Lucas's POV

Monday had the ugly habit of showing up three times a week. By the time I parked in front of Blackwood Enterprises, the taste of burnt espresso was already a memory, and my inbox’s death rattle echoed from the passenger seat. I left the car running, like maybe if I was quick I could finish the day and leave myself idling in the lot, untouched by meetings and small talk and whatever crisis the interns had manufactured overnight.

I was through the sliding doors before the security guard had time to finish his “good morning, Mr. Blackwood.” The lobby was just as I’d left it: the walls were all sterile glass, the floor was marble, and the ceilings were so high that voices drifted up and died before they could reach you. An elevator opened just as my shoes left the rug. If I believed in luck, I’d have called it a sign. I didn’t.

By the time I reached the 37th floor, my phone had vibrated eight times. I ignored each one. Let the fires burn. Maybe the building would smell better i

  • Alpha’s Dark Redemption    Someone like Lucas Blackwood

    Selina's POVLydia Skyes had the kind of face you wanted to slap, but only after you took a minute to be impressed by how painstakingly she’d curated the effect. Bone structure worthy of genetic engineering. Brows shaped like punctuation marks. And the lipstick—a suffocating fuchsia that made you wonder if she’d dipped her mouth in a vat of Barbie gore. She smiled at me, wide enough to threaten the seams of her cheeks. I was half-convinced she’d had her molars replaced with pearls or something more expensive.Her dog, a pocket-sized white gremlin with the posture of a hungover debutante, wore an actual Louis Vuitton slip dress, so meticulously fitted that the tag was visible, like a threat. Lydia held the dog as if she expected it to begin reciting investment tips, or maybe it already had. The animal’s black, tarry eyes scouted the room for someone more interesting than its owner and, finding none, settled on Vera. The feeling was not mutual.Vera, my assistant, greeted this performan

  • Alpha’s Dark Redemption    Hello Miss Carter

    Selina's POVI don't know if I'm starting to hate mornings since I saw Lucas with a woman or what. It started with the ice in my veins, not the kind that signals a proper meltdown, but something subtler. I spent mornings with my head burrowed between the pillow and the wall, letting Jonathan’s steady breathing behind me provide the white noise for the thoughts I refused to touch. I convinced myself I was merely tired, not drowning in acid jealousy. Not that. I’d never had the taste for it. My mother once said the only thing worth envying was perfect skin and an unshakable mind. I had both, at least until I saw Lucas with her.She was nothing remarkable, which made it worse. Some caramel-skinned waif in gym wear, tossing her head back at the coffee cart while Lucas hunched, massive in a suit that didn’t belong to any season, trying to look small and approachable. She made him laugh—a rare, non-ironic version—and my gut twisted. The moment replayed itself on a feedback loop, bitter and

  • Alpha’s Dark Redemption    Are you jealous

    Selina’s POVHe looked like a ghost at the threshold—soaked in rain and regret, dripping water onto my floor like some tragic figure from a gothic romance. And I hated that my heart still stuttered when I saw him. Lucas, the man who ripped me in half and left the pieces behind like litter on a battlefield.I set my fork down slowly and deliberately, my eyes never leaving his.“Lucas,” I said, the word sharp and clean, like the edge of a blade.He didn't answer right away. He just stood there in his tailored suit, dark hair plastered to his forehead, a storm in his eyes, and a thousand unspoken apologies trembling on his tongue. My wolf rose at the sight of him, furious and feral and pathetically drawn to the scent of mate even now.Jonathan leaned back in his chair, one arm slung casually over the backrest like he belonged here, like he’d always belonged here. His gaze was fixed on Lucas, but the smile that curved his mouth was meant for me. Possessive. Daring. Mocking.“You’re wet,”

  • Alpha’s Dark Redemption    Pull Over

    Lucas's POVI drummed my fingers against the polished mahogany table, watching as the other alphas gathered their papers and exchanged final pleasantries. The meeting had dragged on for hours, each minute stretching like pulled taffy as we debated territory lines and hunting rights. My head throbbed with the beginnings of a migraine. It wasn't until everyone began filing out that I remembered I'd sent Grant home early—a decision I was now regretting as I contemplated the long journey back to my pack lands without my Beta or his car."You fuck so well, Blackwood."The voice slid into my ear like warm honey laced with poison. I didn't need to turn to know who it belonged to. LydiaSykes—Alpha of the North Side Pack—stood behind me with her lips curved into what she probably thought was a seductive smile. Her perfume—too floral, too strong—invaded my senses, making my wolf bristle beneath my skin.I looked up at her, taking in the tight dress that she had now changed into that hugged her

  • Alpha’s Dark Redemption    I won't make you beg

    Lucas's POVLydia met me at the edge of the room, her smile sharp enough to draw blood. Up close, she was taller than I remembered—maybe even taller than me in her boots—and her eyes were a flinty blue that dared me to blink. She wore a suit, too; only hers looked like it had been custom-tailored to fit over a bomb.“I expected you to duck out early,” she said, dropping her voice so the others couldn’t hear. “You never struck me as the civic duty type.”I let my eyes sweep the length of her, slow and deliberate. “You don’t know me that well.”She stepped in too close, her hair catching the edge of my tie. “I’d like to.”Behind her, Grant coughed. I could feel his gaze burning a hole in the back of my head. “If you two are going to fuck, can you do it somewhere that’s not on my watch?”Lydia flicked her gaze at him and then back to me. “Cute. He always plays chaperone?”“Only when I’m in trouble.” I smirked at her, then turned to Grant. “Go on ahead. I’ll catch up.”Grant’s face twiste
