I paced the cramped living room of Brielle's house, my fists clenched so tight my knuckles ached. It had been a day since that disastrous announcement, and every second felt like a countdown to my breaking point. Gideon had promised to swing by with updates, and I needed them now. Anything to fuel my plan to tear Devon down from the inside.

The door creaked open, and Gideon slipped in, his face etched with exhaustion. He glanced around before shutting it behind him. “Irene. Brielle here too?”

“She's in the kitchen,” I snapped, waving him over to the table. “Sit. Tell me everything. What's that bastard up to now?”

Gideon dropped into a chair, rubbing his temples. “He's moved in. Settled into the penthouse at the Pack house like he owns the place—which he does, I guess. First thing this morning, he called a meeting with the betas and gammas. Issued reforms right off the bat.”

I leaned forward, arms crossed. “What kind of reforms? Spill it.”

  • Ruin Me, Alpha   ALONE WITH THE DEVIL

    Dawn came too soon. I dressed plainly, in a new mini dress I had gotten during the week, clevage out in the open, a small scale wounded around my neck to hide the fading marks, and headed to the Pack house. Guards nodded me through—Silvercrest ones, of course.The penthouse was guarded. Father had never lived in the penthouse before. He had been planning to give it to Simon and I when we got married.Simon, that bastard...It was breathtaking. The penthouse in the middle of no where. Made with black granite. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a jacuzzi just by the entrance.Wooden stairs led to the entrance. I stepped in, two strong-faced men guiding the door. They were pack warriors. When I walked into the house, the strong scent of an Alpha hitting me, almost knocking me down. The last time I felt that scent was from my father, a month ago.The memory of my father renewed the hatred I had for him in me.“He is upstairs. In his office.”One of the men by the door spoke, although his voice

  • Ruin Me, Alpha   REVENGE TASTES LIKE HIS NAME

    His voice echoes through the hall, that same smooth, commanding tone that had whispered filthy things in my ear last night. “It is of great delight to have you here, people of Ironfang.” I can't breathe. My hands clench into fists, nails digging into my palms. Alpha Devon Warner. The bastard who framed my father, killed my brother, ruined everything—and I let him fuck me. My chest felt heavy, it felt like I couldn't breathe.Brielle's grip tightens on my arm. “Irene, what's wrong? You're shaking.”I shove her hand off. “Nothing. Just… Just shut up.”Devon continues, his icy gray eyes scanning the crowd like he owns us all. And he does now, doesn't he? “Today marks a new era. The Ironfang and Silvercrest Packs are merging under one banner—mine. As your new Alpha, I promise strength, unity, and prosperity for those who pledge loyalty.”The Omegas murmur in excitement, some clapping. I want to vomit. After all father had done to this ungrateful weak bastards? He literally gave them shelt

  • Ruin Me, Alpha   ALPHA DEVON WARNER

    The hammering is the first thing I hear.Thud. Thud. Thud.My eyes snap open.I jolt upright so fast my head spins. My hands fly to my surroundings, and I realize—wooden walls, thin blanket, the faint smell of dried herbs.Brielle's Omega house.I blink hard. “What the hell…?”The hammering continues outside, it sounded like someone chopping wood, the strikes hitting in angry rhythm. I rub my eyes, trying to process how I got here, but the memories hit me like a slap.The party.The stranger.His fingers on my waist.His deep, smooth, sinful voice.His body above mine, thrusting in.My panties in his hand.I groan and bury my face in my palms. “Fuck. I actually left them with him.”I remember lying to him—“Let me make a call”—then sneaking out of the cabin barefoot, my dress twisted, my panties literally gone, stumbling through the woods like a lunatic. I didn't even look back. I felt him staring at me from his upstairs window. I could feel those gray eyes on my spine.But I didn't tu

    “Who are you?”He didn't answer my question.Instead, his voice came low, smooth as smoke. “Can't you smell my rank?”I frowned. “What?”“Your wolf,” he said. “She should tell you what I am.”I gave a short laugh, the kind that sounded more like defeat. “She doesn't talk to me anymore.”He tilted his head slightly, those gray eyes watching me like I was a puzzle. “Doesn't talk to you?”“Not since my father was arrested,” I said quietly, my fingers tracing the rim of my glass. “I've lost everything that made me who I was. My wolf, my strength… even my scent feels weaker. I'm practically human now.”He leaned back in his seat. “Alpha's daughter, right?”I nodded, forcing a smile that didn't reach my eyes. “Used to be. Now I'm just the girl living in the Omega quarters. My father's gone, my title's gone, and the son of a bitch who made it happen is still out there, pretending to be a saint.” I took a long sip, the liquor burning my throat harshly.His gaze sharpened. “Name?”“Alpha Devon

  • Ruin Me, Alpha   CHAPTER THREE

    It had been a month since they arrested by father.A month since I lost my home, my title, my unborn child—yes, when I lost it, the Pack doctor said it was normal because I already parted with my mate so, everything that tied us together would be taken away from me—and everything that came with being a Harvey.Now I lived in the Omega quarters, the lowest part of Ironfang territory, in a cramped wooden house with Brielle and her mother, Sandra. The scent of damp clothes, boiled herbs, and wood smoke stuck to everything here. Every morning, I woke up to the sound of buckets being filled, children crying, and women whispering.They always whispered.“Isn't that the Alpha's daughter?”“She used to live in the main pack house.”“Guess she's one of us now.”Today was no different.Brielle and I had just stepped out when I spotted Beta Gideon waiting near the edge of the path. He stood tall as always, though there was something heavier about his posture now, he had the kind of weariness onl
