For close to three years, Aria watched the girls that scurried out of Alpha Liam’s bed every morning. She’d roll her eyes

and gossip about them behind their backs, but deep down, she desperately wanted to be one of them.

Well, that wasn’t completely true.

She didn’t want to be another notch on Alpha Liam’s post, another flushed girl running out of his room in the morning.

She wanted to be his girl — the only one in his bed. And even if she didn’t want to be just another hookup, sometimes

“Yes, Alpha?”

He just stared at her for a moment before sighing. “Nevermind, I shouldn’t trouble you. This is a man’s issue.”
