Chapter 10 — Vermont's POV

I opened the door again.

She leaned against the wall like she didn’t have the strength to stand straight anymore, her head tipped back slightly, cheeks flushed, lips parted like she’d been breathing too hard. The chain around her ankle glinted faintly when she shifted her weight.

“I’ll drop the key to the chain on the table,” I said, my voice sounding rougher than I intended. “If I were you, I wouldn’t try anything stupid.”

Her eyes flicked to me.

    Chapter 14 – Vermont’s POVThe room wouldn’t stop spinning.I barely felt myself go down, my knees giving out as I crumpled to the floor, breath tearing out of my chest in loud, ugly heaves. My palms hit the stone, cold biting into my skin, but even that didn’t drag me back to reality.“That’s a fucking lie,” I whispered, more to myself than anyone else. “Lilith would never. Lilith would never have sex with you.”My head shook on its own, slow and desperate.“I didn’t imagine her,” I said hoarsely. “She wouldn’t... she wouldn’t.”“We did,” Adrian’s voice cut in, flat and relentless. “For a year. A whole year.”His words blurred together, sinking into me like poison.“After she got pregnant, I wanted us to elope. She didn’t. She wanted to get rid of the baby, but she couldn’t when she found out it was your firstborn and she’d die during the process.” He swallowed, wincing in pain. “So she decided to pretend it was yours.”His voice kept going, but I barely heard it.“She loved me,” I p

    Chapter 13 – Vermont’s POV“So you’re telling me nothing happened after the sex?” Adrian asked.We were halfway down the corridor. I could see the doors to the conference room waiting. I had a meeting with the elders that morning, and I was dreading it already.I’d told Adrian the short version of yesterday night.“I’m telling you nothing happened,” I said. “It was… normal.”The word tasted strange.Adrian slowed his steps. I could feel his eyes on me even before he spoke again. “You think the other woman lied?”I exhaled through my nose. “Lie about two broken legs, a fractured arm, and a concussion?” I shook my head. “No. I don’t think she lied.”“She could’ve done it to herself,” he said. “People do insane things when there’s money involved.”That did it.I stopped walking.“She screams when she sees me,” I said, turning to him. “She can’t even look at me without shaking. She's traumatized Adrian, and you think she's faking that?”Adrian opened his mouth, but I kept going.“You real

    ⚠️ EXPLICIT CHAPTER WARNING ⚠️This chapter contains graphic sexual content and dark themes.If you’re under 18 or uncomfortable with explicit scenes, do not read this chapter.Chapter 11Vermont’s POVThe room Adrian had prepared looked normal at first.At first glance, it looked like every other room in the palace. Same walls. Same quiet. Same faint smell of polish and old stone. I almost missed it until my eyes landed on the bed.Instead of the four-post curtains every other room had, this one was bare. Chains hung from each end, thick and heavy, bolted so tight they wouldn’t come loose no matter how hard I pulled.I stopped just inside the doorway.“Do you like it?”Adrian’s voice came from behind me and I exhaled through my nose before letting out a short laugh, “Do I like it?” I repeated, not turning around. “You’re asking me if I like getting chained to a bed.”He chuckled as he stepped into the room, like this was all casual. Like it wasn’t fucked up.“Just saying,” he shrugge

    Chapter 11Talia’s POVI was deep into the book resting in my lap when the door handle rattled.I sighed, exasperated. My thoughts were already a mess especially now that I wasn’t chained anymore and the last thing I needed was Vermont barging in to unsettle me all over again.“You can’t stay away for a few hours without coming back to torment me, can you?” I called out as I stood, unlocked the door, and pulled it open.I froze.It wasn’t Vermont standing there.It was Abena.Vermont’s mother stared at me like she couldn’t quite believe her eyes. For a brief second, we were both stunned into silence.“What are you...” she gasped. “Oh my goodness… it’s you.”Shock flashed across her face, then fury followed just as fast. Before I could react, her hunched frame shoved past me with surprising force, sending me stumbling aside as she stormed into the room.“Why would he be hiding you here?” she demanded, pacing back and forth without looking at me. “All these weeks, he told the elders you

    Chapter 10 — Vermont's POVI opened the door again.She leaned against the wall like she didn’t have the strength to stand straight anymore, her head tipped back slightly, cheeks flushed, lips parted like she’d been breathing too hard. The chain around her ankle glinted faintly when she shifted her weight.“I’ll drop the key to the chain on the table,” I said, my voice sounding rougher than I intended. “If I were you, I wouldn’t try anything stupid.”Her eyes flicked to me.“My pack members have orders,” I continued, nodding toward the chain. “If they see you, they’ll kill you on sight. So don't try to escape”I waited for a reaction, but she gave me nothing.That annoyed me more than it should have.I shut the door hard and walked away before the silence could crawl under my skin.The car door slammed behind me, and a second later I was on the road, driving faster than I should have. The morning air rushed through the open window.My fingers moved on their own, dialing my best friend

  • Craving The Cruel Alpha   A reality check

    Chapter 8Talia’s POV“You don’t actually believe that, do you?”Vermont’s lips curled in amusement as he watched the stunned look on my face.“So you can actually get it up?” I asked quietly, a breath I didn’t realize I’d been holding slipping free.“Are you relieved I can get my penis up?” He burst into loud laughter. “If I didn’t know better, I’d think you wanted me.”He winked, then shut his eyes and stretched out on the couch like nothing had happened.I let the silence sit between us for a moment before speaking again.“Do you still want to talk about Lilith?” I asked softly.His eyes flew open at her name.“Why would I want to talk about her?” he snapped. “What business of it is yours?”The anger was back in his voice, the same sharp edge it had when he barged in earlier, like he might lunge at me any second.“I’m sorry,” I said quickly. “You were talking about her before, so I thought you might want...”“Well, you thought bloody wrong,” he cut in. “Unless you have something be
