Marked For Ruin Chapter Twenty-Five
The silence that followed his question was different. It wasn't tense or heavy, but quiet and patient. Kara took a deep, shuddering breath, the last of the panic receding, leaving her feeling raw and hollowed out. She looked at Zaide, really looked at him. The harsh, suspicious guard was gone, replaced by a still, focused soldier who had expertly guided her back from a terrifying ledge.He deserved an answer. He deserved the truth.She pulled her knees to her chest, her voice small and fragile in the quiet room."The laptop," she began, her voice cracking slightly. "Milo... he was so kind. He gave me a choice. For the first time, someone gave me a choice about what I wanted, for myself. I was looking at all the blankets, the lights... and I was... happy." She risked a glance at him, but his face was unreadable.She took a shaky breath, the memory of that brief, shining moment of happiness already tainted by the crash that followed. "I was imagining it," s

Later that day, after the emotional exhaustion of the meeting had faded into a nervous, buzzing anticipation, Milo came for her."Are you ready?" he asked gently.Kara wasn't sure what she was ready for, but she nodded anyway, grabbing her crutches. She followed him out of her suite and down a quiet, isolated hallway she hadn't seen before. At the end stood a heavy wooden door, which Zaide, who had been standing guard with his arms crossed, unlocked with a key card and a quiet nod. The west wing.The suite was beautiful, but the bedroom was breathtaking. In the center of the room, the floor dipped down into a large, circular space, creating a sunken, den-like
Marked For Ruin Chapter Twenty-Three
The moment the words left her mouth, Kara wanted to snatch them back. Her question, so small and fragile, fell into the dead silence of the office and seemed to suck all the air out with it. Her heart, which had been hammering against her ribs, felt as if it had stopped completely. She had done it. She had overstepped. She had asked for the impossible, the unthinkable, and now she would pay the price. The fragile trust she had been offered was surely shattered.She forced herself to look at them, to witness her own execution. Zaide’s face was a mask of thunderous shock, his jaw so tight she was surprised his teeth didn’t crack. Disgust. That’s what it had to be. She had disgusted him with her neediness. Milo’s kind face was pale, his eyes wide with what she could only interpret as pity for the pathetic, greedy omega she had just revealed herself to be. In the corner, Caius was a statue, but she could feel his unnerving gaze on her, dissecting

The door to Lucian's office opened before Kara could take another breath. Milo entered first, his eyes finding hers with a look of deep compassion. He was followed by Zaide, whose face was a mask of hard, professional neutrality, but Kara could see the tension in his shoulders. Finally, Caius slipped into the room, a phantom who settled in a dark corner, his presence a chilling void. The combined power of the four Alphas in the enclosed space was a physical force, pressing in on her from all sides.Lucian's gaze swept over his pack, his authority absolute. "Kara has made a decision regarding her heat," he stated, his voice calm and clear. "She has chosen the path of partnership. She has also, bravely, admitted that she is overwhelmed and does not know how to choose."He looked at each of his men in turn. "She needs information. Honest information. I want each of you to tell her what you can offer, so she can make the choice that is right for her. Milo, you begin."
Marked For Ruin Chapter Twenty-One
Kara stood in her suite, the decision made in her heart, but the words to voice it caught in her throat. How could she possibly walk into that office and say something so insane, so demanding? Her courage, so fierce a moment ago, had withered into a familiar, trembling fear. She was going to ask for the world, and she felt like she deserved nothing.Her eyes fell on a small, elegant decanter of amber liquid on a side table, left there for guests. Whiskey. She rarely drank, but the sight of it felt like a lifeline. Liquid courage.She poured a small amount into a glass, her hand shaking slightly. She took a sip, the fiery liquid burning a trail down her throat and blooming into a welcome warmth in her stomach, pushing back against the icy fear. It wasn't about getting drunk; it was a ritual. A toast to the woman she was trying to become.She looked at her reflection in the dark window. No more hiding, she told herself, her voice a fierce whisper in her m
Marked For Ruin Chapter Twenty
Drawn by a curiosity that overrode her caution, she quietly made her way to the open doorway and peered inside. It was a gym, and it was not empty.Zaide stood in the center of the room, shirtless, his back to her. A complex tapestry of dark tattoos snaked over his broad shoulders and down his arms. Every muscle in his chiseled physique was coiled tight as he smashed his fists into a heavy punching bag hanging from the ceiling. Thud. Thud. Thud. The rhythm was brutal, relentless, but also incredibly controlled.This was a side of him she hadn't seen. Not just the suspicious guard, but the disciplined warrior. There was no wasted motion, no wild rage, just pure, focused power. It was terrifying, but it was also, to her surprise, deeply impressive. He wasn't a monster; he was a guardian.She stood there, hidden in the doorway, watching the raw display of controlled power. And then, as if summoned by the sight of the powerful Alpha, the next wave of heat h
