They were amber. Bright, golden amber, almost glowing in the afternoon sunlight. And his pupils—for just a fraction of a second, I could have sworn they contracted into vertical slits like a cat’s, like a—I blinked, and they were dark brown and normal again. What the hell?“I—” My voice came out shaky. My hand had landed on his chest to catch myself, and through the expensive fabric I could feel his heart pounding faster than mine, faster than any healthy person’s should. His fingers tightened on my shoulders, then he released me abruptly and stepped back like I’d burned him.“You’re bleeding.”“What?” I looked down at my hands. In the chaos of almost falling, I’d gotten a paper cut from the folder’s edge. A thin line of red across my index finger.“It’s nothing,” I said quickly, embarrassed. “Just a tiny cut—”But Adrian was already guiding me back to the chair. His hand at my elbow should’ve felt platonic, but it didn’t.Heat climbed up my neck. He was my boss, I barely knew him.S

Does it matter?”“Yes!”He considered me, then pulled out one document.“I haven’t decided, so in two weeks I’m going to hold an auction with you as the star of the show.” My gasp was audible. He can’t mean that. The Alpha king, head of all the Alphas in three territories made that illegal years ago and put a stop to barbarians who did that.“You can’t sell people it’s illegal, if the Alpha king finds out—“ I started to say.“The Alpha king isn’t here! This is MY pack!” I flinched at the sudden burst.“But . . . all the pack Alphas answer to the Alpha king.” I couldn’t bring myself to stop talking. Not when it might be the last time I have a say.“I will answer to no one.” He slammed his hands on his desk the veins in his neck and head bulging. Gone was the handsome Alpha, I saw how ugly he was now, both in and out.“You better learn how to obey, soon.” He continued calming himself.“And if I don’t?”“Then you’ll learn what happens to disobedient slaves.” He moved toward the door. “Yo

Maria immediately bowed deeper, recognizing the direct order from her Luna. “Yes, Luna Thornwood.”She led several other omegas past my father, who stood there fuming but ultimately powerless against my mother’s direct command.“You’re completely unreasonable!” he shouted at my mother’s back, but his voice lacked real conviction.Ultimately, facing my mother’s furious Luna presence, his own resolve faltered completely.He didn’t dare openly confront her when she was like this, not with pack hierarchy so clearly on her side.Soon, several omegas arrived carrying armfuls of exquisite boxes and bags, designer labels visible on nearly every item.They deposited everything at Selene’s feet in a pile that represented months of generosity and affection.My mother pointed at the scattered items, her voice cold as winter. “Take your things and leave our pack house. You’re no longer welcome here.”Selene’s eyes instantly filled with tears, her lower lip trembling as she looked around at all of

I paused at the sound of it, fingers still closed around the strap of my bag, and listened.I could picture her without looking, her head tilted at exactly the right angle, her expression arranged into something gentle and sympathetic, her whole body positioned to suggest she was nothing but kind and supportive.She was speaking to Caden.I zipped my bag and picked it up and left the room.In the hallway I passed close enough to catch the tail end of what she was saying, something about how difficult this must be for him, how she understood, how she had always been there, and fantasizing about having their own child.I kept walking ignoringShe noticed me as I passed the open doorway and her expression flickered, just briefly, before the performance snapped back into place. She gave me the particular smile she reserved for moments when she thought she was winning.I smiled back, which seemed to confuse her.Caden left the room shortly after, and I heard Vivian's voice shift the moment

"Where the hell is that wench!" At the sound of her step mother's voice booming through the hall, Lana's eyes cracked open and she threw back her bed covers with great swiftness before flying out of the bed. She was a light sleeper but after working late into the night in the kitchen last night, she had been really tired. So tired she could barely even move a limb. Footsteps drew close to the door and just as she slipped her feet into her old worn out flats, the door swung open, baring an utterly displeased woman. Lana just knew she was about to get sent on what would be the beginning of thousands of errands for that day. For some reason, her step mother and stepsisters hated her and her brother so much that they tried their best to make their lives miserable. On some days Lana wondered if they might actually go that far and kill them. Mara shoved her for no reason when she walked by, and as Lana fell, she cried out, Mara shook her head and laughed.
