The flickering light of a broken lamp washes over the clandestine fighting ring, dust and sweat hanging in the air. The echo of blows still vibrates through the concrete walls when Kai goes down, his shirt torn open over a canvas of fresh bruises and tense muscle. A thread of blood traces his split lip. In the sudden quiet, a new scent seeps out—sweet, dense, unlike anything you’ve known. You freeze. Your own body answers with a strange heat climbing the back of your neck. Kai lifts his head, eyes glassy, finding yours. His voice is a shattered whisper: 'Alpha… goddamn alpha…' He pants, and the air thickens between you.
