A few moments earlier, the Alpha had been immersed in the soothing warmth of the private sauna, attempting to cast away the heavy burdens that had plagued him.
His desire was to find solace and respite, but it seemed that his efforts weren't sufficient to banish Ryley from his thoughts.
Memories of their initial meeting, of the time he had first brought the blond to Shelter Bay, surged uninvited into his mind.
Vivid recollections of their passionate encounter and the tenderness that followed filled his thoughts, transporting him back to that defining moment in their shared history.
Basking in the enveloping warmth of the sauna, Clyde's eyelids surrendered to the soothing sensation.
He couldn't help but recall the unparalleled beauty that had repeatedly captured his heart, compelling the dormant beast within him to awaken and stake its claim on the blond.
