CHAPTER 44: A SURPRISING EMBRACE

JORDAN:

“That's impossible,”

The moment the words left my mouth, Catherine looked like someone had unplugged the last bit of hope inside her.

Her shoulders dropped.

Her eyes shut tight.

She let out a long, quiet breath, like she was trying to search her brain for another solution but kept coming up empty.

Spark lost it immediately.

“You heartless jerk!” he snapped.

“She needs help, not problems!”

“You’re supposed to protect her, not make her cry again!”

  • ALPHA JORDAN'S DARK OBSESSION    THANK YOU, DADDY

    CHAPTER 152: THANK YOU, DADDY JORDAN:I knew exactly why Catherine was drowning herself in that wine. She thought she was being slick, but I’m a Canon—nothing happens in my house, in my company, or even in my territory without me knowing. You can't be a CEO Alpha and leave yourself vulnerable. Otherwise, your enemies would make mincemeat of you.So, the second her shaky fingers touched the doorknob to the East Wing, my phone buzzed in my pocket during a board meeting. I had sensors on every restricted door in the mansion. Then, one of my guards sent a message to confirm Catherine had seen the "beast." He told me he’d spooked her good so she wouldn’t go back, but I could see the ghost of that fear still haunting her eyes.And telling Grant I was never gonna settle down added salt to the injury. I watched her take another sip, her hand trembling slightly. Seeing that creature should even be the least of her problems. If she knew her mother was dying, she would fall apart. I stared at

  • ALPHA JORDAN'S DARK OBSESSION    GETTING ENGAGED

    CHAPTER 151: GETTING ENGAGED CATHERINE:The ride to the restaurant was quiet, but it wasn't a peaceful kind of quiet. Jordan kept his hand locked over mine the whole way, his grip firm, but his eyes were fixed on the road like he was a million miles away. Seeing Jordan so brooding made me wonder if something else was eating at him. Because he wasn't this way a few moments ago when we had arrived at the hospital.We pulled up to a place called The Gilded Talon. It was a five-star spot that screamed old money and power. When we stepped inside, I almost lost my breath. The ceiling was draped in gold-leaf moldings, and massive crystal chandeliers hung down like frozen rain, casting a warm, shimmering glow over everything. The floors were polished white marble, and the walls were lined with velvet curtains the color of deep wine. It was beautiful, but it felt like a cage—a very expensive, very shiny cage.Jordan led me to a VIP booth in the back, tucked away from the main crowd. A wait

  • ALPHA JORDAN'S DARK OBSESSION    ARE YOU GIVING US YOUR BLESSINGS?

    CHAPTER 150: ARE YOU GIVING US YOUR BLESSINGS?JORDAN:I parked the SUV in the VIP slot at St. Jude’s, feeling the weight of the evening ahead. Beside me, Catherine looked radiant in that forest green dress. It hugged her in all the right ways, making my possessive instincts flare up every time a passerby dared to look her way. We walked through the sliding glass doors into the sterile, white-walled reception area.I signaled for Catherine to wait a second and stepped up to the nurse’s station. I leaned in and whispered to the head nurse, a woman I’d already personally "incentivized" with a heavy donation to the hospital’s wing. "I need five minutes alone with Mrs. Blackwood. Get Catherine out of the room once we’re up there. Make up an excuse about paperwork or medical history."The nurse gave a quick, professional nod. "Understood, Mr. Canon."When I walked back to Catherine’s side, she had her arms crossed, her brow furrowed in a deep frown. "What was that about?" she asked, her ey

  • ALPHA JORDAN'S DARK OBSESSION    AS LONG AS YOU DON'T BETRAY ME

    CHAPTER 149: AS LONG AS YOU DON'T BETRAY ME CATHERINE:The heavy door creaked open, and I didn't even have to look up to know who it was. The air in the room got ten degrees colder the second she stepped inside. Eve, the maid with the permanent scowl, marched in with a silver tray. She obviously brought my lunch.“Not again,” I grunted under my breath, my skin crawling. Part of me wanted to snap at her, to ask why she opened the door without waiting for my response. I wanted to ask her why she was so hell-bent on making me feel like garbage, but I remembered what Jordan said about being an Alpha’s woman. I wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of seeing me ruffled. I ignored her completely, staring at the blank TV screen like it was the most interesting thing in the world. She slammed the tray down on the table, the silverware clinking aggressively, then turned on her heel and marched out without a word.I sighed, finally letting my shoulders drop. I really didn't get what this

  • ALPHA JORDAN'S DARK OBSESSION    DISCOVERING THE MONSTER

    CHAPTER 148: DISCOVERING THE MONSTER CATHERINE:After I finished that breakfast, I took the empty dish back to the kitchen and washed it. Then I came back to the room and ended up drifting back to sleep. My body was still coming down from the high of last night, and the bed felt like a cloud. When I finally woke up, the soreness between my legs had settled into a dull, manageable ache, but the silence in the room was starting to drive me crazy. I was bored out of my mind.I thought about calling Zoe so we could chat, but I changed my mind as soon as I picked up the phone. Zoe is my girl, but she’s got a nose for drama. She’d want the play-by-play of everything Jordan did to me, and I just wasn't ready to talk about the BDSM stuff or how I’d practically begged him to take me. It felt too private, too heavy to talk about while I was still under his roof.Instead, I scrolled through social media for a bit. It was a total wasteland. No sizzling gossip, no events that didn't look fake, ju

  • ALPHA JORDAN'S DARK OBSESSION    DIANA AT IT AGAIN

    CHAPTER 147: DIANA AT IT AGAIN JORDAN:I walked into the office this morning feeling lighter than I had in years. It was a weird, unsettling kind of contentment that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I’ve had sex before—plenty of it. I’ve taken virgins before, too; I’ve defiled more than a few in my time without a second thought. But last night? Last night felt like I’d finally found my missing rib.For years, I’ve been a man driven by pure, unadulterated hate. I’ve hunted rogues, killed scores of them, and wiped out entire nests just to avenge Arcie’s death. I never would’ve guessed in a million years that the Moon Goddess was going to hand me one of those "monsters" as my second-chance mate. It's so ironic.Last night felt like a breath of fresh air. I fucked her like a man possessed, marking every inch of Catherine's skin like I was planting a flag on new territory. She was mine. Period. No going back.I sat down at my desk and flipped open my laptop, ready to bury myself in the
