LOGINSONYA'S POV
The word hangs heavy in the air between us, making my nipples harden against my bra.
"Excuse me?"
Reign sets down his glass and walks toward me, slow and predatory, his presence overwhelming. "I'll pay off Derek's debt and guarantee his protection from the Rogue King. In exchange, you sign a contract agreeing to be mine."
"Yours?" I take a step back, my ass hitting the edge of his desk. "What does that even mean?"
"It means you move into my estate. You act as my mate in public. You fulfill all the duties of a Luna." He's close enough now that I have to cock my head back to look at him, his heat radiating through his suit. "And in private, you belong to me completely."
"That's insane."
"That's the deal."
"You can't just… I'm going to be your stepsister in three months!"
"Which makes it even more interesting, doesn't it?" His hand comes up, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear. "Besides, we both know you're wasted on Derek. He doesn't see you. Not the way I do."
"You don't even know me."
"Don't I?" His thumb traces my lower lip, pressing just enough to part them, and I hate how my body responds, how my wolf purrs at his touch, my pussy growing slick with arousal. "I know you've been in love with my brother for six years, Sonya. I know you hide it behind smiles and friendship because you're too afraid of rejection. I know you touch yourself at night thinking about him, wishing he'd choose you over girls like Brittany, fingering yourself while moaning his name."
My face flames with humiliation, but the image he paints makes my thighs press together. "You're an asshole."
"And you're aroused." His other hand settles on my hip, pulling me closer until my breasts brush his chest. "I can smell it, little omega. Your body knows what your mind refuses to accept. You don't want Derek. You want someone who sees you. Someone who wants you badly enough to burn the world down for you."
"And that's you?" I try to sound sarcastic, but my voice comes out breathy, my hands fisting in his shirt without thinking.
"That's me." His lips brush my ear, his hot breath making me shiver. "Sign the contract, Sonya. Save Derek. And let me show you what it's like to be properly worshipped."
I should say no right now.
This is crazy. Insane. Wrong in so many ways.
But Derek's face flashes in my mind. The panic in his voice. The way he said he was desperate.
Reign's hand slides down from my hip, cupping my ass through my jeans, squeezing firmly as he grinds his hard cock against my belly.
The thick length of him presses insistently, making my mouth water and my pussy ache. "Feel that? That's what you do to me, little omega."
Before I can protest, he spins me around, bending me over the desk with one strong hand on my back.
My cheek presses into the leather blotter, my ass lifting as he yanks my jeans and panties down to my thighs in one swift motion, exposing my dripping folds to the cool office air.
"Goddess," I gasp, but it turns into a moan when his fingers part my pussy lips, sliding through my slickness to circle my swollen clit.
"So wet for me already," he growls, his free hand palming his cock through his pants as he rubs the head against my ass cheek. He doesn't push inside, just teases, the hot tip dragging along my crack while his fingers plunge into my entrance, two thick digits curling to stroke my inner walls.
I buck against his hand, my wolf howling in my head as pleasure coils tight in my belly.
His thumb presses my clit, rubbing in firm circles while his fingers fuck me shallowly, stretching my pussy without giving me the full thrust I suddenly crave.
The wet sounds of my arousal fill the room, obscene and intoxicating.
“O..oh fuck… R-Reign….”
"That's it, little omega," he murmurs, leaning over me, his chest to my back, breath hot on my neck. "Come for me. Show me how much you need this, need me owning your body like the slut you're going to be."
The words push me over the edge. My pussy clenches around his fingers, gushing slick as I shatter, crying out his name while his cock throbs against my thigh.
He pulls his fingers free with a wet pop, bringing them to my lips. "Taste yourself."
I suck them clean obediently, the tangy flavor of my cum making my cheeks burn hotter.
"How long?" I whisper, still trembling from the orgasm.
"Six months."
"And after that?"
"After that, you're free to go. If you still want to." His smile is dark and confident as he fixes my clothes. "But you won't."
Goddess help me, I'm actually considering this.
"I need time to think."
"You have sixty seconds." He releases me, checking his watch. "After that, the offer expires, and Derek's on his own."
"That's not fair!"
"Life isn't fair, little omega. Now choose."
My hands are shaking. This is blackmail. Manipulation. I should tell him to go to hell.
But I don't, the aftershocks of pleasure still buzzing through me, the promise of more too tempting.
"Fine," I hear myself say. "I'll do it."
Reign's smile is pure victory, and pure sin. "Excellent choice."
SONYA'S POVLandon turns out to be surprisingly normal.He's funny, easy to talk to, and doesn't make me feel like prey the way Reign does. We run the trail at a comfortable pace, and he points out different landmarks, the pack training grounds, the northern border, the lake where they hold summer gatherings.But even as he shows me all of them, I can't stop thinking about what Reign said about punishing me. And I'd be lying if I said I didn't know exactly what he means.Fuck."So," Landon's voice interrupts my thoughts as we're cooling down, "how are you handling all this?""All what?""Living with Reign. The contract. The whole 'fake mate' situation." He gives me a sympathetic look. "I know my Alpha can be... intense.""That's one word for it."Landon laughs. "He's not as bad as he seems. Well, actually, he is. But he's got reasons.""Like what?""That's not my story to tell." We stop by the front steps, and he hands me a water bottle. "Just... give him a chance. Reign doesn't let
SONYA'S POVI barely sleep.Every time I close my eyes, I see Reign. Feel his hands on my skin. Hear his voice in my ear saying things that should scare me but instead make heat pool between my thighs, my pussy aching for his touch.I'm so screwed.At five a.m., I give up on sleep and decide to explore. The estate is a maze, but I eventually find my way to what looks like a gym. And of course, Reign's there.Shirtless.Hitting a punching bag with enough force to make the chain rattle.Sweet goddess.I should leave. Turn around and pretend I was never here.But I'm frozen, watching the way his muscles flex with each hit, the way sweat glints on his skin, the way those tattoos move like living things across his back and shoulders. His abs clench tight, leading down to the V of his hips disappearing into low-slung sweatpants that do nothing to hide the thick bulge of his cock straining against the fabric."Enjoying the show?" Reign asks without turning around.Shit."I was just… I could
SONYA'S POVReign's estate isn't a house. It's a freaking fortress.It has stone walls. Iron gates. Security cameras everywhere. The main building looks like someone crossed a modern mansion with a medieval castle and threw in a few million dollars for good measure."Oh shit," I breathe as the SUV pulls up the circular driveway."Like it?" Reign asks, watching my reaction with amusement."It's terrifying.""Good. That's the point." He opens his door and extends a hand to help me out. "Welcome to Steel Kraith territory, little omega."I ignore his hand and climb out myself, which makes him smirk. Asshole.The front doors open before we reach them, and a woman in her fifties with kind eyes and graying hair steps out."Alpha Reign," she greets warmly with a bow, then turns to me. "And you must be Sonya. I'm Mrs. Wren, head of the household staff.""Hi," I manage, feeling completely out of my depth."Mrs. Wren will show you to your room," Reign states. "Get settled. We'll have dinner at
REIGN'S POVSonya signs the contract with shaking hands.I watch every stroke of the pen, every hesitation, every moment she considers backing out. But she doesn't. Because she's loyal to a fault, even to someone who doesn't deserve her loyalty.Derek doesn't deserve shit from this woman.The moment she finishes signing, I lock the contract in my desk drawer. It's done. She's mine now. For six months, at least.Though I'm betting it'll be much longer than that."Congratulations," I tell her. "You're now mine.""For six months," she corrects quickly, and I almost smile at how she's already trying to maintain control."We'll see."The truth is, six months won't be enough. I already know that. I've known it since last night when I saw her hiding in those bushes, looking at Derek like he hung the fucking moon.She deserves better than pining after my idiot brother.She deserves someone who sees her. Who wants her. Who'll burn the world down before letting anyone hurt her.She deserves me.

SONYA'S POVI wake up to seventeen missed calls from Derek and a text that makes my stomach drop.‘Derek:’ We need to talk, Sonya. NOW. Come to the packhouse. Alone.It's seven in the morning. What could possibly be so urgent that…My phone rings. Derek's name flashes on the screen."Hello?" I answer, my voice rough with sleep."Sonya, thank goddess." Derek sounds panicked. Actually panicked. "Where are you?""Home? Where else would I be?" I sit up, pushing my red hair out of my face. "Derek, what's wrong?""I'm in trouble. Serious fucking trouble." I hear him moving, a door closing. "I need your help."My chest tightens. "What kind of trouble?""The kind that gets you killed if you don't fix it in the next forty-eight hours."Now I'm fully awake. "What did you do?""I can't explain over the phone. Please, Sonya. I know I don't deserve to ask, but you're the only person I can trust with this."The only person he can trust. Not Brittany. Not Parker, his best friend. Me.I should tell h
