Dear Alpha, Steal Me From My Lavender Marriage 011
Matilda:Chapter Five: Picking Up My LeftoversThe air in the house had turned cold, a sharp contrast to the staged warmth of the wedding. It was as if, now that the vows were exchanged and the public eyes were gone, Maxine didn't see the point in wearing a mask anymore. He and his "assistant" were a permanent fixture now, their intimacy a weapon used to remind me exactly where I stood. Or rather, where I didn't.“This is Lucien. He will be your new driver,” Maxine said, gesturing toward a man standing by the entrance.I stared at the stranger, then back at my husband. The cage was getting smaller. “Why do I need one?”“Because I need to have you under my watch at all times,” he said, his voice flat as he readjusted the collar of his black silk pajamas. He looked like a man in total control, even in his sleepwear.I felt a spark of rebellion flare up in my chest. “And you think I can’t do anything with Lucien, right?” I asked, stepping closer, trying to meet his gaze, to find some shr
Dear Alpha, Steal Me From My Lavender Marriage 010
Alpha rueExercising my right as an Alpha is one thing; balancing that power with a human wife is a complication I never asked for. How do I explain this to my father? He’s been breathing down my neck, a constant shadow over my every move, demanding I bring home a woman if I want to inherit the rest of the company. But we both know the corporate title is a mask. It isn’t about the board meetings or the dividends; it’s about the lineage.We are the last pure generation of werewolves in this city. Every other shifter hiding in the concrete jungle is a rogue, a scavenger. If I don't produce an heir, the bloodline ends with me. I am the final heartbeat of a dynasty.But the Moon Goddess has a twisted sense of humor. Why would she give me a human mate? Especially for a second chance?The realization didn't hit me in a temple or under a full moon. It started with a house-sitter. I needed someone to watch Snowball and my fish, Gold, while I was away. I told my Beta, Edwin, to find someone an

He exhaled once, low and controlled, then looked away for half a second before returning his gaze to me. “It doesn’t really matter,” he said. “But you need to know that it’s necessary for me to have an heir.” Necessary. The word felt too cold. My mind began to race in ugly circles. A man like him did not offer things without reason. Men like him did not give freely. They took. They bartered. They built cages and called them protection. “What if it is one of your nonsense traditions?” I demanded, my voice rising before I could stop it. “What if you want to use me for ritual? How can you assure me that you will pay up the termination f*e? How?” His expression did not change. That almost made me more nervous. He reached for his phone. My breath caught. I watched every movement, my heart thudding so hard I could feel it in my throat. He typed something, then held the screen where I could see it. A transfer. Seventy-five million. My mouth went dry. “If you accept, I will send t

The call ended.Just like that.I lowered the phone and stood there for a second, stunned by the silence that followed. My chest felt hollow. All evening I had been floating from one humiliation to the next, and now the last person I thought I could reach had closed the door in my face.Then my phone buzzed.A message.I opened it.Your husband’s assistant checked out of your room just so you know.I stared at the screen until the words blurred.My head lifted slowly.Across the hall, Tony was still at the bar, acting as though he hadn’t seen me. He lifted his glass, drank, and stared into the middle distance with the sort of empty focus that only came from someone trying very hard not to feel anything.Then my husband, Maxine, walked up to him.Tony poured him a drink.My lips parted slightly.My brain refused to understand what my eyes were seeing.I took one step forward, then stopped.What room?What assistant?Why was Tony pouring him a drink like this was normal?My pulse starte

“Let go of me,” I said as we reached the turning point.My wrist was still trapped in his hand, warm and firm and irritatingly calm, as if he had every right to touch me. I twisted once, then again, until his fingers loosened.The air around the venue felt different here. Softer. Quieter. Away from the loud music, the clatter of glasses, and the fake laughter that had been filling the wedding hall all evening. The corridor ahead was dim, lit by yellow wall lamps that made everything look more secret than it should have.I drew in a breath and forced myself to look him in the eye.“Thank you for helping me out of that uncomfortable situation,” I said, keeping my voice low, because even now I was still careful. Still thinking of who might be listening. “But no one should see us like this. You should understand that Maxine is still my husband.”The moment the words left my mouth, I felt the humiliation of them like a bruise.He stared at me for a long second, his expression unreadable, a

"Matilda."The voice was like a bucket of ice water over my head. I didn't even have time to turn before Maxine’s fingers clamped around my upper arm like a vice. His grip was bruising, Without a word of explanation, he yanked me upward, nearly tripping me over my own feet."Let go! Maxine, you’re hurting me!" I thrashed against him, digging my heels into the carpet, but he was a wall of moving muscle. He dragged me through the side exit,, cutting off the music of the party.He flung my arm away as if I were something contaminated. He was pacing, his chest heaving under his designer wear. "What the kind of game are you playing tonight, Matilda?""Game?" I rubbed the red marks on my arm, my eyes stinging with heat. "This isn't a game, Maxine. You gave me the green light. You told me I was free to do whatever I wanted, and I’m just getting started."He stepped into my personal space, his shadow looming over me. "Are you really this desperate for my attention? You're going to throw you
