Preying on You: The Alpha King is Stalking Me Twenty-Five
MONICA.There’s nothing left to gather in that apartment. Everything has been destroyed. The only thing left are the clothes on my back, and even then it feels like too much.I never thought I would get kicked out of a shitty apartment in complete shame, but here I am, walking out with time slowed down to a painful degree. Every look. Every whisper. Every scowl aimed at my direction. I feel them all.“I can’t believe she refused that,” Roman was ranting as he helps me into his car and drives away. “Well, it wasn’t a good place anyway. You could do much better. It’s not great that you got breached that easily. I mean, she hardly knew me and she let me in.”He’s right. I didn’t think about that before. Deborah let him in, even though I’m pretty sure he’s never been there before.“It doesn’t matter,” I say, trying to sound strong. “There are other places out here. I guess the apartment gift is more appropriate now.”Roman doesn’t say anything. I can see the guilt in his eyes, but he does

CONTENT WARNING: This is a dark romance book. It explores sensitive storylines and themes that might be uncomfortable for some readers. Descriptions of such topics could get graphic. If this is up your alley, enjoy reading! * * * * *“I reject her. Now get her out of my sight.”The Alpha King’s words lash out in the air like a whip, sharp and shocking. I’m kneeling on the dais, the black veil on my head blocking nearly everything from my sight apart from the view of everyone’s shoes. Never have I gone through anything so humiliating.My entire body is shaking. I have been kept in a dark dungeon all my life. I can’t go back. This is the only chance I have to get out. No friends. No family. No parents.The only person I know is a man called ‘The Disciple’.He’s been like a father to me.“You’re meant to be the Luna Queen of Terra Lycaon,” he always told me. “I will do everything to put you next to the Alpha King… and you will take me to the top with you when the time is right.”I never

SIX YEARS LATER.MONICA.I need money. Of course I’m going to take it.The lights in the club dim down as the song approaches its end. I lie across the stage, sinking my nearly naked body on the sheet of dollar bills lying on the shiny floor.A smile is on my face, that ‘fuck me’ smirk that all the men here love. They all holler, making it rain, and I bask in it for one more moment before sweeping my loot into my arms.I like to think that I’m some sort of a bandit, a temptress who takes what she wants from men who don’t know any better. All to distract myself from the fact that I’m just a desperate stripper, spinning on a pole nearly every night in front of men who very well know that I’d do just about anything for cash.Stepping away from the spotlight to give way to the next girl, I head to the backstage to put my money into the counter.Andy comes in immediately, because god forbid any girl here takes a dollar more than their share.“The cash is all here,” I tell her, holding my a

MONICA.Freezing in front of the client is something that Andy would consider a disgrace. In that regard, I have a clear track record.Until now.I’m completely petrified on the man’s lap. I can feel the tip of his cock rubbing against my ass, and it feels… good. I don’t know why the hell it feels good, because right now I should be disgusted. But I’m not.In fact, I can feel my pussy getting wet.This hasn’t happened before. Not with any client, not with any man I’ve dated. Sure, I can chalk this up to the fact that I haven’t had sex in a very long time due to not being in a relationship, but this is just bizarre.What is this man doing to me?“Sir,” I manage to croak. My face heats up just feeling how big and girthy he is under there. “Sir, I need to—”He cups my chin and makes me look at him. The rest of my words peter out into a gasp when I see his face up close.He’s… handsome. Too handsome, in a way. Almost painfully angelic. His lips are well-shaped, his nose straight, and his

MONICA.Nausea crawls up my throat. My ecstasy screeches into a deadly halt, taking my heart along with it.I leap out of the man’s lap like a scalded animal, rushing towards the door without bothering to cover myself up. The metallic scent of blood somehow stuck to my nose, and every breath is now touched by it.“Hey,” he starts to say, but I got no interest to spare him.Struck with mindless panic, I burst out into the hallway. There’s a bathroom in the corner, and I lock myself in there, hoping against hope that the man won’t follow me here.I press my back against the door, closing my eyes.What the hell was that?Why would he have fresh blood on his sleeve?He was hiding it. It was his shirt that had the blood, and surely he has seen that before he put his jacket on.Was he the one bleeding?Or did he hurt somebody?The worst thought suddenly strikes me.What if he killed someone?A shudder creeps on my body. I wrap my arms around myself. I can’t believe I got myself in this situ

ROMAN.“What the hell are you doing?”August’s voice is the first thing that greets me as I walk through the doors. Don’t get me wrong, August is my friend and he’s usually a pleasant presence, but right now I just want him to leave me alone. Unfortunately for me, he follows me even to my chambers.I exhale sharply. “Come on, Auggie. Don’t you think it’s a bit weird that you followed me all the way to my bedroom?”“I only did that because you’ve been gone all day!” he hisses, closing the door behind him. “Do you know what hell I’ve gone through dealing with the Alphas asking where the hell the King is on his thirtieth birthday? I was tempted to put on your armor and pretend you want to joust or something!”A grin etches on my lips. “That would have been fun to see.”“This is serious, Roman.” August’s face turns dark. When he calls me by my name and not my title, I do know that it’s indeed serious. “Every Alpha was angry and they were demanding answers about the north.”Immediately, my

MONICA.“Someone’s looking rough,” is the first thing I hear when I walk into the girls’ longue.Needless to say, it pulls me back down to earth. I look around to see which one of the girls said that, but only one of them is laughing. I roll my eyes. Of course it’s Elvira. No one else will hate me more than this woman does.Actually, I don’t know her real name. In fact, we don’t really know each other at all. We got hired around the same time and that was enough for her to start a rivalry with me. Every time we get out there, it’s always a competition on who gets to earn more. It gets vicious too. I remember her almost smashing a glass on my feet because she was so mad I earned exactly a hundred dollars more.Why’s it been like this? I don’t really know. I don’t think anyone here does. Elvira just hates my guts.She’s ironing her long black hair now, staring at me through the mirror. The other girls are silent, backing away into the corners. They don’t exactly like her, but they’re al

MONICA.“I’m sorry to interrupt,” the man says in his smooth voice. “I can’t help but overhear, but you should really let her go.”My breath hitches in my throat. I expect Manny to tighten his grip on me just to reinforce his dominance, but he doesn’t. Slowly, he lets go of me, turning his gaze to the man. At this point, I don’t know who I should run away from.The man is even more attractive under good light, to the point where it’s almost unfair. He’s wearing a dark gray shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to reveal his heavily tattooed arm. The fabric clung to his torso nicely, emphasizing every angle. His hair is slicked back this time, his face clear for me to see. His eyes are unbelievably gray from this angle, the prominence of his black pupils making him look like a wolf.I draw in a breath when he looks at me. It’s a mere glance but it’s almost like he can see through me.“Prince charming comes to save the day, huh?” Manny chuckles. “Gotta admit, didn’t expect you to be the typ

MONICA.Everyone is looking at us now. We’re both drenched in coffee, but seeing Roman made me realize why I wasn’t enthusiastic about the visit from August.I resent Roman for being gone so long. For not even texting me back.Is it crazy? Yes. He’s not my boyfriend. We’ve known each other for a month at this point. The attachment I feel for him isn’t healthy, and I completely acknowledge that.But for now, I’m angry.And it seems that so is he.His hand clenches at his sides. The coffee is making dark brown clouds on his crisp blue shirt. Granted, it’s also staining my tank top. I can feel my nipples getting hard from the cold, and his eyes are drifting towards them.Something hard starts to nudge against my abdomen. I look down and notice that his pants are protruding in the front.He’s hard.“You might want to take care of that,” I murmur, pushing past him.But I only manage to through the door before he catches me, his hand around my arm. He’s not even bothering to hide his massiv

ROMAN.“Get out of my fucking way,” I growl, pushing Hyden to the side.Even though he nearly slides out of this wheelchair, he still finds the gall to smile. I can’t help it. Something inside me snaps. I grab him by the collar and slap him so hard across the face that his lower lip starts to bleed.August is horrified. “Roman!”“This is all your fault,” I murmur, gearing for more, but August himself holds me back.That’s the only time I let Hyden go. I don’t care if he has to crawl back to his chair with his useless little legs. I walk away, with the full purpose of heading to Black Rush city and making sure Cassandra knows not to cross me again.But then, Hyden speaks, his voice slurred as he blinks away the effect of my slap. “She’s not in the city. She’s staying here, at the Capital Lakeside Inn.”He doesn’t need to tell me twice. I don’t know how I managed to get to the Inn as fast as I did, especially with August, but somehow I end at the front desk.Wrestling the doorman on his

MONICA.“Which one of you did it?”Andy is shaking as she paces in front of us in her office, all the girls who work for her, the waiters, the bar staff… everyone.All the clients have been told to leave. Elvira had to be rushed out to the hospital in a taxi, because Andy didn’t want any of the clients to be put off. She just said that there was a gas leak that needed to be taken care of. August was promptly kicked out as well. The police wasn’t called.“Who hurt Elvira?” Andy demands, stopping in front of her desk to drink whiskey straight of the bottle. “Her fucking tongue was snipped. She was choking on her own blood. Who the fuck would hurt her?”Silence. I’m just looking at my lap, twisting my fingers.I’m still shaken. I don’t think I’ve said a word since I found the body. I just rushed back to find Andy and point at Elvira.I have to admit, I thought she was dead. There was blood all over the place, and she wasn’t moving. The workplace nurse said that she had a bump on the back

MONICA.“Is there a place where we can talk in private?” the man named August asks Andy, gesturing around with a small smile. “It’s quite crowded in here. And please don’t worry, I’ll compensate you for your troubles.”“You can use my office,” Andy volunteers immediately.August smiles. “Thank you.”“Right this way,” she leads, pointing to the hallway to her left, an area none of the girls have ever dared to tread.Since I’m basically topless, I dip really quick into the lounge to get my coat. Wrapping it around myself, I follow Andy and August to the office.Just as I’m about to get in, Andy squeezes my arm excitedly. “You really lucked out with that gentleman. Don’t forget me when he finally takes you out of this life.”“What?” is all I can say. She rolls her eyes, annoyed, but I can’t help it. I’m still dazed.She just pushes me inside the office and closes the door behind me. August is already sitting in one of the leather couches, looking around the room politely. The decor in th

MONICA.“At least let us come with you to the station.”Both Jackie and Trent have been volunteering to come with me to the police station, but today, I decided to go alone.But I find myself starting to regret that decision as I sit in line, enduring the interested glances from the male officers. I’m just wearing baggy jeans and a loose shirt, with no makeup on. I don’t know why they’re looking.Do they recognize me? Did any of these men become my clients at some point?I wish there’s a woman working here, but sadly, they’re all male. Even the officer I’m staying in line for, who’s supposed to be working on female-centric cases.“Next.”I’m so lost in my thoughts that I don’t even realize I’m next. I move over to the officer, who gestures me to sit.“Good morning,” I greet him, subtly reading the name tag on his front pocket.Officer J. Brady. He’s an older man, probably around his forties, with silver hair already popping in his beard.He hands me some papers. “I’m Jonathan Brady. Y

ROMAN.I’m pinned in my spot, unable to move. I don’t think I can even breathe. The onslaught of memories rushing back to me is a lot, perhaps a little bit too much, because for a second I have to pause and gather my self.How and why. These are the words that repeat in my head. More so on the why, because for the life of me, I have no clue why the ever-elusive Cassandra Cain is here bowing to me from the dais.“I’m not going anywhere,” were her last words to me, when she held me in her arms as I cried for the first time in my life since I was a child, back when my father made his decision to go north.It was a lie, of course. Janus and my father has set us up from the very beginning, letting us meet when I was eight and she was five. We were inseparable. Every day, after our lessons, we would meet under the willow tree behind the palace. We would play all day. Eventually, the play became talk. And when we were getting older, past puberty, the talk became touches.My father told me tha

ROMAN.One look at Hyden is all it takes for my heart to nearly explode in anger. If it wasn’t for the women flocking around me, I would have bashed his head against the nearest rock and bathed in his blood.“I believe choosing a bride for the Alpha King should take more than one day,” August thankfully points out. “Wouldn’t it be rash to speed this process along, knowing that the woman he chooses will be the next Luna Queen?”Janus pauses in thought, which makes Hyden uneasy. This stunt is clearly his way to exert dominance over me and flush out the Human I’m with. He might have perfected manipulation and chaos, but he clearly didn’t think that other Alphas would find August’s suggestion rational. His face is beet-red right now, as he struggles to think of something to say.“It’s just a meeting, maybe just to see his preference,” Hyden recovers. “After all, our Alpha King has rejected many ladies in the past. We need to know what kind of woman he’s looking for.”“Yes, that’s right,” J

ROMAN.The stuff in the trunk is leaking blood. I can smell it from here. I can’t say it’s necessarily a bad smell, because I did a lot to get here.The car stops purring as I park in front of the portal, a structure made of intertwined branches, vines, and magic. It’s not even visible to anyone who’s not a Werewolf, but it doesn’t really matter around this area, because no one is around.That means I can clean up the mess from my good deed in peace.My fingers are dancing on the steering wheel as I turn off the headlights. The wind billows around me when I get out, opening the truck to get the cleaning materials I got before I started my mission tonight.With gloves pulled tight over my arm, I start to work, dousing the whole trunk with a cleaning solution and sweeping it up with rugs. I light a fire on the ground, tossing my blood-stained clothes and the rags, watching it all vanish into black dust.“To the doctor,” I mutter, smirking as everything burns.All the evidence.
