"You think you’re walking away clean?" Finn grabbed a rough towel and scrubbed his jaw, only succeeding in streaking the red paint across his bronze skin. "You’re the one who drew first blood, Cruz. Typical.""Lies. Pure fiction. You’ve been poking at me since we were pups. It was your hobby. Or your calling."His smirk was pure Alpha. "It was. That’s the job description for the brother's best friend. Didn't you get the memo?"I let out a jagged breath. "We have enough tension to power the Miami Ice Dome for a season.""Can't wait to bleed it out.""You need a shower first," I said."You too." He clamped his hand around my wrist. His thumb traced the pulse point on my skin, and the world shriveled down to the two of us. Heat slammed into my chest. My neck burned."Since you marked me, you’re the one scrubbing it off.""And what about me?" I shot back."Don't sweat it. I’m lathering you up, too." He leaned in, his mouth ghosting against my ear. "Every single inch." His hot breath sent

"You're going to suffer for every season you spent taunting me, Finn," Val promised, his voice a low, jagged rasp.He climbed onto the silk sheets, dressed only in one of Finn’s oversized team jerseys. The fabric swamped his frame, but Finn’s eyes tracked the hem with a predator's focus. Finn’s cock was a rigid line against his stomach, thumping with a pulse that matched the frantic beat of his heart."Is this the part where you draw blood?" Finn asked, his voice strained.Val reached down, his fingers wrapping around the thick, pulsing length. He pouted, leaning close enough that his breath fanned Finn's skin. "Looks like you’re already in pain, Reyes.""Fuck me," Finn groaned. Val leaned further, his tongue darting out to lick the bead of heat at the crown. Finn’s hips jerked against the restraints. A low, needy sound vibrated in his chest. "If I were as vicious as you, I'd bring you to the cliff and let you hang there all night.""Lucky for you, I'm not a monster. I wouldn't have s

The heavy scent of kin-blood and ocean salt saturated the foyer. Val Cruz forced his shoulders to drop, his quiet fire flickering beneath the surface as he watched the familiar physical traits between the newcomers and Finn Reyes. He should have picked up on the genetic connection the exact moment she breached the perimeter defenses. Why hadn't his wolf scented it? Because Finn was a premier athlete in the professional league, a dominant alpha who likely granted entry to dozens of prospects. Yet, during his entire occupancy at the Reyes Oceanfront Villa, not a single stray omega or beta had crossed the threshold.Finn settled back onto his heels, extending a massive, scarred hand toward the younger male wolf. "Good to have you in our territory, Tyler.""Likewise, Reyes," Tyler Brooks responded. He gripped the alpha’s palm. Standing shoulder to shoulder, the structural contrast was stark. Tyler was tall, remarkably built, and possessed the easygoing aura of an apex hunter, but he lacke

"I suspect their wolves have descended to the lower level," Finn stated, navigating toward the heavy oak door that led to the subterranean floor of the villa. Hearing the low murmur of their vocalizations, he followed the acoustic trail straight toward the singular sanctuary he had personally mapped and constructed. Tyler trailed closely behind his flank. Rounding the structural stone corner, Finn discovered Isabella lounging with her legs crossed on the thick rug, sorting through a deck of tactical cards and shifting board games, while Val stood adjacent, inspecting the preserved physical media collection. Attempting a relaxed, dominant posture, Finn asked, "Uncovered anything functional within the archives?"Val rotated at the sound of the alpha’s voice, and Finn's chest experienced a sudden, intense pressure at the sheer softness sweeping across the omega's features. "These specific matches," Val murmured, gesturing to the vintage league reels. "They document all my preferred histo

"The operational modifier is 'previously,' Tyler. My skates haven't made contact with the frozen surface in... an absolute eternity.""Since the structural impact that broke his division run," Finn stated firmly, forcing Val's sharp gaze to snap directly to his. "Tomorrow, our wolves are going to navigate the surface with extreme caution together, correct, Val?"The omega offered a slow nod, his throat clearing as he redirected his focus toward Isabella. "Are there any pack contacts still occupying this sector whom you intend to interface with during the leave?""Yeah, a minimal number. I intend to introduce Tyler to my primary childhood ally, Tawny. Our communication remains fully active.""That tracks as an excellent variable. Will you initiate contact with your father during the stay?" Val inquired, his brow furrowing with polite pack concern.Without a single micro-expression of hesitation, Isabella stated, "Oh, that meeting is absolutely guaranteed."She threw a rapid, calculated
