Captured by the Cruel Alpha Threatened
*Varek*My stomach lurches as I realize exactly where they’re headed.I start forward to intercept them. Her eyes are on Cara, her husband, and Dante. I know in my gut that she's trying to give Liora a chance to talk to her sister, and she might succeed, but my heart is racing for a wholly different reason as I note that her gaze isn't focused on Cara. She is looking at Dante. Dante's back is to her, but that doesn't make her slow or call out to him. She gets a gleeful look on her face and releases Liora's hand a few paces away from being in striking distance. Without pausing, she rears back and throws a punch.I stop watching her. I can see the moment Dante feels the blow coming toward him. A twitch surfaces in his shoulder before her fist is even halfway between them. In a whirl of movement, Dante spins around, catching her wrist easily, as if he’s done it a hundred times before. His eyes burn that unnatural blue, full of animosity for a moment. His teeth pull back into a snarl befo
Captured by the Cruel Alpha Failed Negotiations
*Varek*“What are you offering?” I narrow my eyes at her. “Better yet, what are you willing to pay for me to play along?”“You don’t have anything to bargain with.”“How many people do you know for certain you can’t compel?” Her eyes glint. “And how many people who are now in your castle would leave the moment they know their prize is more trouble than she’s worth?”My jaw tightens.“You think that’s enough to keep you safe?” I ask. "Some men would just purchase you to ruin you."She tilts her head. "Would you send me to a man like that?"I set my jaw. The answer is obvious, but I can't admit that she's seen more of my character, or guessed more of it, than is comfortable for me. It wouldn't be the first time someone used my moral compass against me.“Didn't think so,” she replies smoothly. “Though that begs the question of what price you're looking for.”Heat crawls up the back of my neck. I want to tear her out of that chair, and I clench my fists, pulling back from where that thoug

*Varek* I rub my jaw, considering it. "They're cousins?""Probably. I don't think there are any other lords down that way… why?"My hands clench. This had to be what Cara hadn't wanted her husband to tell me in the hallway. She had been in Caldara when I had been in the battle where I'd met Dante. It must have been a good day when she arrived at her husband's castle and met him. The memory cut through my mind. His eyes had been devoid of hesitation or feeling when he attacked me. Back then, his shifted form was only slightly smaller than I am now. I learned much later that he was much younger than me and nearly untried. He had been relentless, and it wasn't until a white flag had been flown in the distance that he stopped.We had been on opposite sides as support then, and I knew just from the few blows we'd traded that there was a chance I would have lost my life. The thought of him here, in my halls, at my table, sets me on edge, especially with his connection to Cara, who had not
Captured by the Cruel Alpha Old Wounds
*Varek*The receiving hall stank of foreign wolves and steel. I stand at the threshold of my great hall, jaw set, hands clasped behind my back as the suitors and their families file in.The first is a blustering lord from the west, his voice already loud enough to rattle the stone like he's been drinking. Behind him trails his wife, sons, and daughters. Their gazes sweep over the keep, and I try not to be irritated that he's brought his daughters. This is supposed to be about bidding for Fiona, not a chance to get his daughters married. I offer curt greetings and wave them through. One after another, they come in, pouring out of their carriages. Some of them are smart enough to bring gifts of food, likely to garner some favor with me. Then I saw her. I hadn’t laid eyes on Cara since I’d sent her off years ago. She looks much the same for the most part. She's slighter than Liora, her hair longer, and the softness that had once been in her expression is gone. She looks more like Liora

*Fiona*I barely make it back to my chamber before the laughter claws up my throat. The guards close the door behind me, and I press my back to the wood, covering my mouth with both hands. I don’t dare let it out, but my shoulders shake with the effort.Varek is definitely melting down, scrambling, and probably pulling at straws. The fear that he might just have me killed in the middle of the night passes quickly. He has a castle filling with suitors, and Liora knows him better than most. He's too stubborn to cut his losses like that. He's probably too arrogant to think he still can't make me do as he wants, but he can't risk pissing me off and letting me spill the secret.The alpha kings want me as a breeder, but they aren't signing up for someone they have no physical or mental power over. The few who won't care likely won't play Varek's game. I bite down on my lip, finally exhaling through my nose until the giddy rush ebbs. I settle my mind. I need to use this leverage to get out o

*Varek*It didn't work, and she knows.I see it in the faint spark at the corner of her mouth, the recognition in her gaze. She realizes my compulsion doesn’t touch her, yet she plays along. From the outside, she looks affected. As placid as she keeps her expression, as well-timed as her stillness is, it’s not real, and she knows that I can tell she's faking it. Her eyes go distant, but I can feel her resisting the urge to laugh in my face. She thinks it's hilarious, and to her it must be. For me, I've never been more on edge in my life. My blood is ice with fear, even as my cock threatens to batter its way out of my pants. I'm trapped between the two feelings and holding still, pretending to be calm, and thinking of the wisest move next. I’ve watched countless warriors bend under my compulsion, seen men, and women alike crumple. Alphas older than me have folded like paper. Ronan shifts uncomfortably in my periphery, and the command wasn't even for him. Lucian holds himself too still
