Adrian's POV
From the moment the meeting began, tension and nausea gripped me like chains I couldn't shake off. I couldn't explain why.
And worse, it hadn't been because of the voices I heard muffled in my head clamouring for I to be removed from the position of CEO. Saying that I wasn't worthy of the position and a better leader needed to be elected.
I had taken the correct dose of scent blockers and suppressants this morning before coming here, yet they betrayed me at the worst possible time. And when they weren't supposed to.
Was it because my body had been weakening these past few days? Or perhaps from the strain of yesterday when I nearly tumbled headlong down the stairs just to keep Lance from drowning?
Whatever the reason, my suppressants failed me. The moment I felt the first crack in control, I knew. My pheromones seeped through, faint but undeniable. I tensed, fearing that some of the alpha's and alpha heirs in the room might perceive it.
