night at the party…” Katrina struggled to continue as the heat grew between her legs. Ever since that night, she’d kept track of the Alpha, followed him on social media, cried herself to sleep knowing she’d be alone forever. Watching him from afar through a looking glass while he’d dated woman after woman had crushed her heart.
    “Your body knows mine, little wolf.” Jax leaned in to sniff her neck, his tongue darted out along the hollow of her throat. He growled as she turned her head in submission, giving him access. “We can’t ignore this. No fucking way. Do you know why I’m Alpha?”
    “You’re strong.” Katrina ached in desire as he slid the tip of his tongue along her skin. Her chest heaved for breath; she couldn’t resist him. Her body lit on fire as his lips pressed to her neck.
    “Raw instinct. Knowing when to trust what your gut is telling you. And do you know what it tells me about you?”
    “What?” she moaned. Her skin broke out in gooseflesh, his warm breath on her ear.
    “When I wake up with your sweet body against mine, you tasting of my flesh, calling my name…that is as real as it gets. But at the same time, I cannot ignore what you’ve done. Accusing me of forcing a mating? Tell me, why does a wolf do such a thing?” Jax whispered. “I should hate you, despise you for what you’ve done. But I don’t. No, I believe this is a puzzle. None of it makes sense right now, but I will have answers. I always get what I want, Katrina.”
    “I had to protect you. You and Tristan have never got along, you know that. I needed you to leave me alone, and he misunderstood what I told him. But I swear to you, I never meant to hurt…” She shuddered in arousal as he took her earlobe between his teeth. Katrina cursed her body as she arched up into him. “Ah…Jax.”
    “This is why I’m Alpha. Instinct tells me I can’t ignore this. There’s something between us, a reason we’re brought together. You and I have things to work out, and you’re staying with me for as long as it takes.”
    “Please, Jax. I’m not good for you,” she protested. Her heart fluttered as Jax raised his head to pin her with his gaze.
    “What secrets are you keeping? Your lips may lie.” His knees pressed her legs open, and he settled between them. “Hmm…your body tells me the truth.”
    “I want to tell you, but…please…” Katrina tilted her hips upward, his hardened dick prodded her belly.
    “Tell me you’ll stay, help me find who did this to you…to me…my pack.”
    Katrina registered the desperation in his words. The desire to be with Jax was overwhelming. Any rational arguments had been slayed by the primal attraction that sizzled over her skin. Her spiraling thoughts justified reasons to stay within the arms of her Alpha. Jax had unlimited resources at his disposal to research the dark society. If they went to New Orleans, it could buy them the time they needed to discover a way to destroy them. Before she had a chance to think any further about the implications, her heart had won the argument.
    “Yes.” She closed her eyes, the word barely audible on her lips.
    As his mouth captured hers, her wolf cried in celebration. Her tongue swept against his as she reveled in the moment she’d dreamed about for years. Never had she imagined it would be under these circumstances. Rescued and enchanted by the Alpha, Katrina lost herself in his touch. She wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him toward her.
    “What is it about you?” Jax asked, sucking her bottom lip.
    “I’m sorry…” Katrina gasped as he kissed her again, this time with a passion that speared through her from her head to her toes.
    Consumed by lust, she was barely aware of the footsteps coming down the hallway. As Jax tore his lips from hers and shoved her to the back of the bed, she panted for air, her chest heaving.
    “Stay back,” he warned.
    A creak of the door was all the warning she had before it flew open,
