THE ALPHAVERSE This story takes place in Anarcheim, a parallel Alphaverse galaxy in a dark future seeded with varied forms of alien life. There are two immutable constants. The first is that all inhabitants are Alpha, beta, or omega. Alphas lead, betas serve, and omegas submit. That is the way. The second is that violence is a way of life, power is essential to survival, and crime is king. ***Oh, and since it’s a question that a lot of readers ask: A single rotation = the time it takes for the planet to spin fully around, approximately equivalent to a 24-hour day on Earth A planetary rotation = the time it takes for the planet to rotate once around their suns, approximately equal to 365 Earth days, or one Earth year. PREQUEL: FILTHY BEGINNINGS: A DARK FATED-MATES ROMANCE 1 SCARLETT “You getting those panties filthy wet for me, wild thing?” Damien’s whispered rasp sent gooseflesh rippling across Scarlett’s skin. “I want that lucky little toy to prime that pussy. To make you a slick, creamy mess between those gorgeous thighs. The kind I can’t wait to lick clean.” His words were as potent as the flat clear rod vibrating between her clit and the puckered rosebud of her bottom, its pulses pure ecstasy—and pure torment. Damien’s gift to her, held in place by gentle suctions that only intensified her pleasure, was a top-of-the-line sex toy from his home planet, and her new favorite transgression. Scarlett stifled a moan. The Consortium had positioned her display case high on the raised stage at one end of the oval-shaped stadium, a golden stool beneath her and a glittering gold curtain at her back. While the curtain hid the sterile wall and functional doorway behind it, the other three clear walls fit with the message her handlers wished to convey: she was the ultimate prize, a trophy just out of reach, there to motivate the fighters and fuel their aggression while discouraging them from approaching. And usually, no one dared. Except for Damien. He stood in the concealed doorway, hidden from the others by the curtain. Her perfect, filthy secret. Her risk and her rebellion. Her everything. “Such a good fucking girl.” He slipped a single finger through the curtain and trailed it down the nape of her neck. She shivered with need, fingers curling around the edge of her stool. Reckless. So damned reckless. If caught, there would be hells to pay. But, Goddess help her, she lived for his touch. Buzz. The toy’s pulses intensified. Another flutter of the curtain. Another low rasp. “Press those pretty thighs together and try not to squirm, sweet Scarlett.” A purr escaped. Most called her the prize. Or simply referred to her as Consortium property. Each time Damien said her name, a lost part of her found its way home. “That’s right, beautiful. So good. Soon, I’m going to reward you.” She wanted that reward. Needed more of his filthy praise. The urge to shift from her position was almost overwhelming. But that would be an absolute disaster, and not only for her. Scarlett’s gaze flicked to her primary handler, Consortium personnel Egan Avitus, holding court on the training arena floor—his back to her, his silver hair as shiny as the coins he so loved. As pit boss, showman, tournament organizer, and director of prizes and fighters, his power was extensive. Over her, it was absolute. Her brother, Luc, stood beside Egan. His recent promotion to high trainer had earned him a coveted spot up close to the action, but it also placed him in proximity to monsters such as Egan. Spines ramrod straight, they surveyed the rows of eager warriors from across the galaxy sparring
