Kill Me Alpha, Before I Do (Beast Of Flames Book 1)
"You kill so wonderfully well, little Raven," he murmured, his voice incredibly smooth, "but you did a terrible job hiding yourself. That beautiful scent of yours... wood, jasmine, and blood. It's unmistakable."
Thirteen years ago, ten-year-old Romy Hawthorne hid in the vineyard and watched the Supreme Alpha, Rowan Ashwing-Kael Vexley, pull a bloodied blade from her sister’s chest as her home burned.
Now, Romy is "Viper"—a lethal, wolf-less assassin.
When a twenty-million-dollar bounty drops on the man known as the Beast of Flames, she eagerly takes the job. Her mission: infiltrate his territory, plunge a silver knife into his heart, and avenge her family.
But her target is a dangerously powerful Fire Lord who has spent the last decade hunting the real syndicate that murdered his fiancée. When Romy breaks into his stronghold, he doesn't find a victim, he finds the surviving little sister of the woman he lost.
And to their absolute horror, she is his fated mate.
Bound by an agonizing supernatural tether where every ounce of physical pain she inflicts on him is violently mirrored in her own body, Romy is completely trapped. With enemies closing in, she must make a choice: Will she fulfill her lifelong vow and kill the monster who ruined her life? Or will she surrender to the intoxicating fire of the Alpha who would burn the world down to keep her safe?

Chapter: Chapter 6Romy pov1:30 AM.My subdued, sullen bridesmaid persona was dead and buried. In its place was Viper and Romy, the girl whose sister was killed by a beast.I stood on the ledge of the adjacent skyscraper, the freezing Buston wind whipping around my dark, skin-tight tactical gear. My face was concealed behind a sleek, black half-mask molded into the sharp beak and feathers of a raven.I smeared a Scent-masking serum, an acrid, chemical gel, generously over my pulse points to hide my human scent from whatever werewolf noses might be sniffing the night air.I strapped the twin silver blades to my thighs. I had deliberately shifted the timeline to half-past one. It was a calculated, tactical delay.Xry and the agency were undoubtedly monitoring my encrypted feed after frantically issuing their "Abort" command, and I needed them to assume I was following orders and sleeping it off.Furthermore, the Alpha’s personal guard dogs, his Beta Aaron Mercer, and the younger brother of four siblings,

Chapter: Chapter 5Romy pov“Did… did she just reject him?”“Did she reject Alpha Rowan?”“Is she crazy?”“Wait… she’s the Alpha’s mate?”The frantic, horrified whispers of the crowd swept through the grand reception hall like wildfire.Hundreds of pairs of eyes darted between me and the towering Beast of Flames standing only a breath away.A slow, dark smile appeared on my lips in absolute satisfaction.I had humiliated him. The Supreme Alpha of Stormveil, the most feared man on the continent, publicly cast aside by a bridesmaid.The urge to leap forward and bury my fangs into his perfectly sculpted, arrogant face was a living, breathing thing inside me.It hurt worse than the memory of the fire and it burned hotter than the night I watched him pull a silver blade from my sister’s chest.The Goddess forbade the man who slaughtered my family turned out to be my fated mate. The Moon Goddess must be absolutely silly to play such a sick, twisted joke on my life.I waited for the mythical, soul-tearing agon

Chapter: Chapter 4Rowan, 31 "Today is his son's wedding, Alpha. Can we just give him the decency of enjoying a father-of-the-groom day before taking him in for questioning?"Aaron, my Beta and second-in-command, matched my long strides as we turned out of the elevator. I barely paid heed to his words."I don't have the decency to wait another hour, Aaron," I replied, the voidness in my voice absolute. It was the same hollow tone I had carried for thirteen years.In two months, I would hit the thirteenth anniversary of losing my bride—the woman I loved, the woman I had failed to protect.And Aaron was asking me to have mercy on a man who might hold the answers as to why the woman I loved and her family were slaughtered before my wedding even began?Hell, no."Yes, Alpha," Aaron responded quietly.The target was Marcus Thorne. To the outside world, and specifically to his Crimson Ridge Pack down in Oklahoma, Marcus was a wealthy philanthropist with deep pockets and high connections. But beneath the pol

Chapter: Chapter 3Romy, 23.Present Day.“That dress,” Camellia noted, her manicured finger pointing directly at my neck as I turned slightly in the full-length mirror. “It doesn't cover the tattoo.”I kept my eyes glued to the reflection of my throat. Sprawling up the side of my neck was a masterpiece of dark ink: a midnight-blue raven. It was a silent, permanent tribute to Alina, the only person who had ever called me her little raven.It rested within a shadowed bed of dusky pink roses, the gothic vines and thorns curling upward—a beautiful, elaborate lie designed specifically to mask the cursed mark I had carried all my life.I raised a single brow, my gaze sweeping down the rest of my reflection. The dress was an earthy-toned silk A-line, featuring a sophisticated halter neck that gave way to dramatic, off-the-shoulder draped sleeves.It cinched tightly at my waist before flowing to the floor, parted by a high slit that exposed my leg and the four-inch heels strapped to my feet. A delicate silk b

Chapter: Chapter 213 years agoRomy povHer chest was heaving with shallow, erratic breaths. She forced the corners of her mouth up into a rigid, unnatural smile, but her lips were trembling so violently she couldn't hide her terror.She kept her hand pressed tightly over my mouth, her wide eyes silently pleading with me as she leaned in to whisper.“This is a new game, Rom,” Alina whispered. Her voice was thin and trembling, vibrating with a panic she was trying desperately to swallow. “And the first rule is... whoever makes a sound, loses.”I stared at her, confused. This wasn’t how she usually played.She stared down at me, her eyes wide and glistening with fear. “Okay?”I nodded quickly. Only then did she pull her hand away, though her mouth stayed locked in that tight, terrifying smile.“We’re still playing hide and seek,” she said. The words came out rushed. Uneven. “But you’re not hiding here. You’re going to run.”I stared at her, confused. Run?“Through the orchard. Our path. To the road.” Her

Chapter: Chapter 113 years ago.Romy’s POV“Heavens, Romy! You either pick that doll up or I swear, I'll rip its head off its poorly invested neck!” My mother screamed, filled with a I had come accustomed to over the years.I flinched, and the doll slipped from my fingers and hit the floor with a dull thud. One of her glass eyes caught the light and stared up at me like she was just as startled.Mother was already moving. She always moved when she was angry, like every step announced told everyone how angry she was.“Your birth alone has cost us enough,” she said, and this time her voice wavered. “Must you always remind me? Must you wave that mark around as if it’s something to be proud of?”But the thing was, I wasn't waving it. I never did.Still, my hand went to the back of my neck, fingers pressing against the place that was always too warm. The skin there throbbed faintly, like it had its own heartbeat.“Pick up that doll this instant and make this room presentable. You will not ruin your sister’s
