasting this?"he hissed, panic lacing his words.

I smirked, holding up my phone to show the live feed Zane had set up."Every second of it," I said."You've just confessed to murder, human trafficking, and God knows what else.The police are already on their way."
