CALEB'S POVThe two arrogant, untouchable thorns in my side at the elite Alpha Academy, lounging in Louie’s modest wooden booth as if they owned the place.Evander swirled a glass of water, a sickeningly smug smirk plastered across his handsome face. Lysander leaned back, his arms crossed over his chest, his dark eyes gleaming with predatory amusement.Evander chuckled, a low, grating sound. "Who would have thought? A star student, a high-and-mighty Alpha from the elite academy, degrading himself as a pathetic little waiter in a dingy grease-trap.""Careful, Evander," Lysander added smoothly, though his voice dripped with condescension. "At school, he struts around like a god walking among mortals. So proud. So untouchable. But look at him now... dripping in cheap dairy, bowing his head for pocket change."I felt a low, dangerous snarl rumble deep in my chest. "Shut your mouths," I hissed, stepping away from the mess. "I work for my living. I'm not that kind of person, and you know it

CALEB'S POVVictoria's heels struck the hardwood floor in quick succession as she hurried toward us, her eyes wide with disbelief."Augustus!" she exclaimed, grabbing his forearm. "What on earth are you doing?"The pressure on my wrists disappeared. I immediately lowered my arms and took two careful steps back, rubbing the soreness from my shoulders. My heartbeat was still pounding from the sudden fight.Victoria looked from me to Augustus and back again."Caleb," she demanded. "Why were you fighting Augustus?""I wasn't trying to fight him," I answered, still catching my breath. "He pointed a gun at me.""I thought he was an intruder... your lover" Augustus replied evenly, though his sharp gray eyes never left me. "He turned around and attacked before I could identify him... plus why is he walking half-dressed in your house Victoria?""I attacked because someone put a gun to my head, am I supposed to just gonna wait for you to pull the trigger?" I shot back.For a brief second, silen

EVANDER'S POVI took one slow step toward Caleb.The damp air inside the locker room carried the lingering scent of chlorine and polished wood. Around us, every conversation had died. Dozens of eyes darted between the three of us, waiting for someone to make the first move.I released my alpha pheromones expecting to bring Caleb into his knees for submission but Caleb just tense... but different kind of tense, the kind that his own pheromones react with mine.Lysander, Caleb and my pheromones should clash with it hit each other... but for some reason, it mixes. I use my enigma aura but Caleb didn't retreat... that alone irritated me more than I cared to admit.For years, all it took was a few words to make everyone lower their head and walk away. Now Caleb stood there, shoulders squared, meeting my stare without a trace of hesitation."When did you grow a spine?" I asked with a mocking smile.He folded his arms across his chest. "About the same time I stopped caring what you think."T

CALEB'S POVThe cold water burned my throat as I gulped it down, a futile attempt to douse the fire of resentment smoldering in my gut.I had showered for twenty minutes, scrubbing at my skin as if I could wash away the filth of the entire house, but the scent of Victoria’s cheap perfume and the phantom echo of Augustus’s gravelly voice still clung to the air.I set the glass down on the granite counter with a sharp clack. My pajamas felt like a second skin, clinging to my damp body. I turned, ready to retreat to the sanctuary of the basement, when the rhythmic thud-thud of footsteps caught my attention.Victoria appeared at the bottom of the staircase. She looked disheveled... her hair was a wild, static, charged mane, and her bathrobe was cinched haphazardly around her waist, barely concealing the fact that she was still flushed and damp with sweat.She smelled like sex and expensive musk. She stopped when she saw me, her eyes darting to my face. She didn’t look embarrassed; she loo
