Every time he’d been in there previously, she’d been nothing but smiles and overt flirts. But now, she was nervous. He was curious as to the reason why Glenn had just upped and left, given that the hotel was nowhere near finished, but really it was none of his business. All he knew is that nothing about this situation sat right with him or his wolf.
    “We got a call that some damage had been done,” he stated plainly.
    Shannon shook her head almost apologetically. “Yes, but it’s nothing really…”
    He arched an eyebrow, and she gulped. “Tell me.”
    “It was just some damage to the foundations, it’s fixable, but has set us back a couple of weeks… it’s probably just teenagers, right?”
    “Yeah, probably,” he replied unenthusiastically.
    He was surprised by Shannon’s attitude. When Glenn was here he made sure that Jake knew the exact details of everything that was broken, how much it cost and how long it was going to take to fix, and then he went on to criticize their ‘obscure hick town’ and rail and accuse all the wolves of plotting against the hotel. It was never a pleasant experience to deal with Glenn.
    Shannon, on the other hand, seemed to be remorseful over something that wasn’t her fault. Jake already knew that she hadn’t done the previous damage; she’d been installed in Bar Luna, flirting mercilessly with various pack mates, and he doubted she would start doing anything now. He still suspected that Glenn had been causing the damage, but if he was no longer in town…
    “Did you put up the security cameras as I advised?”
    She shook her head and managed to look like a naughty schoolgirl. “Glenn said it was a waste of money, but his replacement is arriving tonight, so I’ll talk to her when she arrives.”
    “Do, I’ll send you a copy of the report for your insurance claim.”
    “Thanks.”
    Jake started striding toward the exit. “I’ll just take a look around at the damage.”
    It wasn’t as bad as he was expecting, but it was still pretty bad. He tried to get a scent, but he guessed that whoever did it covered their own scent, and because of all the different people working on the site, he couldn’t be sure he would get the right one. He considered asking Don, the pack tracker, to try, but doubted it would help.
    His phone rang, and with increasing annoyance, he was informed that an argument had erupted between his pack mate Hans and one of the construction workers. Hans didn’t like the way that the guy looked at his mate, Melanie. Apparently the guy had given her a lingering look. It didn’t take much to set Hans off. The wolf shifter was as explosive as a firecracker .
    Great . They didn’t really need the pack stirring things up even more. He was already uneasy about the way things were going. There were already rumors abounding that the pack was trying to undermine the hotel. It was like freaking Chinese whispers. People were making them out to be bullies.
    Both he and Adam suspected that the Mayor had been fanning the flames of discontent. A pack member, Jolene, worked for the Mayor, and although she felt guilty about it, she had reported to Adam just how hopping mad the Mayor was over the problems at the hotel. He was keen for the hotel to be built and not at all keen on the pack. Although, thankfully his anger wasn’t directed at Jolene. But it meant that the townspeople were starting to turn hostile to the pack.
    He’d talk to Adam and tell him that pack members needed to stay away from the construction site and all the workers. But for now, he needed to deal with the latest blow-up from his pack mate, Hans.

    Val sighed at the mess of paperwork on her desk. What the crap had Glenn been doing? Where were his plans? Where was his filing system? Everything was a clusterfuck of a mess.
    She allowed herself a smidge of self-pity and rested her head on the desk. In her haste to run home and pack the previous day, she forgot to ask Lois about why
