Silverpine Pack... (ETHAN'S POV)
The morning sun streamed through the tall glass windows over the polished wooden desk.
From the top floor of Silverpine Tower, I could see the vast stretch of my Pack's land forest beyond the city.
I leaned back in my chair, puffing lightly on a cigar, watching the smoke swirl lazily toward the ceiling. The scent mingled with cedarwood and old whiskey... a mix that always helped me think.
"Here are the documents you asked for, Alpha," my secretary, Monica, said as she entered, holding a stack of files close to her chest.
Her steps were quiet but confident. She placed the papers on my desk and gave a polite bow of her head.
"Thank you, Moni," I said, flashing a faint smile. "You always know how to keep things in order."
Her cheeks flushed, and she tucked a strand of her chestnut hair behind her ear. "Is there anything else you need, Alpha?"
My gaze stayed a moment too long before I replied, "Actually, maybe dinner tonight?"
