My Fanged Billionaire Bodyguards

It was one of those rare, perfect Saturday mornings where the sky is a clear, brilliant blue and the world actually feels like it’s standing still. I sat there on the park bench, minding my own business, closing my eyes and letting the heavenly sun warm my skin. This was pure wonder, life at its absolute best.

For the first time in my life, I didn't feel like I was rushing toward some invisible finish line. After years of grinding through the orphanage system an

  • Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series)   Chapter 30 – On The Road to Revenge

    The training ground had become a gauntlet of nerves, not because of the demanding strain, but because of the way the Alpha systematically dismantled my defenses.He was playing a game I wasn't equipped to win. During our drills, he would close the distance until his breath caressed against my temple, his hand lingering just a second too long on my hip, seducing me with a closeness that made my blood race with fire. Then, just as the tension threatened to snap, he would retreat to a safe distance, watching with that sharp, satisfied smirk how I struggled to get myself together. It wasn't just the man, his wolf was actively hunting mine. Diamond was restless, pacing behind the bars of my consciousness, purring at his presence, lured by the sheer, unadulterated charm he exuded. My flesh was becoming agonizingly weak. I found myself craving the heat of his arms, the pressure of his touch, and the terrifying safety of his protection. Every time his skin brushed mine, it was

  • Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series)   Chapter 29 - Under the Microscope

    The week following the bout in the Pit was a surreal blur.The pack’s demeanor toward me had shifted from speculative curiosity to a wary, almost heavy-handed respect. It wasn't the kind of warmth you’d find in a normal home, but the nod of a warrior acknowledging another. I walked through the halls, and the conversations would die down, replaced by lowered eyes and quick steps to clear a path.Seth and Maya had become my best of friends.After I’d soundly dismantled the pack’s ‘elites’, Seth seemed to have developed a weird, puppy-like admiration for my technique, while Maya, bless her soul , had become my primary shield against the rest of the pack’s politics. They were always there: in the mess hall, near the barracks, or just sitting in my apartment while I tried to keep my head down and my secrets buried.Then, the official decree came down from the upper levels: I was to report to the training grounds every morning, without exception. To make sure I wouldn't have any excuses, t

    The infirmary felt too clean, too quiet, a jarring shift from the violence of the Pit.The scent of antiseptic and fresh linen filled the room, but they couldn’t cover the sharp trace of silver still burning through my veins. The young physician, a nervous wolf who clearly wished he were anywhere else, scrubbed the gash in my side with painful precision.I sat on the edge of the metal examination table, my hands gripped so tightly in my lap that my knuckles were bone-white. The door jerked open, and the temperature in the room plummeted.The Alpha didn't just walk in, he commanded the space, his presence acting like a magnet that drew all the remaining oxygen out of the room. His eyes were locked onto me, tracking the way my tunic clung to the fresh bandages."Out," he commanded in a tone that brooked no argument.The physician fled for the door, and the silence that followed felt crushing.He moved to the observation room, a glass-walled annex that overlooked the training grounds.

  • Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series)   Chapter 27 - The Silver Sting

    The sharp bite of silver hung in the air, twisting the sticky summer heat into something almost unbearable. Breathing came rough, every draw scraping at my chest. Without Diamond’s strength running through me, my body dragged like it was stitched together with stone.Still, the instincts I’d carried long before I understood what it meant to be a wolf stayed razor-sharp, refusing to dull.As Nahash drove the blade toward my heart, the world tilted into a slow motion. I couldn't block the steel, the mere proximity of the toxin made my muscles unresponsive, a traitorous mutiny within my own frame. Instead, I twisted, my boots sliding on the grit of the pit. The blade grazed my side, slicing through my worn tunic and biting deep into the soft flesh just above my ribs. The searing, acidic sting of the silver was instantaneous, a white-hot trail of agony that sapped the remaining sensation from my left arm.I let out a strangled cry, not of defeat, but of pure, cold focus.Nahash, emboldene

    "Yield," I commanded.Seth tapped the stone floor twice, coughing as he raised his hands."I yield," he choked out."First bout to Inzinga," the Head Warrior called out from the edge of the ring, his voice laced with a sudden, sharp curiosity.I took a slow breath, refusing to let my chest heave as I stepped back to my corner. High above, Alpha Oney didn't break his stoic expression, but his eyes narrowed slightly, tracking the exact efficiency of my movement."Second bout," the announcer shouted. "Marcus of the Delta Lineage."Marcus didn't waste time with apologies.He stepped into the ring like a juggernaut, his massive frame casting a long shadow across the stone. He didn't drop into a hasty charge like Seth; he circled me slowly, his eyes tracking the way I shifted my weight, looking for any sign of weakness."You're good, girl," Marcus acknowledge as we circled each other in the suffocating heat. "Better than any rogue I've ever seen. But Seth relies too much on his eyes. I rely

    Heat clung to the training grounds from first light, rising off the red earth and mixing with sweat the nervous energy of the crowd.Half the White Fangs pack had turned out.They lined the perimeter of the primary combat ring, a deeply recessed bowl carved out of black basalt rock, worn smooth by centuries of territorial challenges and warrior evaluations.The Obsidian Pit.I stood at the northern edge of the stone ring, stretching my arms across my chest, feeling the deep, familiar ache in my core. My body wasn’t fully healed from the ordeal that had brought me to this territory, but my wolf, Diamond, was awake, pacing behind my ribs, her ancient instincts thrumming with lethal anticipation.‘No shifting,’ I reminded her firmly, keeping a tight, iron grip on our shared consciousness. ‘If we shift, we show them the size of our aura. We show Oney what we used to be. Keep it human and hidden.’"You don't have to do this, Inzinga," Seth muttered, stepping up beside me.He looked entirel

    Slowly I pushed myself up, wiping a smear of dirt from my cheek, and looked up at the platform to see the Alpha’s reaction.My breath caught.He was staring directly down at me. His arms were still crossed, but his head was tilted slightly, his dark eyes narrowed into piercing slits. There was no d

    A neat stack of clothes was waiting on the small armchair by my door before the sun had even cleared the tree line. Jace had kept his word.It wasn’t glamorous, just a pair of cargo pants, a compression shirt that smelled faintly of cedar laundry soap, and a pair of broken-in combat boots that mir

    As evening bled into the sky, painting the courtyard in deep, bruising shades of purple, a knock rattled my door. I opened it to find Jace standing there.The captivated, easygoing boy I had seen in the kitchen hours ago was completely gone. In his place stood a man who fully looke

    The sudden frost in the room was so sharp it almost made my skin prickle."Oh, look who finally decided to crawl back to civilization," Mama Tina sighed, though her voice instantly softened with that fierce, maternal indulgence.She wiped her hands on her apron and gestured toward the newcomer with
