Hudson disconnected the call.Thank the dragon gods he and Connie had been working from home that day and notone at his office in San DeLain.
Smoke trailed from his nostrils as he surged to his feet. Ifthat was Don trailing Beckett and Kit, the asshole had better pray towhatever God he believed in for mercy because Hudson had none.
When he arrived at his garage, Sir Parker, Lady Audrey, Lord Nelson,and Lord Mitchell from his Inner Circle were waiting, along with two dragonsfrom his court.
Hudson squeezed Connie shoulder briefly before addressing hisdragons and explaining what was going on.
“Are we sure it’s Don?” Audrey asked.
“No, unfortunately, but Beckett is positive they are beingfollowed, and he’s also reasonably sure it’s a white Chevy truck, which Dondoes drive. Regardless, we take no chances.”

“Huh?” Beckett glanced quickly at Kit.
“Don’t give me that look. And how can you be as old as you areand manage to look so innocent?” Kit waved his hand like he was shooing awaythe question. “Anyway, you’re frowning. Is something going on?”
“Just keeping an eye on traffic.”
“Beckett.”
“Okay, okay, I thought I saw a white Chevy truck a ways back,but I couldn’t get a good look at it to see if it had front end damage.”

Thursday Book Recommendation (on a Friday again lol)
These are books I’ve read and reallyenjoyed. Most of what I talk about will probably be paranormal/scifi but notalways. Although it’s rare, I do read some contemporary.
This week is: How to Train Your Human Omega: An MM Alien SciFi Romance (Coveted Bonds Book 1) by Arden Fox
Blurb:
Thetall alien’s eyes flashed. That was the only warning I got. He charged at me,throwing my crew mates aside as if they were nothing.
Inthat moment, I was certain he would kill me.
Butno death blow came. Instead, he spoke, his deep voice heavily accented, eachword like stone slabs falling into place.
“Youare mine.”
Clay
Idon't ask for much from life; I get paid, and then I get laid. And pilotingspaceships across the galaxy keeps my solo lifestyle well funded. I don't needa relationship or any of the baggage that comes with it. I like my men like Ilike my coffee; to go.
Thatis, until the most boring job in the universe goes horribly wrong and I’msnatched from my ship by a seven-foot alien. He's huge, he's purple, and he'sripped as hell. I'm sure I'm a dead man.
Onlyit turns out he doesn't want to kill me. What he wants is far worse.
Arcay
Iam the Second; Aldar royalty, the right hand of our leader. I live a half life.On my planet, alphas and omegas are believed to be two halves of a soul. ButOmegas are a rare treasure, all but extinct, and I have resigned myself tonever knowing the joy of a soul bond.
Butthat all changes the moment I step onto the human ship. By some miracle, theirpilot is an unclaimed omega. It does not matter that he is a different species,I have to have him.
Thatshould be my happy ending; omegas are supposed to be meek, obedient, andwilling. Clay is anything but. He resists me at every turn. I must bend him tomy will before his potent pheromones draw every unmated alpha on the ship–myrank will only hold them back for so long.
Howto Train Your Human Omega is a beauty and the beast retelling in the form of anaction-packed, spicy, M/M sci-fi romance (with no mpreg) featuring an alienrace of beefcakes, a stubborn human, and a very confused and grumpy alientrying to find his happily ever after in all the wrong ways. This book is thefirst in the Coveted Bonds series, with overarching storylines and recurringcharacters. Each story follows a different couple to their HEA.
