The Alpha’s Forbidden Coyote Mate
"With respect, ma’am, I’d like to apologize. This was my first time in Falls Quaker, and Maryelle offered to show me around. We lost track of time, but it won’t happen again."
The words hang in the air. Mom’s eyes flash, but Phantom’s calm doesn’t break. His restraint is magnetic, his confidence addictive, and I feel the sparks between them even as my pulse races.
Dad gestures toward the table. "Join us for dinner, Phantom. There’s a lot we should discuss."
He nods.
We sit. The table feels too long, the plates too pristine. Mom’s fork clinks against porcelain, each sound deliberate, a reminder of control. Phantom sits opposite her, posture relaxed but eyes storm‑dark, watching, calculating.
