My pulse raced, torn between fear and something I couldn’t name.
“Back off,” I whispered, but he only watched me, gaze dark and unreadable. His nearness stole the space from my lungs, his presence too commanding to ignore.
He sniffed,slowly, deliberately, his mouth dangerously close to my neck, and then his hand slid up, gripping my waist with a firm possessiveness that stole my breath. I gasped when his fingers slipped beneath my skirt, the fabric gliding over my thighs like a tease of sin.
I tried to resist, to summon the anger that had always shielded me, but my body betrayed me with trembling breaths.
His words were low, a growl wrapped in temptation. “You belong with me, Serena.”
I froze, heart pounding, every instinct screaming to move but unable to. The authority in his voice, the certainty, made my resolve falter.
I wanted to deny it, to shout, to fight, but my silence gave him an answer I never intended.
I was cursed, or so they said. Wolfless. Worthless. A burden to my family and an outcast in the very pack I was born into.
Survival meant swallowing pride and chasing a job, anything to escape the whispers and the shame.
But fate had other plans.
Three Alphas. My bosses. All powerful. All possessive. All… mine.
I didn’t ask to be mated to them. I didn’t expect their touch, their obsession, or the twisted heat that ignited every time they looked at me like I was something they were dying to devour.
But behind their power were secrets, dark truths, painful scars, and haunted pasts I wasn’t ready for.
Now, everything, my fate, my wolf, my soul…rests in my hands.
But I must choose one Alpha.
Even if it breaks us all.
