Then he murmured, “He’s not used to people like you.” “People with lives? Or people who do not submit?” “People who challenge him without fear.” I looked ahead, watching the wind brush through the high trees. “Then he’s in for a very long marriage.” Alessandro smiled. “You know, if you ever get bored of tormenting him, I could use a good strategist.” I smiled faintly. “Tempting. But I think I still have some torment left in me.”

“Hugh, what’s going on?” “Pete, thanks for coming, I’m not sure if you have met Brother Andrew formally,” the two nodded at each other so Hugh continued, “ And this is Camron Kerr, head of Kerr Security.” The two men recognised each other and shook hands. A bemused look briefly crossed Pete’s face as the monk suggested going to the pack house to find somewhere more private. Brother Andrew led them to a small conference room where they wouldn’t be over heard, everyone grabbed a chair and Pete looked at Hugh expectantly.

She asks, linking her arm with mine. "Oh, hey! Yeah, sure. Lunch at the usual spot, right?" I respond. "Yep. Is everything ok? You look distracted?" "Yeah, I'm all good. Let’s go," I mumble back and turn around walking through the doors tothe cafeteria. "So, I hooked up with Bobby on the weekend," Chloe blurts out as we walked. I had to hold back a giggle, Bobby Enderson has been trying to get in Chloe's pants since she started cheerleading. He is the Alpha heir of the Riverview and has the same arrogance and cocky demeanour as most Alphas.

“Carter is in. The shipments will be arriving soon. I don’t know what you said to him but it worked. “ Of course, it fucking worked. I was the most powerful and dangerous man in New York. A lot of his actions were motivated by fear. I was unforgiving and everybody knew it. Carter was smart to accept my escorts, drinks, and deals. “Be ready for him and be careful. “ “What did you do? Apologize? “ “I don’t apologize to anyone. He was happy with the girls you sent and drinks. All I had to do was stroke his ego by telling him he has the best ammo and product in the business. “ “Okay. Where are you? I thought you would want to see this shipment for yourself.

"You're not mistaken, but remember who we're talking about. This is Thomas Morris. He's not one to initiate conversations. He's all about taking action. Doing. In his world, that's how things get accomplished. He's not your average guy, Hera. If you're looking for someone who communicates openly, Thomas isn't the right person for you. He's a man of action. He acts before he speaks, and you need to be prepared for that."

I snap. "You should quit your job," he insists. Had this night gone differently, I might have been confused by his sudden interest in my life.

Your desire is not in your work. I can sense-" "You're crazy. Whoever you are, I've decided you're not my Alpha, but some sick thing in my head that this party created. Tomorrow, I'm going to figure it out, and I'm going to ruin the reputation of this stupid party..."

Well, I just met him so technically I haven't had that much interaction with him. He was just so gorgeous and manly and hot and perfect that one look at him and I could already feel myself becoming wet. Only that he’s a bit grumpy and strict. He’s the Alpha King after all, he’s got four thrones to rule, and that must be what made him a grumpy lion. I prayed first to the moon goddess before I entered the room of Luna Mercylle. Sandra, one of my co-servants, said that Luna Mercylle is cruel and the worst Luna that has ever lived.

He’s dark, dangerous, and devastatingly rugged, with slicked-back dark hair and full, stern lips. It’s Trey Parker. VSU’s powerhouse quarterback. The guy Shawn hates more than anyone else on this planet because he refuses to share the spotlight. Trey is notorious for being cold, keeping entirely to himself, and intimidating anyone who dares get too close. People are genuinely terrified of him. And at the same time, obsessed with him. As I stare at him, a reckless, insane plan starts forming in my head. “What’s up, Goody Two-Shoes?” Chris’s mocking voice calls. “Is your lie starting to catch up with you?”

Just a text message with no context, no explanation, just words that made my entire body go cold: Look into Theo Mercer instead.

“Arianna is an only child, you have the wrong woman.” “I am Theodore Der Mandant,” he said, looking at Viktor who tensed. The man’s family was well known, and we knew that killing him would end up getting us in trouble.
