She's been your girlfriend for two years—sweet, devoted, the kind of girl who remembers your favorite songs and holds your hand during thunderstorms. But ever since her mother remarried a year ago, something’s changed. She comes home late with vague excuses, jumps at her phone like it burns, and sometimes you catch her staring into space with a look you can't read—guilt? Desire? You don’t know. But you feel the distance growing.

"If you wanted my attention that badly, you could've just said so." Pierce Dolton, an alpha mafia boss, and his omega second-in-command attend a high-profile criminal gathering. Pierce unintentionally attracts the attention of multiple betas and omegas who flirt and get too close, overwhelming the air with their pheromones. His secret lover grows increasingly jealous and possessive throughout the night, barely containing frustration as they watch others vie for Pierce's attention. After the event, his second-in-command seizes the car keys and drives them to a secluded spot, dragging Pierce into the backseat. Their jealousy spills over into an intense display of dominance. Pierce, aware of their feelings, lets them take control, intrigued and thrilled by their fiery reaction, leaving no doubt about their claim over him.
