Iliana’s POV:

My eyes snapped open. A scream erupted in the air. It wasn’t his. It was mine.

He, on the other hand, was utterly and eerily silent. Not even a scream, not even a hiss. He was standing still as if the last few minutes never happened.

I had stabbed him. I had stabbed my stalker. Oh God, what the fuck did I do. Why did I do it? How could I kill a living being?

A sob wretched out of me, and my eyes watered as I shook my head, “No. No no no. It can’t be.”

All types of evil thoughts started reeling through my mind. Would I ever be able to believe in court that I did it in self-defence? How would I prove that he intruded into my apartment? Police already thought that I was exaggerating. Oh God…

Cold sweat slicked down my back. My fingers trembled around the knife. With my other hand, I gripped the counter to keep myself from collapsing.

And then, the world slowed down around me when his hand moved from my cheek to my hand holding the knife that was still plunged into his chest.

A low, chilling chuckle filled the air between us as he tightened his hold over my hand. “You are afraid,” he sounded almost surprised and amused as if he had unlocked the greatest mystery of all time.

Before I could process anything, my eyebrows dipped into a deep frown as he slowly slid the knife out of his chest without so much as a wince of pain. More blood pooled out of a gaping hole in his chest. Nausea rose in my throat.

Anyone else would be grunting and howling in agony, but this man didn’t even show a speck of damage done to him. He kept standing upright as if it were a needle that pricked his skin instead of a large, sharp knife.

I loosened my grip on the knife, all ready to let go of the weapon that was going to be used against me in the court.

But to my shock, he tightened his hold around mine. A shiver crawled up my spine, seeping deep inside me, infiltrating every cell of mine, paralyzing me from the inside out. What was going on in his mind?

His voice sounded exhilarating as he chuckled creepily, “Too bad that I now thrive on your fear, Little Muse.”

He didn’t give me time to process his words because the very next moment, he raised my hand in the air, and before my mind could even register it, he thrust the knife back into his chest with a sickening, wet squelch. Deeper this time.

A loud, sharp scream tore from my throat. I tried to crawl away from him, but caged between his body and the counter, I had nowhere to run to.

“What are you doing?” I asked in bafflement.

My shoulders shook as ugly sobs ripped out of me as he, once again, slid the knife out, only to be plunged right back into his chest as if tearing through a slab of raw meat.

Another shower of hot blood sprayed over my face, making me recoil in on myself. My head felt dizzy as if all the blood had drained out of me.

In short, ragged whispers, I begged him, “No…please…stop…don’t…” My voice died in my throat.

My fear seemed to fuel his entertainment because the only response to my desperate pleas was his low, guttural laugh, “You’re the one who started it, Iliana.”

I shook my head vehemently as he started sliding the knife out again. I tried to beg him, but the words got stuck in my throat.

Unable to take it anymore, my mind was shutting down to the terror unfolding in front of my eyes. My hold on the counter loosened. My knees buckled beneath my weight. My eyelids refused to stay open any longer.

Before I knew it, my body tumbled downward. I waited to thud to the hard floor, but instead, strong arms wrapped around my back before I hit the floor. The irony of him wanting to protect me didn’t go unnoticed by me.

But I was too exhausted to even think about that. My vision blurred before my eyes closed.

The last sound I registered was of the knife clattering to the floor before everything around me went silent, and darkness engulfed me whole.

    Iliana’s POV:Before I opened my eyes, the insistent buzzing of my phone tugged me from sleep. I stretched my body with a loud yawn, spine cracking, legs stiff.Another buzz.Eyes still clamped shut, I rolled over lazily, palms tapping blindly across the mattress as I searched my phone in between the sheets.As soon as my fingers touched the cold, hard surface, I gripped it tighter and dragged the phone toward me.My eyes fluttered open to a lit screen as another text rolled in. I blinked.5 missed calls and 9 messages. All from Thea.Rubbing my eyes, I tapped on the screen and started skimming through the messages.‘Yo bro, where are you?’‘Why aren’t you in the class yet?’‘Do NOT tell me you’re still snuggled up in bed while I’m suffering through this godforsaken lecture.’‘Oh God, don’t tell me your stalker has kidnapped you.’‘Do I need to alert the authorities?’‘Boring update: class has started.’‘Wait…was our Professor always this attractive, or am I just ovulating?’‘I guess

    Iliana’s POV:I let out a loud gasp as he moved like a flash of lightning.Cloaked in all black. Masked. Unmistakable.My stalker.Wrapped in smoke and shadow, he screamed danger. My mind told me to run away but my body…it betrayed me as I leaned into him instead.He moved like a thunder, fast and jarring. My eyes widened as his hand shot upward and seized the back of my neck.Fingers digging into my flesh, he twirled me around, pressed my back against his front, and clasped his fingers around my throat.Through the mirror, I saw him...towering over me like an angel of death. Beautiful, hot angel of death, indeed. The one who didn’t even need to ask to take my soul away. I would gladly hand it over to him.A cold shiver ran down my spine as he brought his mouth to my ear and growled, “You have been a bad girl tonight." His voice, deep and rough, cascaded around me like dark velvet.And then his voice dropped to a low, feral whisper, “Letting another man touch you? Bad, bad move.”My b

  • Alpha Maddox Is My Stalker   Chapter 14

    Iliana’s POV: The weekend passed by in a blurry haze. I stayed buried in my bed most of the time and only got out for a shower or food. As for my stalker…there was silence from him. He wasn’t lingering in the shadows. I didn’t feel eyes on me. There were no break-ins. Everything seemed too quiet...almost like normal. And that should be reason enough for peace and harmony in my life, but my mind was anything but. Every time I closed my eyes, THE KISS would flash behind my eyelids. The forbidden, searing, and passionate kiss. And then I’d keep thinking about how perfectly his lips moved against mine, and then my body would get all heated up. It was a continuous loop, and I was stuck in that. For once, I was glad that it was finally Monday. I needed every ounce of distraction I could get to clear my head of the lusty fog I was spiralling into. Heaving myself out of bed, I hopped into the shower and stood under the cold stream of water when his words played in my mind for the hundr

  • Alpha Maddox Is My Stalker   Chapter 13

    Iliana's POV:The first thing I registered was the piercing headache. It was so severe that it felt like someone was pounding a hammer straight into my skull. The second was the taste, bitter and foul on my tongue.I peeked one eye open, only to snap it shut again. The sunlight filtering through the window was blinding and too bright to look at.Letting out a loud groan, I rolled over, and the sudden movement made my head spin. I rubbed my temples, trying to soothe the ache, when it suddenly hit me.With a deep frown, my gaze shifted from my clothes to the comforter pulled over me to the bed I was in to the familiar walls of my room.Home?I blinked several times. How did I get here? What happened last night?I bolted upright on the bed, wincing as nausea twisted in my gut. With my gaze fixated on the wall in front of me, I put pressure on my mind to retrieve the foggy memories of last night.And then, all of a sudden, my breath caught in my throat as the events of the last night star

  • Alpha Maddox Is My Stalker   Chapter 12

    Maddox’s POV:Her body was shutting down. I could feel it from the way her footsteps waggered, her skin trembled, and her eyes rolled back in their sockets – all in the same heartbeat.And then it happened, her eyelids drooped as her legs finally gave out.I lunged forward and wrapped my arm around her waist, catching her just before her knees could hit the floor hard enough to leave bruises.“Iliana,” I called her name dreadfully, but she remained unresponsive, collapsed in my arms.My pulse thundered in my arms as I realized how pale she had gotten. Fear–so raw, so foreign–gathered at the base of my spine.I’d witnessed wolves bleed out in warzones, I’d held countless dead bodies, hell, I’d even watched life seeping out of my father, but none of that ever clenched my chest the way this moment did.Wheels churned in my mind at full speed. Yes, she’d drunk a lot of alcohol tonight, but not enough to have this much effect. And then it finally hit me. That bastard, that fucking dipshit,
