A sticky sensation clung between her thighs, and as the warmth of last night’s memories surged forward, her eyes snapped open. Reality hit her like a cold slap. She sat up slowly, drawing the sheets tighter around her bare chest, as if she could hide from the truth. The echo of Knox’s hands on her skin, his mouth on her throat, the way he murmured her name like it meant something—it all flooded back. Shame coiled in her stomach. “What did I do…” she whispered. This wasn’t how things were supposed to happen. She had come here to survive, to keep her head down, to understand the truth behind the twisted mate bonds. Not to sleep with the Alpha Lycan—especially not under these circumstances. She closed her eyes and pressed her palms to her face. What had she been thinking? Her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden voice in her mind. Emi
She was beautiful. Not in the polished, rehearsed way most she-wolves were trained to be, but in a raw, unfiltered kind of way that made it impossible for Knox to look anywhere else. He couldn’t stop thinking about the way she looked at him. The way her lips had tasted just moments ago. Even now, when she pulled back slightly, her breath brushing his skin, he couldn't let go. Her presence clung to his senses, intoxicating and consuming. Something had changed between them. Even after hearing her story about Circe—her missing wolf, her broken bond—he didn’t pull away. He had promised to help her, to stand by her. But the promise wasn’t just duty anymore. It was desire. It was something deeper. Something primal. Lydia’s eyes locked on his, searching, questioning, maybe even scared. But she didn’t flinch. Her gaze didn’t waver. Knox didn’t know what to do. His heart was racing, pounding like war drums in his chest. The air between them had thickened with tension. It reeked of lust—hi
“Alpha, what did you find?” Brian asked as he reached the clearing, his voice laced with urgency. Knox turned his head slowly, his expression unreadable. His piercing green eyes landed on his Beta, who stood panting beside John—the Gamma—both of them in their shifted, naked human forms. The smell of sweat, blood, and wolf fur clung to the air. “I clearly told you to come alone, didn’t I?” Knox said, his voice dangerously low. Brian scoffed but didn’t flinch. “Yes, you did. But since you crossed the pack border into rogue territory—or what do I even call it? A human-watched zone? It’s dangerous. I had to bring backup.” Knox’s gaze sharpened. “So you think I need help if things go south?” Brian met his Alpha’s stare without fear. “That’s not what I said.” It was more than just words. It was a memory—a lifetime of brotherhood between them. Knox wasn’t just his Alpha. He was his friend, his comrade from academy days, the boy who had once ripped through a sparring circle with such f
The door closed softly behind Lydia, and Knox stood in the office for a few moments longer, watching the silence settle like dust around him. He didn’t move, didn’t blink—just stood there, jaw clenched, heart pounding louder than it had during the blood-binding ceremony. He opened the door after she had gone and took the stairs to the second floor. He turned sharply and opened a mind link with Brian, his Beta. “How’s the party?” Knox asked, his mental tone even but curt. Brian responded immediately. “Smooth. Ella and Kate have quieted down after their little outburst. Most pack members have left, while some—your friends—are mellow now, dancing or drinking. I had Nina choose a bedroom suite on the third floor.” Knox’s brow furrowed. “Third floor?” “Yeah. She wasn’t thrilled about it,” Brian replied with a dry chuckle. “Complained that it was ‘too far from the Alpha wing,’ but she took it. I made sure she understood it wasn’t up for debate.” Knox wanted to laugh. Nina would, of
