Ten years ago, werewolf Alpha Salvatore took a risk driven by desperation—he borrowed money from a Lycan, Solomon Romano and put up the pack lands as collateral. Now the debt is due, and Solomon demands Salvatore’s youngest daughter, Lucia as compensation. As an Omega, Lucia knows she is basically useless to her pack, so she might as well agree. She soon has second thoughts, though. Solomon is fearsome, and he’s free to do as he likes with Lucia. Solomon knows his race’s reputation, and he even admits some of it is deserved. But he’d rather kill himself than let his innocent mate’s light go out. It won’t be easy, but he knows, his mate worth it more than anyone else in the world..

Chapter 1

Prologue

The subtle lighting in the office in his house cast long shadows that danced across the room. Burning wood popped and hissed in the fireplace, and the scent from burning firewood brought back memories from yesteryear.

Restless, Solomon finally stood up. The warmth of the fire beckoned, and seeing no reason to deny himself, he strode across the floor.

As he drew nearer, the heat wrapped around his body, and he sighed, relieved. Bending, he held his hands out toward the crackling fire. Once his fingers warmed, he straightened and turned.

With his back to the fire, he carelessly brushed a long strand of hair behind his ear. He’d opened the blinds when he’d entered his office in a hopeless bid for daylight, not that it did much good. Good thing his eyesight was better than a human’s.

The day was dreary, rainy, and overcast. He hated this time of the year. No matter how many layers of clothes he wore, the endless chill seeped in. He much preferred heat and humidity, sunny skies and warmth. His kind detested the cold.

Still staring out of the ground floor window, he took notice of the foot traffic on the street, darting here and there like worker bees. Paranormals mixed with humans—there was no hiding now. As with anything else, there were those who thought the species should be separated and those who didn’t. Werewolves had made their presence known sometime in the 1700s. Other paranormal beings had come out not long after.

Once the panic had died down, humans responded fairly well. For the most part, anyhow. There were still squabbles, of course. Humans didn’t seem to know how to do anything else. Fortunately they tended to leave paranormals alone. More often than not, they were too busy fighting among themselves.

What the humans were calling the Great War was in full swing. Solomon brushed a microscopic piece of fuzz from his shirt, shaking his head. Humans and their wars. Would they never learn? But there was no denying it afforded him the opportunity to invest in their conflicts, and he never passed up an opportunity to add to earn more.

A soft knock at his office door drew his attention. He inhaled, and the scent of hair cream, freshly pressed clothes, and human teased his senses.

“Enter,” Solomon called.

Renato Wiltshire, his clerk, opened the office door. He started toward the desk but paused when he saw no one sitting behind it.

Confident of where he would find his boss, he glanced at the fireplace. “Sir, there’s an Alpha Theodore Salvatore of the Blackwood Creek Pack here to see you.”

Solomon pursed his lips. “Interesting.”

“I’ll say, sir.” Renato bobbed his head. “It must be catastrophic to send an Alpha werewolf to your doorstep.”

“Only one way to find out.” As much as he hated leaving the roaring fire, Solomon crossed the floor, his footsteps muffled by the oriental rugs, and returned to his desk.

“Give it twenty minutes, then escort him back. Also make sure to offer him a beverage while he waits.”

“He’s not going to like having to wait, sir.”

“I’m well aware.” Solomon picked up his absurdly expensive tailored suit coat and slipped it on. “That’s the point.”

“Yes, sir.” Renato smirked, then wiped any emotions off his face, going back to the usual pleasant blankness he showed prospective clients. “Twenty minutes.”

“Thank you.” Renato settled into his comfortable desk chair. This was no casual meeting. He intended to throw the Alpha off-balance by having him wait, but the ploy would also show exactly who held the power in the room.

Twenty minutes later to the second, his efficient assistant escorted Alpha Salvatore inside. Solomon stood and acknowledged the Alpha with a slight bob of his head. There was no need for him to bare his throat since he wasn’t another werewolf, not that he would anyhow afterall the dragons were at the top of the shifter food chain. He also did not m offer his hand. Werewolves tended to be snarly about who touched them without permission, the silly creatures.

Alpha Solomon acknowledged the greeting and returned it, although his head bob was much more grandiose.

“Alpha Theodore Salvatore of the Blackwood Creek Pack, I bid you welcome. Please, join me.”

“Thank you.” Alpha Salvatore crossed the room, his gait hurried. “I appreciate you seeing me without the courtesy of having an appointment.”

“Yes, well, circumstances are usually dire when people come to me, and often they don’t have time to make one. Have a seat.” Solomon gestured at the plush wine-colored leather chairs in front of his desk.

He made a point of standing. Solomon would not sit first. Having another paranormal look up to him was another way to reinforce who was more commanding.

Alpha Salvatore gritted his teeth. Ah yes, there was nothing better than power games first thing in the morning.

As the struggle for control continued, Solomon took note of his visitor. Like most werewolves, the Alpha was a large male with muscles. Unless the wolf was an Omega, they were also hairy, above average in height, and had dark hair and eyes.

Solomon ensured his features remained blank, even as he smirked inside. Compared with a werewolf, he have less muscles. While the werewolf was bulky, Solomon was lean and mean. The only thing he and the Alpha had in common was their dark hair.

“Thank you.” Alpha Salvatore lowered himself into one of the seats.

“Now, please, tell me how I may be of service.” Satisfied his point had been made, Solomon sat behind his desk. Just because the atmosphere was tense didn’t mean manners had to be left outside the door.

“I need a loan.”

“Most people do when they come to me.” Precise and to the point. He liked that.

Solomon opened a desk drawer and withdrew several forms. “How much?”

Alpha Salvatore quoted a sum, and Solomon lifted a shapely eyebrow. Surprising him wasn’t easy.

“I see.” He pushed the sheets of paper across the desk. “The forms are standard. Fill them out so I have an idea of what you plan to put up as collateral for such a massive loan.”

“Collateral.” Alpha Salvatore tugged at his collar in what Solomon assumed was an effort to loosen the suffocating restriction from his tie. “I, ah, was hoping not to put anything up.”

Solomon swallowed the laugh bubbling up. “And I was hoping to spend this winter on a warm, sunny beach—neither of which is going to happen, unfortunately. If you want the loan, you put up collateral. That’s the only way I do business.”

Alpha Salvatore scowled. “Do you know who I am? The connections I have? The fact that my pack is one of the largest around, that should be sufficient.”

“It isn’t.” Solomon coolly gazed across the desk. “Alpha, you need the money. I have it to give. Paranormals only come to me as a last resort, so I’m sure you’ve tried to obtain the currency elsewhere, but failed. Am I right?”

Alpha Salvatore didn’t speak, but his scowl said enough. So did the sudden spike in tension. The acidic scent of bone-deep worry filled Solomon’s nostrils. He struggled to suppress the sneeze that threatened.

“I thought so. If I loan you the money, you will put up collateral,” Solomon continued. Arrogant werewolf. Did the Alpha really think Solomon would loan him the sum he quoted with nothing more than his signature? “And from the amount you requested, I’m going to demand every property you own.”

“You can’t do that!” Alpha Salvatore’s claws peeked out as he gripped the chair arms. “If I default—”

“I’ll take everything you own, kick your pack off your land, and sell it to recoup my losses.” Solomon shrugged. “That’s the price of doing business, my dear Alpha. Take the money or not. It matters not to me.”

Alpha Salvatore growled softly. “You really are a cold-blooded bastard, aren’t you?”

Solomon faced the Alpha. His eyes shifted into a brilliant purple, with a slitted black pupil. His fangs, which appeared normal in human form, lengthened. His jaw become long. His fingernails grew to deadly sharp claws as he partially shifted.

“Indeed I am.” Menace, deep and thick, vibrated in his voice. “Something you may wish to keep in mind, considering I can snap your neck with little to no thought.” Solomon unleashed his power, which seeped through the room, blanketing everything. A smothered gasp came from the outer office where Renato’s desk was located. It wasn’t the first time his assistant experienced such, and no doubt would not be the last.

Alpha Salvatore straightened in his chair and snarled as his own power rose to meet Solomon’s. Sweat beaded and rolled down the Alpha’s face. The flames in the lanterns flickered, and the air shimmered.

But as quickly as Alpha Salvatore’s power rose, it dropped like a puppet with its strings cut. The Alpha collapsed back in the chair, pale and shivering.

“By all the wolf gods,” Alpha Salvatore whispered, horror finely etched upon his features.

Solomon, still composed as ever, finally allowed the smirk that had been lurking to cross his face. “That was unwise, Alpha. You may be powerful, but you’re nothing compared to me. I was centuries old before you were ever born. Test me again and the next time, you won’t walk out of here on your own two feet.”

Alpha Salvatore gulped.

“Now, are you filling out those papers or are you leaving my office empty-handed?”

“F-filling out the papers.” Fear rolled off the Alpha werewolf.

“Excellent.” Solomon leaned back in his chair and returned to his wholly human form, pleased he’d made his point. “Now, make sure to fill out the paperwork properly, please.”

Chapter One
TEN YEARS LATER....“Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday, happy birthday. Happy birthday to me.” Lucia sighed heavily at her reflection in the mirror.Today, according to pack law, Lucia officially became an adult. Her 18th birthday party was going strong downstairs, and here she was hiding in her bathroom. How pathetic could she get. Unable to stand the unhappiness in her eyes any longer, she turned away.Lucia was a monumental disappointment in every conceivable way. Although none of her family ever said so, she still can feel it. She couldn’t help but know. Her father, Alpha Theodore Salvatore, already had four pups who were daughters. What he desperately needed was a male pup—a male Alpha pup.But what she got was another female, and an Omega to boot.Things might not have been so bad if Lucia’s special talent—a gift all Omegas were born with—had been something useful. But no, what Lucia had ended up with was the ability to identify metals, stones, and mine

Chapter Two
Solomon grabbed the reins of his Lycan rampaging inside of him, desperately trying to control the thrashing creature. The fuck! His Lycan wanted the Omega, so badly, which was quite shocking even for him. His kind usually paired up with another Lycan. He never heard of something like this. Sometimes Lycans had sex with other race but just for fun. Their kind tended to get violent that was why they didn’t often mate with other race because they would never be able to handle their temperamental nature.And Solomon himself preferred short-term connections where it was understood there were no commitments. He’d never been interested in mating. But now suddenly his Lycan was interested in that Omega… and wanted to claim her as his own.Solomon was stunned. But the hazel-eyed Omega standing outside almost accomplished what rarely happened with their kind. The wolf hadn’t even been trying—and that was the frightening thing.He jerked his gaze away from the young wolf. The last thing he neede

Chapter Three
YOU what?” Lucia shouted.She grabbed the back of the chair in front of her father’s desk, her knees suddenly weak. What a perfect ending to an otherwise miserable birthday party. After their unexpected guest left, everyone else also cleared out and she’d been called to her father’s office. “How many more times do I have to say it?”“A couple more times, apparently, because I still can’t believe what I’m hearing, Father.” Lucia heard the words—they just didn’t make sense. Okay, strike that. They made sense, but she didn’t want to believe them. Mated… to that Lycan who was there last night—Solomon Romano. She couldn’t fathom it.Alpha Salvatore scowled at Lucia. “Careful.”She heard the warning, and those weak knees of her trembled, but why should she be careful when her father so obviously had not been? “So you’re telling me you took a loan ten years ago, right? From a Lycan who is basically a loan shark.” How messed-up was that? “Yes.” Alpha Salvatore paced back and forth behind hi

Chapter Four
SOLOMON dropped Renato off at his home with a quick reminder that the new contract could be drawn up tomorrow. He knew his friend well, though, and wouldn’t be surprised to see him with the newly amended contract in hand first thing in the morning.Taking the long way back, Solomon let his mind wander. Showing up at Alpha Salvatore’s pack house had been a calculated risk, one he knew would cause an uproar. He was fine with that. This could have been handled privately, but the Alpha werewolf had forced his hand by refusing to answer his calls and emails for days now. Like that would make all his problem go away. And the money he loaned would miraculously cleared one day. Ha?! Who does he think he is. Besides, he was a Lycan. Subtle was not his preferred method.What he hadn’t expected though, was finding a mate there. He shook his head. A werewolf and an Omega. He pressed harder on the gas pedal of his newest car. He truly loved the car, especially since only two had been produced. H

Chapter Five
THE bleak morning fit ’Lucia's mood. Snow-laden clouds blocked the sun, and the wind shrieked outside the window. Meanwhile she was snuggled in bed, not wanting to rise. Today was the day, the day everything changed. Maybe if she stayed in bed and ignored it, it wouldn’t happen.A knock on her door told her that wasn’t likely.“One moment! I’m not even up yet. Jeez.”Damn, she hadn’t even gotten out of bed yet and already it was starting. Actually, it started last night. Mandy must’ve told her sisters, or they’d been eavesdropping, which wasn’t hard to do with werewolves’ sensitive hearing. Each sister had stopped by to check on her. Her mother was upset, but mostly because Solomon was a lycan and not a werewolf.She yanked on a pair of jeans she’d thrown over the back of her desk chair and padded over to the door. A discreet sniff informed her it was her father. Lovely, just what she wanted to deal with right off the bat, and her without her coffee too.Running her hand through her

Chapter Six
SOLOMON opened the door and stepped into the office. After he shrugged off his coat, he folded it over his arm. He hadn’t been sure what to expect when he arrived, but the hazel-eyed Omega staring at him defiantly hadn’t been it.What a lovely color those eyes were—more golden than green. Odd color for a werewolf, though, but what did he know? He didn’t know that much about the inner workings of a werewolf pack either, but he’d heard Omegas were… well, submissive wasn’t exactly the word he was looking for. Maybe passive was a better description, although the heated glance from his soon-to-be mate didn’t fall into that category. He also wasn’t expecting the scent of desire in the air that, if he wasn’t mistaken, came from Lucia.Alpha Salvatore rose from behind his desk. “Welcome. Please have a seat. Would you like anything to drink?”“No, thank you.” Did Alpha Salvatore really think this was a social call?Solomon walked farther into the office and seated himself next to Lucia. Renato

Chapter Seven
“I wasn’t serious. Besides, it would upset Lucia.”“You could say that,” Lucia said.“Also didn’t figure you would be comfortable there alone,” Solomon said to Renato.Lucia shook her head. “Couldn’t you have just invited him without the threat?”“Where’s the fun in that?” Solomon shrugged. “Well, to be fair, I wouldn’t kill anyone just because they upset my clerk, but they don’t have to know that. Now you? That’s a different matter.”“Good to know. Anyway, the park is right over there,” Lucia said, pointing. “There’s a bench not far from the entrance. It’s a lovely place I like to go when I need a few minutes alone.”“Excellent,” Solomon said, pulling his coat tighter as the three of them entered the park. He followed Lucia to the bench, and with a quick nod, Renato wandered off. For once, Solomon found himself at a loss for words. There were so many things he wanted to say, but he didn’t know where to begin.Lucia sat, then tugged up the collar of her winter jacket. “Okay, I’m going

Chapter Eight
LUCIA shook her head, smiling. Nice to know her soon-to-be mate was a master at understatements too.The kiss completely threw her off guard. It hadn’t surprised her when Solomon kissed her. In fact, she’d been expecting it. What she hadn’t expected was her response to his kisses. That kiss had been unlike anything she’d ever experienced before, and her body reacted immediately.Pleasure swamped her, making her want more. Lucia had kissed other guys before, but this was the first time she’d ever lost control to the point that where she was hadn’t mattered. If it hadn’t been for Renato, who knows what would’ve happened.After getting the stink eye from angry moms, she and Solomon decided to walk around. Since they were practically strangers, Lucia had assumed their conversation would be stilted. Thankfully that's not the case.Instead of being condescending, Solomon was easy to talk to. Buried under a chilly composure, there was a sense of humor—granted, a very dry sense of humor—that

Chapter Nine
Turning, she drifted toward the stairs, her mind for once pleasantly blank. She licked her lips. She could still taste Solomon. There was no denying he definitely knew how to kiss. Lucia stopped, resting her hand on the banister, as her brain began to race.Yeah, did he ever know how to kiss. The pleasant blankness faded as more insidious thoughts occurred. An ugly ribbon of jealousy uncurled within her. How many lovers had Solomon had through the years? Obviously several, if he was to go by that kiss. Since no one seemed to be able to pin down Solomon’s age, it stood to reason he’d had many lovers throughout those years. Lucia suddenly tightened her fist on the railing. Her mind racing. How could she compete with that?Thanks to her somewhat sheltered life, teenagers probably had more experience than her. Porn could only get her so far. She might not have had sex, but she somehow understood how it worked. But understanding and experiencing it were two different things. What if she c
