Talia's POV

The morning sunlight tickling my eyelids was what woke me up from sleep, and I groaned, turning around to bury my face further into the pillow. "I don't have all day, pumpkin," a voice drifted to my ears, jolting me halfway into consciousness.

"Go away," I groaned, barely registering anything, my mind still foggy from sleep. But midway into snuggling further into the sheets, I stiffened and shot up from the bed, my eyes flying open like I'd been electrified. My gaze, wide and shocked, took in Vermont leaning relaxed against a chair, a book in hand as he flipped through pages calmly.

He looked up from the book, amusement dancing in his eyes, "Good, you're awake. I've been watching you sleep for the past hour since I got here. Do you know you talk in your sleep? You kept mumbling over and over about how you had to run," he chuckled, a lazy smile playing on his lips like he found me entertaining.

Why was he acting like this was a normal morning? Like I hadn't just killed one

  • Craving The Cruel Alpha   Escape and rescue

    Talia's POVI swiped my hair away from my face, smearing blood through the tangled strands.I didn't give a damn, my feet pounding the pavement like they had a mind of their own as I fled. "I'm so fucking stupid," I muttered, over and over again as I resisted the urge to hit myself.What had I been thinking, taking down a soldier from another pack? Did I really think I could outrun the consequences? My lungs burned, my muscles screamed for mercy, but I kept pushing, adrenaline and panic fueling my every step.I ducked into the shadows behind a house, gulping air like it was water, and yanked my shirt over my head, using it to wipe the sticky blood from my hands before tossing it aside like a useless rag.People shot curious glances my way as I sprinted past, but no one looked terrified, no one pursued me. Either Vermont hadn't discovered the body yet, or he was playing it cool, holding off on putting out the kill order. I was betting on the former, killing a soldier was a death senten

  • Craving The Cruel Alpha   Lies, anger, and arousal.

    Vermont’s POV – Chapter 5My hands roamed down her body, desperate to feel all of her, all at once.I kissed along her neck until I found the pulse hammering beneath my tongue, begging to be claimed.My teeth scraped gently, and a burning sensation spread through my chest. I tried to ignore it, grazing her skin again until she let out a bloodcurdling scream and shoved me away with surprising force.I staggered backward, stunned. She pressed her palm to her neck, now flaming red, before she sank to the ground, shaking and convulsing, refusing to meet my eyes.I stared at her, confusion knotting in my gut until it finally hit me.She had a mate.My jaw locked. I crossed the space in two long strides, hauled her up like a sack of potatoes, and slammed her against the wall. Her head snapped back, and I twisted her neck just enough to expose her skin. Sure enough, there it was, the tiny crescent moon tattoo etched into her flesh. Proof.My hand tightened around her throat. Her lips pulled

  • Craving The Cruel Alpha   Mate.

    Talia's POV Voices drifted in through the fog of sleep, “I don’t know why the alpha brought her here,” a man said, his tone laced with anger. “She’s the fucking pack member of his sworn enemy.”Another voice chimed in, a woman, her words dripping with disdain. “You know the date is nearing. He’s been a mess lately. Maybe she poked through that weak spot of his.”“Yeah,” a third man muttered. “I bet she’s using him.”Using him? How could I use someone I didn’t even know? Why had he helped me? And what date were they talking about?My mind spun as the voices faded away, swallowed by silence. They were gone.I needed to get out of here. I couldn’t trust these people. And my baby...My breath hitched, and tears stung my eyes. My baby was gone. My baby. A sob choked out of me, and I buried my face in my hands, rocking back and forth, the pain so raw it felt like I was being torn apart.Dylan was going to pay. Dylan and every single one of them. They took my baby. They took everything. I d

  • Craving The Cruel Alpha   Black.

    Vermont’s POVThe night air was cool, biting against my bare skin. I tossed my shirt onto the pile of clothes by the tree, rolling my neck to loosen the tension. I needed to run. Needed to forget the never ending nightmare.But then I heard it. Footsteps. Fast. Unsteady. Like someone was running for their life.I stilled, ears straining. Two heavier sets of feet thundered behind. Someone was being chased.I slipped on my pants, my eyes locked on the dark stretch of trees ahead. A cry split the night, chilling and desperate. A woman.My jaw clenched. This isn’t your business, I told myself. You said you were done saving people.Then her voice echoed again. “Please... my baby...”Fuck.I moved, weaving through the trees, keeping low. The clearing was small, just a patch of dirt and rocks under the moonlight. Two men stood over a woman sprawled on the ground. Dylan’s men. I recognized them, the pack tattoo on their neck.One had his boot planted on her stomach, grinding it in as she scre

  • Craving The Cruel Alpha   The baby

    Talia's POV I was numb. That’s the only way I could describe how I felt.Madame Gloria, usually cold as ice was acting… different. She took me to my room without a word, laid a fresh blanket over me, and even brought me food. Strange, because the last time I saw her, she was ready to whip me into pieces.But I had no appetite. How could I? I was about to lose a baby I’d only just found out I was carrying.I don’t know how long I lay there, silent and broken, tears soaking into the thin pillow. Hours maybe.Then came the creak of the door opening.Madame Gloria stood there, arms crossed, her sharp eyes scanning me like I was a stray animal.“You have to eat, or you and the baby will die of starvation,” she snapped, shoving a new plate toward me.I scoffed and curled deeper under the blanket, voice heavy with bitter sarcasm. “Oh, you mean the baby that’s going to die anyway tomorrow? I’m sure you have better things to do, like torturing the other slaves.”Normally, that would’ve earned
