Alpha's Caged Mate Alpha's Lament
“A glass of wine, if you would.” Ava jumped at the sudden voice, only to realize it was Liam Smith, Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, making the request. Ava tried to settle back into her skin but found it difficult to stem her trembling now that it had begun. “You’re shaking,” he said, probably wondering why some girl had wandered into his suite only to stand quaking by the door like a deer in headlights. Ava did her best to snap out of it, jerking toward a nearby bar cart. “My apologies, Mr. Smith.” His eyebrows rose, “Have we met? How could you tell I’m Mr. Smith in a room this full?” His tone was playful enough, but Ava was beginning to sweat. “Lucky guess?” She forced a small laugh that sounded strained even to her ears. There were probably a million excuses Ava could have made for guessing who her high-paying client was, but her thoughts were too frenetic to fall neatly into place.Ava felt like she was doing a terrible job of not bringing attention to he
Alpha's Caged Mate Confrontation Between Two Alphas
Ava stood in weighty silence, unsure of how to respond to what Liam had just revealed to her. She wasn’t used to people opening up to her – hell, at this point she wasn’t used to people speaking to her like a sentient being with feelings and opinions. Needless to say, Ava had no idea how to navigate sensitive subject matter. Did he want her to ask about his mate? Surely, he wouldn’t have brought it up if it weren’t a subject he was comfortable talking about. Right? “Is she…” Ava trailed off, opting to let him take the lead on the subject, so as to not accidentally offend. “She died,” He said, his words understandably clipped. “Rogues. She was a *marvelous* fighter. A real warrior up until the very end.” His words were heavy, prompting Ava to believe that there was so much more to the story he hadn’t said. Ava decided to back off. After all, she respected someone who’d clearly felt pain and just wanted to keep something close to themselves. “I’m so sorry for yo
Alpha's Caged Mate Conversation With Dylan
“Mail call!” Ava opened at her door to find Bella holding out a nondescript envelope with her name scrawled across it in neat script. A took the envelope and stepped aside, letting the madame into her room. She’d been in the middle of her daily workout. It had only been a week or two since she’d started her new routine, but Ava was already starting to see progress.Every couple of days, she found that she had the stamina to push herself a little farther, and the curvature of her bones were gradually being replaced by a lightly defined padding of muscle. A steady stream of calorie dense foods – curtesy of Bella – had done the trick of leveling her up from ‘gaunt’ to ‘thin’. The hallow frailty left by years of neglect were slowly but surely being wiped away, leaving Ava feeling amazing.She’d told herself not to think about it, but another reason Ava attributed to her good mood was the fact that she hadn’t seen Xavier in a while. Ever since she’d left him standing alone with his t
Alpha's Caged Mate Hate And Jealousy
“Whoring bitch.” Madison cursed under her breath as she watched the male and Ava walk away hand-in-hand. It was ridiculous how much attention Ava got, especially from someone as refined as Dylan Miller. What did that pasty, stick-think nobody have that she didn’t? Rickets? Consumption? Some other old timey disease that only affected whisper thin orphans on the streets of Charles Dickens novels. She was a shameless slut, just like the rest of Sutton’s ‘court’. Unlike everyone else, though, Ava didn’t even bother to pay her dues. Madison had been shilling drinks in a miniskirt in the godforsaken place since her freshman year – with a fake ID, of course. It had taken her *years* to earn a spot catering on the VIP floor. But three months of scrubbing toilets and suddenly Ava’s picking up the club’s most exclusive johns. It was honestly insulting! Especially since, apparently, the only dick Ava had to suck was Bella’s.Madison had it on good authority that in the time since
Alpha's Caged Mate Warn
Jealousy. That’s what this all boiled down to. Money, status, power…you didn’t have to be making world-altering decisions to covet those things. Everyone from national leaders to catty cocktail waitresses wanted the same things, in their own ways. If you were privileged enough to not have bigger things to worry about, that is. She almost couldn’t blame the girl for her envy. Ava got it; she really did. There had been plenty of times in high school where she’d been on the receiving end of bitter girls who coveted her relationship with Xavier. Just like there had been just as many times when she’d quietly seethed whenever Xavier’s eye turned on a female that wasn’t her. This song and dance were as old as time, and maybe it made Ava as self-centered as Madison clearly thought, but Ava felt so wholly removed from such trivial pettiness, it was all she could do to keep from laughing in the irate girl’s face. This was kiddy bullshit, to be frank. Madison clearly had no idea w
Alpha's Caged Mate A Mysterious Guest
Layla had once told Ava that the best way to survive a hostile environment was to blend in. The goal wasn’t to be one of the enemy, but if you convinced them you were one and the same, you were golden. It was one of the first lessons Ava had learned in the dungeon, and it had proven to be the most valuable. Don’t stand out. Don’t be special. Don’t be a hero. If Madison’s little pity party were to be believed, Ava hadn’t been doing a very good job of adhering to at least two of the three philosophies, despite her best efforts. If she was lucky, that was about to change. Ava slowly breathed in and out three times to steady her nerves. And when that didn’t work, she tried it again. Finally, she decided to hell with it, and pushed open the door to the court’s staffroom. She’d never been in the room before today, but Ava hadn’t realized until last night what a mistake that had been. She’d been so caught up in the whirlwind drama that was her life, that she had forg
Alpha's Caged Mate Gentleman
Ava nodded warily at the strange Alpha who already seemed to know her. She was certain she would recall if she had ever met him, even if it were only in passing. The raw magnitude of his aura was the sort that you didn’t easily miss, much less forget. The male stood and strode to meet her. Ava wouldn’t call herself an expert in men’s fashion by any means, but the clothes he wore looked expensive. Like, custom fit by a tiny family-owned tailor in Milan, expensive. The cut of the suit fit him perfectly, and the fabric seemed to mold to the curvature of his muscles without any of the stiff bunching that a regular suit might cause. Ava had gotten to know plenty of males with money recently and compared to the rest of flashy high-rollers she’d seen, this male’s money didn’t roar – it whispered. She wasn’t quite sure what that meant to her, but like everything else about this mysterious male, it put her off-center. Equal parts anxious and excited. “It’s a pleasure to meet yo
Alpha's Caged Mate Generosity
*Only a kiss*, he’d said. For some reason, the thought of kissing Noah Thomas rocked Ava off balance. Given what the male was paying her to do, and how much he was paying her to do it, a simple kiss shouldn’t be this unnerving to her. Even so, there was something about Noah that unsettled her, like a preternatural sense that read him and gave her goosebumps. The way he looked at her now, with utter gentleness and just a hint of lust…he moved her in a way she hadn’t expected and wasn’t ready for. She balked, stepping out of his intoxicating ozone. “Is that a part of our deal.” He shook his head once, firmly, “Nothing that you don’t want will be included in our deal, Ava. Like I said, I’m looking for a partner, not a slave.” “Sounds like you want a lady, then, Mr. Thomas. Not a whore.” “Ava,” his deep voice was sharp as obsidian. It was the first time she’d piqued his temper, but she knew from the tiny peek that the well ran deep than it first appeared.“It’s no
