My stomach clenched at the tone of his voice, and my wolf stirred warily. "What do you want in return?"
"Become my mate."
"Your mate?" I repeated incredulously, my voice barely above a whisper. My wolf stirred.
"Yes," Asher said simply. "If I'm going to help you destroy James Grant, I want something permanent in return. Not money. Not shares. You. A true mate bond."
"But I'm already bonded—"
He interrupted. "And you'll break it soon. Think about my offer, Mrs. Grant. You have my number."
The call was disconnected.
I stared at my phone, my mind spinning. Become Asher Storme's mate? The alpha who was James's worst enemy?
I shook my head. No. I didn't need him. I had the evidence. I had the shares. I could handle this myself.
I would make sure James lost everything, the same way he'd taken everything from me.

"Olivia?"
I froze.
James's voice came from the doorway. "What's going on? What are you doing?"
