KIERAN'S POV
"The financials are solid, and their growth trajectory is impressive," Gavin, my Beta, reported, sliding a tablet across my desk. The screen displayed the sleek logo of Out of the Shadows. "They've expanded their operations into LA last year. Their model—providing sanctuary and training for wolves without packs, Omegas, the vulnerable—it's garnered significant support."
I skimmed the report, noting each figure and statistic. A noble venture, on the surface. Gavin's tone, however, held a note of subtle caution, precise and measured. "And the catch?"
"Their Alpha, Lucian Reid. He's... unconventional. Operates outside traditional pack hierarchies, ignoring expected protocols. There are whispers he's poaching members from established packs by offering what they lack—acceptance, for those their own families shun, and resources others cannot provide."
