"Oh, fuck," I said aloud, grabbing the sheets harder. His hands found my breasts and he squeezed them slowly, his mouth trailing down until he was blowing warm air against me. He shifted my pants to the side, fingers rubbing slow circles over my clit before pressing a soft kiss there. Then his tongue rolled over it, unhurried, like he had all night. "Damien," I whispered. He didn't stop. Didn't even look up. Just kept going, steady and deliberate, until my fingers twisted deeper into the sheets and my whole body forgot how to be still. Mia Calloway was running out of options fast. Her mother was going to die if she didn't do something, and when she heard about the club, she didn't think twice. She thought it was only going to be that once. Only to walk into her lecture hall the next morning and come face to face with the same man. He was her professor. Now he wants everything, her time, her body, her mind. And every time she tries to walk away, she's pulled in deeper. The closer she gets, the more she realizes the club, the money, the way he chose her, none of it was random. Someone wanted her in his world.

Damien pulled my pants down and lifted me onto the bathroom sink, spreading my legs apart as his fingers found my clit, rubbing slow, deliberate circles that made my breath hitch. "Fuck." His eyes dragged over me as he rubbed faster "You're so beautiful." His other hand rolled my shirt up, freeing my breasts, and his mouth closed over my nipple, sucking hard while his fingers pushed inside me. I moaned, grabbing his hair, pulling him closer instead of pushing him away. "Damien…" His name came out like a prayer. "Say my name again." He curled his fingers deeper, his thumb still working my clit, watching my face. "Louder." I did. And I hated how much I meant it. Serena was rejected on her eighteenth birthday by Alpha Amit, in front of the entire pack, and she ran, straight into a new city, a new pack, and a new life she never expected. That's where she met Damien. Someone mysterious, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. What started as an accidental rescue outside the university turned into something neither of them could control, stolen moments, locked doors, and a hunger that kept pulling them back together no matter how hard she fought it. But Damien is hiding something. Something about who Serena really is, why her eyes glow gold when she loses control, and why every powerful Alpha in the region is suddenly hunting for her. Then Amit arrives at her door, claiming the rejection was never real, that he did it to protect her, that she needs to come home. Now Serena is caught between the Alpha who shattered her and the Alpha who is consuming her, and the secret buried in her bloodline is about to destroy everything. Because some wolves were never meant to be owned. They were meant to rule.
