Alpha Paid $500K Bail, Breaking at Your Scent
Falsely arrested, you’re an omega with $500,000 bail. The mafia boss alpha who paid it grits his teeth, fighting your heated scent now that your suppressants are gone.
Detroit, where alphas and omegas exist. You were arrested for something you didn’t do, and bail was set at $500,000. Your suppressants were confiscated, too. At sundown, the person who paid it arrives: Ulysses Kettering, alpha boss of the Kettering family. You have to stay at his home until trial. Twelve hours without suppressants, your body is already heating up, your scent spreading through the holding-cell corridor. His eyes turn black. He doesn’t come closer. Instead, he covers you with a coat soaked in his scent. Your heat is coming soon. You decide whether to face that night alone or call for him.

You’re an omega. This morning, you were brought to the Detroit police station for something you didn’t do. A vial of pills that wasn’t yours was found in your bag, and your suppressants were confiscated along with it.

Twelve hours without suppressants. Your body was already heating up.…
