Forget the facade of being a pretty girl with a good figure, thanks to my system I was able to learn even the hardest of combat skills and gain abilities, like ‘swift’ and ‘strength buffs.’

I did have to clear a few missions to earn points and buy these skills, but every dime of it was well damn worth it. Now, not even a veteran like Celestine was a match for me.

Celestine gasped, her breath catching violently in her throat as the joint in her wrist creaked under the pressure.

    ​I threw off the heavy blanket, slid my legs over the edge of the bed, and slipped my hand into his warm palm. His fingers instantly folded over mine, holding tight as he led me out into the cool, silent corridors of the sub-level compound.​The main floor was bathed in shadows, save for the low emergency strip lights lining the baseboards. The kitchen was completely empty, the stainless-steel appliances gleaming under the faint blue glow of the digital clock on the wall.​Lucien guided me to one of the high leather stools at the island, gently pressing down on my shoulder until I sat.​"Stay put," he commanded in a low purr.​He walked around the counter, opening the refrigerator and pulling out a covered plate of slow-roasted beef, rich gravy, and roasted vegetables that had clearly been set aside for dinner earlier.He popped it into the microwave, setting the timer before leaning his back against the counter, crossing his arms over his bare, tattooed chest while he watched me.For

  • Apocalypse Rebirth: Under The Mad Dog's Protection   Go to sleep, sweetheart

    The quiet click of the door lock breaking open barely registered in the dark room.​Lucien stepped inside, his broad shoulders carrying the weight of a long day spent managing supply lines and perimeter defenses. He pulled off his watch, tossing it onto the dresser, ready to collapse beside me—only for his dark, icy eyes to land on the bed.​The air in the room instantly dropped below freezing.​Daniel was sound asleep behind me, one arm locked securely around my waist, his nose buried into the warm crook of my neck. Meanwhile, I was fast asleep, completely unbothered, clutching a long, soft pillow tightly to my chest.​Lucien stood at the foot of the bed for five agonizing seconds. He didn't yell. He didn't draw a gun. Instead, a low, dangerous growl—almost silent, like a predator marking its ground—vibrated deep within his heavy chest.​He moved like a shadow.​Without a word, Lucien leaned over the bed, his massive hand clamping around Daniel’s shoulder with a grip tight enough to

Now, not even a veteran like Celestine was a match for me. Celestine gasped, her breath catching violently in her throat as the joint in her wrist creaked under the pressure. The sudden, terrifying speed of my movement had caught her entirely off guard, shattering whatever illusion she had that I was just a soft, helpless civilian riding the boss's coattails.​Her fingers twitched against the cold grip of her firearm, her pride warring furiously with the sharp pain shooting up her arm.​"Let go of me," she hissed, her teeth bared like a cornered animal.​"I said, take your hand off the grip," I repeated, my voice deathly quiet, applying just enough extra pressure to send a clear, u

  • Apocalypse Rebirth: Under The Mad Dog's Protection   Amber is very competent

    ​Celestine’s jaw clenched, but she complied, sliding a thin, encrypted tablet from her tactical vest and tossing it onto the kitchen island toward Daniel.​Daniel caught it effortlessly with one hand, his fingers slipping off my shoulders as he took a step back, tapping the screen with a lazy smirk. "Always a pleasure doing business with you, Carter," he drawled, casting her an infuriatingly pleasant wink.​Celestine ignored him completely. She took one last, long look at me—taking in my posture, my calm expression, and the absolute lack of fear in my eyes—before turning on her heel. Her boots sounded heavily against the polished floor as she headed back down the corridor, the doors closing behind her with a soft, pneumatic hiss.​The silence that followed was thick.​"Well," Daniel murmured, leaning against the counter and tossing the tablet onto the marble surface. "She seems delightful as always."​"She knows her place," Lucien said softly, his voice carrying a dangerous, low edg

  • Apocalypse Rebirth: Under The Mad Dog's Protection   Meet Celestine Carter

    ​The heavy reinforced doors at the end of the hall hissed open, and ​Lucien walked out first.​He was wearing a fitted black tactical shirt rolled up to his forearms, looking every bit the ruthless mob commander overseeing his domain. But the moment his dark, icy eyes swept across the room and locked onto me by the coffee machine, the coldness in his face melted into something smooth and possessive.​He didn't care that Daniel was standing right there. Lucien closed the distance between us with long, heavy strides, wrapping one massive arm around my waist and pulling me flush against his side.​Leaning down, he pressed a slow, lingering kiss right against the corner of my temple.​"Good morning," he rumbled, his voice dropping into that deep, gravelly register that vibrated right through my skin. "I didn't want to wake you while you were sleeping so soundly this morning. Hope you're not upset."​I looked up at him, a faint, easy smile tugging at my lips. "No, I'm not upset. Of course

  • Apocalypse Rebirth: Under The Mad Dog's Protection   You're A Delicious Snack

    When I woke up the next morning, the space beside me was already cold. The warmth on Lucien's side of the bed had completely vanished, leaving only the faint scent of cedar on the dark sheets.​I stretched, wincing slightly as a dull, satisfying ache hummed through my sore muscles.It seemed Lucien had to leave early. I couldn't blame him—he was the underground boss after all, and with a few days left on the clock, he had an entire empire to lock down.​I swung my legs over the side of the bed, and went straight for the bathroom. I rinsed my face, brushed my teeth and then walked out, gathering my hair, as I tied it up into a high ponytail. I grabbed a comfortable shirt and pants, and made my way downstairs.​The main floor was quiet, but as soon as my feet hit the bottom of the staircase, a low whistle echoed from the kitchen island.​Daniel was leaning casually against the counter, holding a mug of coffee, looking as infuriatingly relaxed as ever."Looking good, Fiesty. You look li
