Her thirst for vengeance A bastard’s child
Chris’s povIn a split second, I moved across the room like a blur. I grabbed Lily by the throat, slamming her hard against the stone wall beside my desk. The force of the impact rattled the picture frames on the wall."Chris!" Lily gasped, her pale green eyes stretching wide with sudden, absolute terror as my hands tightened around her neck.My dark amber eyes flared with lethal, blinding Alpha aura. My fangs elongated, and my chest heaved with wild, furious growls. The air in the office turned suffocatingly heavy, crushed under the weight of my rage."Listen to me very carefully, Lily," I snarled, my voice dropping into a terrifying, guttural register right against her ear. "You can complain about Anna. You can complain about the throne. You can complain about the house staff. But if you *ever* speak Sarah’s name like that again, I will rip your fucking throat out with my bare hands."Lily gasped for air, her hands clutching at my wrist, her knees trembling beneath her. She had nev
Her thirst for vengeance Chris’s pov
Chris’s povI slammed the heavy wooden door of my private study shut, but it didn't stop Lily from storming in right behind me."I cannot fucking believe you, Chris!" Lily screamed, her face flushed red with pure rage as she threw her hands into the air. "You humiliated me! In front of the servants! In front of *her*!"I walked over to my desk, rubbing my thumb against the bridge of my nose as a massive headache pulsed behind my eyes. I was exhausted. I had spent the last six hours dealing with border breach reports, trying to secure our dying territory, and managing the suffocating tension between Anna and me. I didn't have the energy for Lily’s drama."Lily, please," I muttered, my voice low and weary. "Just lower your voice. I have work to do.""Lower my voice?!" Lily shrieked, marching right up to my desk and slamming both of her palms onto the mahogany surface. "You took away my authority at dinner! You let Anna—an exiled outsider—order me around and take my staff! You made me lo
Her thirst for vengeance The bargain
Author’s note; just checking in. Please if you are still reading, drop a comment. I want to know if I should finish this book, or drop it.Anna’s povChris stood pinned against the wall, his chest rising and falling heavily as my fingers stayed dug into his shirt collar. Tears were still filling my eyes, but I was burning with pure, unadulterated fury."Answer me, Chris!" I screamed, my voice shaking the hallway. "What did she do to our daughter?!"Chris didn't push my hands away. He didn't raise his voice. He just looked down at me, his dark amber eyes filled with a raw, painful shadow."I didn't know it was this bad, Anna," Chris said softly, his voice trembling slightly.I blinked, taking a small step back, though my hands dropped slowly from his shirt. "What?"Chris let out a long, shuddering breath, running a hand over his tired face. He leaned his head back against the stone wall, looking up at the ceiling."Why do you think I blackmailed you to come back?" Chris asked quiet, h
Her thirst for vengeance Seeing Sarah
Anna’s POV My hands were still shaking from the text message about the East, but I forced myself to swallow the panic. Right now, I had to stay focused on Sarah. Chris met me at the end of the long hallway leading toward the Alpha family wing. He looked around nervously, checking the empty corridor. "Lily is down in the main kitchen," Chris whispered, his voice low. "I told her there was an emergency with the vendor contracts for the Alpha summit, and she needed to inspect the banquet prep personally. It will keep her busy for at least an hour." "Good," I said, my steel-gray eyes narrowing. "Lead the way." Chris pulled a silver key from his pocket and led me down the quiet, carpeted hallway. He stopped in front of a heavy wooden door at the far end. Before sliding the key into the lock, Chris paused. He turned to face me, his dark amber eyes filled with a heavy, uncomfortable shadow. "Anna," Chris said softly, hesitation clear in his voice. "Before you go in... I need to warn
Her thirst for vengeance Talking about Sarah
Anna’s povI was basically yelling at Chris now. "Sarah barely smiles anymore, Chris," I said, my voice cracking as the anger turned into raw, aching heartbreak. "You are her father! How can you stand by and watch Lily strip away everything that made Sarah special? How can you let her isolate our child?"Chris stood completely still. He stared down at me, looking at the pure pain in my steel eyes.I prepared myself for him to fight back. I expected him to defend Lily, to shout at me, to tell me I had no rights here because I was banished. I braced my body, ready to scream at him, ready to fight with everything I had.Instead, Chris let out a long, shuddering breath.The harsh, arrogant mask on his face completely crumbled. He looked tired, older, and deeply regretful."You're right," Chris said softly.I blinked, completely stunned. My brain froze. "What?""You're right, Anna," Chris repeated, his voice quiet and heavy with emotion. "I've been so focused on the war, on the borders, on
Her thirst for vengeance My daughter
Anna’s povI sat on the edge of my small bed, staring at the folded piece of thick parchment in my hands.The red **X** marked directly over my daughter’s bedroom burned into my retinas.*The Alpha's distraction is complete. Proceed with stage two tomorrow night.*My first instinct last night had been to run straight to Chris, to shove this paper in his face, and demand he lock down the entire house. But as the cold morning light filtered through the dusty window, my rational mind kicked in.There truly was a mole in this pack house, someone high enough to know guard rotations and secure layout maps. Chris was blindly trusting the people around him. If I handed this map to him, it could instantly alert the traitor that we knew. I couldn't trust Chris to handle this safely. Not yet.I carefully slid the parchment into a hidden zippered pocket inside my tactical bag.I pulled out my phone and tapped the screen. Nothing. No missed calls, no texts from Dorian after our explosive argument
