Chapter 7
Zeke shifted in the woods behind Jared's house and snarled with frustration. What he wanted... What he needed
was on that dick’s property. The scent was so strong here that Shadow was going crazy trying to cross the
boundary.
He usually had a tighter grip on his wolf than this, so it occurred to him for a second that maybe he needed to
worry. It had taken years of work to get that unstable beast under control.
But that scent... He was with Shadow on this. They had to find it
So he jogged back to his house and entered through the back doors. Myles and Derek were in the lounge with a
group of girls who were definitely not wolves. He ignored their questioning looks when he strode past them
naked. He didn’t give a shit that his junk was swinging all over the place in front of strangers. Other wolves
wouldn't have cared, but he felt the girls eyeing him as if he were their next meal.
Derek found him as he was putting a shirt on.
“Are we going somewhere?” he asked.
“Just me.”
He didn’t want to elaborate. The whole situation stunk of hypocrisy, which he was well aware of. Claire had only
mentioned the party, and he had been ready to rip her apart. Even now, the thought of going over to Jared's
house was grating on his nerves. Was it worth it? Did he need to enter the enemy's territory just to find out what
that scent was?
“Yes, Shadow said.
Shadow hardly ever talked, not since he had taken control of him. But he didn’t have tto stop and think
about that. It didn’t matter anyway since they agreed. They were going to the party.
“Don’t tellyou're going back to Claire,” Derek said. “You know your father disapproves.”
He frowned at Derek as he put on his tie. Being questioned about his every move was something he wouldn't
miss once he becthe Alpha. Somehow, his father always found a way to micro-manage things, even so far
away.
“Not that it's any of your fucking business, but no, I'm not going to see Claire,”
“So why are you getting dressed up?”
Zeke looked at his reflection in the mirror and paused as he made the final knot in his tie. Shit. What the fuck
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas he doing? This was Jared's party, and he dressed like he was going on a date. He had no idea why he'd felt
the need to do that. There would be no one he'd want to impress at Jared's house; they were all members of his
pack or people they had allied with. Which meant they were all his enemies.
Which meant he would be outnumbered if he went alone. But sl...
He pulled the tie off and found a pair of jeans and a T-shirt.
“Zeke, are you okay?”
“Yes. I'm just... I'm hungry.
He was starving. He wanted whatever was whetting his appetite like this. He wanted to inhale it. Lick it. Bathe in
it. He wanted it all over him if he could. The scent had invaded every part of him, almost like the scent of prey on
a hunt. He

couldn't stop. His thoughts were all jumbled up as he finally pulled the T-shirt over his head and walked out of
his room. with Derek close behind.
“Then order something. You don’t need to go out now, not when the vampires-"
“I know what's out there,” he growled as he rushed down the stairs.
He walked past the lounge entrance, where Myles was already entertaining sof the girls. The scent of lust
was heavy in the air, tainting the sweet scent that seemed to have melded onto every cell in his body. The
moment he stepped out into fresh air, the scent hit him again. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Fuck, that was amazing
When he opened his eyes again and looked toward Jared's house, he struggled to push Shadow back. Shifting
there would be seen as an act of war, and the consequences would be more than he was willing to pay.
“Zeke... Your eyes, man,” Derek said quietly.
He took another deep breath before he looked at his friend. Why did he look so worried? He was known for his
control over Shadow, It had been years since....
He looked away from Derek again to start walking down his driveway. All he wanted was to find where this scent
was coming from. There would be no trouble tonight.
“Go back to your girls. I'm not staying out too long.” he commanded.
Maybe that made him a dick because Derek had to comply instead of following him. But he wasn’t going to let
anyone stop
him.
People moved out of his way as he went up Jared's driveway. They stopped talking as he looked around, trying to
find the source. But it wasn’t out here. He followed it into the house and stopped just inside the doorway. The
scent was everywhere here. With a frown, he followed it in every room before he cto the kitchen.
The Omegas in the kitchen dropped what they were doing and shrank back. Knives clattered on the surfaces;
trays fell to the floor. Zeke didn’t pay them any attention as he looked at the food on offer. He poked a piece of
steak that looked like it was cooked to perfection. He had nothing but a few bites of his pastry at lunch, so
looking at that meat should have made him. want to eat it. None of it smelled like what he wanted, but he was
practically drooling standing there. Starved. But not for this food.
He eyed the Omegas one by one, but all he could smell on them was fear.
“What else have you made? What's that scent? Like vanilla and something fruity,” he demanded.
They didn't lift their heads to answer him. He wondered if Jared had ordered his Omegas to never interact with
him. Scowling at them, he walked around the kitchen island to stand beside them. Shadow was going crazy, in
complete agreement with him. They would not be denied.
“Tellwhat else you made,” he growled.
The Omega swallowed before she said, “This is everything, sir.”
He didn’t sense a lie. He growled in frustration as he backed off and left the kitchen.
If it wasn’t food in the kitchen, it had to be on one of the guests, le followed the scent to the wide-open back
doors, where
he could smell Jared and his pack. The pawas full of people ing loud and obnoxious and participating in things

Vanilla. A hint of orange blended so perfectly that his body started to react. And human.
He recoiled back. Human?
And then Shadow said something that didn’t make sense but still filled him with dread.
