ROMAN.

“Are we not supposed to be fitting our suits right now?” August asks, wiping sweat off his brow as we carry the books up to my office.

The answer to that is yes. We’re supposed to be lugging books from an old library up to my office so we could study them before my wedding.

It’s insane, I know. But the thing is, I haven’t been able to sleep or even keep still at the thought of Creatures just doing that around Monica. Somehow it sounds more dangerous than straight up attacking her.

I can find a way to help her train. But when this thing wants to be closer to her… well, I can’t help her train against that.

“Well, you saw what those things did to the deer,” I tell August. “You can’t tell me that’s normal. Janus suggested we go to a library in the northwest to find a clue. That’s where our oldest books are. That’s why I sent the scribes to get the books.”

“All of them?” August asks in complete puzzlement. “Wait, don’t answer that. I don’t want to have to go through all of this when

  • His Regret: The Alpha King Wants Me Now   Eighty-Five

    MONICA.“It’s my wedding,” I tell myself internally as I stare at myself in the mirror. “It’s my wedding, and the last thing I need to worry about is Hyden.”I’ve been chanting this to myself since yesterday, when Padma and I went home from the shop. I asked Janus if Hyden was around at that time, and all he could tell me was, “I’m not entirely sure.”It wasn’t what I would call reassuring. In fact, that answer is what brought my anxiety to the highest level. I haven’t told Padma about it, mainly because I know she would tell August and August would tell Roman. That would probably create some chaos that I know could spiral out of control easily.And it’s our wedding. Is it really worth it to put that much stress on Roman?The answer is that it’s not. I don’t want him to worry about me or fight his brother.But I would be lying if I said that it wasn’t eating away at me.Still, I put on a big smile as my ladies attended to me. Padma is arranging my hair into this beautiful updo with li

  • His Regret: The Alpha King Wants Me Now   Eighty-Three

    MONICA.When I wake up, the first thing that hits me is the splitting headache that’s making me feel like someone drilled into my temples overnight. The room is already bright, but I don’t open my eyes just yet.I know what happened last night. I was never one to hold my alcohol but I know exactly what went down. I made a huge fool of myself, and Roman put me in my place by giving me the longest orgasm of my life.Honestly, I don’t know why he did that. I would have kicked myself out for the things I assumed.Seriously, what was I thinking, accusing him of so many things like that? I don’t even know where half of what I said came from. I certainly don’t really feel that way. Maybe it’s just the whole Creature ideal….I feel the spot next to mine, hoping to come into contact with his bare skin and his warmth. But the bed around me is cold, empty. Which means that he left before I can even wake up.“Fuck my life,” I groan, and to my surprise, someone giggles.I lift my head and see Padm

    ROMAN.Monica smiles at me at first, but then I break off a piece of the satin belt and tie it around her face, positioning the knot against her mouth. That quickly wipes off the grin.“Open up,” I urge her, pressing the knot against her lips until she opens her mouth. Her teeth clenches like she’s about to bite me, but I just tease her with a soft kiss. “Not tonight, siren.”She protests, no doubt lobbing a string of profanities my way. But her muffled words are music to my ears. I want to completely obscure her vision with a blindfold but I want her to see everything.I run a finger down her leg, and she’s already breathing hard. Her body is already tensing under my touch and it’s exactly what I want. The scent of her uncertainty is so sweet to me, because right now this is not about her comfort. She pushed me to the edge. It’s time for her to recognize who I really am. Who I’ve always been.“Spread your legs.” My command lashes through the air, as crisp as a whip. “Show me that pus

    ROMAN.The drive back home is intense. The air around Monica and I feel almost electric, and I want to break the silence by asking her what she’s thinking. But I think I have an idea.It’s what happened in there. The six-pointed star that the Creatures created. The fact that one of those things didn’t attack her even though she got in the way.The how, the why… all of it.I want to ask her what she feels about it, what her theories could be. How it could all relate to her past. Maybe she knows something that I don't. Maybe her input can give me something to follow. I'm scrambling for something. But the thing is, I know she probably doesn’t understand. I mean, no one gets it either. I could turn my brain around all I want and I would still know nothing.The only chance I have is that library in the Northwest that Janus mentioned. I didn’t say anything to Monica in fear of giving her false hope.There’s only silence between us now. We arrive to the palace, and since no one seems to be c

    MONICA."NO!" I scream, my vision going dark momentarily as fear grips my heart.Things seem to happen in slow motion. Beatrice also screams at the top of her lungs, but instead of shielding Larissa like I thought she would, she runs to the opposite direction and dives straight into the bushes to hide.Larissa is left alone, completely defenseless, shielding herself with her arms like this was going to do something.I don't know what possessed me. But my instincts kick in and I'm suddenly running faster than air, slipping between Larissa and the Creature."Run!" I yell at her, facing the Creature myself. "Beatrice, please get her out of here!"That was a shot in the dark. I wasn't sure if Beatrice would even listen, given what she already did after the attack. But to my surprise, she emerges from her hiding place and holds her hands out to Larissa, who cries running to her.They disappear again, which is what I wanted. That part gives me some comfort.But the next part... well, I don'
