Kill Me Alpha, Before I Do (Beast Of Flames Book 1) Chapter 25
Romy PovRowan looked at his mother for a long second.Then at me.I raised my eyebrows slightly. What exactly was he expecting from me? Sympathy? Backup?His jaw shifted once before he looked back at Pamela. “I’m going to agree to this on one condition,” he said, “Valerie has to swear that she will stay out of Romy’s way and mine.”“Naturally,” Pamela said with a sneer.Valeria smiled softly, stepping forward towards him. “Rowan i–“He stretched his arm, stopping her in her tracks. “Don’t.” He growled. “ And from now on, it’s Alpha Rowan to you.”Valerie said nothing after that. She turned back toward the mountains instead, arms folding loosely again as she stared out across the dark valley below.“Now that is settled,” Pamela lifted her glass. “Can we all sit down and eat? The meal won’t stay cold forever.”Rowan moved around the table and pulled my chair out for me.As I sat, his hand brushed my shoulder. The mark ignited instantly.I kept my expression neutral and reached for my w

Romy PovThe dress was intentional.Deep burgundy silk, fitted through the waist, structured enough to sharpen every line of my body instead of softening it. The back dipped low between my shoulder blades, exposing skin in a way that looked elegant instead of obvious.I was going to be a distraction, and a weapon.Rowan Vexley was dangerous when he was composed. I had learned that quickly. The calmness suited him too well, it made him patient– Observant.And patient men were difficult to kill. So tonight, I intended to ruin his concentration.I stood in front of the mirror and pinned my hair up, then down. By the third attempt, I left two loose strands framing my jaw and decided it was acceptable. I chose a lip color from the vanity, a shade darker than the dress, and stood in front of the mirror for 30 seconds.The vanity lights cast warm gold across the room, catching the raven tattoo curling up my neck. My gaze drifted to it automatically. The mark pulsed lightly.I froze with my

Rowan PovThe council meeting had been called for nine in the morning and before I’d even entered the chamber, I knew what it was going to be about. Vance had been steadily working up to it since the welcome dinner. I had tracked his every move. The quiet conversations in corridors, the charged silences in briefings, and that small assessing glint that were in his eyes whenever they landed on Romy.He was a man who hated gambling. He didn't move unless he knew he had the numbers on his side.He had three councillors in there today. I counted them as I took my seat. Harwick, Sel and the older woman from the eastern district whose name. Her name always seemed to slip my mind, it never had a reason to stick. But right now? It seemed I needed her more than ever.Silas was already seated, his hands folded on the table, his face the same neutral expression he’d worn at every meeting for the past twenty years–attentive, impassive. Aaron sat two seats down from him, sitting stiffly, eyes fi

Romy PovI found the ground floor corridor by accident the first time and kept returning many times after.It trailed along the back of the estate's west service wing, so narrow that two people would have to turn sideways to fit through. It was lit by overhead fixtures that were slightly dimmer than the main halls. The guards didn't rotate through it on the hour. The household staff used it in the mornings for linen delivery and not much after that. By midday it was empty, which made it useful for the seventeen minutes I had calculated between the south wall shift change and the courtyard guard rotation: a window of time I was working on.I was walking it for the fourth time, counting my steps between the service door and the back stairwell, when the shadow I noticed from afar turned into a man. Caleb Mercer was leaning against the stone, arms crossed,one shoulder against the stone. His dark hair was slicked back from that sharp jaw, his clothes properly pressed, and his smirk was

Romy PovThe east wing library smelled like aged paper and cedar. And I enjoyed it.It wasn't one of those library out of any romantic notions of libraries, it didnt like it because of that, no, but because it had four entrances, two of which would require some thinking, visual connections to the main hallway via the gaps in the elaborate ironwork by the door and a window seat against the southern wall from which I could watch the access route up the mountain and the inner courtyard at once.Which, in this estate, was increasingly rare and therefore precious.I had a map of the east wing that I was creating using only my memory on the back pages of one of the older books– some treatise on territorial law from the 1800s judging by the dust coating– when I heard someone coming down the hallway.I put down the book.One set of footfalls. Not a guard's: it was lighter, uneven, which meant he was not in any hurry. A person on an important mission does not walk that way. The pause before th

Romy PovHe did not say it was forbidden to be in the eastern corridor. He said it was forbidden to be in the eastern wing, and I was going to stick to that until anyone told me otherwise. The eastern corridor extended down the back side of the official council room, and the wall separating the two was ancient masonry and mortar and featured an arch, above which there was an opening through which sound traveled magnificently.I had spent two days mapping out its possibilities.Therefore, when the council met the next morning, I was already there, huddled against the wall in the corridor and listening.Rowan found me there twenty minutes before the meeting began.He paused in the entrance of the corridor and watched me sitting there. Gazed at the arch opening where sound passed freely. Then me again."You could have simply walked in here," he said."I could," I agreed.He held the door open.It was an imposing space, high-ceilinged, paneled in dark wood, and with a wide rectangular ta
