Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 16 – The Pack
An hour later, we touched down at the estate. The helicopter’s blades slowed and the silence that followed felt almost deafening. In front, I noticed a group had gathered at the landing pad, their sharp posture and watchful eyes making the moment feel staged, like a scene I’d stumbled into.Jake, as the pilot had introduced himself through the intercom, was the first to hop out, moving with a crispness that suggested he was used to command. Without a word, he gave a sharp salute, clear and confident as he called out, “Alphas. Everything is ready. The corridor is clear.”Again, the word ‘Alphas’ caught in my mind. It wasn’t the kind of title I’d expect outside a motivational seminar or perhaps a military briefing, where ranks and roles were drilled into everyone’s heads. Rapha had used it in bed once, in the heat of our play, but I had thought it was just a role he played while controlling my body. I had categorized it as a kink, a linguistic shortcut for power.But here in the open,
Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 15 – Keeping it Cool
The office was a battlefield of a different kind, and stepping back into it after three days at the villa felt like being dropped from a fever dream into cold reality.My skin kept remembering them, as if it couldn’t let go. Even the light graze of my sleeve felt electric, a spark from nights that stretched into forever. Their warmth stayed, restless and sweet, making every brush of fabric feel like their hands again.I sat at my desk, staring at a screen filled with analytical data that refused to resolve into anything meaningful. My body felt heavy, anchored by a pleasant exhaustion that lived deep in my bones, the kind that came from being claimed and consumed until I wasn’t sure where I ended and they began. We had spent almost the entire night in a restless, tangled heat, and I honestly wondered how much stamina they had, because they never seemed to have a ‘power down’ mode. Even when they were gentle, I could feel the restraint, the immense strength they held back.“Rahab?”The
Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 14 – The Shared Standard
The sensation of cool, silk sheets against my damp skin was a stark contrast to the warmth of the bath. When Nisi carefully lowered me onto the bed, a strange, heavy sense of calm still held me in place, anchoring me to the mattress even as my heart pounded wildly in my chest. They moved with a synchronized grace that was almost hypnotic, their presence filling the space with a quiet, unspoken promise.“Here is where we wanted you since we got sight of you, Rahab,” Rapha whispered with an edge of amusement as he stretched out over me.He propped himself up on an elbow, his large frame casting a long shadow over me. “You are made for us. Do you believe in a mate bond? Irreversible, unbreakable and all consuming. That is how we feel about you.”“Completely,” I admitted, breathless and uneven. I stared at his face hovering above mine, his captivating green eyes boring into mine. “I felt the same but couldn’t give in to it. You are my bosses. Both of you and from all the models I’ve studi
Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 13 – Off the Clock
The drive home was quiet; neither of us spoke.We simply sat there in that charged silence that seems to stretch out, making your skin feel tight, like you’ve outgrown your own body. The car finally pulled up to a luxurious villa, and the front doors slid open to reveal a world that felt entirely removed from the noise and exhaust fumes of the city below. The lighting was low and intimate, casting long, honey-colored shadows across the polished hardwood floor. Soft instrumental music drifted through the air, low enough that it seemed more like a heartbeat than a tune.“Sit, Rahab,” Nisi said, pointing to a stool.He moved toward the bar and, without asking, poured a glass of dark amber liquid. When he handed it to me, I caught the label: my favorite liquor, the peaty, expensive kind I usually only splurged on after a big win. I took a sip, feeling the soft burn settle in my chest and ground me.Than my gaze flicked between Nisi and Rapha.“So this is your next hideout. I must say it’s
Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 12 – An Offer I Can’t Refuse
The dark SUV didn’t steer toward the shiny glass tower that housed our Midtown offices.Instead, it moved silently through the morning traffic, heading toward a quiet, ivy-covered townhouse tucked away in Gramercy Park. No neon signs, no flashy gold accents, just a heavy, weathered oak door and a valet whose movements carried the kind of careful deference reserved for royalty or those who could buy their way into it.“This place is very secluded. You aren't planning to kidnap me, are you?” I tried to cover my nervousness with a joke, clutching my briefcase tightly as my knuckles went white. Truthfully, I didn't know what to expect from this breakfast meeting.Inside, the restaurant was an oasis of quiet, old-money luxury. We were led past the main dining area, where some of the city’s titans whispered over their breakfast, to a private room at the back. It felt less like a breakfast nook and more like a high-stakes war room.When the door clicked shut, the city’s chaos vanished. I sat
Between Destiny's Chains and Moonlight (Book series) Chapter 11 - The Audit
The sun hadn’t even fully cleared the New York skyline when the buzzer to my apartment shrieked, slicing through my caffeine-deprived brain like a serrated blade.I was currently in a state of high-alert panic, standing in front of my hallway mirror in the cramped confines of my Upper West Side flat, trying to convince myself that my neck didn’t look like a crime scene."It’s just a shadow," I whispered, tilting my head to the left until my vertebrae popped. "Poor lighting. A localized skin irritation due to... extreme professional stress and the unforgiving New York humidity."A low, cynical chuff sounded from behind me.I spun around. Ranger was sitting by the front door, his tail giving a single, mocking thud against the hardwood. Beside him, Soldier was leaning against the coat rack, watching me with an expression that was entirely too human for a creature that spent its day sniffing fire hydrants and chasing pigeons in Central Park."Stop it," I hissed, pointing my concealer wand
