Moaning For The Enemy: Her Sister's Betrothed Alpha 165
Iris The interior of the black sedan smelled of expensive leather and the cold, ozone scent of the storm I’d left behind on the cliffside, and it was a smell I was starting to associate with betrayal. I didn’t look back at the silhouette of the man standing in the rain. I didn't need to. I could still feel the phantom heat of Darius’s hands on my face, a sensation that felt less like a caress now and more like a brand used to mark a piece of property before an auction. Natural. He’d wanted it to feel natural. Because apparently, in the world of the ultra-wealthy, a heart-shattering confession is just a standard part of a hostile takeover. I leaned my head against the cool glass of the window, watching the dark, jagged trees of the Hamptons blur into a smear of grey. My emerald dress was a wet, ruined weight against my legs—a four-thousand-dollar mockery of the woman who had walked into that gala thinking she was the one holding the cards. Now, I just looked like a very expensive, v

IRIS’S POVThe wood groaned beneath us, a deep, structural scream that vibrated through the soles of my ruined heels. Water was already bubbling up through the floorboards of the landing, dark and freezing, carrying the scent of dead salt and rotted foundation. Darius was five steps ahead, his hand out, his face a mask of jagged desperation as he waited for me to bridge the gap.But I wasn't moving.Ethan’s hand was a vice around my upper arm. His fingers, usually so careful and thin, dug into my skin with a strength that felt entirely wrong. He wasn't looking at the escape route or the crumbling turret. He was looking at me, his eyes wide and hollowed out, stripped of every ounce of the brotherly warmth I’d spent my life protecting."Ethan, let go!" I shouted over the roar of the surf crashing against the cliffs outside. "The house is falling apart. We have to move!""You don't get it, Iris," he said. His voice was flat, echoing with a chilling clarity that cut right through the
Moaning For The Enemy: Her Sister's Betrothed Alpha 163
IRIS’S POVThe scream died in my throat before it could even form.Darius was a blur of charcoal grey and raw instinct. He didn't think; he lunged. His boots skidded on the rain-slicked floorboards as he threw himself toward the balcony, his hand catching the back of Ethan’s collar just as my brother’s heels cleared the stone ledge. The sound of the fabric straining was a sharp, jagged snap against the roar of the wind.Ethan dangled over the abyss, his face pale and unreadable, while Darius strained, his muscles cording under the silk of his sleeves. The rain lashed at them both, turning the scene into a chaotic mess of shadows and salt spray.I didn't run to the ledge. I couldn't. My feet were rooted to the spot, my gaze locked on the woman in the black veil. She stood perfectly still, her hands folded over the silver key, watching the struggle with an indifference that was more terrifying than the fall itself."Mom?" I whispered again, the word feeling like a piece of glass in my m

DARIUS’S POVThe darkness wasn't just an absence of light; it was a physical weight, thick with the scent of old dust and the ozone of the storm outside. I didn't need my eyes to find Iris. I could feel her. The heat radiating off her skin, the sharp, jagged rhythm of her breath, and the way her silk dress hissed against the floorboards as she moved closer to me.My hand found the small of her back, my fingers digging into the emerald fabric. I pulled her flush against my side, my body acting as a shield between her and the looming shadow of the woman at the base of the stairs. The proximity was a visceral, grounding force. In the middle of this nightmare, the only thing that felt real was the friction of her hip against mine and the way she didn't even flinch when the first of the men in the masks lunged forward."Stay close," I growled, the words vibration against the crown of her head."I’m practically inside your suit, Darius. Any closer and I’ll be on the payroll," she whispered
Moaning For The Enemy: Her Sister's Betrothed Alpha 161
IRIS’S POVThe Summer House didn't need high-tech sensors to feel dangerous. It had the weight of a century of misery pressed into its floorboards. As the front door hung off its hinges, the rain began to lash into the foyer, turning the fine layer of dust into a muddy slurry. The man in the gold mask didn't move like a soldier; he moved like a debt collector who had finally lost his patience.Darius stepped in front of me, his body a solid, warm wall of charcoal wool and muscle. I could feel the heat radiating off him, a fierce, protective energy that was far more grounding than any corporate bond. He didn't reach for a weapon. He didn't need to. He just stood there, his hands loose at his sides, looking at the intruders with a bored, lethal contempt that made my heart hammer a frantic rhythm against my ribs."Sterling really has a flare for the dramatic, doesn't he?" I said, my voice cutting through the sound of the rain with a sharp, biting sarcasm. I tucked the leather ledger unde

IRIS’S POVThe Summer House didn't just feel old; it felt heavy, as if the very air was saturated with the weight of a century’s worth of unspoken sins. When the massive oak door groaned open, it released a breath of stagnant air that smelled of dried roses, sea salt, and the metallic tang of a history that refused to stay buried.Darius stepped inside first, his hand instinctively reaching back to catch mine. His grip was a grounding force, his skin hot against my freezing fingers, but even his heat couldn't dispel the chill that seemed to radiate from the stone walls. I stepped over the threshold, the train of my emerald dress whispering against the floorboards like a secret.The foyer was a tomb of Victorian excess. Heavy velvet drapes, once crimson but now a bruised, dusty purple, choked the windows. Dust motes danced in the beam of Darius’s flashlight, swirling like tiny ghosts disturbed from their sleep.Nothing had been moved.A half-empty glass of amber liquid sat on a side

DARIUS’S POVThe sex had been a tactical necessity, a way to anchor my soul before the storm, but the lingering heat of Iris’s skin was a distraction I couldn't afford. My body felt light, the jagged edge of my nerves smoothed out, but my wolf was still pacing, sensing the wrongness in the air.The

IRIS’S POVThe world didn’t end with a bang, it ended with the sickening lurch of gravity failing.The floorboards of the sawmill, rotted by decades of damp and now weakened by the fire, groaned one last time before screaming. I felt Darius’s arm tighten around my waist—a solid, unyielding band of
Moaning For The Enemy: Her Sister's Betrothed Alpha 64
DARIUS’S POVThe heat of our bodies was still damp on the air, the scent of our skin thick and heavy in the cramped stone room, but the world had just turned to ice.I didn't let Iris go. I shifted my weight, shielding her naked body with mine, my hand slowly reaching for the knife I’d left on the
Moaning For The Enemy: Her Sister's Betrothed Alpha 63
IRIS’S POVThe motorcycle ride had been a blur of freezing wind and the bruising pressure of my body against Darius’s back. By the time we reached the secondary hideout—a small, windowless stone bunker buried under an old sawmill—my legs were shaking from more than just the cold.Darius didn't spea
