CLARK

I didn’t notice the time because I was so distracted taking care of my father. It was already evening by the time we returned to Cadmus’ mansion. The gate automatically opened as we arrived at the front. Lily and I entered through the kitchen that connected to the garage.

As soon as we entered, Lily excused

  • In Debt To The Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 97

    ClarkThe loud engine roar died down to a heavy vibration as the helicopter landed.Looking out the window, the ocean was gone. Bright floodlights revealed a vast estate surrounded by pine trees and heavy iron gates. It looked like an ancient fortress."We're down, Alpha," the pilot's voice came through the intercom.Cadmus stood up instantly. In the narrow cabin, his broad frame seemed to absorb all the remaining air. He didn't say a word. He simply leaned down, slid one massive arm behind my knees and the other across my back, and scooped me out of the corner as if I weighed nothing at all."Put me down!" I gasped, my instinctual terror flaring back to life as I shoved my hands against his chest. His body felt like solid granite; my pushing didn't budge him a single inch. "I have legs! Let me walk!""You're bare-footed, freezing, and exhausted," he growled low, his amber eyes locking onto mine with an unyielding authority that sent a bizarre, prickling warmth down my spine. "You wil

    ClarkMy head felt like it was going to split open. The deafening, thumping roar of the machine's blades rattled straight through my teeth, vibrating into the cold metal wall at my back.I curled myself into the tightest ball I could manage, pressing my spine into the corner of the seat. The heavy, warm blanket wrapped around my shoulders smelled strongly of rich pine, rain, and a sharp, metallic tang that made something deep in my chest ache with an unexplainable, terrifying familiarity.I hated it. I hated the smell, I hated the suffocating warmth, and more than anything, I hated the giant sitting across from me.He hadn't taken his eyes off me for a single second.In the dim red emergency light of the cabin, he looked like a nightmare carved from stone and muscle. He was broad—so broad his massive shoulders blocked out half the small room—and covered in jagged, pale scars that ran up his thick neck and disappeared under his dark tactical shirt. But it was his eyes that terrified me

    Cadmus"No!"My jaw clenched so tight I felt the bone crack. Every drop of restraint I had been clinging to burned away, vaporized by her fierce, defensive defiance and the suffocating sight of her standing in front of that lying parasite.Two years of agonizing wait. Two years of clawing my way back from hell for her. And now she was begging me to leave her with a thief who had built a lie on her shattered mind.No more."I'm not coming with you. I don't even know you!" she insisted, her voice sharp and trembling as she pressed herself further in front of the coward behind her."I'm not a very patient man, my love," I growled, my voice dropping into a lethal, vibration-heavy rumble that echoed through the small cave."Obviously! You're rude and arrogant," she fired back, her deep eyes blazing with a wild, desperate anger. "I don't even know you and you dare call me names I don't even recognize. Can you just please leave us alone?""No," I growled.Before she could blink, before the l

    CadmusThe twin turbines of the Sikorsky UH-60 screamed in a deafening, rhythmic roar as we tore through the dark sky at maximum speed. Outside the thick, reinforced glass of the transport bay, the world was a void of pitch-black ink, violent crosswinds, and heavy, horizontal sheets of driving rain. The storm cell off the southern coast had matured into a squall, throwing the heavy airframe into sudden, violent drops that would have turned the stomach of any normal human.I didn't feel the turbulence. I didn't feel the cold sea air leaking through the frame seals, nor the dull, familiar throbbing of the blast scars running up my torso.My broad shoulders were locked tight against the jump seat harness, my gloved hands resting heavily on my knees. My golden wolf eyes were wide, unblinking, fixed entirely on the dark sea below through the side door viewport. Every nerve in my body was stretched to a razor's edge, vibrating in harmony with the frantic pull deep within my chest.The bond.

    CadmusThe roar of the engine died down as Alek’s sleek town car pulled up to the heavy iron gates of my estate. From my vantage point on the shadowed upper terrace, my golden wolf eyes pierced through the dark, tracking the vehicle's every move.Two years. Two goddamn, agonizing years spent surviving on an uncharted reef island, clawing my way back from the brink of death, fighting the ocean currents, and slaughtering every last rogue who dared cross my path. I had returned to my territory in secret only hours ago—battered, broader, heavily scarred, and pulsing with an Alpha’s absolute, unyielding dominance. My wolf flexed beneath my skin, saturated with raw, predatory power. And now, my mate was home."Thank you for the ride, Alek," I said softly, his voice drifting up to my sharp ears as the passenger door opened."Are you sure you don’t want to have dinner? You haven’t eaten all day because of the pile of work," Alek asked, leaning across the console."I’m fine. I’ll just eat at h

    CadmusI slammed both palms onto the solid mahogany conference table, the wood groaning under the sheer, unbridled pressure of my weight. My breathing came in heavy, jagged raspings as the golden glow of my wolf flared dangerously behind my eyes."I don't give a damn about the Coast Guard's protocol!" I roared, my Alpha voice echoing off the walls of the pack war room with enough force to rattle the glass windows.The three human liaison officers at the far end of the table flinched, visibly pale, while my pack enforcers stood at absolute attention, their jaws tight and shoulders squared."Alpha, it’s been nearly three weeks since the explosion," the lead search coordinator stammered, swallowing hard as he gestured nervously to the electronic map projected on the main wall. "The debris field spread over twelve nautical miles. The current in the southern channel—""Do not finish that sentence," I growled, the pitch of my voice dropping into a low, lethal rumble that made the air in the
