Lethal Alpha by Layla Heart

Vera’s life has changed significantly in the last few weeks, she went from being on the run for years to now settling down with her very own pack. Only, that new quiet is still under threat…

After meeting under very unusual circumstances, Vera, Caleb and Mathew had fallen into a comfortable daily rhythm. Only for that rhythm to be broken when Jorge Thornton stepped through the door and set off a range of unexpected reactions.
The end result being that the two Omegas went into heat in a nest that they had to put together in a rush, and that the four of them bonded and formed a brand new pack.
The pack had been staying home even after the Omegas’ heats ended, too wrapped up in their new bonds to want to go anywhere else. But, at Jorge’s insistence, they go out for dinner since people are starting to wonder what has happened to them, wondering if there might be something wrong. Which is not good for business or their safety.
So, the four go out to eat at Mathew and Jorge’s favourite restaurant, which turns out to be way fancier than Vera or Caleb have ever been at.
To make it even worse, things to get complicated when they run into stunningly beautiful female Alpha Riley Faulkner, a friend of Jorge, as she’s waiting for her dinner companions.

It appears that people in the pack are keeping secrets, some with deadly consequences…

This is the third out of twelve novellas following Vera and her mates in the Her Vicious Pack serial, a dark contemporary reverse harem/Why Choose romance set in a sweet Omegaverse world about a criminal found family empire with dreams of ‘expanding the family’.
