starting around midnight.
    Dani got us a room in your tower . Then, only a few seconds later, Got some of her hair off a hairbrush in her room. Overnighting to Rain . Then a barrage of varieties of, text when you find the tablet .
    Damn. The tablet. He’d completely spaced out that part of the mission.
    Alex scrolled through the rest of Maggie’s texts, which went through the rest of the night.
    3:10am—Have you found it yet?
    3:44am—Alex?
    4:02am—Is the tablet in the suite?
    5:38am—Having Dani check Julianna’s room.
    So this wasn’t her room? He should’ve known. It had no personal touches, none of her clothing, nothing that would signify she lived here. He kicked the suitcase for good measure. He needed to pay closer attention.
    6:09am — Tablet not in her room. Must be with you.
    8:13am — Alex?
    10:04am—Alex?
    He moved his fingers around the screen, finding her number. Alex pressed the phone icon, taking a deep breath.
    She was gonna be pissed.
    “What the hell?” greeted him.
    “Good morning to you, too, Mag.”
    “Where the hell are you?”
    “In the penthouse. Where else?”
    Maggie took a couple of deep breaths, then said something in a muffled voice to someone else in whatever room she was in. But mostly, the background was silent. “Alex. You had sex with her.”
    He swallowed and fisted his hand against his leg. “You don’t understand. There are extenuating circumstances.”
    “You were supposed to get in and out of that room and find some reason that you weren’t compatible.”
    With a terse laugh, he leaned against the empty closet wall. “If you’d been here, you’d understand. There was no reason.”
    Her breath was loud in his ear. “No. You can’t possibly expect me to believe…” Another long sigh. “I knew this was a bad idea.”
    “Well, there’s nothing we can do about it now.” Alex scratched his hand through his hair, settling at the base of his neck. “
    “She’s the enemy.” Maggie’s tone bit him and he had to bear down on his anger to keep from biting back.
    “Mag, she’s not even a wolf. And I don’t think she knows anything about the island at all. She talked about her father a lot last night and never mentioned it.”
    “She never mentioned her sadistic father’s werewolf brothel island?” Her scoffing laugh brought the anger back. “That’s a real shocker.”
    “You don’t understand.” He pressed back against the wall, trying to keep his emotions in check. “There’s…magick between us.”
    There, he’d said it . Alex waited for her response, but it never came. He could hear her breathing.
    “Mag?”
    “This is dangerous,” she whispered.
    He couldn’t disagree. Their orders from the alphas had been to bring her in, along with her father, but she wasn’t who they thought she was. “I’m not even sure she’ll have access to the feeds we need, even if I can find the tablet.”
    “Well, you focus on that for now.”
    Alex bent down and rifled through the suitcase. Immaculately packed underwear. More corsets. But no clothes. Even the dress she’d worn the previous night was gone. “She must have gone back to her room to change,” he said. “I don’t see her clothes here, even. And no tablet.”
    “Are you looking at her suitcase?”
    “Yes.”
    “Check the pockets. And the bottom. See if there’s a false bottom.”
    He did as she instructed, but came up empty. Toothpaste, toothbrush, makeup bag, all tightly packed away.
    “Nothing.” He folded the edge of one red corset back to the way he’d found it. “Nothing that even smells like work.”
    “Well, she’s down in the office now. Maybe she has it with her.” Maggie covered the phone again and spoke to someone in the room with her. “Donovan will go down and see if he can get eyes on Dani or Andrea.”
    “Jeez, are they all on staff now?”
    “Yeah, they’re hiring about ten positions. Some kind of major turnover.”
    The air was silent between them. They both
