A Piece Of Him

~Valerie~The silver lighter in my pocket feels like it weighs fifty pounds. Every time I move, the cold metal digs into my thigh, almost hitting the exact spot where Evander’s hand had been the night before. It’s like a reminder that I’m carrying a piece of him on me, a trophy I never asked for but can’t seem to throw away.I look toward the bar, where Rikky is working. She’s across the room, slamming a tray of shots onto a table for a group of patched members. Her movements are stiff, her shoulders hunched up to her ears. Even from here, I can smell the hurt coming off her, a sharp, sour scent that cuts through the thick smell of grease and hops. She doesn’t look at me. She’s acting like I’ve already betrayed her, and the worst part is, she isn’t entirely wrong.To leave the lighter on the table would have been a public rejection, but to keep it? Keeping it is an admission. It’s accepting the claim he just staked in front of the whole room.The environment in the pub has shifted. It

I Am A Traitor

~Valerie~ The hallway feels miles long. As I move past the restrooms and deeper into the back of the building, the neon pulse of the Reno Pub fades behind me. The air grows still, losing the warmth of the crowd and replaced by a sharp, biting chill that seeps through the walls. I reach the heavy iron-bound door at the very end of the corridor, the cellar. It isn't underground, but it feels like a tomb. I push it open, the hinges screaming in a way that sets my teeth on edge. Inside, it is freezing. The space smells of damp stone, old wood, and the sharp, expensive tang of aging wine stored in the dark. I feel the silver lighter in my pocket, the cold metal digging into my thigh like a brand. My fingers curl around it, my knuckles white. I am a traitor. Down the hall, Alpha Ronan is sitting at the bar, his storm-gray eyes probably tracking the seconds on the clock. He has called me a slut, his voice a serrated blade in my ear, and yet here I am, walking into the dark to meet the ma

Caught Between Two Alphas

~Valerie~The hallway feels narrower than it did five minutes ago. I walk like a ghost, my feet moving on autopilot while my mind remains trapped in that cold, dark cellar. My fingers shake as I reach up, obsessively adjusting the silk scarf. I check the knot, making sure the fabric hasn't shifted, terrified that the world will see the evidence of my betrayal.My skin is still tingling where Evander’s tongue dragged across it, a cold, wet streak that sits in sharp, agonizing contrast to the throbbing heat of Ronan’s bruise. One man has marked me with his teeth, and the other has claimed me with his scent. I am caught between two alphas, and I feel like I am being shredded in the middle.I push back into the main bar area, the blast of heat and noise hitting me like a punch. People are dancing, bikers are slamming back drafts, and the jukebox is screaming a country rock anthem about bad choices. To them, it is just another night in Reno. To me, I am carrying the weight of a war that ha

A Vow

~Ronan~The silence in my office is heavy, and suffocating, it feels like a hand against my throat. Below, the floorboards vibrate with the muffled roar of the club, the music, the laughter, the sound of men who don't have the weight of a dying legacy on their shoulders.I sit behind my desk, staring at my hands. My knuckles are white, my fingers still tingling from the memory of her skin. In the hallway, when I grip her chin, I feel the heat radiating off her. I feel the way her pulse jumps under my thumb, like a plea that makes my wolf pace behind its bars, snarling for a release I can't give.Valerie.She is supposed to be the one part of my life that remains clean. After her father dies, I make a vow. I tell myself I will be the guardian, the man who checks their finances and pats her on the head, never the man who looks at her and sees a feast.But that part of me is dying.I close my eyes and lean back, but it is a mistake. The moment the world goes dark, the scent hits me again

A Brand

~Valerie~The afternoon sun is a mockery. It streams through my bathroom window, bright and cheerful, while I stand shivering in front of the mirror. I lean in close, my breath fogging the glass as I peel back the edge of the silk scarf.The bruise has deepened. What was a mild, red mark yesterday is now a heavy, plum-colored stain, a violent masterpiece of Ronan’s teeth. It looks like a brand. No amount of concealer is going to hide this, the skin is too tender, the color too wild.I reach for a black turtleneck. The fabric is thin, but the collar is high enough to scrape against my jaw. I feel like I am choking, but it is the only way to walk out of this house without my mother’s eyes boring a hole through me.I feel exhausted, yet my nerves are vibrating like a live wire. My brain is a broken record, playing Ronan’s cold rejection in the hallway on loop, followed immediately by the memory of Evander’s wet, terrifying tongue in the cellar. I am waiting for a sentence. I expect to wa

The Nerves Of Those Men

~Valerie~I storm through the bar, and every click of my heels against the tiles feels like I’m stabbing the ground. My teeth are clenched so tight my jaw hurts, and I can feel my nose flaring with every breath. I don’t look at the bikers or the regulars. I just stare straight ahead, cursing Ronanand Evander under my breath.The nerve of those men.I push through the back exit door, letting it slam shut with a loud bang that echoes down the hall. I march to the staff lockers, my movements jerky and pissed off. I yank my locker open, shove my bag inside, and slam the door. I dig the key out of the lock and shove it into the back pocket of my jeans, my fingers shaking from the adrenaline and the pure rage.I know this is all Ronan’s doing. He’s the one trying to keep me under a leash. Treating me like a child that I’m not. Who does he think he is, changing my job just because he’s leaving town? It’s a run. It’s business. It has absolutely nothing to do with me serving drinks. He’s trea

I Tilt My Ass Toward His Face

~Valerie~I can already picture Ronan in that seat.It’s a massive, high-backed throne of dark leather, scuffed at the edges and smelling of the road. Even empty, it carries his weight. I can see him there, his stormy eyes tracking my every move, that cold, unreadable expression that makes my pulse spike, his large frame filling up the seat until there’s no room for anything else. The power in this room isn't just in the title, it’s in the ghost of him.I walk up to the desk, the tiles cold beneath my heels, and my hand trembles as I reach for the back of the chair. I pull it out slowly. It’s heavy. I imagine him watching me, his jaw set as I step between his spread legs. In my head, he’s solid, his knees bracketing my hips. I arch my back, feeling the heat of his gaze as I tilt my ass toward his face and lower myself onto his thighs.The leather is cool against my skin, but in the fantasy, he’s a furnace.I lean back, letting my spine press against the backrest, letting my head fall

There’s No One To Stop Me

~Valerie~The air in the hallway is heavy, but the moment I touch the handle to the Vice President’s office, my skin starts to feel tight again. It’s that same crawling, electric hum from the cellar, vibrating just beneath the surface of my flesh. I swallow hard, my throat dry and clicking. I find the key, slide it into the lock, and the moment the bolt gives way, I step inside and slam the door shut.I don’t leave it to chance. I turn the key, locking myself in, and shove the heavy brass ring deep into my pocket.Just like Ronan’s lair, this room is a trap of scent. But where Ronan’s office smelled like a cold forest and old leather, Evander’s is different. It’s sharper. It’s the scent of expensive bourbon, clove cigarettes, and that metallic, dangerous spice that seems to radiate off his skin. It’s a smell that doesn't just fill the room, it stains it.My eyes immediately dart to the couch in the corner. My heart skips a beat as I look at the dark, plush fabric. I can still see him

The Secret I’m Hiding

~Valerie~I walk down the stairs, my legs feeling heavy and unsteady. My body is still reacting to what I just did, still oozing from that release in the offices upstairs. I can feel the dampness against my skin, a constant reminder of how I just lost control. I’m clutching the sweeping brush and the rag in my hands, my fingers wrapped tight around the wooden handle as if it’s the only thing keeping me from floating away. Every step I take down into the quiet hallway feels like I’m drowning deeper, and deeper into the secret I’m hiding.I reach the bottom of the stairs and head toward the supply rail. I return the brush and the rag exactly where I picked them from, making sure they’re lined up just right. I don’t want anyone having a reason to complain about my work. I spend a moment smoothing down my turtleneck and wiping my palms on my shorts, trying my best to make sure my body doesn’t give me away. I check my reflection in the glass of the dark window, adjusting my hair and biting

My Body Is Hot

~Valerie~I wake up, and the first thing I notice is that the sheets feel like sandpaper against my skin. Every tiny thread in the fabric feels sharp, grating against me like it’s trying to peel my skin off. My body is hot, not just a normal fever, but a deep, rolling heat that coils in the pit of my stomach. I feel sick, my head spinning as I stare at the ceiling."What the hell," I murmur, my voice sounding thick and strange in the quiet room.I try to sit up, looking around my bedroom, but the movement makes everything worse. Even the air moving across my skin feels like it’s too much. The feeling of the blankets bunched around my waist burns me, making my skin prickle with a sensation I can't describe. I need to get out of these clothes. I need to get away from these sheets.I stand up, my legs feeling like they’re made of steel, and stagger into the bathroom. I don’t even bother turning on the light. I just shrug off my nightie, letting it fall in a heap on the tiles, and step in
