The Bunker Takes His Scent

Dean Rourke has Ellis Ward pinned against the steel walls of the Faraday bunker, teeth hovering over his gland as the riot tears through the city outside. Then the suppressants fail—and the commissioner realizes the “Beta” beneath him is a hidden omega who could seize every radio channel in the city. Ellis runs the 911 board with a voice sharp enough to command an entire city, but Dean has never lost control of a room—or a man. Trapped together with guns raised and the bunker collapsing around them, every command becomes a challenge, every touch a battle, and every rescue comes with a price. Dean could expose Ellis with a single word, yet Ellis’s scent is already burning through the alpha’s restraint. Pinned, marked, and still fighting, Ellis must choose: surrender the board and his secret—or let Dean’s voice expose him to the whole city.
