She brushed her bangs off her forehead with a sigh. Damn it, couldn\u2019t\u00a0<em>anyone<\/em>\u00a0in this office take care of stuff without her intervention?<\/p>\n<p>The male voice continued to roar out there, and she knew her secretary wouldn\u2019t be able to handle him because Kara was such an omega even omega males dominated her. Serena sighed again, saved her database update and headed out to confront the wolf male jerk. Serena took in the male outrage with a shake of her head.\u00a0<em>Asshole.<\/em>\u00a0He shook his head as if he\u2019d heard her. Yeah right. She wished.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry, sir. Really.\u201d Kara huddled in her chair, her head dipped and her eyes on her desktop. Submission in her posture and her voice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou people set me up with some stalker bitch! I want to talk to one of the owners,\u00a0<em>now.<\/em>\u201d A tall black-haired man with dark-brown eyes leaned on the desk, his large hands flat on the wood.<\/p>\n<p>Serena took him in, her body responding immediately. Damn it. She didn\u2019t need this shit, but she couldn\u2019t take her eyes off him. He wore a very expensive, black Italian suit, Italian black leather loafers, a crisp white shirt and red tie. The ultimate in power wear for the busy executive. And he was so good-looking he resembled an escapee from Fashion Week. She shook her head to remind herself that he wasn\u2019t\u00a0<em>all that<\/em>\u2026he was just a wolf like any other.<\/p>\n<p>Heads hung out of office doors, watching the confrontation with enjoyment, yet no one came to Kara\u2019s rescue. Probably glad to be out of firing range themselves\u2026that\u2019s what she got for hiring betas. The females all wanted him and the males would jump to follow his orders.<\/p>\n<p>Female musk clogged the air. Especially from Lea Redcat, one of her business partners. Predator-Match.com was damn successful. To the outside world, their site looked like a zoo animal match service. To the shapeshifter community, it was a way to find a lover or a life partner. Since Lea was allowing this thing to escalate, it looked like Serena to the rescue. Again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really sorry, sir. We do our best to match our clients up with the best fit for them.\u201d Kara cringed lower behind her desk and wouldn\u2019t meet the man\u2019s eyes. Typical omega posture. The male frowned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you saying you think I\u00a0<em>deserve<\/em>\u00a0a psycho bitch as my Mate?\u201d His quiet voice seemed to scare Kara more than his shouting had because she backed up. It wouldn\u2019t be long before she crawled under her desk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo s-s-sir,\u201d Kara stammered.<\/p>\n<p>Damn that bastard. He was done scaring Kara. Unable to suppress her temper, Serena growled. His gaze flashed to her and she felt it all the way to her womb. Damn but he was hot.
