Kill Me Alpha, Before I Do (Beast Of Flames Book 1) Chapter 82
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 pov The air inside the main house sat thick and stale, tasting of old wood and damp cloth.Pamela stood by the heavy oak sideboard in the dining hall, counting through a stack of yellow delivery slips. “The automated network is dropping packets again, Romy,” she said, her fingers sliding one slip to the bottom of the pile. “Go down to the transit terminal and verify the dry goods by hand. Take the lower road.”I nodded once and kept my face flat. If her errand got me out of the villa for an hour, I’d let her think I was listening.I pulled my heavy coat off the iron peg by the pantry before she finished speaking. My boots hit the gravel path outside, the soles sliding sideways on the grey patches of thin ice on the asphalt.The weight behind my collarbone pulled harder with every ten yards I put between myself and the residential block. It pulled like a cold wire hooked under my collarbone. I tucked my chin into my wool collar and kept walking.The freezing sleet came down in gr

Take the lower road.”I nodded, keeping my face flat. If her errand got me out of the villa for an hour, I’d let her think I was listening.I pulled my heavy coat off the iron peg by the pantry before she finished speaking, my boots already hitting the gravel path outside.The weight behind my collarbone pulled harder with every ten yards I put between myself and the residential block. It pulled like a cold wire hooked under my collarbone. But I tucked my chin into my wool collar and kept walking as the free

Romy povThe gauze on my palm kept splitting at the stitching every time I pressed the stylus down to log the barrel numbers. The kitchen was quiet except for the ice maker in the corner, dropping cubes into the bin with a dull thud every few minutes.The heavy oak door behind the counter clicked open and Rowanwalked in, his broad shoulders filling the frame before he even stepped through. The smell of freezing rain and wet wool hit the small space instantly, coming off the dark collar of his coat in a faint, cold mist.He didn’t drop his keys on the hook by the door or even look toward the pantry logs. He just moved straight to the desk, leaned over my shoulder from behind, his chest briefly pressing against my back as he reached past me.The cold brass buttons of his jacket brushed my upper shoulder through the thin cotton of my shirt. He didn’t take the stylus, neither did hetouch the tablet.His left hand came down on my hip,

Romy POVThe phone belonged to one of the kitchen girls.Not Petra–Petra I liked, and I wasn't going to burn her. It was the one who left her jacket on the south terrace twice a week and spent her break leaning against the service wall scrolling through something that wasn't estate business. I'd b

Rowan POVThe fire had burned low by the time I came back to the study. I poured whiskey into a glass and sat behind the desk with the intention of reviewing council reports before bed.I had barely gone through four pages when Valerie knocked. I could smell her awful perfume even with the door cl

Romy pov"Nira," the mother said, moving toward her."It's all right," I said. I crouched down to the girl's level–before she could pull the girl away.She looked at my face and then at the raven tattoo on my neck and then back at the curl she was holding between her fingers, and she said, with com

Romy povThe closer we got, the louder the estate became.Voices drifted through the corridor ahead. Crystal glasses clinked softly. Somewhere deeper inside the west wing, a piano played low enough to feel more atmospheric than intentional.Then the receiving room doors
