I hated this. Hated the fact that I was an omega now more than ever. I pulled against the chains holding me down, hoping that it’ll break or something, but none of that was happening. I wasn’t at my full strength, but I knew that even if I was, these binds weren’t going to budge. A part of me screamed to kill him—to tear him limb from limb with my claws, to drive a knife into the smug bastard's chest and actually complete the job of killing him. But my body, the traitorous, untrustworthy shit, melted at his touch. It hurt for him, pulsing in rhythm with each stroke of his fingers on my burning skin. He was right. The heat was suffocating me and if I didn’t let him complete the bind, I was going to die. Pathetic. I really didn’t envision myself dying in such a humiliating way. I despised him for it. Despised that my pride had to fight against instincts that didn’t care about who he was or what he’d done to my family. The only thing my body understood at that very moment was that he was a virile Alpha and it craved him. Badly. The chains rattled above me, cutting into my wrists as I strained against the sheets. My body ached, my cock throbbed, and my hole clutched at nothing. The emptiness there was driving me crazy and I was panting, sweat beading on my skin, stray strands of my brown hair sticking to my face. My legs trembled with unfulfilled need. He'd left me like this. Spread and exposed. Taunting me from across the room, and smoking that damned cigar as if this was some fucking game. The sweet taste of the cigar lingered on my tongue and my hole clenched involuntarily. "Bastard," I snarled. Rhett turned and walked towards me again, the cigar jammed into his mouth, his shirt open to display a hard, scarred chest and abs chiseled from hard work and war. His green eyes shone softly in the dim light, feral and hungry. "You're drooling, little wolf," he said, crouching in front of me. A low growl escaped my lips. He drew the cigar from his mouth, and held it to mine again. "Take a hit." I hesitated, my lips trembling and then I took the cigar and inhaled. Sweet and bitter smoke flooded my lungs and my head became foggier than it already was. He smiled, rubbing a finger down my jaw. "You hate me," he said. "Say it." "I hate you." "Good. That makes this more enjoyable." And then he kissed me. Hard. I nipped his bottom lip. He growled and shoved me back onto the bed again. His hand wrapping around my throat in a dominant and forceful hold that made my dick weep a little more. "If you want to play," he growled, his voice low, "you'd better learn to take it too." And then I felt two fingers in me, stretching me wide open and fucking me with brutal thrusts that had me pushing my ass into his hands. Uncontrollable moans escaped my lips. He spat on my asshole, rubbing the wetness around the nubby hole and then, I felt it. No warning. No hesitation. The head of his dick rubbed against my hole and he began to push in. I reluctantly opened up to him. I wasn’t used to this intrusion, at least not one of his size. He kept pushing, harder and harder, until finally, I felt him enter me completely. My eyes rolled to the back of my head in unadulterated pleasure. I couldn’t concentrate on anything, just the wild, brutal thrust of his cock breaking me open. I screamed—not in pain, not exactly—in shock. In rage. In unimaginable need. My back arched into him despite my protests. My hips rocked forward, meeting him thrust for thrust. He clamped his hands on my hips and slammed into me again, harder, deeper. The bed creaked between us, the headboard slamming into the wall as he took me with every thrust. "You feel that?" he growled. "You feel how perfect you are around me?" "Shut up!" He laughed and pulled out all the way. I shrieked in rage. "Beg." "No!" He bit down on my chin, turning my face around to look into his eyes. "Tell me, Declan. Tell me you want it." "I want to kill you," I said with a sarcastic smile. My hole clenched around nothing and my ire increased. I needed him back in me. He kissed me once more, one filled with tongue and teeth as we fought for dominance. And then I felt the chains drop to the bed as he maneuvered me onto my front and drove into me once more. I screamed this time, my head crashing into the pillow as he buried deep his cock deep, the head rubbing against my prostate until I was writhing in unbridled pleasure. "Rhett!" I screamed out. "There he is," he growled lowly, before increasing his pace. I clawed the sheets. I bit the pillow. I did whatever I could not to give in. But I was lost. My orgasm ripped through me like a blade. It hit me with a ferocity that I wasn't prepared for. Cum covered the sheets below me, a white stain against the silk red. I sobbed with the fervor of it, with the shame, with the humiliation. He didn’t stop. He went on, even as I trembled and whimpered and pleaded in broken sounds. He fucked me through it, biting my shoulder, leaving possessive bruises on my hips. And when he finally came, he did so deep inside me, with a growl like that of a feral beast in my ear. I felt the bond spark anew and it was like lightning at the edges of my eyes. It tethered us tighter. I didn’t want us close. He collapsed over me, panting, his mouth skimming the base of my neck. We didn't say anything for several minutes. Only the sound of our breathing, and the softly clinking chains as I struggled not to let out a scream of rage. The worst thing was that this was going to go on for a while until the bond was completely created. I could already feel another heat. At last, he shifted and rolled off me, releasing my wrists. I wrapped myself up in a ball, pulling the covers over my body. He didn't touch me. He just sat on the edge of the bed, and took another drag off the discarded cigar after relighting it. "Get some rest," he said. "Don't talk to me." He didn't say anything. I stared at the ceiling, my heart racing, my body sore, my soul shattered. And all I could think was: I need to escape. But a part of me thought something worse. Something I could help but think. I want him again.Rhett's POV I heard Colt's voice over the speakers calling my name, and the room quieted in that way it always does when the alpha is summoned. Applause started before I even stood, polite at first, then building as I buttoned my jacket and walked to the stage. The lights were bright, but I was used to it. I took the steps slow, nodding to a few familiar faces in the front rows, investors who had been with us since the beginning. Colt handed me the microphone with a quick grin and stepped aside. "All yours, boss." I adjusted the stand and looked out at the crowd. Two hundred plus faces, all turned toward me, waiting. Some I knew well, some only from emails and conference calls. All of them important tonight. "Thank you, Colt," I started, voice steady. "And thank you all for being here. This night belongs to every one of you as much as it does to us." I paused, letting the words settle. "First, to our investors. You didn't just write checks. You believed when others walked away.
Colt's POV I stood at the podium under the spotlight, microphone warm in my hand, looking out at the sea of tuxedos and gowns. The applause from my introduction had died down, and the room waited for me to kick things off. My jaw still ached a little from the night before, but the healing shift had done its job. No one would notice. "Good evening again, everyone," I said, leaning in just enough to make it feel casual. "Dinner was incredible, right? Give the chefs another round of applause." The crowd obliged, clapping toward the kitchen doors where the staff peeked out and waved. "Tonight isn't just about eating and looking pretty," I continued. "We've got speeches, auctions, games, and a few surprises to keep you on your toes. First up, the man who makes all this possible, our president and alpha, Rhett Valdez." I stepped aside as Rhett rose from the head table. He walked up with that steady stride everyone knew, took the podium, and adjusted the mic height without fuss. The ro
Third person POV The grand ballroom of the Valdez estate gleamed under strings of golden lights that stretched from one end to the other like a canopy of stars brought indoors. Black and gold dominated the color scheme, with long tables draped in crisp linen, centerpieces of dark roses and flickering candles, and banners bearing the pack crest hanging from the high beams. The air carried the scent of fresh flowers mixed with expensive cologne and the faint hint of anticipation that always accompanied large gatherings of powerful people. Staff moved efficiently through the space, adjusting silverware, topping off champagne flutes on passing trays, and directing early arrivals to their assigned areas. The string quartet in the corner played soft classical pieces, the notes floating over the low hum of conversation as guests began to filter in. Outside, the red carpet stretched from the valet drop-off to the main entrance, flanked by velvet ropes and subtle security in tailored suits
Killian POV I woke up to Nikolai's alarm blaring at six sharp, the same annoying chime he'd used for years because it was the only one that actually got him out of bed. He was already half up, reaching to silence it, but I grabbed his wrist and pulled him back down against me. "Five more minutes," I mumbled into his neck. "We have the morning briefing at seven," he said, but he didn't fight when I rolled him under me and kissed him quiet. We didn't get five minutes. We got twenty, tangled in sheets and each other, until his phone buzzed with a text from the office manager reminding us the caterers needed final approval by eight. I groaned and let him go. "Fine. Shower. Coffee. World domination." He laughed and shoved me toward the bathroom. By six forty-five we were downstairs. Nikolai in a dark suit, tie still loose, hair damp. Me in jeans and a button-down because I refused to wear a full suit before nine unless someone was dying. The kitchen was chaos. Coffee brewing, toast
Colt's POV I slammed the door to my room hard enough to make the frame rattle, but it didn’t help. My jaw throbbed where Rhett’s fist had landed, a hot pulse that matched the anger burning in my chest. Brother or alpha or whatever the hell he wanted to be tonight, he had no right. I grabbed my keys off the dresser, shoved my wallet in my pocket, and headed for the garage. The bike started with a roar that felt good, too loud for the quiet night. I didn’t bother with a helmet. I just twisted the throttle and shot down the driveway, gravel spitting behind me. The cold air slapped my face, stung the split in my lip, but I welcomed it. Anything to drown out Rhett’s voice calling me a useless fool. I rode aimless for a while, letting the roads twist under the wheels, but my hands knew where they were going even if my head didn’t want to admit it. Twenty minutes later I pulled into the gravel lot of The Rusty Nail, the dive bar on the edge of town where nobody asked questions and the be
Rhett's POV I sat behind my desk staring at the reports Killian and Colt had just dropped in front of me. Adrian Wilder Corporation's stock had taken a nosedive, Meridian was scrambling to distance themselves, and the leaked files were already making rounds in every finance chat that mattered. It was a clean kill. They had done exactly what I sent them to do. Killian leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed. "We didn't even have to raise our voices much. Declan’s dirt did the heavy lifting." Colt dropped into the chair across from me, stretching his legs out. "Guy's face when his shares started tanking was priceless. Like someone kicked his favorite dog." I nodded once. "Good work." Nikolai lingered by the window, hands in his pockets. He waited until Killian and Colt filed out before he spoke. "You need to ease up on Declan." I looked up sharp. "Not now." "Yes, now," he said, voice steady. "He didn't go behind your back to hurt you. He did it to protect you. To protect all
