COUNTRY AND SECTOR MAPS

THE SECOND ANNUAL GAME NIGHT

They took our free will. Now, we will take what they treasure most.

For too long, alphas had allowed themselves to be chained. To be denied their birthright.

No longer.

Tonight, alphas will hunt, the way their forefathers did. Driven by pure instinct, no Omega will be spared their feral desires.

But for some, not just any Omega will do. There are those whose scents drive them to distraction, whose very existence calls to something deep and primal.

And there is no price they will not pay to finally claim their omega.

Binding Breanna was originally found in the BOUND dark omegaverse romance anthology.

THE BROADCAST

Attention: This is a message from the Universal Governance Council ABO Security and Surveillance Division.

Missive: Game Night

The UGC acting in accordance with the verdict cast forth from the ABOSSD has declared a trial. The unrest amongst the Alpha Elites has been brought to the attention of the governing body. As a result you will be granted one night in which your cerebral monitors will be turned off. This will allow you to experience all the emotions, drives, and aggressions of an Alpha. You are free to act on these impulses as your aggression center will no longer be short-circuited, inhibiting your actions.

This freedom will last for a period of fourteen (14) hours from 7:00 pm Eastern Sector Time on Oct. 31st until 9:00 am Eastern Sector Time on Nov. 1st

NOTE: This is for Sector 5 only. Any Alphas from other sectors that wish to participate will need to be processed at any one of our border control hubs by Oct. 29th at the latest.

Since the number of registered omegas in Sector 5 have far surpassed critical level, it is now safe to suspend Alpha Ordinance 12: “Dynamic Interbreeding Permissions Act” for this one night. It is our goal that this one night of reprieve will help with the growing unease and allow you to bleed off your need to hunt and capture. May you find freedom in this Game Night and make this experiment a success.

DAVID’S OFFICE

Mitchum

“Mr. Survelle.”Tia rises from her desk, quick to greet me. “I don’t have you down to see Mr. Gall today.” Her smile grows tight as she says, “Is he expecting you?” She hates it when I pop in, but David is the fucking CEO. He can take a few hours out of his day for me without his secretary copping an attitude.

“I don’t have an appointment,” I say, not bothering to explain myself. I’m an Alpha and if I want to see my boyfriend, I will. “Is David free?”

Tia takes my jacket and bag. I hold the thick manila envelope a little tighter, making it clear that I don’t want her to take it. “I’ll have to check,” she says, and I instantly know he is, otherwise, she would have given me some excuse and asked me to wait in the parlor.

“Let him know that I have a little surprise.” I hold up the envelope.

“Of course.” Tia’s smile stays firmly in place as she hangs my jacket on the hook next to David’s office door. Her tight lilac dress hugs her trim waist and narrow hips. I do love the way she dresses, so fresh and young.

I turn, admiring the vast room. I take in the sleek light fixtures overhead and the modern art hanging from each wall. Clean lines and vibrant colors cover the canvases. It makes the space look more like an exhibit than the top floor of a corporate skyrise.

“Mr. Gall will see you now.” Tia gives me another tight smile as I pass.

“What are you doing here?” David stands to greet me as I step into his office. He rounds his desk, his arms out to hug me. “Are you worried I won’t get off work in time?” His dark eyes sparkle.

“I know how much you’ve been looking forward to Game Night.” I press my mouth to him, loving how his beard tickles my nose. The sides fade from blond to the same salt and pepper covering his temples. He’s so fucking sexy.

“What can I do for you, my love?” He tucks a strand of my dark brown hair behind my ear. I’ve been thinking about cutting it short, but David says he prefers it long. He likes that it makes me look younger than I am. After all, I was in my twenties when we met, but after three years, people aren’t nearly as shocked to see a forty-five-year-old Alpha with a thirty-year-old. It’s not as taboo. Not as thrilling.

But we’ve found something new to inject some excitement into our sex life.

“I got you something,” I say, “and I was too excited to wait.”
