“You had better tell me now what’s going on!” I yell at him, “Or I’m ringing my dad, and then there will be hell to pay!”
The screeching of the tyres against the hard asphalt sends a chill down my spine. With each turn, my stomach churns as we speed down the side road towards the never-ending traffic on the main stretch out of town. Nico speaks and his words freeze me in place like a statue, sending shockwaves through my body that cause my mouth to clamp shut.

“You have got to be fucking kidding me?” I blurt out after several minutes of stunned silence.
“Nope,” Nico replies.
“So let me get this straight. You are part of an elite task force that has been trying to get to my dad for years. You’ve just infiltrated our pack so you can stab him in the back? You’d better fucking run, Nico because when I tell my dad about this, he is going to skin you alive!”
Slamming back into the car seat, my arms folded because I’m not going anywhere until he lets me out, I’m locked up in this van while he abducts me.
“I understand that you’re angry,” he says, that sexy Italian accent hitting me where it hurts.
“But it’s not just about your dad. Really, we want him to get to someone else. The bigger fish.”
“Yeah, and who isthat?”
He snorts. “I can’t tell you that.”
“Why not? You have just admitted to betraying my dad. Tell me who it’s for?”
“I’ve only told this to you so you would trust me. I’m not trying to abduct you. I’m getting you out of a situation that isn’t safe. The man who you met in the gallery that looks like Cain, his name is Atlas Philips. He is a very dangerous man to our pack—”
“Oh,ourpack, is it, fucking traitor!”
“Yes,ourpack. Atlas works for the IPP.”
“Oh.” That gets me to shut my mouth. While I personally have no issues with the Inter-pack Parliament, I know my father does. “Ugh!” I spit out suddenly, disgusted. “This whole thing is…”
I struggle to come up with a suitable word, because the only one that springs to mind is…exciting. It’s the most thrilling thing to have happened to me in my whole life. All of this adventure and subterfuge, backstabbing and betrayal. My heart is racing, my blood pounding through my veins. I’ve never felt so alive, and yet it’s all in the name of trying to take down my father. What kind of daughter does that make me?
Not a very good one.
“I want to know who you are really after,” I state, leaning forward again. “Who, Nico? Who is soooo important that you are going to send my father to prison in order to get?”
He turns his head to face me. Our mouths are millimetres apart. That mouth that was sucking my clit only a couple of days ago belongs to a big, fat liar.
A big, fat liar with a big, fat cock, that this omega suddenly wants to ride more than anything. I find him even sexier now, despite the threat he holds over my family.
“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you,” he murmurs, turning his head back so he can see the road.
“Cain? Is it Cain?” I chatter on. “I bet it is, isn’t it? I bet he is a big crim, and you’re waiting for the chance to take him down. I’ll help with that. You don’t need my dad.”
“It’s not Cain,” he says patiently.
“Then who?” I bellow. “You can’t give me half a story, for fuck’s sake.”
He chuckles. “You are so impatient, aren’t you, princess?”
“Ugh. Don’t call me that. It’s Sophia to you.Ms Quinn, even.”
“Never mind all of that for now. The threat to you today was Atlas Philips. I can only fathom, the reason he made contact with you today was to try infiltrate your life. I need to get you back to the compound where you will be safe. You were in very dangerous waters earlier, being alone with him. Did he hurt you at all?”
I shake my head, curious about him. “Did you know he’s Cain’s brother?”
