Chapter Three

Two Weeks Later

Caro set her hair dryer on her marble countertop and paused. Was that a knock on her front door? It was still too early for Ethan to be here. He’d had to work late on a new job today, but she’d given him a key anyway.

As she ran a brush through her hair, she heard a definite, loud banging. Frowning, she hurried toward the front door. When she neared it, she froze. The scent of the male outside was unmistakable.

Francisco. Her ex.

Years ago she would have done anything to see his handsome face one more time. Now she felt…

annoyance. What the hell could he possibly be doing here? Frowning, she pulled the tie on her silky robe tighter around herself.

“Caro? Are you home?” Same deep voice.

Yep. Definitely him. Why hadn’t he called first?

Sighing, she opened the door. “Hello, Francisco?” It came out like a question because she couldn’t help it.

“Caro. You look beautiful.” He smiled warmly and made a move to embrace her but she crossed her arms over her chest and leaned back.

He looked exactly the same. Maybe a few years older but he’d aged very well. Same olive complexion and lean, dark Italian good looks. And he wore a tie and suit.

Armani, if she had to guess. Kind of stupid considering Miami’s humid weather, but she didn’t really care about that. She wanted to know why he was on her front porch.

“What are you doing here? Have you contacted my Alpha to let him know you’re in town?” Pack law dictated that any outsider encroaching on another territory—even if they were just passing through—had to notify the residing Alpha of their presence.

He shrugged, as if it were no big deal. “I wanted to see you first. You’re his sister-in-law. I figured it would be okay.”

She gritted her teeth, annoyed at his arrogant attitude. “So what are you doing here?”

He shrugged again in that nonchalant way of his that she used to love. As if nothing in the world mattered. “I was passing through and thought I’d look you up.”

Evasive answer. Likely a lie, if she scented right.

“We haven’t seen each other in a century and you just wanted to look me up?” She arched an eyebrow.

“Aren’t you going to invite me inside for a drink?”

He pasted on a smile she supposed was meant to be charming but just came off as fake. After being with a man like Ethan it was hard to believe she’d ever wanted someone like Francisco.

“Fine. You can come in for a quick one but I’m calling my Alpha first.” While she didn’t want to share a drink with him, she also didn’t want to chance her Alpha finding out he was hanging around Miami. Lucas was diplomatic but he also hated Francisco and she didn’t want any unnecessary drama.

“You look really great, Caro. You’re practically glowing,” he said as she shut the door behind them.

Instead of responding, she turned on her heel and led him to the kitchen. After calling
