What were they thinking?
I shrank, panic a vise around my heart once more, but he gripped my chin, keeping me upright. He leaned closer, his nose almost touching mine as he cocked his head. Heat rushed to my cheeks.
I’d never wanted an alpha this close before, but he wasn’t like any I’d ever met. Before I could even blink, his lips found mine, and I was melting against him in the first kiss I’d ever had.
His touch was so safe—nothing compared to the alphas I'd met before. I felt something soft pressed against my chest and looked down.
Was he giving me his shirt?
He was…
I bit my lip, fear finally dying in the face of something much more fierce.
Mine…
He. Was. Mine.
Heat bloomed in my cheeks as the faintest rough purr tripped over itself on the way up my chest. I stamped it down—which was harder than I anticipated.
I’d never done that before in my life.

KARMA
The blur of movement and scents slowed around us, and my torrent of instincts settled.
The fighting was over, though my chest still heaved, senses a sparking live wire.
I felt the warm blood dripping down my neck as my gaze slid at last to Sin with the sweetaddictionthey’d just dropped into Anarchy.
Pure adrenaline flooded my veins again at the sight of her.
Burning, brilliant fuel.
Her hair was as pale as moonlight, shining in the harsh lighting, too bright against her pale skin. She was wearing Sin’s shirt now, covering her down to her cute little round thighs.
Startling eyes of liquid gold, still wet with tears, met mine for a moment, and my heart thundered so loudly in its cage I thought it was trying to break out. Perfect pink lips parted in a sweet ‘o’, her gaze drinking in the sight of the blood oozing down my chest. I straightened, tilting my chin up for her to see the blood better, and a primal swell of pride stirred another rumble through my bones.
A purr this time.
She shrank against Sin’s bare chest, golden gaze dropping to the floor, and I watched as he drew her tighter against him on instinct.
Fuck me–the two of them fit well together.
“You can’t be serious with that claim. It’s not fucking fair.”
I spun at the words.
Who had spoken?
I couldn’t tell which alpha.
“Fair?” Sin asked with a laugh as the closest alpha to me flinched back, a few sets of eyes dropping to my neck and chin.
I grinned, my teeth red and white from the iron tang.
A cracked growl of warning rolled up my spine, but the nearby alphas who weren't allies were already backing up.
