X-CLAN: THE ORIGIN

LEXI C. FOSS

PROLOGUE: JONAS

Doctor Riley Campbell is a brat.

She’s unruly. Uncooperative. Rude. And the most alluring wolf I’ve ever had the displeasure of meeting.

I don’t know what her fucking problem is, but one of these days, I’m going to bend that rebellious little Beta over my knee and spank her ass raw.

Then fuck her.

For days.

And days.

Until this obsession with the sweet-smelling doctor leaves my system.

I’ve never been this attracted to a female, let alone a Beta. But there is just something about Riley that calls to my wolf.

I’ve tried to ignore it.

But she’s constantly provoking my inner dominant with her sassy little remarks and snarky comments.

I can smell her interest in me, which is perhaps the heart of our problem. So a good fuck will solve this issue for both of us.

Or worsen it.

That’s assuming she allows me to protect her long enough for both of us to survive this hell.

At the rate we’re going, we’re both going to end up dead in months.

Because she refuses to listen to my directives and she fights me every step of the way.

I’m not a bad Alpha, little wolf.

If you give me a chance, you’ll see how good I can be to you.

So why don’t you put the claws away? Let me pet you. Show you what I can do with my hands and my tongue.

I promise you’ll feel worshipped in the end.

Because I’ll treat you like a queen.

And leave you begging me for more…

CHAPTERONE

“What the hell is wrong with you?” I demanded, glaring at my reflection in the mirror. “You shouldn’t need another suppressant already.”

My wolf stared back at me, the darkening orbs confirming what I already knew—my heat was coming.Again.

I’d just taken a suppressant three months ago. I shouldn’t need another one already.
