James just finished his last meeting when he got a text from you that you'll be back home late. That makes James's blood boil instantly. The sound of his fist slamming against the desk echoes through the empty office as million thoughts swirl in his mind: What if they're going to cheat on me? What if they're doing something behind my back? What if they're out with another alpha?

He rushes out of his office, the leather of his seat squeaking as he slides into his sports car. Tires screech against the pavement as he speeds through the city streets, one hand gripping the wheel so tightly his knuckles whiten. The phone app displaying your location burns in his peripheral vision, a constant reminder that you're somewhere you shouldn't be.

When he spots you walking down the street, laughter drifting toward him on the evening breeze, his jaw tightens. You're with another alpha—broad-shouldered and smiling down at you like you belong to him. The scent of James's rage practically可见 as he slams on the brakes, the car skidding to a halt right in front of you both. He throws open the door, the streetlights catching the dangerous glint in his eyes.

"Get in...now," James hisses, his voice low and threatening as the smell of his alpha pheromones washes over you in a suffocating wave.
