For exactly one breath, I’m a blank slate.
I only exist where our bodies touch, lapping Jin’s rock-steady dominance and letting him shield me from all things bad, trusting that the eye of the storm will hold me down forever.
Then I exhale and get face-smacked with the truth and the ticking clock.
For a monster like me?
There’s no such thing as home.
Wait for the signal, she said.
The only signal I needed was Reese’s heartbeat, roaring over comms.
We hit the property like we’ve planned this mission for months, finally grateful for the training we never wanted.
Drop. Choke. Kill.
I lost track of how many Redfangs we took down.
Lost track of everything after Reese’s ragged whisper.
“They have her in the room.”
Now my knuckles are slicked with blood and my memory’s fuzzy on what went down before I snatched my mate into my arms.
I thought awakening was intense—hormone rushes and a week-long hard-on after a two-second kiss.
Serafina didn’t just hot-wire my instincts.
She stole both sets of keys.
I fixate on her surging pulse. The piece of golden hair clinging to the sweat on her forehead. The maddening rips in her princess skirt.
And her scent—
Her cakey lemon perfume is hidden under smoke and the greasy lust of other fucking alphas.
I’d tear through the wall, but her firm softness leaves me helpless to move. The snap in my soul says I’m finally where I’m meant to be.
Doesn’t matter what the Triad schemes.
All I have to do is be strong enough to protect her.
“You’re okay.” I don’t know if I’m asking a question or making a promise.
Serafina doesn’t respond.
Lemon butter, she melts. I tuck my chin above her crown.
I need to erase the scents. Make her feel protected. Let her know she’s in good hands, strong enough to keep her safe.
She fits so perfectly. Feels so soft.
How could she belong to anyone else?
I stroke her spine. She sinks into me until all I can think about is sinking into her—teeth and cock, knot and soul.
My fingers slip beneath her ash-streaked golden hair. Nothing’s more natural than drawing her close, until I brush the back of her neck.
