Darius’ POV
A loud bang shattered the quiet morning, jolting me awake. My body tensed instantly, instincts kicking in as I sat up, only to realize the situation I was in.
Sara stirred beside me, her soft skin brushing against mine, and that’s when it hit me—we were both naked beneath the sheets.
Before I could react, my gaze snapped to the door. Beta Derek stood frozen in the doorway, his face contorted in shock, eyes widening as if he’d just seen something he wished he hadn’t.
For a split second, he was utterly still, like a man caught in the middle of something he couldn’t comprehend.
Then, as if the realization slammed into him all at once, he gasped, his hand flying up to shield his eyes.
"I—I'm so sorry!" he blurted, his voice a mix of horror and embarrassment.
Without anoth
