The silence in the room was deafening. For a small second, I wondered if Hart was going to remain silent like that without saying anything.
After staring at Quentin for what felt like eternity, he burst into a fit of laughter. Quentin fixed him an unamused stare while he continued to laugh, seemingly oblivious to the pointed look that Quentin was giving him.
“You’re been watched by the Ghost Pack?” Hart asked in between laughs.
“I don’t see how that’s funny.” Quentin said blankly.
Hart didn’t bother with a reply, opting to continue laughing, occasionally tapping on his knees as he tried to control the laughter.
“Oh it’s hilarious,” Hart laughed. “You ever tried stand–up comedy before?”
I turned to Quentin, confused at what he’d just said. He referred to me as his mate. This was something that didn’t make sense no matter how much I rolled it in my head.
From the onset, he’d been oddly clingy, holding my hand in the car and refusing to let go of me even as we made our way into the main office building.
And then this. It had been the same thing with Askhan. What was going on with everyone lately? First, Askhan had hinted that I was the best candidate for the position of royal consort, and now
his mate had.
Quentin had emphasized on the p
I still hadn’t spoken to Askhan since last night. I made a mental note of confronting him about it
some time.
This was laughable at best. I resisted the urge to snort. After so many years, these two men were still yet to find their mates.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d somehow been cursed by the Moon God to forever remain single.
Quentin had said those words to me with a seriousness that had left me surprised. And judging by the look that had been in his eyes, he had meant every single word of it. I turned my gaze to Hart who was still laughing.
Hart wasn’t done yet, still trying to reel his laughter back under control. When his gaze would land on Quentin, he’d end up bursting into laughter again.

“Get it out of your system.” Quentin said with a bored expression on his face.
Hart let out another laugh before wiping a stray tear off the corner of his eyes. He patted Quentin on the back affectionately, ignoring the scathing look on the billionaire’s face.
Hart moved to the table and picked up his computer. He took a seat at the conference table and connected it to the network cable of Quentin’s conference room.
He tapped against his keyboard furiously for a couple of seconds before finally leaning back into his
seat.
“So when are you going to start?” Quentin broke the silence.
“I’m done already.” Hart answered confidently. “In about five minutes, you’ll get every single information you want on Ghost Pack. From the identity of their Alpha to every single member of that damn pack.”
My heart hammered in my chest as the thought of my pack members being exposed hit My gaze flicked to the door just in time to see Jane standing there.
my head.
It looked like she had been about to enter the room before she stopped Hart’s words. There was a barely concealed look of panic in her eyes as she watched me.
“What’s going on, boss?” she asked through the mind link.
“Stay calm,” I replied through the mind link. “We’ll find some way out of this.”
As Alpha of the pack, I’d been blessed by Luna with the ability to communicate with members of my own pack. And since Jane and I were in the same pack, it made it even easier. We could communicate with each other easily.
Using the mind link, I relayed everything that happened to her, including how Hart had set in a break–in sequence that would completely override our mainframe in a matter of minutes and release all the classified information on all the members of our pack.
She nodded her head, a look of understanding washing over her face. Without another word, she slowly took out her computer and disappeared behind the door.
I turned back to Quentin and Hart who were still going back and forth with each other. Hart had a look of pure confidence on his face as he folded his arms behind his head.
“You still haven’t said your price yet.” Quentin took the seat beside him.
“I don’t need any payment,” Hart answered coolly. “But when I’ve located the Ghost Pack, I’m going

to make their beta acknowledge that I alone remain undefeated when it came to technology across
the whole kingdom.”
The arrogance in his voice was blatant as he made that declaration. I resisted the urge to look towards the door, knowing fully well that Jane would be seething wherever she stood.
I began to speak. “Why don’t you just make the Alpha of the Pack acknowledge you? Wouldn’t that give you way more respect?”
