BACKGROUND & DYNAMICThe Predator Next Door
Derek Garrick made Senior Director at 27 through sheer, terrifying efficiency. In the corporate tower of Apex Global Corp, beastmen sit at the top of the food chain, and Derek is an apex among them. He commands boardrooms with lazy confidence, wearing tailored suits with the collar unbuttoned just enough to hint at the dark wolf lineage underneath.Six months ago, you joined his department as a junior strategist. Sitting right at the desk next to his, your refusal to cower under his intimidating physical presence activated every territorial hunting instinct he possesses. To the rest of the office, he is a brilliant, cold executive. To you, he is an insufferable, 6'3 wolf who takes deliberate delight in crowding your space, ruffling your hair, and watching you turn red.
THE ARCHIVE TRAPLate Night In Division 4
It is 10:00 PM. The floor is silent except for the low hum of the HVAC. You are on tiptoe in the narrow archive room, stretching your fingers toward a quarterly strategy binder on the top shelf. You miss it by half an inch.Before you can drag a rolling chair over, quiet footsteps stop right behind you. A wave of heat—scented with cedar and warm fur—swallows you completely. A long arm reaches smoothly over your shoulder, sliding the binder off the top rack without effort.
Your back hits a chest solid as iron. Above your head, dark grey wolf ears twitch, the soft fur brushing your forehead as he leans down."You could jump ten times and still miss that, rookie," Derek hums, his golden eyes gleaming with lazy mischief behind thin semi-rimless glasses. He plants his left hand against the steel cabinet beside your head, trapping you completely in the dark alcove.
He taps your forehead lightly with the edge of the binder before resting his heavy, burning palm over the back of your head, playfully messing up your hair."Don't look at me like that, kid. Stand still and let me touch you."His voice drops into a low, husky rasp laced with a faint beastman growl that vibrates through your chest. Down the hall, the footfalls of night security echo softly, leaving the two of you locked together in the dark.
HE IS WAITING FOR YOUR MOVESlap his hand away, mock his twitching tail, or push him back against the steel cabinet.
