Instead, his teeth grazed my ear. “You don’t belong here,” he murmured like it was something sweet, a secret just for me. He licked my ear before he bit me, not hard enough to pierce my skin and complete the bond, and enough to leave me wanting.

“This pack is mine,” he snarled. “So, stay in your fucking lane.”

Istoodinfrontofthe bed we’d spent hours fucking in, telling myself not to move even though I was still naked. Kai sat back against the headboard, his legs crossed, face flushed, as he kept a firm hand on Caspian’s thigh as Caspian held him.

I hadn’t realised how much I needed to see Caspian until he finally left the retiring room, his face a storm of rage.

Sin had a quiet conversation with him while Kai just silently glared at me.

And now it was time for me to go. My heat had finally subsided enough that I could think clearly, even though the bite that Kai and I shared was still driving me crazy. I wanted to leap on him so badly, but he was staring at Caspian like he was expecting something.

My clothes were shredded thanks to Caspian, but I still had my spare uniform in my trolley outside the room. The security cameras must have picked up that I'd been inside the room for almost the whole day, and I couldn’t avoid them when I finally left. I needed to find a way to get my clothes on and get out of the Spa without it being suspicious. I was still surprised no one had come to find me. There were no clocks in the room, but the sun had already set. I thought Lucielle would’ve at least tried looking for me.

I needed to get through the door as quickly as possible. If they said anything about going back into bed with them, I was screwed. From the outside, they’d treated me like scum, but inside I was thrilled at finally being fulfilled for the first time in my life.

I hovered near the door, not sure how to say goodbye since we’d fucked each other raw and I’d suddenly bitten someone, even though I still didn’t have a clue what was really going on with my body.

I needed time to research why I had suddenly presented, and what I was supposed to do with my life now.

Sin slipped on a white shirt as he padded across the floor towards a chair on my left.

He was even more stunning than I realised. It was the perfect moment to grab my clothes from the pile at my feet and pull them back on, but I was too mesmerised by him. The shirt didn’t hide the hundreds of white scars dancing across his body, rippling as he moved.

I couldn’t take my eyes off of him, and it was only the rumbling growl from Caspian that made me stay focused instead of dragging me back into a heat wave where I begged Sin to fuck me as well. Because it was already trembling and building inside me again.

I needed to go home. The reason I was so desperate to get to my bed, stuffed with soft pillows, vibrant throws, and my art supplies was obvious. Even though the temporary nest Kai had built around us looked so similar to my flat, it wasn’t mine.

Sin lifted a pair of black trousers from a folded pile on a plush chair, pulling out his wallet. He gave me an empty look which rattled me, considering how gentle he’d been when we were fucking.

“I apologise for our behaviour. We can be quite erratic during Kai’s heat,” he said as he walked over to me.

My brows shot up as I looked at him, trying to work out if he was being serious.

“Um, I don’t think erratic is the right word for what’s happened.”

Kai barked out a laugh and crawled to the edge of the bed on all fours, conjuring more images of what we could do together if I climbed back in. He must have felt my pulse of desire, as his lips twisted again, still glaring at me.

“That is true.” Sin nodded. “Despite that, I’d like to ask if you would remain with us for the duration of Kai’s heat.” By the time he reached me, he was holding out a white business card. “I think you understand why.”

I reached for the card with trembling fingers, and he cupped my hand instead.

Scent match.My mind whispered, but I shook it away, even though my body had been crying for it since I stepped into the room.

“I have to get back to work,” I said, looking up at him with wide eyes. He’d never left the bed when I was awake, so I didn’t notice how tall he was until now.

Sin pressed the card into my hand, curling my fingers around it.

“Yeah,” Kai snapped. “I bet you fucking do. How many other alphas are you going to be spreading your legs for as soon as you leave the room?”

I flinched back. It only took a second, but as my fingers closed around the card, realisation plunged into me. I took the card, bile building in my stomach, creeping up to my throat as I met his eyes, and I saw he was completely serious.

“You…You think I’m a host…?” I asked, all my whirring anxiety suddenly quiet.

I couldn’t quite believe what I’d heard. My gaze danced between Sin and Caspian, but they weren’t giving anything more away.

“That’s your job, isn’t it? Fucking people for money?” Caspian growled. “We don’t give a shit if you’re a host or my mother sent you. Whatever the fuck it is, you got the dick you wanted, so just get out.”
