Chapter 1

He woke drenched in sweat. The room was dark except for the faint silver wash of moonlight slipping through the blinds. His heart pounded as if he’d just run miles through the forest and his hand shot to his forearm on instinct. A mark glowed there. A crescent shaped brand, faint but pulsing beneath the skin. No way. “What is it?” the woman laying beside him murmured, her voice thick with sleep. “You’re shaking.” He forced his breathing to steady. “Nothing. Go back to sleep.” She settled again with a small sigh and within seconds her breathing evened out. He lay back, shutting his eyes as he went back to sleep. Somewhere across the city of Manhattan, in a narrow apartment above a noisy street, a human man jolted awake in the same sweat. His jaw throbbed as if he had clenched it too hard in his sleep. His chest ached and the sheets were twisted around his legs. He sat up, confused. He had dreamed of a man. A big man with eyes like molten gold in the shadow. ———

Noah’s pov “I’m fine, Mum!” I tugged at the collar of my shirt, trying to stop her fussing while she fussed anyway. She squinted at me, her hands on my chest as if she could measure my heartbeat with her palms. “Are you sure you had enough to eat? I can pack you those pancakes.” She turned to my father, who was standing at the door’s entrance. “Louis, get me those containers I packed, quick!” “Mum, listen—I ate enough! I’m fine!” I kissed her cheek, soft and quick, hoping it would quiet her down. “I’ll be late for work if you don’t let me go.” I love my parents. Always have. But Sandra… she was getting ridiculous. Babying me at twenty four? Really? I’m a grown man. “Let the boy go, Sandra. You’re spoiling him too much,” Dad said gently, tugging her along. “Will you come for dinner?” “Mum, I just slept over!” She waved me off, giving me that knowing little smirk that always made me laugh. “Hmph. I’m making my special potluck stew—your favorite. See you at dinner baby.” She tapp

Xander’s pov I had to turn fully, the moon’s pull thrumming through my veins like fire as I sprinted through the city in order to meet up and hijacked a car when I was close to them. If anyone was going to kill my livestock… it would be me. “No, we didn’t call no car. Go the fuck away. This is our turf,” one snarled, stepping closer, his knife catching the dim streetlight. I put off the car’s engine and snagged the car door open, stepping out and letting them feel my full presence before I even took a single step toward them. Stupid rogues. I could smell their fear, thick and cloying, the scent of adrenaline and wet asphalt. The one with the knife raised it, his hand trembling slightly. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” I said, my voice low, vibrating with authority, pushing the Alpha aura towards them. “Fuck. Let’s go, Dan,” the other muttered, shoving him back. They turned and fled, the echo of their hurried footsteps swallowed by the night. I glanced back at th

Noah’s pov I didn’t know how it started. Maybe it was the danger I had just escaped. Maybe it was the way the huge man with the gold eyes had stepped out of the shadows like something carved from the night itself. Cold eyes, controlled power with a voice that felt like it wrapped around my spine. All I knew was that when I stepped into my apartment after talking with Vanessa, my neighbor and best friend, I had locked the door behind me. My hands were shaking. And I was so hard. It made no sense. With a groan, I pushed aside the thought, stripped and made my way to the bathroom. Maybe cold water would help. I needed to wash away the grime of the night, to try and clear my head. I stood under the cold shower but it did nothing to calm my body down and I knew I had to give myself relief one way or the other. My hand moved to my throbbing erection, my fingers wrapping around the shaft. I bit my lip, trying to stifle a moan as I began to stroke myself. I close my

Xander’s pov Disgust. That was the first thing I felt after that night. Disgust at him……Disgust at myself. Watching my mate pleasure himself like some needy human boy should have repulsed me. Instead, I had joined him. I had lost control and let the bond twist my body into wanting what I should never want. I had come harder than I had in years. The shame burned so I called Helena and she arrived within the hour, like she always did. Helena had never denied me. She is a tall, lethal, insatiable wolf who understood hunger and never questioned mine. I took her to bed and buried myself in her until dawn. It should have cleansed me. It didn’t. No matter how many times I drove into her, no matter how she clawed at my back and begged for more, it didn’t erase the image of indigo eyes staring into the camera as if he could see me through it. Helena finally slept, satisfied…….I didn’t. —- I had tried to kill the stupid human again this week. That is the part that burn
