Chapter 27

• Simone had pulled strings to get me Petra Vance on short notice. In legal circles, they called her "The Severer" because of what she did to unfaithful Alphas in dissolution courts. She had cold eyes, a colder handshake, and a briefcase full of nightmares for cheating mates.
• I liked her immediately.
• I had taken extra care with my appearance this morning. I wore a blood-red blouse beneath a black fitted coat with heels that made me three inches taller and twice as intimidating, and makeup that sharpened my features.
