Beg Me, Alpha: The Plus-Sized Queen's Return Perfect Smile
NeraldaCasting day at the fashion house always filled the corridors with the smell of hairspray, hot lamps, and the nervous perfume of a hundred girls who believed that one afternoon could rewrite their lives.I had stopped attending the preliminary rounds years earlier, because my presence made the applicants forget how to walk, but the Paris show was too important to leave to anyone else's judgement. Caroline sat beside me behind the long white table with a tablet balanced on her knee, scrolling through portfolios while I watched the girls glide across the polished floor one after another.I had slept barely three hours since the night of the vault, and the coffee in my cup had gone cold long before I thought to taste it."The agency pushed this next one through the final round without a trial, and the notes say that she comes with a personal recommendation from the talent division of Prattville Holdings," Caroline said, lowering her voice until only I

LucyThe cook at the big house had taught me how to bake oatmeal cookies, and I had made thirty of them that morning with raisins pressed into the tops like tiny dark eyes.I wrapped twelve in a napkin tied with a ribbon, because my mother had always said that a gift carried in both hands feels warmer than a gift carried in one, and I walked down the stone steps toward the cellar with my heart thumping against my ribs.Neralda had given me permission to visit the vault only after I promised to stay on the near side of the steel bars, and only after Valentine agreed to wait outside the door with his arms folded and his jaw tight. She had knelt in front of me while she explained the rule, and her eyes had looked tired and old in a way that made me want to hug her."She is a dangerous woman, Lucy, and I do not want her to say anything that hurts you, so you must walk away the moment she begins to be cruel," Neralda had told me.I had nodded solemnly,

SebastianThe seer's instructions had been written on three sheets of pale birch bark, and the first line, which I had read so many times that the ink had begun to blur beneath my thumb, ordered me to reach the northern border stones at the exact hour when the moon stood half hidden behind the mountain.I had left Northridge before dawn with Rowan and four of the quietest warriors I owned, telling the pack that I was inspecting the frontier forts and telling Zara that I would be gone for three days on council business. She had kissed my cheek with such sweet relief that I almost pitied how badly she concealed it, and I drove out through the gates with three stolen ledgers still sewn into the lining of my coat.The road ended at the foot of a mountain where the pines gave way to a forest of white birches, so pale and so tightly packed that the whole slope looked like a ghost standing upright.Mist hung between the trunks in slow grey ribbons, and every sound we made seemed to fall into

MarthaI did not sleep that night, and I did not intend to, because a woman who has survived thirty years of conspiracy learns to feel the shape of danger through the soles of her feet.Zara had locked herself in her tower with a bottle of wine and a fury that made the servants whisper, and David had retired early with a smile that I did not believe for a moment. I wandered the dark corridors of Sebastian’s house in my dressing gown, listening to the groan of old timbers and counting the minutes until the household settled into silence.Past midnight, I passed the kitchen and noticed a thin line of light beneath the pantry door, and something about its steadiness made me stop.I pressed my ear against the wood and heard the soft, frantic tapping of a woman typing with both thumbs.I opened the door slowly, and Stephanie turned toward me with a phone clutched against her chest and a face as white as flour. She had been crouched among the sacks of grain with her knees drawn up, and the s

NeraldaCaroline gave me the guest suite on the third floor without asking a single question, and she stayed only long enough to leave a pot of tea on the nightstand and a blanket folded across the foot of the bed.I sat in the darkness with Caelan sleeping warm against my side and Lucy curled in the armchair, and I listened to the old house settling around us like a ship in a heavy sea.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw my own face reflected in the glass of the nursery window, hollow and furious, and the empty basin of the fountain beyond it.The tea smelled of chamomile and honey, and I could not bring myself to drink a drop.It was the smell that did it, because chamomile and honey had been the scent of every evening in Martha's house, a steaming cup placed at my elbow each night with the same thin smile. She had called it a tonic for nerves, and she had watched me drink every drop with the patience of a woman watching a pot she knew was about to boil.I sat very still with the cu

ElecAndrew found the observer's nest at dawn, a hollow among the rafters of the abandoned barn where someone had lain for hours with a pair of binoculars and a thermos of tea.The tea was still faintly warm when he held his palm against the metal, and the binoculars had been left carefully on a folded handkerchief, as though the owner wanted us to know that leaving had been a choice. There were no fingerprints, no footprints in the mud, and no scent beyond a faint ghost of jasmine that dissolved the moment I breathed it in."Whoever watched Caelan from this roof was not afraid of being caught, and I think they wanted us to find these," Andrew said grimly, holding up the binoculars."Then they want us frightened, and we will not give them that gift," I answered, though my hand shook as I took the lenses from him.I walked back to the main house through the grey morning with the memory of Caelan's small silhouette burned across my eyes. The fountain water had fallen back into its basin
