VANESSA DAVIS

★。／｜＼。★

I got up in an instant, apologizing once more before attempting to leave.

“Please don’t leave. I would like to talk to you.” he expresses as he grabs my ankle. I wanted to say no. I mean am i willing to ruin my whole mood with this? By entertaining this... conversation with the man my mother chose? The answer should be no, but it isn’t.

I bob my head, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ears. Which popped back out because my hair chose to fight me. Tom, i remember my mother had called his name. I helped him up, and he pointed towards a nearby cafe where we could go and have a conversation.

I ordered a black coffee, i wanted no sweetness to combat the bitterness in my chest. Tom got the same thing, and for the first five minutes we don’t talk. Then he starts.

“I know you don’t like me. And your mother bringing you here under false pretenses only makes you hate me more.” since he knows why is he wasting his time trying to talk to me? I am not going to ris

  • Resisting The Alpha Cowboy   Chapter 158

    ★。＼｜／。★VANESSA DAVIS★。／｜＼。★I stayed low, cradling the first aid box tight against my chest as I crept through the edge of the trees, circling the back of the house. Every snap of a branch underfoot made my heart jump into my throat. My wounds stung—sharp cuts slicing through adrenaline, demanding attention. But I couldn’t stop.I needed distance. A straight shot to the car.The house came back into view. I crouched behind the shed, peering through the shadows just in time to see them—Colton’s pack.Wolves. Fast and fluid. A blur of muscle and fur storming through the front door like a silent avalanche.I exhaled.Relief and urgency warred inside me.I bolted for the car.The keys were already in my pocket—thank God. I yanked the door open and slid in, setting the first aid box on the passenger seat as gently as I could, like it might explode if jostled too hard. Which it might since I have no clue what those vials are for. What they contain, or even what they can do.Blood smeared

    ★。＼｜／。★VANESSA DAVIS★。／｜＼。★I barely flinched at Alina’s venom. Her words tried to claw beneath my skin, but I didn’t let them. I kept writing, scribbling lies wrapped in truth as she unraveled herself across the living room. Her voice had become sharper, brittle and cutting, like a thread stretched too thin.“Then you arrived,” she spat, leaning forward now, her fingers clenched tightly around the armrest of her chair. “Just like me. A city girl who didn’t like the countryside—only you... you made his heart flutter. And then it occurred to me. Getting rid of you would be the one thing that would hurt Colton. And I’d take a bullet to the head first before I let him live happily with you when he rejected me.”The moment hung in the air like a guillotine suspended above my neck.That’s when I heard it.A breath. A shuffle. Too close. Too wrong.From behind me, just slightly to the right, came the sound of movement—a calculated, silent lurch toward me. My body reacted before my brain c

    ★。＼｜／。★VANESSA DAVIS★。／｜＼。★I kept my hands in plain sight after Alina disappeared into the hallway to get the note and pen, the shadows swallowing her up completely. The narrow corridor behind her had no lights — just darkness, thick and deliberate. My eyes adjusted slowly, and in that haze, I saw him again.The man in the shadows.He moved like he belonged there. Not clumsy. Not curious. Familiar with the space. He followed Alina halfway, just until she turned the corner, then stopped—hovering, listening, maybe watching me. The second his shape disappeared behind the wall, I felt the hairs rise on my arms. To be entirely honest, I expected her to have someone around her. I would have brought someone in to keep me safe, or to help me ambush. I mean, I’m doing the same. I brought Colton and a bunch of wolves with me. That’s called being cautious. No smart bitch would meet a stranger without protection. I wrapped my fingers tighter around the can she'd given me. Cold. Condensation

    ★。＼｜／。★VANESSA DAVIS★。／｜＼。★Alina came back from the kitchen, looked at me then at the hallway briefly. She glanced towards the windows and then back at me. The house wasn’t small, but it felt like if i stayed in here longer I’d get an infection. They definitely don’t live here. Alina stood at the center of the living room like she owned every breath in the air. It took like fifteen minutes. Well it’s her house. Maybe she did own every breath, in her own mind. Her eyes flicked over me, measuring, reading. She hadn’t stopped smiling since she opened the door — a practiced smile, pleasant on the outside, but holding something venomous underneath. Her eyes finally seemed to register that her standing there made her look like a huge creep. “I’ll be right back,” she said, brushing a loose wave of hair over her shoulder. “You’re going to want a drink for this conversation. I’ll be right back.”Before I could object, she was already moving toward the kitchen — hips swaying, silk robe tra

    ★。＼｜／。★VANESSA DAVIS★。／｜＼。★The wheels of my car crunched over the gravel road as I pulled up across the street from Tate’s house. It was ten minutes to eight. The sky was darkening into a bruised blue, the air still and watching, like the town itself was holding its breath. My headlights caught on the mailbox at the end of the path and the cracked front steps leading to the porch. There were no lights on in the house—just the faintest amber glow leaking through the curtains. Quiet. Too quiet.I parked the car, turned off the engine, and sat there for a moment, hand clenched on the steering wheel. My pulse was steady, but I felt the pressure building under my skin. This wasn’t just a conversation. It was a trap, or a test. Maybe both. I don’t really care. I’m doing this, but I still can’t shake the nervousness. Should I park further away? Just in case she comes out while I’m in there to slash the tires?Ugh, I don’t know. I guess I don’t need to worry about that right now.I glance

    ★。＼｜／。★VANESSA DAVIS★。／｜＼。★I hate how quiet Colton gets when he's scared.Not afraid for himself. Never that. But for me—when the fear creeps in and he can’t control it, he goes silent, jaw tight and hands clenched like he's trying to crush the fear right out of his bones.We were still in Abel’s house, Tate locked up downstairs in the cellar like the rat he was. The air in the room was heavy with tension, thicker than the heat outside. Colton stood by the window, back turned, arms folded across his chest, watching the wind move through the fields as if it might answer him.His father had left to do some work around the farm, he said he’d be sending Curtis to keep an eye on the house. So now I’ve come up with a plan to handle Alina, but for that, I need Colton to accept my decision. I cleared my throat, stepping forward with purpose, but my voice was steady. “I’m going to her.”His shoulders tensed. He didn’t turn around. “No.”“I’m not asking.” I folded my arms under my breast.

    ★。＼｜／。★VANESSA DAVIS★。／｜＼。★Tate sat slumped in the chair, pale and sweat-slicked, like something had been siphoned from his spine. He’d broken, but not in the loud, sobbing way I expected. No screaming. No begging. Just a whisper and a look in his eyes like he’d seen hell blink back.I need to take notes from Abel though i hope to never be the one torturing someone for information. And that brings up another thought. My line of job is dangerous but I’m too young to quit. I mean, think about it. I’m not even thirty. So why retire now?“She’s staying at my place,” he said hoarsely. “Alina.” This is what we got him for? I could have guessed that. Damn, i should have broken into his place instead. Colton stood still beside me, arms crossed and shoulders stiff. I could feel the heat rolling off of him—anger, worry, something else bubbling under the surface. He didn’t trust how easy this part was.“She expecting you back soon?” I asked.Tate gave a tight nod. “Yeah. Probably within the

    ▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥 We took Tate and left Bastillo to stew in whatever mess he calls a conscience.But before I got in the car, I made a call.“Tail the sheriff,” I told Aaron, one of my wolves I trusted with things that mattered. “If he so much as drives to the next county, I want to know. I don’t care if he’s getting fast food—call me.”Then I hung up and turned back to Tate, who was still coughing, still weak, still trying to act like he hadn’t nearly been choked out by a madman with a badge. We didn’t give him time to recover. I grabbed one arm, Vanessa took the other, and we hauled him to my car like the sack of shit he was.We shoved him in the trunk. No ceremony. No seatbelt. Just a solid slam of metal on metal, and the kind of silence that made it clear he wasn’t going to enjoy the ride.I drove.Out of Dusty Creek. Past the dead fields, the broken fences, and the ghost-town gas station no one dared stop at anymore. The roads felt long, stretched with tension and the promi

  • Resisting The Alpha Cowboy   Chapter 150

    ▄︻デ══━一 COLTON HAYES💥 I watched the sheriff’s hands tighten around Tate’s throat, watched the red crawl up Tate’s face like a spreading infection as the sheriff lifted him up and slammed him against the nearest wall. He clawed at Bastillo’s forearms, legs kicking, face twisting as he choked on air that wouldn’t come. And the sheriff—fuck, the bastard wasn’t even flinching. His face was red with rage, spit flying as he roared.I almost moved my chair out of the way just to stay away from the splatter.“What the fuck is wrong with you, Tate?! The FBI?! You’ve made this a federal problem? What the hell is your fucking problem? Fuck! I shouldn’t have hired you, you worthless piece of shit! You're not worth a damn!”He slammed Tate into the concrete wall again.And again.And again.Tate’s head cracked against the cinderblock with a sickening thud, his body flailing like a rag doll. The guy tried to fight back, weak punches against a man twice his size, but it was pathetic. Sheriff Basti
