eminence in the shadow

Ashley was once the strongest warrior, the most gifted healer, and the future Luna. But everything changed the day she was kidnapped. When rogues took her, she reached out to her mate, Alpha Jace—only to be met with a cold “contact later” while he stayed by Carina’s side, his childhood friend. “Even your Alpha doesn’t care if you live or die,” the rogue sneered. Ashley escaped on her own—but lost her wolf, Amy. Then came the cruelest truth: she was never the mate. Just a pawn. A stand-in for Carina. Ashley thought she was doomed to live in Carina’s shadow. Until the Lycan King arrived—and took her away.

Tristan is an alpha, strong and silent, with control over everything around him, he only screws omegas, everyone knows that, he is a perfectionist, everyone knows that, Dylan Harper is the only assistant he tolerates, everyone knows that, but what everyone doesn’t know is Tristan is the Alpha under Dylan’s sheets. Dylan is just a beta, kind and invisible. When they’re forced together by work, tension builds between them, but Dylan knows his place. Alphas don’t look at betas like him. There’s no room for dreams or hope. But after waking up one day with an Alpha under his sheets, Dylan starts to wonder if he’s been wrong about everything. Will he remain just a shadow to Tristian, or is there more to his story? ••• Tristan’s breath was steady, but I could feel the tension in the air between us. I stood too close. My fingers brushed against his arm, just enough to make the heat between us undeniable. “Don’t…” he murmured, his voice a low growl that sent a shiver down my spine. But I didn’t move away. I couldn’t. His presence was too much, too magnetic. My body hummed with a hunger I didn’t know how to quiet. His eyes locked with mine, intense, searching, like he knew what I was feeling before I did. “You’re too close,” he whispered. I stayed silent, caught between the urge to pull away and the need to be closer. His breath, warm on my skin, made it harder to think. “Do you intend to trigger your heat again, my pretty little thing?” He breathed out and I could have climaxed right there and then.
