Semua Bab The Alpha’s Obsession: His Luna, His Prize: Bab 1 - Bab 10

"You're late, Rhea. The Alpha doesn't care for excuses, and he cares even less for those who can't keep time.""The transit from the Ravenfall pack-run drifted behind schedule, Margaret. I assume the Luna Guard Academy taught you that some things are beyond a beta’s control?""Just get inside. Use the side pedestrian entrance. Don’t wait for the main gates to cycle."I didn't argue. I moved through the narrow iron gap as the locks clicked with a heavy, metallic finality. Before me sat the Wolfe Pack Estate, a sprawling monolith of glass and white stone that looked more like an ice fortress than a home. It pulsed with a raw, territorial energy that made the hair on my arms stand up.A man who looked like he’d been carved out of a granite cliff intercepted me on the driveway. He was massive, his suit jacket straining against shoulders that clearly belonged to a high-ranking enforcer."I have an appointment with Alpha Dominic Wolfe. Rhea Callahan, reporting for the head trainer position.

Don’t bother sending a driver, Dominic. I’ll find my own way to the estate tomorrow.""Suit yourself. Logan will finalize the security clearance and have the NDA ready for your signature at the front gate.""Fine. Is there anything else, or can I go now?""Nothing else, Miss Callahan. You have your instructions. I expect you at the rink by eight.""Then I’ll see you tomorrow, Alpha.""Until tomorrow, Rhea.""Why are you looking at me like that, Charlotte? And please, for the love of the Moon, take that green slime off your face.""I'm looking at you like this because you walked into this apartment smelling like an Alpha's private gym and looking like you just survived a lightning strike. Now, spill. Did the great Dominic Wolfe hire you to train his sister or not?""He did. But it’s... complicated.""Complicated? Rhea, we’ve been through the Luna Guard Academy together. We’ve dealt with snarling pups, power-tripping Betas, and more locker room ego than a pro hockey team. What could pos

"Good afternoon, Rhea Callahan. You were not here when I conducted the final security briefing for the expansion territory, which is a lapse I find quite bothersome.""I was finishing my clearance at the Ravenfall station, Vivienne. I assume a pack coordinator of your standing understands the bureaucracy of the US Expansion borders?""I am Vivienne Laurent. I oversee the Wolfe Estate, the logistics, and the staff. My purpose is to ensure the Alpha’s focus remains on the Blackport territory and the pro-hockey trials. If you have a need, a grievance, or a request, you bring it to me. I am on call twenty-four hours a day. Do not bother Alpha Dominic with trivialities.""Understood, Vivienne. I’ll keep my 'trivialities' to myself and my focus on the ice.""Good. Here is the folder containing your non-disclosure agreement, your territorial conduct contract, and the training schedule. Your primary role is to get Lydia Wolfe ready for the elite trials. Her tutors handle the academics; you ha

"To our health, Rhea.""To our health. And to a successful training season. I apologize for the delay. Navigating the corridors of this estate is a task in itself.""Don’t apologize. It is the prerogative of a beautiful woman to make an entrance, especially one who intends to shake up my household. Do you find the vintage to your liking?""It’s excellent. Though, to be honest, I think I could drink battery acid right now and not notice the difference. My nerves are still back in the hallway.""Is it the house that rattles you, or the host?""Let's talk about Lydia, Dominic. She’s a gifted pup, but she’s carrying a weight no six-year-old should. What happened to your brother and his mate? The files mentioned a territory accident.""They were killed a year ago. A rogue ambush on the border of Ravenfall. They didn't stand a chance.""I’m so sorry. I lost my own mother to a rogue raid when I was young. I know what that kind of violence does to a child's spirit. It leaves a scar that doesn

"You think you can just mock me?" I snarled.I didn't wait for an answer. I released his weight and threw my arms around his corded neck, slamming my hips into his with a force that sent a ripple through the water. I kissed him like I was trying to devour him, my tongue demanding entry, my teeth sinking into his lower lip until the metallic tang of blood filled my mouth. He jerked against me, a low, dangerous sound vibrating in his chest."So, the little rabbit wants to play rough," he growled against my mouth.His hand shot out, grabbing the neckline of my suit. With one sharp, effortless tug, he shredded the fabric as if it were tissue paper. I gasped as the cool water hit my bare skin, the scraps of my suit floating away like dead leaves. He didn't stop. He hooked his fingers into the leg holes, the rough pull against my sex sending a jolt of pure, white-hot need straight to my core.He was a brute, a force of nature, and as he reached back to haul me against him by my backside, I
