rest of the council are meeting in the conference room.”
    “Bad timing.”
    “We’ll have to continue this later.” Aiden’s shoulders sagged.
     “Do you want me to join you in council?”
    “No. I need to give them the good news, though. That should get them off my back. For now, you get that sexy ass into a shower and be ready for me to ravage you again later.” He stood and retrieved his boxers and pants.
    “Is that all I am to you?” I joked as I sat up on the desk.  “Your little plaything?”
    “No, that’s just one of the perks.” He stole one last kiss and headed for the door. “I won’t be long. I promise.”
    “You better not.”
    He walked out, passed Diana, and headed down the hallway. She stood in the doorway, and once Aiden had walked out of sight, turned to me and sneered. I sat proudly on top of Aiden’s desk, naked from the waist down, and crossed my legs.
    “You think you’re untouchable, don’t you?” Diana spat at me.
    “You’re treading a very thin line, lady.”
    “Tough words for a human. I could shred you right here.”
    “So do it. What are you waiting for? Oh, right… Aiden would have your head for that.”
    “Accidents happen.” An evil glint shone in her eye and a smile spread across her face.
    I wasn’t going to let her scare me. I glared back at her. “They do, don’t they? I’d feel terrible if my fist just accidentally found your face. Cut the crap. You don’t want me for an enemy.” As soon as I became Alpha Female, I planned to make her life hell.
    “Why, because you’re fucking the boss?” She rolled her eyes. “Oh yes, I heard. Half the pack heard you. You’re quite the little slut, aren’t you? Just walking into the boss’s office and screwing him as loud as you can for all to hear. Bet you feel like you’re something hot, don’t you?”
    I folded my arms in front of me.
    “Lemme tell you a little secret. No one wants a human mating with the Alpha. The council won’t allow it, and I won’t stand for it.”
    I smiled. “Well that’s just fine by me. I won’t remain a human for long.”
    She scoffed. “Not everyone survives the transition. There are ways to swing the odds either way.”
    “Are you threatening me?”
    “Why? Are you scared?” She sashayed toward me. Her smug expression sent my blood boiling.
    I gritted my teeth to stop myself from saying anything else. I knew what she was doing—trying to get me to snap—and she was dangerously close. I was no match for her yet, so I couldn’t challenge her to a fight; but once I transitioned, she would slowly and painfully eat every last word.
    “I’m going to tell you one last time.” Her voice went deadly quiet. “Leave Aiden and this pack… for your own safety.”
    I couldn’t help the shiver of fear that threatened to reveal itself. I turned away, hoping to keep it hidden and give off the vibe that she was not worth my attention. “Get it through your head. Aiden and I are already mates,” I said with as much conviction as I could muster.
    “You’ll never be his true mate.”
    Something slammed hard into the back of my head. Before I could register the pain, the world went dark and I felt myself freefalling into nothingness.
     
     

Chapter 4
     
     
    No hangover in the world could compare to the throbbing pain that I felt when I awoke. Aiden’s voice called out to me. I’m not sure how I managed to hear it over the fire alarm ringing in my ears.
    Groggy and very much disoriented, I cracked open my eyes and tried to focus. A thick screen of haze clouded my vision. Hanging over me was a tanned blob punctuated by two piercing black dots. I knew it was Aiden, though, and seeing him, even a blurry version of him, gave me that warm fuzzy feeling deep down in my belly. Everything would be okay as long as he was taking care of me.
    “Wake up, babe. C’mon. There you go. Open those eyes.” He sounded as if he were talking to me under water, but his voice worked magic,
