You could have been hurt

Chapter 66

The car ride back to the estate was the kind of silence that had texture.

Not empty. Full. Three people in a moving vehicle are processing different versions of the same event and none of us is ready to turn it into a conversation yet.

I leaned my head against the window and watched the city move past in streaks of light and thought about Caden's face in that last moment before he turned and disappeared into the crowd. Not angry. Not the wounded entitlement I'd learned to read and

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    Keep Moving Aria

    Chapter 79 “I want you to suck it,” he whispered, voice low and rough, as he shoved his boxers down his thighs. I nodded, heat flooding my cheeks. A slow, satisfied smile curved his mouth. “You are a very obedient girl,” he murmured, stepping closer until his hips were level with my face. The scent of him, skin and salt and pure male, hit me hard. He didn’t ease in. He took. One hand fisted in my hair as he pushed forward, sliding thick and heavy across my tongue. I wrapped my lips around him, pressing just enough, letting my tongue swirl over the head the way I knew would make him lose control. A deep growl rumbled out of his chest, vibrating through me. I looked up at him through my lashes and something raw and electric passed between us. For once, I wasn’t thinking about tomorrow or yesterday or the thousand reasons this was insane. There was only the weight of him on my tongue, the way my jaw ached, the way his fingers tightened in my hair like he was anchoring himself to ear

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    Scream my name

    Chapter 78The clock on his nightstand read 11:59.I was staring at the ceiling and I don't know when I started counting the seconds but I was, and at midnight I said it before I'd decided to."It's my birthday."The words were quiet. They filled the room anyway.Matthias had been in the chair across from the bed with his drink and whatever he was working through in his own head. I heard him set the glass down. Heard him stand.He crossed to the bed slowly and stopped at the edge of it, looking down at me with an expression I couldn't fully read in the low light but felt clearly."Nineteen," he said."Yes."He was quiet for a moment."You didn't mention it," he said."I didn't think it mattered tonight." I looked at the ceiling. "My father is in the medical wing. Nothing about tonight is the right context for a birthday.""And yet you said it.""And yet I said it." I paused. "I don't know why.""I do," he said quietly.I turned my head to look at him.He sat on the edge of the bed. No

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    Stay

    Chapter 77The medical wing had the particular smell of places that existed for emergencies. Antiseptic and something underneath it that was harder to name. The smell of a space that had been built for the worst moments and had seen enough of them to carry it in the walls.I stood outside my father's room and watched the door and didn't let myself think about my first life. About watching from a back seat and not being able to reach anyone and the cold that came when there was nothing left to fight against.He was alive. The doctor had said it clearly. Stable.I kept having to remind myself of that because the image of the blood on his shirt kept replacing it.Matthias came to stand beside me.He'd been on calls for the last forty minutes. I'd heard the quality of them through the corridor even at low volume. Not the measured CEO voice. Something colder and more direct, the voice of someone who had decided that careful management of the situation had reached its limit, and what came n

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    Too Late

    Chapter 76The word *now* sat on my screen for three seconds before I moved.One word. No context. No photograph. Just the certainty of someone who had been waiting for the right moment and had decided this was it.I was already moving when Dante appeared in the corridor."My father," I said. "Something's happening."He didn't ask how I knew. He was already on his radio.We ran.The maintenance wing was wrong the moment we came through the door.Too many people are moving in the same direction. Voices overlapping, someone calling for medical, someone else saying *stay back* with the urgency of a person who had seen something they were trying to prevent others from seeing.Dante pushed through, and I followed in his wake. Then, the crowd parted enough, and I saw him.My father was on the floor near his workbench with two maintenance workers crouched beside him and blood soaking through his shirt from somewhere in his midsection. Too much blood. The kind of quantity that made rational

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    The Wrong Kind of Quiet

    Chapter 75I knew it was a trap before I took the second step into the east corridor.I went in anyway.The corridor was too quiet in the specific way that spaces went quiet when someone had cleared them deliberately rather than because nothing was happening. No ambient noise from other parts of the building is bleeding through. No distant voices or footsteps or the hum of the ventilation system doing its ordinary work. Just the particular silence of a space that had been prepared.I slowed my pace but didn't stop.If the internal source had been watching my responses to threats against my father, they were building a profile. What I did when afraid. What I did when angry. How I moved under pressure.The way to disrupt a profile was to do something unexpected.So instead of retreating or calling Dante, I kept walking. Slowly. With the deliberate patience of someone who had decided they were going to understand the shape of what was in front of them before reacting to it.The lights o

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    The Alpha Moves

    Chapter 74Morning came with a different quality of light.Not softer. Harder. The kind of clarity that arrived after a decision had been made while most people were sleeping and the world hadn't caught up yet.I noticed the changes before I'd had coffee. Two additional guards at the corridor junction near my room. A camera repositioned to cover the blind spot near the service entrance that I'd noted three weeks ago. Doors that had operated on a casual open-door policy now closed with the particular firmness of things that had been given a purpose.The estate had reorganised itself overnight.At the centre of it, as always, was Matthias.He was behind his desk when I came in. Jacket on. Files open. The version of him that belonged to seven in the morning and large problems."How bad is it?" I said.He looked up. "Sit down.""I'd rather stand.""I know." He set down the file. "Sit down anyway."I sat.He came around the desk and took the chair across from me rather than retreating to t
