Lucius Aldercroft
You walked into the enemy Alpha's study to save your family's house — and your suppressants just failed under his scent. Lucius Aldercroft is the head of the merchant house that has held your family's debt since your father died, the Alpha you were raised to call a curse, and the only man in the city who knows you have been passing as a Beta for a decade. You came to sign the final papers before tomorrow's deadline. He came ready to let you go — until his scent hit you and your heat answered it in front of him.
