Kill Me Alpha, Before I Do (Beast Of Flames Book 1) Chapter 84
Rowan pov Ink from the printer cartridge had gotten onto the side of my hand. I wiped it against my jeans but it only smeared into the fabric, leaving a dark mark near the pocket. The spreadsheet printouts of the perimeter manifests were laid out edge to edge on the desk, the columns of timestamps and fence sensor logs running together after three hours of staring at the same numbers.Romy sat by the narrow window on the other side of the room. A rag soaked in cleaning solvent was across her knee, and she was scraping the carbon buildup out of her trigger assembly with the tip of a thin bone pick. The metal scraper clicked against the casing, once, twice, and then stopped. She didn’t look over at the desk, she just picked up another cloth and began to rub the slide down, her thumb pressing into the steel until her knuckle went pale.The solvent smelled of kerosene and cold metal, yet it had already been an hour.Outside, a low, heavy rumble came from the bottom of the long tarmac d

Romy pov My fingers moved first. A dull, agonising prickle of heat flared beneath the nails of my left hand as feeling began to return to my fingers.For hours I’d been completely pinned to the mattress, staring at a single crack in the ceiling plaster until my eyes burned and the rest of the room blurred into nothing but gray.My thoughts became too loud, ringing in my ears as the bitter taste of the poison sat at the back of my throat. Before my body fully woke up, Rowan’s voice boomed down the hall. He was shouting, his voice raw with a fury that cut straight through the heavy stone walls. Listening to it, the trap clicked into place, I knew it was Caleb.Rowan wasn’t angry at me, this was the part I couldn’t make sense of as I laid there in the dark. He was angry at himself– I’d heard it in his voice when he was shouting, just the raw, ugly sound of a man who couldn’t forgive himself for walking away from the estate–For leaving me inside where Pamela and Valerie could reach me.

Rowan pov The cold mud near the terminal gatehouse didn’t move easily under my boots, the grey slush freezing over into black ice before the runoff could reach the drainage ditch.My knuckles were raw where they’d hit Caleb’s jawbone, the split skin leaking blood that crawled down his chin and stained his shirt.The line guards were still gathering the scattered transit packets from the gravel path, but the heat under my collarbone wouldn’t let me look down to inspect whatever was going on..Caleb headed back toward the western line quarters with his mouth full of blood, but his voice was still stuck inside the wood of the fence posts. Every word he’d said about Kaelen, every small filthy detail about the high grass behind the old stables, kept turning in my head until it ached from the pressure.The mate bond was a dark, twisting cord pulled tight against my chest, the vibration coming through the link so hot it made the cold sleet feel like dry ash against my eyelashes. Her scent w

Romy povMy shoulder blades pressed hard into the dusty velvet cushion of the settee. The fabric smelled of dry cedar and old soot that never quite left the wool filling after the storage wing was shut off for winter.Above me, the window was just a dark grey square where the freezing sleet that kept hitting the glass in a rattle that grew louder every time the wind blew stronglyI was a complete fool. I kept repeating the same stupid mistakes, letting my guard down the second someone showed me any little act of kindness. I actually let myself believe Valerie was just being nice, despite the fact that i’d suspected her for poisoning my drink weeks ago.One moment of cold hands and a warm mug and I’d walked straight into her trap again.If only Xry could see me right now, flat on my back because I couldn’t smell a basic root extract in a mug of elderberry juice–I’d never hear the end of it.I survived the Hawthorne fires and three years of assassination contracts just to let two villa

Romy povCaleb leaned back against the wooden frame of the booth, his fingers drumming on his buckle slowly. He didn’t look at Rowan’s fist, still bunched in the front of his jacket, he just squinted through the grey light toward the front window.“You think you’re the only one keeping track of her, Rowan?” he said, his teeth showing behind a thin, dry smile. “Lord Kaelen from the northern border came through the high crossing this morning. He spent twenty minutes at the gate station talking about what he’s going to do with the Viper once she’s out of this villa.”Rowan’s fingers tightened into the nylon until the seams popped. His shoulders bunched under his wool coat, his head lowering until his chin almost touched his collar.“Kaelen doesn’t know anything about the valley quarters,” Rowan said, his voice coming out in a low, gravelly rasp. “He hasn’t been within fifty miles of the lower gates since the winter truce.”Caleb let out a short, wet bark of laughter, his eyes moving towa

Romy POVCaleb leaned forward, his forearms flat against the table. The wooden frame gave a small, dry creak under his weight. His eyes dropped toward the edge of my collar, exactly where Rowan’s mark sat hidden under the heavy cotton of my shirt.“You really think those teeth changed what’s inside you, Romy?” His voice dropped to a rough whisper. “Or are you just playing the stray until you get close enough to put your old Viper steel in Rowan’s neck?”He didn’t wait for me to answer. He reached across the small gap between us, his thumb came down on the split skin of my knuckle and pressed hard on the raw skin, his rough fingers catching the torn edge of the gauze.The bond hit before my brain caught up, a burning cramp behind my collarbone, the skin under my ear going hot. My head knocked back against the booth slats. I couldn’t pull a full breath.My elbow jerked back, my left hand reaching under my coat toward the empty space where my blade belt usually sat, but the movement was c

ROMY PovAaron came to find me on Thursday.He didn’t look for me in any of the rooms I usually drifted through. Instead, he found me in the courtyard, where I’d started spending that hour before dinner since the guard rotations changed and the estate shifted into a different kind of watchfulness o

Romy's POVKieran stretched his stay on Wednesday, sending a two line note to Rowan citing ongoing territorial business, asking for another four days. Rowan granted it with the strained smile of a man who had no logical reason not to and knew it. By Thursday, Kieran had found three occasions on w

Romy PovThe wardrobe was empty.It was not raided or forced open. It was simply empty. All the things Zaric had placed there– every piece of cashmere, every tailored pair of trousers, dresses, and shoes, and even the green silk I wore to dinner, everything was gone. In their place, arranged neat

Rowan POVI looked at the key in Valerie's hand.Then I looked at her face—the sharp, practiced lines of a woman who had spent years positioning herself to sit in the chair Romy currently occupied. The very thin thread of patience I had extended to the Mercer family for the sake of pack politics f
