I yelped, squirming, but quickly stilled myself, knowing one wrong move in this position and I’d fall. And London sure wasn’t going to catch me. The glint in his eyes made that clear. Trapped, I was at his mercy, taking whatever he dished out without writhing. His head peeked up from between my legs, squinting as he hoarsely said, “Oh, and one more thing... not a single sound from you, and don't touch me. Don't say I didn't warn you.” What? He couldn't expect me to just shut my eyes and keep it in. Hell, soft moans were already escaping my lips from his previous kisses. “What?” I asked, bewildered. “Meaning, you're not allowed to make any sound, and you're not allowed to touch me, including tugging on my hair; you'd give me a headache,” he huskily said, licking my inner thighs again, inching closer to my wetness. “Or else?” I dared to ask. He gave me a devilish smile before chuckling, “You're free to find out, no?” *************** London was once a devoted Gamma, but fate has given him a second life as the Alpha and Lycan King, haunted by a deep-seated hatred for women and the mate bond. Unable to recall his past life, he now faces a new destiny intertwined with a woman who lost everything in one tragic night. When he rejects her, he risks losing all he's ever desired.

He held on to it while he checked it over with a frown on his forehead. “That’s all? If you were a wolf, these would already have healed.” Anna sighed. “Never mind, then. I’ll survive.” Anna tried to pull her hand away from him, but he held on tight. She was fed up listening to how superior wolves were compared to the weaker humans. “You have a stubborn streak. You should work on that.” Thorn chuckled as if he found her resistance to be funny. “Yes, Daddy. I’ll keep it in mind the next time I meet a wolf in the forest,” Anna said between clenched teeth. He didn’t look much older than her. But judging by his words, he sounded as if he thought he was her boss or someone who thought he could order her about. Thorn glared at her. “You don’t want to test me, Human.” “Just get it over with, Wolf. I’ve already been threatened within the inch of my life more times than I can count during this day. I stopped caring a few hours ago.” “Who threatened you?” “All of you. If you plan to kill me, why don’t you just do it and get it over with? Instead of boring me to death first.” Anna knew it was stupid to challenge him, but she was too tired to hide her thoughts. “You’ve got the wrong idea. We don’t intend to kill you. If we did, we would have done it already.” Thorn gave her more information than she had expected to receive. He cleaned her wounds, making her wince at the alcohol as it entered her open wounds. Then he smeared enough salve to keep her hand wet for a long while and wrapped a bandage around it. It was obvious he knew his way around medical treatment despite his reluctance to help her. “You don’t?” Anna asked, fearing she wouldn’t like his answer. “No. Our pack needs mates, not dead bodies.” “What does that mean?” Anna asked, even if she thought she knew where this was heading. ‘Hadn’t she heard some rumours about mates being the wolves' partners?’ He grinned as if he knew what she feared. “A human can still be bred, notwithstanding you’re far weaker than us.” —————
The new model for business success: replace top-down Alpha management with collaboration, connection, and increased job satisfaction—the Beta model The Fall of the Alphas explores the sweeping changes taking place in the corporate and social cultures of today's most successful organizations. Utilizing years of advising companies of all sizes, hypergrowth startups to Fortune 500 company management teams, Dana Ardi identifies a pivotal evolutionary moment: the decline of the traditional Alpha-model (the top-down, male-dominated, authoritarian, corner-office hierarchy that has ruled organizational landscapes for so long), as it is replaced by collaboration, connectivity, and the sharing of power. As Ardi persuasively demonstrates, in the new Beta organization, it is the team players, the sage advisors, the network experts, the trusted assistants, and the communications facilitators who are coming to the fore, as savvy managers learn to lead through influence and collaboration rather than authority and competition. From technology behemoths to small and medium-sized businesses, Beta has become the new paradigm for success in today's challenging market. With insight and practical guidance, Dana Ardi shows how any business organization or team can re-organize from Alpha to Beta—and be more effective, flexible, and profitable
