Loriah’s POV

“Come on, Loriah, it will be worth it.”

That was Claire’s line—the one she used when she wanted to push me past my hesitations. In five years, she’d acquired an unmistakable British accent. She claimed I had too, though mine was faint and came out mostly in interviews. I cultivated it on purpose. The less American I sounded, the fewer questions I had to answer about my past.

“I’m not sure,” I sighed, twisting the cap off my water. Claire was my manager and one of the best in t

  • Alpha’s Little Plaything    112. My Queen

    Roan’s POV We stayed awake for hours afterward, simply talking. Brea lay curled against my chest while we shared pieces of ourselves little by little, learning everything about each other lives. reconnecting our souls. I told her stories from my childhood—about growing up with Ana, about the trouble Damian and I used to get into, about my mother's tenderness and greatness. She paid attention, she listened. Sometimes she would laugh at my antics. Goddess, I would burn kingdoms just to keep hearing that sound. I spoke about my parents too. About how deeply they had loved one another. About the emptiness my mother’s death left behind. Then she told me about herself. About the orphanage. About Sister Nora. About studying late into the night to become a lawyer. About Loriah and their sister bond. I listened to her voice until it became softer and softer with exhaustion. Until eventually, she fell asleep in my arms. I brushed a strand of hair away from he

  • Alpha’s Little Plaything    111. A Wolf’s Intuition

    Brea’s PoV Roan guided me back toward our private suite after my trip to the restroom. He had waited outside the entire time and even ordered one of the waitresses to remain inside with me. The gesture should have felt excessive. Instead… It made my heart ache in the strangest way. The way Roan cared for me was overwhelming at times. Protective. Constant. Absolute. I had never felt this safe before. Leon had loved me too, I knew he had. But whenever we fought or I became difficult, he would give me space, waiting patiently for me to calm down. Roan was the opposite. He inserted himself into every aspect of my life without hesitation, taking control so naturally it should have annoyed me. And Goddess help me… I didn’t mind it at all. “Now that you have your wolf, one of the things you need to understand is that she’ll alert you to danger,” Roan explained patiently as we walked back toward our table. “Never ignore that instinctive feeling. Your wolf senses t

  • Alpha’s Little Plaything    110. The Great Seasons

    Roan’s POV The moment Brea stepped out of the elevator, I knew I was completely screwed. She looked like heaven and sin. That red dress clung to her curves in a way that should have been illegal. Every movement she made caused the fabric to glide against her body so perfectly that it demanded attention, whether you wanted to stare or not. And Goddess help me… I definitely wanted to stare. Then she turned around. The sight of her creamy bare back sent a possessive growl rumbling through my chest before I could stop it. Without thinking, I shrugged off my jacket and draped it over her shoulders. "It’s getting chilly," I said, clearing my throat even though we werewolves aren't as sensitive to the cold. I had never considered myself the jealous type before. But seeing her dressed like that, knowing other men would look at her the way I was looking at her now… Yeah. Apparently, I was. “You look breathtaking, Brea.” I took her hand gently in mine and pressed a ki

  • Alpha’s Little Plaything    109. Hiding In Plain Sight

    Travis Pov I kicked an empty bottle across the dump Caspian and I had been hiding in for months. It clattered loudly against the wall before rolling to a stop. We were running out of money—fast. Our accounts were frozen. Every last one of them. And his family? They wanted nothing to do with him anymore. Fortunately, we had some funds stashed overseas under different names. Richard’s idea. But it wasn’t enough. Not anymore. “Why the hell did you have to kill Hawthorne?!” I snarled, pacing the room. “Marcus and Draco wouldn’t be hunting us like rabid wolves if you hadn’t!” “You were part of it too,” Caspian shot back without even looking at me, lazily flipping through TV channels. “Don’t forget—you helped me ambush him.” My jaw tightened. “Relax, Travis. Let’s go out tonight. Staying cooped up is getting to you,” Caspian said with a yawn, flipping lazily through the TV channels. “Easy for you to say,” I snapped. “I haven’t heard anything about Marla.” My mate

  • Alpha’s Little Plaything    108. Surrendering

    Brea’s POV That afternoon, Roan and I sat in his office reviewing documents related to properties his mother had left to him and his sister. Stacks of contracts and deeds covered the massive mahogany desk between us. “Was your mother from my country?” I asked, noticing that most of the properties were located in New York. “Yes,” Roan replied, leaning back slightly in his chair. “Charlotte Fern was her maiden name. Later, she became Carlota Espineda.” “There’s still a lot under the Fern estate,” I observed as I reviewed another file. “Your mother kept a strong connection to her roots. The name change would be an issue, but not impossible to fix." “She did,” he said quietly, his voice softer than usual. “She loved Liandor… but part of her heart always belonged to her birth place.” I glanced up from the papers. The tenderness in his expression caught me off guard. It was strange seeing this side of him. The fierce Alpha King who could make an entire room tremble wi

  • Alpha’s Little Plaything    107. At the Castle

    Roan’s PoV Is it wrong to feel jealous of a dead man? The shadow of Leon Hawthorne lingered between us like an ever-present ghost. To Brea, he had been her first love. Her safe place. Her ride or die. But to me? He was simply the man who failed her. She was kidnapped under his watch, and he failed to eliminate the people responsible. Instead, he got himself killed. Maybe that sounded cruel. But that was how I saw it. Because while Brea is with me, no harm would ever come to her again. When she had been kidnapped as a baby, I was only seven years old. There was nothing I could have done then. But now? Now I was more than capable of protecting what's mine. ~~~~~ The helipad sat atop the castle. After landing, I escorted Brea into the elevator and down to the main floor. Pamela and Regina were already waiting for us. “Roan, son, we were expecting you last week,” Pamela said, kissing both my cheeks. Regina immediately wrapped herself around my arm and ki

    Brea’s POV When I woke up, the first people I saw were a man and a woman. They looked to be in their forties, their faces etched with concern. I shot upright, fear gripping my chest—until I recognized the room. I was back at Draco’s pack. The woman approached me slowly, tears streaming down h

    Loriah’s PoV I looked at Brea, who had finally fallen asleep. She was exhausted. She hadn’t slept much since she was taken, only feeling safe enough to rest after I arrived. A stern-looking woman had brought us food at least twice. It seemed safe to eat. I’d offered some to Brea before she drifted

    Loriah’s POV Draco’s arm tightened around my waist as the music swelled, pulling me flush against him. His scent—dark, woodsy, achingly familiar—wrapped around me like a spell, making it impossible to think straight. Even though my heels, my forehead only reached his chin; I felt small and safe ye

    Draco’s PoV Greg was already there when the paramedics rushed Loriah into the ER. I tried to follow, but the doors slammed shut in my face, the red No Entry sign glowing like fire against my chest. “Wait outside, sir!” a nurse barked, shoving me back. My hands went to my hair, then my face, d
