The Alpha's Hardest Game
Jake’s grip on her chin didn't just loosen—his hand was violently repelled by the sheer force of her aura.
The True Alpha, a predator who had never met an equal in his own territory, reeled backward. His combat boots scraped harshly against the hardwood floor as he took half a step back, his massive chest heaving as his own aura shattered into pieces. His eyes were wide, the molten gold freezing into an expression of pure, unadulterated shock. He stared at her as if a ghost had just materialized across the mahogany wood. He had felt it—an energy that was older, heavier, and structurally superior to his own inherited crown.
