LYON

I am reeling.

Actually, let me rephrase that—I am completely stunned by my own lack of restraint.

Viktor and Adrian didn't just take me; they dismantled me. They overrode every refined instinct I possessed, forcing me to the precipice of my own endurance. They made me feel utterly powerless, as if I were nothing more than a toy for their pack to discard.

And the most terrifying part?

I craved every second of it.

I had practically begged for that specific brand of ruin.

As I retreat toward

    The strategist’s pulse was still hammering against his ribs, a frantic rhythm ignited by the sheer ease with which Viktor had removed Nico from his path. To the massive Alpha, the backup goalie had been nothing more than an inconvenient obstacle—a piece of debris to be cleared so the way remained open for Lyon.Now, the same heavy hand that had been cinched around a neck was sliding with proprietary intent beneath the hem of Lyon’s shorts. When Viktor’s fingers met the slick, bared skin of Lyon's heat instead of the barrier of silk undergarments, a low, tectonic growl vibrated through his chest."No silk this morning, Lyon?"Lyon blinked up at him, maintaining a mask of sophisticated innocence that didn't quite hide the hunger in his eyes. "It appears the haste of our departure caused me to overlook them."Immediately, Viktor pressed his fingers against the strategist's entrance, the movement firm and unrelenting, asserting his dominance before he had even fully breached the man’s dep

    VIKTORViktor felt a primal, bone-deep urge to end the man. The second he witnessed the backup goalie obstructing Lyon’s path, the impulse to kill was almost overwhelming. If the strategist hadn't been standing directly in the line of fire, Viktor might have followed through on that dark instinct.However, if his upbringing among the northern packs and Lyon’s previous calculated strikes at the media desk had taught him anything, it was that every action carries a weight of consequence. For taking a life? Those consequences were absolute. If he had snapped that sniveling coward’s neck right before the match that would allow them to shatter the quarter-final barrier for the first time in an era, he wouldn't have just been sentencing himself to exile. He would have been sabotaging the entire Stormbreakers pack.That didn't mean Nico didn't deserve a grim fate for the way he had addressed Lyon. Viktor might have left him gasping and humiliated in his seat instead of leaving a corpse in th

    ADRIAN"No need for apologies, sweetheart," Adrian murmured, his voice a low, vibrating rumble that seemed to resonate through the floorboards of the penthouse. He offered Lyon a rare, genuine smile, one devoid of his usual jagged edges. "The history is out there now. I just wanted you to have the unvarnished truth before we left San Diego.""I appreciate the honesty, Adrian. Truly," Lyon replied, his sophisticated mask finally beginning to stitch itself back together, though his breathing remained uneven."Me too." Adrian cast a long, sweeping glance around the living room, which had devolved into a complete wreckage of luxury. Lyon’s designer garments and silk harness were discarded across the minimalist furniture like battle trophies, and the scent of their union hung heavy in the air. "Well, hell. I suppose we should actually get your luggage sorted for the flight, shouldn't we?"Lyon’s amber eyes flickered with a sudden, predatory spark as he pulled Adrian back down into a bruisi

    The atmosphere in the penthouse thickens, heavy with the scent of pine and rain—the unmistakable musk of an Alpha who has spent too much time in the wild. Lyon’s reaction is visceral; the strategist's composed facade has more than just cracked. Whether he is prepared to voice it or not, Adrian knows his revelation—the raw truth of his past—has struck a chord deeper than any media headline ever could.The crimson silk of the harness strains and then gives way as Adrian discards it, letting the expensive fabric flutter to the hardwood like autumn leaves. He has seen Lyon’s lean, powerful physique many times since the man took over the Stormbreakers' operations, but a surge of possessive heat flares in his chest as he realizes this is the first time he has the Strategist entirely to himself. Adrian’s hands are far from gentle as he grips Lyon’s waist, hauling him down. When their mouths collide, the kiss is a starving thing. It is forceful, desperate, and despite the frantic rhythm of Ly

    "Mm. Naturally, you're actually correct for once." Lyon smirks back at Adrian, the sharp intelligence in his gaze softening just a fraction. "I suppose even a broken clock finds the right second eventually.""Oh, I believe my instincts have been remarkably accurate lately, darling." Adrian winks, his arm tightening around Lyon to erase the remaining distance between them. "Particularly when the subject is you.""Is that a fact?" Lyon feigns an unimpressed sigh, though he doesn't pull away. "And what precisely have your instincts concluded?""Why don’t you permit me to stop by the harborfront on Thursday evening so I can elaborate?" Adrian proposes, his voice dropping to a gravelly timber. "I could even assist you with the logistics of packing for Vancouver.""It sounds more like you're simply hunting for some isolated time with me, Adrian." Lyon’s eyes narrow with practiced suspicion, yet the corner of his mouth twitches upward."And if that’s my agenda?" Adrian reaches out, the side

    ADRIANSince the night of their inaugural victory, the atmosphere between Lyon Navarro and the rest of the pack had shifted fundamentally. Undoubtedly, he remained the same sharp-tongued strategist who had systematically dismantled their previous seasons with his calculated media strikes—but now, he was also the primary catalyst behind their current absolute dominance on the ice. While he still possessed an endless supply of refined barbs and sophisticated retorts to hurl at them whenever one of the Alphas sought to get under his skin, there was an underlying layer of warmth to his defiance now.He wouldn’t be Lyon Navarro without that signature blend of elegance and razor-sharp snark, after all. In Adrian’s mind, every time the man called him an unrefined, impulsive wildman, it was simply Lyon’s unique way of signaling his deepening investment in the pack."If you Alphas continue to dominate the home ice with this much ferocity, you’re going to attract a following larger than you’re
