-- EXCERPT: Mike noisily cleared his throat, “UH, hey, Ari…” “God, I hope whoever they send isn’t a complete moron. If I’m going to be stuck with a Pack partner, the least they can do is give me someone competent.” Mike noisily cleared his throat again. “What?” I looked up from my desk and scowled at the tall man standing just inside the office, casually leaning against the doorframe. He had tousled brown hair and steely gray eyes. High cheekbones and a strong jaw formed his face and a hint of stubble dusted his jawline. It was not enough to appear unkempt, but just enough to give a roguish impression. Dressed in black jeans, a black tee, and a black leather jacket, he oozed tall, dark, and handsome with deadly intent. I shoved my notebook into the top drawer of my desk. Shit. “That would be this furball right here,” James said, an arrogant grin lifting the corner of his mouth. I let my head fall to the surface of my desk, then for good measure, I none too gently knocked my forehead on its smooth surface, one, two, three times. Dammit, I couldn’t believe I’d just called him a freaking furball! My cheeks warmed, and I heat crept up my neck. On the upside, at least my partner was someone I actually knew and trusted to watch my back. “You all done with the show?” he asked. I lifted my head and glared at him, then dropped my head to the desktop once more before sitting up and rubbing the sting away. “Yeah, I’m done.” This wasn’t going to be as bad as I’d expected. James Shields was a wolf and having him as my partner was going to make this gig a lot more tolerable than I’d expected. “So you’re my partner?” James nodded. “Yeah, I’m your partner.” He sauntered into the room, his eyes scanning the articles pinned to the exposed brick walls. “Think you can play nice for once?” “Hey!” I admonished. “I’m always nice to you.” He snorted and wandered farther into the room, his gaze now locked on mine. He moved with a confident and carefree grace. If he weren’t the closest thing I had to a best friend, I’d be drooling like the rest of society when he walked into a room. “Sure, you are. You ready to get reckless?” His lips curved to one side, and his eyes pulled me out of my seat. I smiled. He knew me all too well. “Absolutely.” I grabbed my messenger bag and followed James out of the office, aware of Mike’s disapproving gaze following my every step. ![]()
