The moment I stepped off the elevator onto the executive floor of Storm Crest Industries, I could smell him. Alpha Rhys Knight. His scent was distinctive—dark cedar, leather, and something sharply metallic, like the air before a lightning strike. It made my wolf bristle instantly.
My sister Faye's fiancé. The man who would take her away from our pack.
I straightened my shoulders and adjusted my tie, reminding myself that I was Beta Blaise Valerius, second-in-command of the Storm Crest Pack. I had nothing to fear from this man, regardless of his reputation.
"Beta Valerius," our receptionist called out nervously as I passed her desk. "Alpha Knight is waiting in the conference room. Alpha Orion asked that you escort him to his office."
I nodded stiffly. "Thank you, Mia."
Orion had saddled me with this task deliberately. My brother knew exactly how I felt about Rhys Knight and his engagement to our sister. This was his way of forcing me to play nice with the enemy.
