During the evening, Eve and Grant convince the Chef to allow her to assist him in the kitchen. It turns out that Grant has a meeting that requires his attention. Eve is content with watching the Chef skillfully prepare dinner. She may not want to admit it, but she is more exhausted from lunch than she anticipated. Grant kisses her and tells her that he won’t be gone long. She holds his hand tightly before hesitantly letting go.
Grant shimmers into his dimly lit office downtown. Alpha Roman Bloodfang is already waiting for him. The alpha sits on the far side of the room, tapping his fingers impatiently on the arm of the modern wooden chair. He was summoned here by Grant to discuss the situation that took place the night before. The alpha sucks in his breath as Grant steps from the shadows.
