Zen's Gift

CQ 2024 entry. When Lithe Hildebrand hires Zen Starke to retrieve stolen property belonging to the Maximillian Tribe nothing goes according to plan. Lithe, a workaholic and perfectionist, convinces Zen to let him go on the dangerous mission with him for fear that if mishandled it could ruin his reputation and career. Intrigued, Zen is determined to keep his potential mate by his side at all costs. For he’s never met anyone as captivating and sensuous as Lithe. When Lithe’s life is threatened, Zen makes a bargain to protect Lithe if he pretends to be his fiancé. Pressed for time, Lithe agrees since Zen is nothing like the media portrays him to be. As a recessive omega he finds the dominant alpha irresistibly charismatic and fiercely loyal. The problem is the feelings are mutual. Despite their differences, the lovers embark on a dangerous quest that gets them more than they bargain for when they encounter murder, deception and the gift of everlasting love.

False hope

Zen was moving so fast it was hard for Lithe to keep up with him but somehow they managed. 

Morgan was meeting with one of their informants who had managed to infiltrate the Stryker gang even though they were considered low level in the hierarchy.

They ran down the stairs until they reached outside the building, Zen was using his phone to pinpoint Morgan's location on the map. 

Morgan and the informant should be able to handle themselves until Zen arrives but there was still that sense of urgency to get there quickly. 

Morgan had been in the army so he knew how to fight and wasn't given to panicking easily.

The fact that he even called Zen meant that they were outnumbered and Morgan probably felt that the odds were against them.
