Elena’s POV
I could hardly believe this was real. The yacht towered over the water, lights twinkling like a floating city. Music thumped through the decks, laughter spilling over from every direction There were bars, a mini-theater, a pool, and even a small arcade. I felt like I’d stepped into another world.
Philip grinned at me. “Ready to explore?”
“I… I think I need a map,” I said, wide-eyed.
“Don’t overthink it. Just follow me,” he said, grabbing my hand.
We hadn’t even reached the first bar when a man with sharp features waved at Philip. “Hey, didn’t expect to see you here. Is your Alpha okay with this little getaway?”
Philip shrugged and smirked. “Why ask him? We make our own rules.” Then he looked at me. “This is Elena. She’s my guest for the weekend.”
The man
