Eve

I snapped, shaking my head before I could stop myself. “That’s not part of the rules. It’s not in the contract.”

Sage’s hand moved lazily to his chest, tapping once over his heart. “And did this man sign any contract?” he asked, his voice low, almost amused.

I stopped breathing for a second. The air felt too thick, the room too small.

“Sage,” I managed, “I think you’re moving too fast and—”

He scoffed softly, shaking his head with a faint, crooked smile. “Don’t worry. I was just joking.”

“Really?” My shoulders loosened, relief flooding through me so quickly it left me light-headed. My face softened without permission.

“Yes,” he said, turning back to the laptop. “I won’t be putting my baby in you… since you hate it so bad.”

I gulped, eyes dropping to my lap. Confusion tangled with something warmer I didn’t want to name. “What about… the other part?” I asked quietly.

He glanced over his shoulder. “What other part?”

“The part where you said we’d sleep in the same bed.”

“Oh,” he said,

  • Eve and the Devilish Alpha   Disapproved Victory

    Sage I shifted my arm mid-block—fur rippling, claws extending—and caught the rogue’s wrist, twisting hard. Bone snapped. The beast howled, but I was already moving, yanking it into the cab and slamming its head against the dashboard until it went limp.Blood sprayed the interior.I shoved the body out and floored it again.Two more circled in the rearview, keeping pace. They were fast and coordinated. Not random rogues. Hired. Or worse—Darius’s.My phone buzzed on the passenger seat. Unknown number.I ignored it.A third wolf leapt from the trees ahead, landing on the roof with a thunderous thud. Claws punched through metal, tearing.I swerved hard, tires screaming, trying to throw it off.It held.I reached for the glove box, pulled out the silver-loaded pistol I kept for emergencies, and fired upward through the roof.The howl was immediate. It sounded agonizing and, piercing. The weight vanished as the rogue tumbled off the back.I didn’t slow.The estate gates loomed ahead, guard

  • Eve and the Devilish Alpha   Be careful

    SageI remembered last night all too clearly.I’d been at the laptop for hours, digging deeper into the Ripper files—cross-referencing old reports with Alec’s known aliases, pulling financial trails, anything that might lead to Darius. The screen glow burned my eyes, but I couldn’t stop.My phone rang, shattering the silence.It was Father.I answered on the second ring. “Yeah.”“Are you insane?” he roared, voice booming through the speaker loud enough that I pulled the phone away from my ear. “What the hell have you done?”I arched a brow, leaning back in the chair. “You’re going to have to be more specific.”He let out a deep, frustrated sigh—the kind that carried years of disappointment. “Your wedding, Sage. It’s everywhere. The internet is on fire. Blood on the bride’s dress, gunshots, and a dead body in the middle of the aisle. Do you have any idea how this looks for the pack?”I clenched my jaw, fingers tightening around the phone. “I had no choice. The groom was Alec Kane, Dari

  • Eve and the Devilish Alpha   The new beginning

    EveI finally drifted into an uneasy sleep sometime after dawn, the kind where dreams tangled with reality—blood on white lace, Sage’s voice promising vengeance, my parents’ faces fading into shadows. When I woke, sunlight streamed through the curtains, bright and unforgiving.11:24 a.m.???I blinked at the clock on the nightstand, groaning softly. I’d slept longer than I had in years. Then again, yesterday had been… everything.The other side of the bed was untouched. Sheets smooth, pillows undisturbed. Sage never came back.Did he really sleep somewhere else? Give me the whole bed out of some twisted consideration? The thought irritated me more than it should have.I wasn’t due at the company for another week—transition period, they called it. The empire was finally mine. Clarissa was probably somewhere seething, plotting her next move. The idea brought a grim flicker of satisfaction as I pushed the covers aside.A soft knock sounded at the door.My heart jumped. Sage?I swallowed h

  • Eve and the Devilish Alpha   It’ll be fine

    EveI lay there longer than I wanted to admit, eyes open in the dark, waiting for the door to open again. For him to come back. Worried, despite myself, that something was wrong. That he’d changed his mind about the whole “same bed” rule. Or worse, that he was angry, or hurt, or…I scoffed into the pillow.Worried about Sage? After everything? Ridiculous.But sleep didn’t come easy. I tossed and turned, my mind replaying the day in fragments: blood on my dress, his hand steady on the gun, the cold finality in his voice when he’d ended Alec. And then tonight—his promise about my parents, the way he’d held my hands like they were something precious. I didn’t fall asleep until the sky outside started to lighten, exhaustion finally pulling me under. And even then, I dreamed of footsteps that never returned.Sleep never came.I lay there for what felt like hours, eyes fixed on the ceiling, the silence of the house pressing in from all sides. The bed was too big and too empty, and the sheet

  • Eve and the Devilish Alpha   Because you are my wife

    SageI watched her from the couch as she lingered in the doorway, arms crossed like a shield, eyes flicking over me before darting away again. She looked small in those pajamas, soft cotton that swallowed her frame, but there was steel in her posture, even if it was brittle.She came closer, hesitant steps on the hardwood.“Eve,” I said, my voice low with a hint of tease I couldn’t quite suppress, “are you going to talk? Or just stare at my handsome face all night?”She scoffed, shaking her head. “You are so full of yourself.”I leaned back, smirking. “Then do you want me to be half of myself?”She didn’t laugh. Just rolled her eyes, the annoyance clear, but there was no real heat behind it. Not tonight.Then her expression shifted—serious, guarded. She took a breath. “Let me be serious now. So… the thing is… When are we going to end this marriage? You know this is fake, after all. We’re just here for the gain and everything.”The words landed heavier than I expected.I set the laptop
