Chapter 13

• My father’s pep talks never leave my mind. I still hear his voice reminding me of loyalty, control, and power. I want the best for my pack, but Gareth only lets me go so far. I’ve asked him more than once to expand our territory and let me handle more pack members, but he always says I’m not ready.
• So, I decided to do things my own way. I set up an offshoot rogue operation at the university. It’s been my secret rebellion—and it’s working. I move through the streets of New York, blending into the crowd. Everyone here is in a rush, eyes down, minds elsewhere. That’s the beauty of this city. You can disappear in plain sight.
