The Female Alpha's Human Mate
My muscles ache, buzzing with the strain of a future I’m about to seize by the throat.
I peel off my clothes—too tight, too formal—and let them drop in a careless heap.
The shower tiles are cold under my feet when I step in, and the moment the hot water rains over me, the world fades into steam and silence.
My eyes flutter shut.
Heat loosens the knots in my shoulders.
For a few sacred seconds, I stop being the future Alpha, the strategist, the threat.
I’m just… breathing.
The steam thickens.
The water drowns out the world.
