CHAPTER 8: The Alpha King's Kiss of Death

At the top of Olympus Tower "the tallest building in the heart of Metropolis", Chloe Vanguard stood on the glass wall balcony. Beneath his feet, the sparkling city lights looked like stardust scattered across the universe. And tonight, this city belongs to his family. His.

Her black dress fluttered gently in the night breeze from a thousand feet high. His left hand held the Bloodmoon Pack's official disbandment report which would be published to all werewolf associations tomorrow morning. A stroke of a landslide victory resulting from a deadly slap.

However, Chloe's focus was disturbed when a strong, hot arm suddenly wrapped around her slender waist from behind. The scent of wild sandalwood, combined with a deadly authority, penetrated into every nerve of his brain.

Alexander Sterling.

The Alpha King not only wrapped his arms around him, but lowered his head, burying his face in the crook of Chloe's neck. Alexander's breath blew warmly on the woman's smooth white skin, exuding a charm that made the wolf in any woman submit and kneel in begging.

But Chloe is not just any woman. She is the Queen of the Vanguard.

"Don't you have anything else to do besides hug me like a crazy honey bear, Your Majesty?" Chloe scolded flatly, but she didn't push away the hug.

A deep, deep, erotic laugh sounded in Chloe's ears. A laugh that could make a sea of ​​blood churn. "My main job as king is to ensure that my Queen doesn't lack oxygen for even a second, dear Chloe," whispered Alexander, his light kiss landing mischievously behind Chloe's ear, making the woman shiver slightly.

Alexander turned Chloe's body to face him. The Alpha King's fiery red eyes collided with Chloe's calm brown eyes. 

For the past three years, it was this terrible man who taught Chloe how to kill the compassion in her chest. Alexander is a cold-blooded devil to the world, but an absolute love slave when it comes to Chloe. In fact, since the first time Grandpa Vanguard brought the devastated Chloe, it was Alexander who first offered him the throne of his world so that Chloe would have enough footing to step on anyone who had ever hurt her.

"You ruined tonight's auction. You ruined my plan to buy them tomorrow for a tenth of a cent," Chloe said pretending to be angry. 

"They're looking at you with disgusting looks, Chloe. I almost burned down the building if you hadn't stopped me," said Alexander coldly. The man threaded his big fingers through Chloe's black hair. Her gaze softened as she caressed Chloe's cheek. "Is this revenge enough to amuse your wolf?"

Chloe was silent for a moment. His eyes wandered down there. Pack Bloodmoon has gone bankrupt. Seraphina had been trampled to pieces and caged in filth. Julian had been paralyzed by regret that would torment him until his last breath. 

Face Slapping of the small insects was complete. But behind Bloodmoon's sudden downfall, there was an unseen hand from the Red Wolf sect in the north who was trying to play with Vanguard's economic flow to attack his grandfather. Chloe is not stupid. Bloodmoon's bankruptcy was part of a dirty domino effect of Vanguard's mafia rivals. 

And Chloe was just starting to warm up her butcher machine.

"So not enough," Chloe's eyes flashed with the glint of a cold-blooded murderer. "There are giant rats in the North hiding behind the destruction of Bloodmoon. They think they are weakening the Vanguard family. My eyes wouldn't close if I didn't put their necks on a golden tray."

A proud laugh boomed from Alexander's chest. The King took one of Chloe's hands, pressing it to his own chest where a wild and savage heartbeat beat strongly.

"This is why I kneel to you, my Queen. Your cruelty is an addiction to me," Alexander whispered obsessively. 

The giant man lowered his lips. Not an arrogant forced kiss, but a slow, intoxicating kiss, full of absolute devotion and the longing of a tyrant who gave up half his life. A deadly kiss that would destroy Julian's sanity if the outcast witnessed it.

Chloe closed her eyes, returning Alexander's kiss. Tonight he holds half the world, with the Alpha King as his shield, and his genius brain as a sky-splitting spear.
