Chapter 5

Mason could not believe his ears. She was back. After all this time, Abigail Vicente had come home.

“Mason? Mr. Andrews from the bank called when she came in and tried to access her old account. He had to tell her it had been closed the past ten years,” Claire’s voice sounded far away when she spoke.

As if she hadn’t been standing right in front of his desk. His new VP of Marketing interrupted a rather important call to his contacts in Japan to tell him the news. Apparently, his new administrative assistant was a little intimidated by him and asked her to deliver the news.

He’d have to chat with the young man he’d hired as a favor to his Alpha. David Matthews was a local kid. A Werewolf too. Like Mason. But he’d been kind of sheltered most of his life. He had no knowledge of his supernatural side until his Change.

He was a later bloomer. It happened just a few weeks ago. Right after the kid had graduated from high school. Rafe had come to him and asked him to hire the kid as an intern before he started college courses in the fall. Mason didn’t mind one bit. He’d just have to teach the young man that, although Mason was a dominant Wolf, he wasn’t an animal.

Even if he’d felt like one when Claire dropped that bomb on him. His conservative employee looked at him with sympathy in her dark brown eyes. She’d closed the door after delivering the news. She knew him well enough that she respected his privacy. He could hardly imagine what his facial expression had been when he’d heard the news.

His head felt like it would explode from the thundering roar that rang in his ears. Maybe it was his heartbeat, maybe it was something else he couldn’t name. He’d hung up on his call to Japan without a single word and left the office.

There was no way he’d miss the opportunity to tell Abigail Vicente exactly where she could go after what she’d done to him! He deserved answers, damn it. Just what the hell was she trying to pull? Going to the bank? Then to the house?

After he’d gotten in the car, he’d called a few people he knew, and it seemed she’d been at the Vicente home all day. Digging for buried treasure maybe? Cold-hearted to the end, he thought to himself as he sped down the street.

The letters and emails he’d sent had gone unanswered for years. He tried one last time after her father passed away. That was months ago.

Maybe she was just after the money. After all, news of his success had been blasted across the internet since the past winter when he launched Bite: Seasons. It was the latest in his flavored artisan whiskey.

The idea was his. To come out with a new flavor of Bite every three months with the start of each season, named appropriately of course. He began with Spring Bite which was an unmitigated success.
