Silence fell between them. Freya could feel Vicki pacing angrily inside her.
She couldn’t see Niklaus’s face from her side of the line, and she didn’t care to guess what he was feeling. After thirty full seconds of silence, she steadied her voice.
"The contract is signed, Niklaus. You don’t get to walk away from that."
His tone was infuriatingly calm."Without continued partnership, the signing doesn't count as successful. Why don't you ask Alpha Rodney if he's still willing to work with the Whitecrown Pack?"
Freya knew the answer. Of course Rodney would still want the partnership, he wouldn’t throw away billions over some bruised ego. But after what that bastard did to her, letting him walk away with no consequences? Letting him profit from all this?
No. That wasn’t happen
