MATEO

"I’m not stopping," I growled against his skin.

The adrenaline from the lounge floor hadn't faded; it had mutated into something hungrier. After we retreated to my private quarters, the air turned electric. Victor was a revelation—a storm of heat and desperation that matched my own. We spent the night charting every inch of skin, teeth grazing bone, until the first hint of gray light touched the horizon.

When I finally carried him back to his own suite, he was dead weight in my arms, exha

    "Open your mouth, little wolf," Teo growled.Victor looked up from his binds, his chest heaving. He didn't look the way I expected. There was no pleading in his eyes, only a dark, curious fire. Stripped bare and lashed to the mahogany posts of the Ocean Master Suite, he looked like a sacred offering left out for the Alphas to find. My blood turned to liquid heat instantly. The dormant beast inside my marrow woke up, snarling, as I noted the slick sheen on his inner thighs and the red blooming across his skin from the marks I’d just left. Even his nipples were swollen and dark, making him look like something out of a fever dream."You should take the first bite," I told Teo. "Since I was the one who claimed him in Tahoe.""The first bite of what?" Victor shouted, his voice echoing off the vaulted ceiling."The first to wreck you," Teo responded, his golden eyes fixed on Victor’s throat. "The first to make you bleed for your lies."Victor let out a jagged laugh. "Spoken like a true tyra

    “You’re out of your mind if you think you have any leverage left,” Alex growled, his amber eyes flaring with a predatory light that made the air in the Ocean Master Suite thick with the scent of musk and aggression.He thrust his hips forward again, the heavy denim of his jeans rubbing against the sensitive skin between Victor’s thighs. I watched from the shadows of my own mind as Victor let out a jagged moan, his head falling back against the mahogany headboard. Alex leaned down, his nose grazing the hollow of Victor’s throat, inhaling the scent of fear and pheromones like a starving wolf. Then, he stopped. He looked torn, his jaw tight enough to snap bone.“I wonder how Teo is going to react when he walks in and finds us like this,” Alex whispered, his voice a low, vibrating rumble that vibrated through Victor’s chest. He grabbed Victor’s bound wrists and shoved them deeper into the plush pillows. “Does my brother know what you did? Does he know about the heat you put out for me whi

    "So you found the hidden door. Too bad you're looking for a ghost," I said.Victor whirled around, his eyes blowing wide with a shock that scented the air like ozone. I had him."You're making a mistake," I tried to growl, but the tape over my mouth turned it into a pathetic whimper.I was shoved into the back of a vehicle. I knew it was Mateo’s scent filling the cabin, sharp and dangerous, while Alejandro took the wheel. My head was swallowed by a rough black hood, plunging me into a darkness that smelled of dust and old blood. Their faces were burned into my retinas from the moment they caught me—Mateo looking like he wanted to rip my throat out, and Alejandro wearing that cold, predatory smirk of a wolf who had finally cornered the rabbit.My triumph at finding the hidden compartment had lasted seconds. It vanished the moment the glass case slid out empty. Then came the voice. The trap.I’d tried to talk Diego Martinez out of the lethal play. When we met at the Harbor Bean Café, he

    ALEJANDRO“Mateo’s losing his mind,” I snapped, slamming the door of the Vargas Grand Casino executive suite.Mateo didn't move from the plush leather sofa. He looked like he’d been dragged through the shadow-lands of the pack territory. He tossed a small, amber vial onto the dark mahogany desk. It rattled against the wood.“Eye medication?” I asked, picking it up.“Only if you want to go blind and stop breathing.” Mateo stood up, his frame vibrating with repressed shift-energy. “It’s a chemical knock-out, Alex. A lethal dose of that synthetic shit Dr. Castillo cooked up. Victor had it hidden in his suite. Stashed like a damn assassin.”I dropped the bottle as if it were on fire. "Are you saying VX is a plant?"“I’m saying he’s been holding a kill-switch for us since he arrived!” Mateo began pacing, his claws twitching at his fingertips. “And now the other half of this is probably sitting in his bathroom while he pretends to be the perfect mate. Then there’s Diego Martinez. That basta

After we retreated to my private quarters, the air turned electric. Victor was a revelation—a storm of heat and desperation that matched my own. We spent the night charting every inch of skin, teeth grazing bone, until the first hint of gray light touched the horizon.When I finally carried him back to his own suite, he was dead weight in my arms, exhausted and smelling of my scent. As I lowered him onto the silk sheets, his thigh hooked around my hip, dragging me back down."Sleep," I commanded, though my own body was betraying me.He didn't listen. His fingers tangled in my hair, pulling my mouth to his. He nipped at my lip, tasting like salt and surrender, until my resolve snapped."You're asking for a wreckage," I warned, climbing over him.Victor just laughed—a low, melodic sound that I swallowed with a kiss. The pace was different now.

    “Everything I told you is the truth. I have zero interest in a celebration, and I am whisking you away to my island for my birth-night.”“Even so, you have a bond with her, and she clearly still feels the pull of your scent.”“I’ve already made it clear. I don’t care about her anymore.”“I don’t believe you.”“While I was traveling through the European territories, I had a realization. Do you want to know who occupied my mind the entire time?”I remained silent. A part of me feared the answer.“You. You were the only one I could picture. The only soul I craved.”“You didn’t think of your brother?”“Alejandro crossed my mind occasionally, but you? You were a constant fever, twenty-four-seven. I couldn’t hunt, breathe, or exist without wondering what you were doing. The miles between us only made the truth sharper.”“What truth?” I asked, my voice barely a whisper.He watched my body lean toward his, heard the tremor in my chest, and pulled back. “I’m not sure I can shift into that conv

    Victor's head fell back against the cold stone wall, his breath hitching in a broken sob. "Teo, don't."Teo froze, his massive frame trembling with the effort of restraint. He stared down at Victor, his amber eyes clouded with a jagged mix of confusion and possessive heat. "Not like this. I thought

    "Alpha’s pride," Mateo grunted, the elevator humming as it climbed toward the Vargas Grand Casino's peak. "Olivia was... different. Shifters from the high-mountain packs don't just 'date.' They mate for blood and territory. I thought I’d found my anchor, the one to balance the chaos of the Vargas n

    "Are you serious right now?"Mateo's voice sliced through the hum of the Vargas Grand Casino's ventilation. He paced the plush carpet of the executive suite, eyes flashing a dangerous gold. "Most people make their pack at work. And the orphan angle? Really? You’d think a stray-turned-Alpha like you

    "You won't be wearing any," Mateo growled.The sheer dominance in his tone made the air in the kitchen feel heavy, charged with the scent of pine and raw power. I was too stunned by the sudden violence of the act to protest, my breath hitching as I realized the internal rules of this pack were far
