THE ALPHA'S HUMAN HIRE

“Maya needs money. Not want, need. Her mom's medical bills are piling up and she's out of options, so when a high paying executive assistant job pops up at Apex Motors, she doesn't overthink it, she just applies. Big paycheck, that's literally all she's thinking about. What she doesn't know? The entire executive floor is run by werewolves. Not a metaphor, actual wolves in actual suits, led by a CEO named Valen Cross who is giving off zero human warmth and a whole lot of alpha energy. When a key position opens up right before their billion dollar EV launch, Valen hires Maya anyway, pack be damned, because she's sharp and she knows supply chains better than half his board. His pack is not here for it, but Valen doesn't care. Maya settles in fast, even with the weird hours, the tension that never leaves the room, and coworkers who all act just a little too intense for a normal nine to five. She has no clue why. She just thinks corporate culture is brutal and her boss is impossible. Meanwhile Valen is losing his mind a little, because something about her, her scent, her presence, whatever it is, keeps pulling at instincts he's spent years keeping locked down. He tries to stay uptight. He fails. THINGS GET REAL SO FAST. One night, everything gets too close, too much, and something inside Maya wakes up. Turns out she's not fully human, she's half werewolf and nobody ever told her. Valen figures it out before she fully processes it herself, and instead of exposing her, he hides it. He's protecting her now at the cost of his own people. The other members of the board start digging into her past together, trying to understand what she actually is that she is able to get the CEO to her side, and that's when it gets messy. Maya's birth mother isn't just some random person, she's the sworn enemy of Valen's mother, the matriarch running the entire pack. Maya isn't just an outsider, she's tied to the bloodline his family has hated for generations. Corporate saboteurs start circling the EV launch right as Valen's mother finds out exactly who Maya is. She wants Maya gone, accuses her of being a spy, no exceptions. Valen has to pick a side, pack law or the woman he's already fallen for........ IS MAYA ACTUALLY A SPY OR NOT?”
