Alexei

Kieran is already shaking beneath me when I make the decision. No more half-measures. No more pretending this is casual, that I’m just the convenient brute he hired to ruin his sheets. No more contracts. No more lies.

If I’m going to brand myself into this man’s bones, I’m going to do it properly.

His legs are locked around my waist, arms clinging to my shoulders like he’s trying to fuse us together. His mouth is hot and desperate under mine, all those careful princely manners drowned in raw, clumsy need.

Every little sound he makes, every hitched breath, every frantic,

  • A Different Kind of Alpha: Blood Oath   Chapter 103 – The Pack We Choose

    AlexeiThe next day feels endless. My head is full of Kieran on his knees, face flushed, eyes wide, taking what he wants because I told him to.Highly distracting, would not recommend for productivity. Ten out of ten, will do it again.The guard outside his door keeps his eyes politely forward as I approach. He knows better than to comment when I don't even try to look like I'm here on official business.I slip inside and shut the door. He’s not at the desk this time.He’s sitting sideways on the bed, back propped against the headboard, bare feet tucked under him, still half-dressed. He’s holding one of his ledgers, but it’s closed, lying spine-up on his knees like a prop he forgot to put down.There’s a little crease between his brows. A thinking line that appears whenever something’s bothering him.He looks up when I come in and the crease immediately disappears. My heart soars.“Hey,” he says, quietly.“Hey,” I echo.Look at us. Terrible, terrifying wolves. Masters of language and

  • A Different Kind of Alpha: Blood Oath   Chapter 102 – The Lesson

    AlexeiBy the time the bells mark the last change of the watch, the keep feels like it’s holding its breath. And I’m standing outside Kieran’s door, trying not to overthink knocking.“Come in,” he calls.His voice does that thing to my spine it always does now. Possessive, even through wood.I push the door open and find him not in bed, but at his desk.For a change though, the desk is clear. No ledgers. No maps. Just a single candle, a neatly coiled length of soft rope, and a folded piece of dark cloth.He’s ditched his usual fancy clothes for something looser. A simple dark shirt, sleeves rolled to the elbows, black trousers, bare feet. His hair is damp from the shower.He looks like sin and sleeplessness and something perilously close to happily ever after.He leans back in his chair, studying me.“You’re late,” he says.“I’m right on time,” I counter. “The bells just rang.”“Late,” he repeats with a shake of his head.I shut the door without taking my eyes off him.“Then punish me

  • A Different Kind of Alpha: Blood Oath   Chapter 101 – Tells

    KieranThe problem with basically saying I love you is that the words don’t go away the next morning.They just hang there. In the air. In my head. In the way Alexei hands me my cloak like it’s something precious instead of something I only remember to wear half the time.I’m not used to feelings sticking.Orders, yes. Insults, definitely. Praise, rarely.Love?My brain doesn’t know where to file it.By mid-morning, I’ve ruined three drafts of the same letter.“Stop glaring at the parchment,” Lyra says from the other side of my desk. “It’s not responsible for your mood.”“I’m not glaring,” I snap.“You’re doing the stabby eyebrow thing,” she says. “Either sign that letter to Blackthorn or go bite someone. The indecision is making me nervous.”I throw the quill down.“It’s not the letter,” I mutter.“Obviously,” she says. She lets the silence sit for a beat. Then, casually, “So. You and Alexei are… good?”Heat flashes up my neck. “That’s not council business.”“I’m not wearing my counc

  • A Different Kind of Alpha: Blood Oath   Chapter 100 – Complete Surrender

    KieranHe watches me with wolf-bright eyes and stretches languidly, muscles rippling under his fur, and then rolls onto his side, exposing his belly again. It’s a ridiculous, reckless invitation, designed to seduce me.My wolf moves without consulting the rest of me.I step into his space. I nudge his flank with my nose, a low whine in my throat. I’m asking permission, saliva already dripping from my muzzle with the urge to lick him.

  • A Different Kind of Alpha: Blood Oath   Chapter 99 – Teeth and Moonlight

    KieranThe howl comes while I’m arguing with an invoice.It cuts through the keep like a blade, high and sharp and wrong. Not a hunting call. Not a greeting. An alert.My quill drops, splattering ink across the ledger and a second later, Marcus is at my door.“Eastern ridge,” he says, already half-shifted. “Patrol caught a scent that doesn’t belong.”

  • A Different Kind of Alpha: Blood Oath   Chapter 98 – Confessions in the Dark

    AlexeiThree days after he said enough, Kieran asks me to run away with him.Not permanently. Just for the evening.He appears in my doorway at dusk, hair damp from a hurried wash, cloak slung over one shoulder. “Come with me,” he says, without preamble.“That’s ominous.”
