Leon

It hits me like a blade between the ribs. There was no warning. No vision. No scent I can name at first.

It just felt… wrong.

I am in my office when it happens. There are papers spread across my desk, the low hum of Luna Noir breathing through the walls like a living thing. Music from rehearsal thuds faintly below, dancers laughing, glasses clinking. Normal. Controlled.

Then my wolf slams into the front of my mind with a snarl so violent that my chair scrapes back as I stand.

Him.

The word isn’t spoken. It’s felt.

Edric.

My chest tightens, breath punching out of me like I’ve been struck. My heart stutters once, hard enough to hurt, then starts racing, blood roaring in my ears.

Danger. Not the abstract kind. Not the distant awareness I’ve grown used to around humans. This… this is immediate. Close even.

My hands curl into fists.

“Leon?”

I don’t answer. Someone is speaking to me, Agnes, maybe, or Paul, but their voices are underwater. Everything is underwater except the pull in my

  • The Alpha's Human Dancer (An Erotica)   10. Mixed Feelings

    LeonI just can't help myself. My wolf is pushing me to mark Edric and my body just can't control itself.When our dicks rub together, I forget myself and I just want to devour him. But then I ask myself, is this all I want from him? Is it just to satisfy my carnal desires? No. I know for a fact that he was meant to be with me in a deeper meaningful way.I kiss him savagely though and I even bite his lower lip and his blood in my mouth feels like honey. I want him and I can't help myself.I slowly lift his shirt and my arm slithers to one of his nipples and I press gently and I feel him squirm.“Leon, what… what are you doing?" I'm trying not to groan because I love how his skin feels on my fingers.Edric is like the best-smelling weighted mattress as he feels so good under me on the bed.I don't answer him as I want to feel his skin on me. I straddle him and in one move, I remove my shirt and then I tear his from his body and lay on him again.I thought that his skin felt good on my

  • The Alpha's Human Dancer (An Erotica)   9. Not Human

    EdricI thought this was how it would end… abuse from Marcus as he was used to.Marcus’s hand was iron around my wrist, his breath hot and familiar in the worst possible way, his voice low with the same poisonous calm he used to wear before things got bad. My heart was trying to claw its way out of my chest, every instinct screaming at me to run, but my feet wouldn’t move.I had frozen like I always used to. Stupid. Weak. Too slow.“Still running from me?” Marcus sneered, tightening his grip just enough to remind me he could. “You always were bad at standing your ground.”The city felt too big and too empty at the same time. Cars passed. People walked by. No one noticed. No one ever did. I tried to pull away but he yanked me back.Pain flared up my arm and that was when fear finally tipped into something sharper, panic, raw and choking. My mind scrambled uselessly. I thought of Luna Noir, of the shadows and the music and the way Leon’s eyes had burned into me when he warned me about m

  • The Alpha's Human Dancer (An Erotica)   7. Closed Doors

    EdricI don’t go back to Luna Noir.I tell myself that like it’s a promise, like if I repeat it often enough it will turn into something solid… something I can stand on when my knees threaten to give out.The sun is barely up when I leave the apartment, the city still yawning awake. Queens feels different in the morning. Less predatory. Less like it’s watching me. I pull my jacket tighter around myself and keep walking, the echo of music from Luna Noir still lodged somewhere under my skin, like a bruise that hasn’t surfaced yet.I shouldn’t miss it. I shouldn’t miss the stage, the heat, the way my body felt when it moved: loose, powerful and wanted. And I definitely shouldn’t miss him. Leon.The memory of his hands, too strong, too sure, burns through me before I shove it away. The taste of his lips on mine. I can still feel it. I focus on the pavement instead, on the cracks and oil stains and old gum flattened into the concrete.I am not going back.That decision feels right when I s

  • The Alpha's Human Dancer (An Erotica)   6. The Truth in the Shadows

    EdricI thought Leon had been exaggerating when he asked me why I let the ‘vampire’ touch me. I thought maybe it was a kink in the club.That was the first mistake.After the night he dragged me into that private room, after the bruising kiss, the way his hands shook like he was holding himself back from something far worse, I had tried to convince myself that it had all been theatre. A performance. A role he played as the owner of Luna Noir.When he said vampire, I had thought it was symbolic. A nickname. A metaphor for wealthy, predatory clients who fed on dancers’ desperation.I told myself that because the alternative was unthinkable. Unimaginable even.Tonight, I learned the truth.It happened after my shift ended. I had finished changing, my body still buzzing with leftover adrenaline, Leon nowhere in sight. That alone should have sent me straight out the door, but curiosity tugged at me. Or maybe it was denial. I wanted proof that I wasn’t losing my mind. I took a wrong turn on

  • The Alpha's Human Dancer (An Erotica)   5. The Wolf’s Hunger

    LeonThe night was already running hot.Luna Noir throbbed with its usual pulse, music vibrating through the obsidian walls, supernatural auras winding through the air like smoke, scents sharp and heavy with desire. My wolves worked the floor, the vampires stalked the balcony, and everyone knew their place.Except my wolf.Except tonight.Tonight, the pull inside my chest was a feral, living thing.Because he was here.Edric.Human. Soft. Breakable. Innocent to the point of infuriating.And still…Still he had my wolf pacing inside my skin like a caged storm, snarling every time someone even breathed too close to him. It made no sense. No human should have been able to affect an Alpha to this degree. But when Edric danced…I clenched my hands.Even the memory of it was enough to unravel the discipline I had built over centuries.And when he entered the main room tonight…Late, hair damp as if he had rushed, chest rising with nervous breaths….My wolf rose so fast inside me that I near
