The Cheerleader

I dance under hot lights and colder rules. Pom-poms, stage smiles, and a thong that barely counts as underwear. It's all part of the show. But behind the glitter and the heels, I’m hiding something that could get me killed.

Abel, my boss, is also my father’s old friend, and the Alpha I’ve been trying to ignore. He has very set rules. No drama. No scent leaks. No slipping.

But I slip.

One moment, I’m the Cheerleader. The next, I’m burning alive in my first heat, and every Alpha in the club smells me. Especially him.

Abel finds me. He saves me and he claims me.

Now the bond is snapping into place like a noose. The heat won’t end until he knots me, marks me, and makes me his. But he’s twice my age and he’s dangerous. He also swore he’d never touch me.

But it’s too late for that. Because I’m not hiding anymore. And he’s not walking away. He can pretend he’s still in control, but I know the truth. He’s mine.

And I’m about to ruin both of us.
