"Alpha, where are you?" I ask. And suddenly he looks down at me. His eyes normal once again. I saw a flash of anger in the blue depths, along with desperate frustration. In one swift move, he was off me and pacing the floor of the cave. I instantly miss his heat and sat up in confusion. I called out, scared and disappointed in myself. "Have I done something?" My voice reveals my feeling of fear and I am ashamed to show fear to my Alpha. But if I had dissatisfied him, he would send me away, and I would be without an Alpha, drifting in the world, open for any male seeking release. No, I needed an Alpha. I needed his knot. I needed his scent and his strength. I needed his seed. He turned to look at me, his naked glory widening my eyes. He was muscular and beautiful, his body, a temple of the gods, but my eyes where fixed on his male sex. He was hairless, just as I was. I was sure all our species was down there. His manhood stood up at attention, his heavy seed sacks hanging low. He was big and thick, long and hard. His tip seeping seed, eager for me. But still, he stood far away, out of my reach. "My body pleases you." He stated. His voice sounded grave. I looked up at his face with some difficulty. "You are magnificent. The first male I have seen naked." He turned away. "My goddess has forbidden me to take your virginity." I squinted in confusion. "What goddess?" "The goddess of our Species. I am her beloved one and she speakes to me even in her endless sleep. And she has ordered me now, to give your virginity as a gift to my Beta." *Trigger Warning* This book contains rape, menage, violence and various other acts that are not for the weak of heart or for readers under the age of 18.

But the two of them resist acknowledging their hidden truths, and their forbidden connection, until ignoring it all becomes too perilous. *** Bren meets Madie during his first week at college, and he's certain he should have nothing to do with her. First of all, Madie has a boyfriend. And second of all, Madie's boyfriend radiates a toxicity that Bren only just escaped from growing up. But knowing what he should do doesn't help him at all. Madie might be completely entwined with her abusive boyfriend, but Bren quickly becomes determined to unravel her. But can Bren open Madie's eyes to the truth before it's too late? *** "Don't go back to being treated like you're not real." Madie's lips parted, and I couldn't read the expression on her face. But we were so close now. "You're real, Madie. Feel it." "I feel it," came her breathy reply. When it came to her, I was weak. My legs couldn't hold me anymore, and I slid down. Landing on my knees, I kneeled back against the bottom of the cold door, letting it cool my hot skin. "Good girl." The words were more of a pant; I could barely catch a breath with the way my heart was racing. But I had to tell her, talk to her. "Now, never forget it. Never forget the way you feel right now, Madie." **MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY** This story contains sensitive topics such as abuse, violence, and explicit sexual content.

Everyone who works within the New York Warriors organization knows that star player August Fletcher refuses to talk to most people...and especially team reporters. All except Quinn Castle, that is. Quinn doesn't know why the broody football player has singled her out, but she knows she doesn't like it-not when being around him and his hot gazes makes her feel like she might accidentally do something that risks her career.
