LOGINDECLAN
I hated this. Hated the fact that I was an omega now more than ever. I pulled against the chains holding me down, hoping that it’ll break or something, but none of that was happening. I wasn’t at my full strength, but I knew that even if I was, these binds weren’t going to budge. A part of me screamed to kill him—to tear him limb from limb with my claws, to drive a knife into the smug bastard's chest and actually complete the job of killing him. But my body, the traitorous, untrustworthy shit, melted at his touch. It hurt for him, pulsing in rhythm with each stroke of his fingers on my burning skin. He was right. The heat was suffocating me and if I didn’t let him complete the bind, I was going to die. Pathetic. I really didn’t envision myself dying in such a humiliating way. I despised him for it. Despised that my pride had to fight against instincts that didn’t care about who he was or what he’d done to my family. The only thing my body understood at that very moment was that he was a virile Alpha and it craved him. Badly. The chains rattled above me, cutting into my wrists as I strained against the sheets. My body ached, my cock throbbed, and my hole clutched at nothing. The emptiness there was driving me crazy and I was panting, sweat beading on my skin, stray strands of my brown hair sticking to my face. My legs trembled with unfulfilled need. He'd left me like this. Spread and exposed. Taunting me from across the room, and smoking that damned cigar as if this was some fucking game. The sweet taste of the cigar lingered on my tongue and my hole clenched involuntarily. "Bastard," I snarled. Rhett turned and walked towards me again, the cigar jammed into his mouth, his shirt open to display a hard, scarred chest and abs chiseled from hard work and war. His green eyes shone softly in the dim light, feral and hungry. "You're drooling, little wolf," he said, crouching in front of me. A low growl escaped my lips. He drew the cigar from his mouth, and held it to mine again. "Take a hit." I hesitated, my lips trembling and then I took the cigar and inhaled. Sweet and bitter smoke flooded my lungs and my head became foggier than it already was. He smiled, rubbing a finger down my jaw. "You hate me," he said. "Say it." "I hate you." "Good. That makes this more enjoyable." And then he kissed me. Hard. I nipped his bottom lip. He growled and shoved me back onto the bed again. His hand wrapping around my throat in a dominant and forceful hold that made my dick weep a little more. "If you want to play," he growled, his voice low, "you'd better learn to take it too." And then I felt two fingers in me, stretching me wide open and fucking me with brutal thrusts that had me pushing my ass into his hands. Uncontrollable moans escaped my lips. He spat on my asshole, rubbing the wetness around the nubby hole and then, I felt it. No warning. No hesitation. The head of his dick rubbed against my hole and he began to push in. I reluctantly opened up to him. I wasn’t used to this intrusion, at least not one of his size. He kept pushing, harder and harder, until finally, I felt him enter me completely. My eyes rolled to the back of my head in unadulterated pleasure. I couldn’t concentrate on anything, just the wild, brutal thrust of his cock breaking me open. I screamed—not in pain, not exactly—in shock. In rage. In unimaginable need. My back arched into him despite my protests. My hips rocked forward, meeting him thrust for thrust. He clamped his hands on my hips and slammed into me again, harder, deeper. The bed creaked between us, the headboard slamming into the wall as he took me with every thrust. "You feel that?" he growled. "You feel how perfect you are around me?" "Shut up!" He laughed and pulled out all the way. I shrieked in rage. "Beg." "No!" He bit down on my chin, turning my face around to look into his eyes. "Tell me, Declan. Tell me you want it." "I want to kill you," I said with a sarcastic smile. My hole clenched around nothing and my ire increased. I needed him back in me. He kissed me once more, one filled with tongue and teeth as we fought for dominance. And then I felt the chains drop to the bed as he maneuvered me onto my front and drove into me once more. I screamed this time, my head crashing into the pillow as he buried deep his cock deep, the head rubbing against my prostate until I was writhing in unbridled pleasure. "Rhett!" I screamed out. "There he is," he growled lowly, before increasing his pace. I clawed the sheets. I bit the pillow. I did whatever I could not to give in. But I was lost. My orgasm ripped through me like a blade. It hit me with a ferocity that I wasn't prepared for. Cum covered the sheets below me, a white stain against the silk red. I sobbed with the fervor of it, with the shame, with the humiliation. He didn’t stop. He went on, even as I trembled and whimpered and pleaded in broken sounds. He fucked me through it, biting my shoulder, leaving possessive bruises on my hips. And when he finally came, he did so deep inside me, with a growl like that of a feral beast in my ear. I felt the bond spark anew and it was like lightning at the edges of my eyes. It tethered us tighter. I didn’t want us close. He collapsed over me, panting, his mouth skimming the base of my neck. We didn't say anything for several minutes. Only the sound of our breathing, and the softly clinking chains as I struggled not to let out a scream of rage. The worst thing was that this was going to go on for a while until the bond was completely created. I could already feel another heat. At last, he shifted and rolled off me, releasing my wrists. I wrapped myself up in a ball, pulling the covers over my body. He didn't touch me. He just sat on the edge of the bed, and took another drag off the discarded cigar after relighting it. "Get some rest," he said. "Don't talk to me." He didn't say anything. I stared at the ceiling, my heart racing, my body sore, my soul shattered. And all I could think was: I need to escape. But a part of me thought something worse. Something I could help but think. I want him again.Rhett's POVI sat behind my desk in the study, a cigar slowly burning between my fingers, the smoke curling upward into the soft light of the chandelier. The silence was heavy, too heavy, the kind that gnawed at my mind and forced me to think even when I didn’t want to. Killian stood to my right, stiff as a soldier waiting for orders, while Nikolai sat across from me, legs crossed, his sharp gaze fixed on Killian like he’d been holding back questions for too long.Nikolai broke the silence first. His voice was calm, precise, but I caught the edge underneath. “Killian… are there new updates I might have missed? You’ve been spending more time outside these walls than me.”Killian’s jaw flexed as he looked at me briefly before turning to Nikolai. “Yes. Updates. Information I should’ve given you sooner, but I wanted confirmation before bringing it here.” He took a breath. “Declan is not who he pretends to be. He’s a southern assassin.”The words cracked through the room like a whip. I did
Declan's POVThe ride from the hospital to Rhett’s mansion had felt like a blur, a restless storm in my chest the whole way. My body still ached from the wounds, the slash on my thigh throbbing every time the car hit a bump, but what gnawed at me more was the suffocating way Rhett had demanded my discharge. He hadn’t given me a choice, hadn’t given the doctors room to breathe, and I hadn’t been able to fight him off, not when he was so determined to keep me under his watch.Now, back in the mansion, I moved through the familiar hallways like a ghost. The polished wood, the expensive artwork, the carefully arranged furniture—it all screamed of Rhett’s power, his control, but to me, it was just another cage. A gilded cage, but a cage nonetheless.The first thing I did was head upstairs to my room. I shed the hospital clothes, stripped down, and stood under the shower until the water ran pink around the drain. The heat stung my stitches, but I welcomed it. It reminded me I was still aliv
Rhett's POV The corridor was suffocating, full of shadows, heavy with whispers I couldn’t silence. Killian’s words still rang in my head, but I shoved them aside as I gripped the door handle to Declan’s ward and pushed my way back inside. The room smelled of disinfectant and blood, that bitter combination that made my stomach tighten. Declan was half propped up on his pillows, eyes heavy-lidded but alert the moment they caught mine. He tried to straighten, tried to look less fragile than he was, but I wasn’t fooled. I crossed the room in three strides, my chest still burning with anger. I sat on the edge of his bed and took his hand, forcing my voice to stay steady. “You’re not staying here,” I said immediately, not bothering with a preamble. Declan frowned, his brows knitting together. “What do you mean?” “I mean you’re being discharged today. Now.” My grip on his hand tightened as if to anchor him to the words. “This place isn’t safe. The assassin got in once, killed a doctor,
Rhett's POV I was in my office, the weight of paperwork stacked in front of me feeling heavier than usual. The day had been long, and all I wanted was a brief moment of silence to gather myself, but that luxury didn’t last. My phone buzzed sharply against the desk, and when I glanced at the screen, my stomach sank. It was the hospital director. Something about the timing, about the way my gut twisted before I even picked up, told me it wasn’t good news. I pressed the phone to my ear, and his voice came in fast, urgent, and laced with panic. “Alpha Rhett, I—I’m sorry to disturb you like this, but there’s been an incident at the hospital. An assassin infiltrated. A doctor was killed.” For a moment, I didn’t breathe. My knuckles went white against the desk as I forced the words to settle in. An assassin. In the hospital. A doctor dead. “Repeat that,” I demanded, my voice low, clipped, too calm for the storm already breaking inside me. “A masked intruder got into the ward area. One
Third person POV The hospital at night carried a strange stillness, the kind that was almost suffocating when paired with the beeping machines and muted hum of fluorescent lights. Zev had been drifting in and out of consciousness for hours, his body weak, stitched and bandaged after the ambush that had nearly cost him his life. His throat was dry, his limbs heavy, but his mind never fully allowed him to rest. Shadows lingered in every corner of the ward, and paranoia gnawed at the edges of his thoughts. He knew better than most that danger did not vanish simply because he was lying in a hospital bed. A faint sound brought him from the haze of half-sleep—so soft that at first he thought he imagined it. The shift of weight on a tile, the faint brush of fabric against metal. His eyes opened slowly, and though his body begged him to stay still, his instincts screamed otherwise. The faint light from the monitor reflected off something metallic near the door. A silhouette slipped inside—
Nikolai POV The suit felt a little too stiff against my shoulders, as if it were reminding me that I’d spent days lying in a hospital gown instead of walking around like a functioning human being. I stood in front of the mirror, tugging the lapels until they sat neatly. The crisp white shirt underneath, the deep navy tie I knotted perfectly—it was all deliberate, the image of composure I knew everyone would expect the moment I stepped foot into the company office. I exhaled slowly, running a hand through my hair, pushing the last stray strands back. I was Rhett’s secretary, his right hand in everything administrative, and I couldn’t afford to walk in looking like I had barely survived a hospital bed. People would watch me, weigh my every movement, and judge how much weakness clung to me. I needed them to see strength, resilience, maybe even a little arrogance. That always kept them on their toes. As I left the mansion and slid into the back of the waiting car, I could already feel
