“So, let me get this straight, all of you are alpha’s in your pack but then here, you’re the alpha?”

Grayson chuckles as he settles me on his lap, his arm wrapping possessively around my waist. “That’s right,” he

says, his voice low and teasing. “But don’t let it go to your head. You’re still mine.” His fingers trace lazy circles on my hip, and I can feel the heat of his body even through my clothes.

The others are doing some rounds while I’m left with Grayson and Kade and some other alphas who look as feral and powerful as them too.

What the hell? How come I didn’t know such kind of things existed?

Kade leans against the wall, his arms crossed, watching us with a sharp gaze. “What? You didn’t tell her anything even if you’re willing to risk all of us just to save her?”

I glance at him, feeling a knot tighten in my stomach. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Grayson’s grip on me tightens, his chin resting on my shoulder. “Ignore him,” he murmurs, his breath warm against my neck. “Kade’s just pissed because he doesn’t like sharing.”

The other alphas in the room exchange looks, their expressions unreadable but tense. One of them, a tall guy with piercing green eyes, steps forward. “She’s a hybrid, Grayson. You know what that means. She’s a risk.”

Grayson growls low in his throat, his fingers curling into my side. “She’s mine. End of discussion.”

What are they talking about?” I whisper, turning to Grayson.

He presses a kiss to my temple, but his jaw is tight. “Nothing you need to worry about,” he says, though his tone doesn’t convince me.

Kade pushes off the wall, his eyes narrowing. “She’s not just a risk to us, Grayson. She’s a risk to herself. You think the other packs won’t come for her?”
