The cutlass was heavier than I expected, but the anger in my chest made it feel like air.

I didn’t look back. Not at Ryan. Not at the smug echo of his words still playing on repeat in my head. You’re the Moon Chosen. Stay pretty.

Pretty?

I’d show him pretty.

I slashed through the undergrowth like I was born in it. I wasn’t even sure where I was going—I just knew I needed to go far. Far from his condescending tone. Far from her smug face. Far from my own helplessness.

Leaves slapped my face, twigs tangled in my boots, and I might’ve stepped on something squishy. Whatever.

I was on a mission.

To kill something.

Hopefully not myself.

Behind me, I heard crashing. Not just leaves. Heavy footsteps.

Ryan.

“Darren!”

I didn’t turn.

“Darren, what the hell do you think you’re doing?!”

“I think I’m hunting!” I shouted back. “Since apparently I’m too delicate to try!”

“You’ve never hunted before,” he hissed, catching up. “You’ll get hurt.”

“You let her go!” I whipped around to face him, cutlass po

  • Greedy Me Wants All Alphas to Myself    Burning

    Han's POV I was burning.Burning with rage.The kind that sat low in your gut and climbed up your throat, ready to scorch everything in its path. My fists clenched as I stormed down the hallway, boots echoing with each step. Tyler's limp form hung between Azazel and another guard, head lolled forward, eyes fluttering shut.Pathetic."Drop him," I barked.Azazel shot me a glare. "He's unconscious, Han. Calm down.""I told him... I told him!.. not to take his eyes off me! What part of that was hard to understand?!"Azazel's voice was quieter now. "He was drugged.""I don't care.""He'll be punished."My jaw twitched.But I didn't say no.As we neared the stairs that led back to the grand ballroom, the bass of the music and the clinking of champagne flutes filtered in. Laughter. Flashing lights. A sickening reminder that the world still turned even when I wanted to rip someone's throat out.And then—just as we descended the stairsThere he was.Wayne.Sitting on a velvet couch like roya

  • Greedy Me Wants All Alphas to Myself    Assault

    My chest rose and fell as I stared at him. Wayne. The man everyone said was dangerous with a smile, seductive with a secret. The glint in his eyes told me he wasn't just here for answers. He was here for the unraveling. Mine.He sat beside me on the edge of the bed like he belonged there, like I hadn't just been drugged and tied up in some soft-lit luxury dungeon. My heart pounded. Maybe it was the drug, or maybe it was the way his fingers brushed lightly over the hem of my shirt, right near my ribs. Like he was testing how far he could push."You've got this hero complex, don't you?" Wayne whispered, his voice velvet and wicked. "Protecting Mr. Han, throwing yourself into danger. Getting shot. I wonder if you bleed as beautifully as you blush."My breath caught in my throat as his fingertips dragged upward, slipping under the thin fabric of my shirt, the pads of them grazing my stomach. He was slow. Intentional. He knew the power of silence, of tension. And I hated—hated—how my body

  • Greedy Me Wants All Alphas to Myself    Seduce

    Tyler's POVWhat the actual hell just happened?Did Han just… Did he just drop a hundred grand on a glorified gold cup? A mug. A freaking mug. I mean—yes, okay, it was 24k gold or whatever, but I swear to God, back home, people sell their souls for less. And here he is, sitting like he just bought socks on discount.I was having a moment. A deep mental what-the-fuck-is-this-rich-people-world kind of crisis.One minute I was scanning the room for threats like the diligent newbie I was, and the next, my boss was casually slamming six figures onto the table like it was poker night in Dubai.I don't know what kind of man Han is—scratch that, I do now. He's insane. Like, dangerously composed and probably owns multiple pens that cost more than my monthly rent.I tried to keep my expression neutral, like I wasn't mentally spiraling, but I must've looked like I was buffering. Because I heard someone chuckle beside me and turned to find a bartender had slid up outta nowhere like this was a spy

  • Greedy Me Wants All Alphas to Myself    Aunction

    Han's POVTonight was important. Vincorp's executives were flying in, and I needed to look every inch the powerful, unbothered CEO the media painted me to be. Even if, deep down, my stomach twisted at the thought of sitting across from Wayne. Again.But this time, I wouldn't be alone.Tyler's first mission as my assigned protector was to accompany me. So, naturally, he needed to look the part. Not just like a guard—but like someone untouchable.I sent one of my best-tailored suits—sleek black with a subtle satin sheen—to his room. The shirt was a crisp white, the kind that whispered wealth with every thread. The tie? Midnight blue, hand-stitched, minimalistic, expensive. I handed it all to the maid with a simple command."Tell him to wear it. And make sure he combs his hair this time."I didn't expect much.I definitely didn't expect what walked down the stairs fifteen minutes later.Tyler... looked like sin dipped in velvet and carved into a jawline.The suit clung to him in all the

  • Greedy Me Wants All Alphas to Myself    Horrified

    Anne was done. Her back hurt, her head throbbed, and if she didn't feel hot water on her skin in the next five minutes, she was legally going to commit a crime. Possibly arson. The bathroom was calling her name like a siren in a sea of frustration, and she answered without hesitation—marching in like a woman possessed.The sound of running water? Fine. Probably just the tap.Steam in the air? Okay, maybe the shower was on.The very naked, very wet, very not-alone male figure turning around in shock?Yeah. That was Eric.Anne froze.Eric froze.Water ran down the ridges of his toned chest like it was in a damn commercial.And Anne? Her brain completely short-circuited."OH MY GOD!" she shrieked, whipping around like she'd just opened the gates of hell."WHAT THE HELL, ANNE?!" Eric's voice cracked into high-pitched disbelief."I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE IN HERE!""I LOCKED THE DOOR!""No, you didn't, Einstein!"Eric scrambled for the nearest towel, which he failed to wrap around himself pro

    Damnit, why do you want to kill me? Why do you want to kill me again? I said, and then he looked at me."You have breached the contract and you'll be punished accordingly," he said."You try to escape and I'll forget you," he added. "You signed the contract, which says you must be around me all the time. So you're escaping, you've breached the contract, and you'll be punished accordingly."And then I heard the familiar chuckle, a devilish one. I turned to see the fucking redhead.Why are redheads so bad?First Anne and now Azazel. The name, funny how the letters of that name really start from A. Of course, she would be the one to tell him. She had seen me trying to escape, and I'd believed that she would just let me go like that."Damnit, why am I so foolish sometimes?" I thought.Then I saw two huge figures appear from behind her. She extended her hand towards me, and they grabbed me like I was a sack of potatoes. They carried me to this huge iron cage and threw me inside, locking th
