"You need a sanity check," Lucas growled, his jaw set in a hard line as he stared at the wolf across the threshold. "I didn't even know your scent until last Wednesday. Why are we talking about me? Cass is here to settle the debt you owe him for being a backstabbing snake."

Brandon Cole didn't flinch. He reached out, his fingers clamping onto Cass’s bicep like a vice, pulling him into his personal space. His eyes searched Cass’s for a flicker of betrayal. "Don’t trust him, Cass. The prick loath

    "Is your shadow of a housemate actually around tonight?"I kept my focus locked on the holographic display, my thumbs twitching over the haptic pads of the pack-issued training console. I waited until I’d successfully put a silver-tipped round through the throat of the rogue vamp on the screen before I cut Jax a look. "You got a problem with how you say that, Mendoza?"He shrugged, leaning back in his chair with his massive legs dangling over the armrest. "So, where’s the pup?""I’m not his keeper." I shrugged back. Our avatars moved through the frozen ruins of a Lycan fortress, side by side, claws out.Jax snorted, his character kicking in a heavy stone door and disappearing into a dark tunnels. "You’re going to look me in the eye and say you have zero clue where he is?"I followed him in, seriously considering a friendly-fire headshot. Jax was starting to grate on my nerves. "He said he was hitting the Harbor Street Bar for drinks with some friends."Jax shot me a look that said I w

    "You've been digging for thirty minutes. Enough."I drained the last drop of my drink and set the glass down with a definitive clack. The pack sisters had spent the entire night clawing at the remains of my relationship, begging for every jagged detail of the split. It was a hunt. Any time I tried to change the lead, they circled right back to Brandon Cole."I’m out," I announced, standing up. "Thanks for dragging me out of the den, but I've hit my limit. I'm heading back.""What?" the three of them barked at once. Hands snapped out to snag my sleeves. "You just got here, Cass.""And look at you. That body is wasted in a dark corner. People need to see this."I arched a brow, scanning Murphy’s Tavern. It was a Tuesday. The place was a graveyard. Aside from two tables of mated pairs who couldn't care less about us, we were alone."One more hour," Diego’s sister, Vanessa, pleaded, her grip tightening on my wrist. "Please."I exhaled, my head suddenly full of a much better plan. I saw my

    "Cass? Wake up."The low rumble of Luke’s voice vibrated against my cheek. I jolted, my eyes snapping open."Again," I grumbled, but I didn't pull away. He was a furnace. A solid, warm wall of muscle.After I’d slunk back into his room last night in heavy sweats and a thick shirt, we’d stayed up in the dark. We watched the old legal tapes—Night Court—and between laughing at Dan Fielding’s ego and Bull’s towering height, I’d drifted. Now, I was sprawled across him like a blanket.This was a bad habit. One of these days, Luke was going to growl at me to get out of his bed.Or maybe not.I started to shift, then went still. My hip was pressed right against a heavy, undeniable ridge beneath his joggers. Morning wood.My gaze shot to his face. I didn't want to be caught looking.He was still out. His jaw was relaxed, his face tilted toward the window where the pale light of the Navarro Memorial Stadium glinted in the distance.I rolled off him, heart hammering. As I went to pull the quilt

    Luke snorted, his hand dropping from his hair to the mattress as he leaned toward Cass. "This is insane. Don't let that headcase poison you like that. He didn't drop the puck on your relationship because you were 'bad' at it. You just woke me from a deep sleep and had my pulse redlining faster than a breakaway. If he says you’re a bust in bed, he’s a liar. Which—shocker—we know he is."Cass stayed huddled in the quilt, eyes fixed on the shadows."The only reason he went looking for other wolves was his own ego," Luke continued, his voice rough with rising heat. "Cheating is a power play for him. It has zero to do with you or your performance. He could’ve had something incredible if he’d ever bothered to move his feet, if he’d actually thought about what you needed. God, I can't stand him. That pathetic loser turned his own failure around on you. I just want to—fuck. I hate him. I hate him so much."Luke gripped the locks of his hair, trying to anchor the rage vibrating through his fra

    LUKE"Cass? What’s—"I’d barely drifted into a restless sleep when a hand clamped onto my shoulder. I lurched upright, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped bird. In the dim light of the Navarro Ridge apartment, I squinted until his silhouette sharpened."Shh." Cass pressed his palm over my mouth. "Not a word. This isn't reality. Don't make it real. I just... I need this."Before I could process a syllable, he grabbed the edges of my quilt and flung it back. He moved like a predator, straddling my waist and sinking his weight directly onto me."But—""Quiet." His hand hit my chest, shoving me back against the pillows. "One sound and I'm out of here. If you want me to leave, talk. If you want me to stay, shut up. This isn't happening. No talking."I stayed silent. There wasn't a single part of this I wanted to stop.He waited, gauging my breath, then shifted. He slid down and back up, a slow, agonizing grind that made my vision blur. The heat from his body scorched through

He reached out, his fingers clamping onto Cass’s bicep like a vice, pulling him into his personal space. His eyes searched Cass’s for a flicker of betrayal. "Don’t trust him, Cass. The prick loathes me more than he loves the game. He’d do anything for the ultimate strike against me—including marking you behind my back.""Strike?" Cass echoed, the silver-cold dread rising along his spine. He’d never heard Brandon use the word so venomously. "What did you do to him that warrants that kind of blood-debt?"Brandon ignored the question, his grip tightening. "He’s only sniffing your trail because of me. He wants to use you as a pawn. Don't let him. He doesn't give a damn about you. You're goin
