Chapter 200

The next morning I’m a bundle of energy, even though I sat up. most of the night mulling things over.

I came to the conclusion that I don’t want to reject Aaron and

break the mating bond.

But that means I need answers.

And then I need to try fixing things between us.

I down several cups of coffee and James makes a comment

about how buzzed I am.

After last night, he and I have come to a new understanding

with each other.

We can both admit that we’ve become closer, but nothing else

will ever come of that.

As for now, however, I have a plot to put in place that will hopefully kill two birds with one stone.

Ferret out what Tobin does or doesn’t know about my brother and the missing Al weapon, and see how

Aaron reacts to my plan to meet with Tobin.

Because there was one thing I kept circling back around to during the dark hours of last night.

Aaron is definitely hiding something from me.

The Al weapons Roberts Corp was meant to hand over to the military is missing.

Aaron was the only one running Roberts Corp for months

while I was in a coma.

In all that time, did he really not figure out what was going.

on?

Now, I realize it was foolish for me to take his word at face

value that he didn’t know about the tech until I told him.

I don’t know why-whether it’s simply the money or the tech itself he’s interested in-but now I think

Aaron is the one who has the missing weapons system, with the possibility of Tobin being in

possession of it coming in at a distant second.

One way or another, I’m going to prove it.

I think about tricking James to ditch him-once, that was the typical way I would have dealt with him, like

that fateful day I went to the clinic and found out about the cancer-but then I

realize I don’t want to do that, and he deserves better.

Instead, I pour him a coffee and then lay out every detail of

my plan.

He doesn’t like it, and reiterates that I can’t trust Tobin, but since Aaron will be there if all goes as it

should, then he can’t exactly say I’m putting myself in undue amounts of danger.

“Just be careful, please,” he says in a serious voice as he walks

me out to the waiting SUVs.

We’ve decided James and a couple of guys are going to follow

at a distance in another vehicle, and James gets someone to

put a tracking device in the SUV just in case.

To anyone watching, it’s going to look like I’ve foolishly

ventured out on my own without any protection.

Though I don’t like being bait, I also came to realize that hiding won’t help me find who was behind the

attack against

me on Roberts pack lands, and why they want me dead.

With everything in place, all that’s left to do is climb into the SUV and drive myself away from the safety

of Rathborn territory.

A little while later, I find a random place to pull over and get out my phone.

With butterflies in my stomach, I call Aaron, like I’m a lovesick teenager all over again, hoping against

hope that he’ll answer and give me some of that attention I always craved.

Aaron doesn’t answer, so I type a text message instead.

I’m positive Tobin knows where the project is after what he said last night. I’m going to meet up with

him. Don’t try to find me, you’ll only make things worse like usual.

I’m grinning as I type the last words, knowing it’ll infuriate Aaron to no end and he’ll do exactly the

opposite of what I’ve

told him.

He’ll move heaven and earth to find me, no matter if I want

him to or not.

Tonight, however, I’m praying that he does find me.

Next, I call Tobin.

His voice is a purr when he answers the call, and it makes me

want to gag.

“You caught my attention last night, before Aaron interrupted and ruined our fun,” I tell him coyly, all the

while knowing that I’m playing a dangerous game. “I want to see you again.”
