Alpha Morano’s Scarlet Bride Chapter 14
MORANOI didn’t think. I just dived. The water hit me like a wall of ice, but my heart was a frantic, burning engine. She couldn't be dead. If I lost her now, my problems would be worse than they already are.My fingers clamped around her slim arms, ready to haul a corpse to the surface, but the moment I touched her, she thrashed. She shook so violently it felt like she’d just bolted awake from a nightmare. Her face broke the surface, gasping and wild, and when her eyes locked onto mine, she didn't look grateful. She looked lethal. “Let go of me! What are you doing?” she yelled, her voice a jagged blade in the quiet air.Relief washed over me so sharply it hurt, but it was gone in a heartbeat, replaced by a dark, suffocating fury. “Stay still, Jayla,” I growled. My voice was a low vibration that rumbled through the water between us.“No!” she snapped, struggling against my grip.I didn't give her a choice. I shoved my hands under her arms, my palms skimming the slick, wet heat of he

JACKLAThe words hung in the air, vibrating between us. I wanted to snatch them back the moment they left my lips. I didn’t even want him, yet my chest felt like it was being squeezed by hot pliers at the mere thought of another woman in his bed.Morano’s eyebrows shot up. A dark, slow chuckle rumbled in his chest, one that didn't reach his cold eyes. "Oh, so you're my wife now?" He walked to me, his massive frame casting a shadow over my plate. "A wife who is refusing to perform her marital duties?""I—that's not what I meant," I stammered. My face was burning so hot I was sure I was glowing. "I just meant... It's the principle. It’s disrespectful.""Disrespectful?" He tilted his head, his gaze dragging over the pulse jumping in my throat. "You claim you aren't mine, yet you're already staking a claim on my shadow. You want the title without the work, Jackla.""I don't want any of it!" I snapped, but the lie felt thin and brittle. "I just think you're... you're a pig.""Maybe.”“But

JACKLAI sat at the dining table, my skin still humming from how he had pressed himself against my bare back upstairs…forcing myself to chew on a piece of steak that felt like leather in my mouth. Around it, the spread was impressive…heaps of eggs, toasted bread, and bowls of fruit…but it all looked stale and grey to me. I had no appetite for anything this house provided.I pushed a piece around with my fork, stealing glances at Morano and Jake as they talked, my chest tight with a growing heat. We had been sitting here for over twenty minutes, and he still hadn't said the word I was waiting for. I had taken my time to help him, yet he sat there treating me like an object he had bought and forgotten in a corner. Why do I even bother? The thought was a bitter sting. Why was I so desperate to hear a "thank you" from a man who saw me as a breeder?I listened to them discuss the business strategy I had given him the other day. They laughed about how the plan was moving perfectly, but nei

JACKLA The bathroom steam followed me like a ghost as I stepped out, my skin bare and glistening. I never reached for a towel right away. I preferred the feeling of droplets sinking into my pores and the sharp bite of the morning air against my damp limbs. It was the only time I felt like I truly belonged to myself. But deep inside, a familiar rot was spreading. A cold warning curled in my chest, tightening around my ribs until it was hard to draw a full breath. It was that feeling again..,the echo of a nightmare I thought I had buried years ago. In those dreams, I wasn’t a girl. I was a storm of blinding light, a jagged streak of white-hot power that turned everyone who chased me into ash. The visions had been gone for a long time, but last night, they came back to life, sharper and more violent than ever. I looked at my hands and watched the slight tremor in my fingers. What am I? The question clawed at the back of my throat, demanding an answer I didn’t have. Why did this same

MORANOThe previous morning burned in my brain like a hallucination. I woke up feeling as if my bones had been ground into dust and poured back into my skin. When Jake’s face finally blurred into focus above me, my lungs felt like they were inflating for the first time in centuries. I was alive, but only by a razor’s edge.I had thought he was dead. Relief hit me so hard I almost choked on it. I wanted to pull him into a celebratory hug, but the urge to punch him for scaring me was stronger.“Where the fuck were you, you useless prick!” I snarled.The shout was a jagged mistake. A white-hot blade of agony sliced through my abdomen, stealing my breath. I clawed at the bedsheets, my hand instinctively flying to the fresh bandages. I could feel the poison. They had dug the silver out of me, but the metal had already left its mark. Silver was a slow, agonizing rot that didn't give a damn about my Alpha blood. My body wasn't knitting back together…it was fighting a war it was losing.My

JACKLAMy hand left his wound and traveled up his arm, my fingers digging slightly into his locked bicep. I didn’t pull away from his grip on my neck; I leveraged it, using the proximity to breathe my demands straight into his mouth.“I'm still waiting for the condition, Little Foxy. What is it you really want?" he whispered, his dark eyes burning with a fever that was eating him alive from inside out.“You drop the act. You stop trying to stand here like a statue and sit the fuck down before you collapse. You admit that you’re in pain, right now, in front of me. And you will let me do exactly what I need to do to fix you, without a single growl or Alpha bullshit. For the next hour, your pride belongs to me.”He raised a dark brow, a rough, mocking sound catching in his throat. “That doesn’t sound like one condition. Why should I listen to you? Why should I let those hands anywhere near me?”“Do you want to feel better or not?” I scoffed, my gaze dropping to his mouth. He was trembling
