DEVON

Twenty-three days.

I cut into the steak on my plate, the silver knife slicing through the rare meat with a satisfying slide. Blood pooled on the porcelain, mixing with the peppercorn sauce.

Twenty-three days since Voltage dragged her out of my house. Twenty-three days of silence. Twenty-three days of watching the clock on the wall tick down toward my damnation.

I chewed slowly, savoring the metallic taste.

In less than twenty-four hours, the loop would seal. The window was closing. The wi

  • Ruin Me, Alpha   The Reckoning

    DEVONI didn’t move. I didn’t even breathe.Irene stood in the center of my dining hall, a vibrant, bleeding wound of a woman against the cold mahogany and stone. The red dress was a statement—a scream of defiance against the white lace Voltage undoubtedly had waiting for her. Her amber eyes were rimmed with red, her chest heaving, her scent a chaotic storm of vanilla and pure, unadulterated adrenaline.I let the silence stretch. I let the clock on the wall tick once, twice, three times. I was the Alpha. I was the man who had lived through many deaths . I wasn't going to let her see the way my heart was currently trying to punch its way out of my ribs.I set the bourbon bottle down with a slow, deliberate click.“You’re late for breakfast,” I said, my voice as smooth as the silk of her dress.Irene didn’t flinch. She marched forward, her heels clicking like a countdown on the marble floor. She stopped right in front of me, so close I could feel the heat radiating off her skin. Her hat

Blood pooled on the porcelain, mixing with the peppercorn sauce.Twenty-three days since Voltage dragged her out of my house. Twenty-three days of silence. Twenty-three days of watching the clock on the wall tick down toward my damnation.I chewed slowly, savoring the metallic taste.In less than twenty-four hours, the loop would seal. The window was closing. The witch had been clear about the parameters: make her love me, or get stuck in this hellish repetition for eternity. If the clock struck midnight tonight and Irene didn’t look at me with something other than murderous hatred, I was trapped.I swallowed and took a sip of the bourbon I’d poured for breakfast. It burned going down.I didn’t mind being trapped. I didn’t mind the hell. I just hated losing.The heavy oak doors of the dining hall swung open, banging against the walls. I didn’t look up. I k

  • Ruin Me, Alpha   The Letting Go

    DEVONThe grandfather clock in the hallway chimed seven times.Precise.I liked precision. It was the only thing I could control in a world that insisted on resetting itself every time I was killed by the woman I loved.I stood by the head of the mahogany dining table, pouring a glass of dark red Cabernet. The liquid swirled against the crystal, blood-red and rich. I didn’t drink immediately. I just watched the double doors at the far end of the room.They opened.The air in the room shifted instantly. It wasn’t just a change in pressure; it was a shift in gravity.Irene stood in the doorway.I had ordered the dress myself, a calculated move. It was black, sleeveless, with a plunging neckline that stopped dangerously low, exposing the creamy skin of her chest. The fabric clung to her curves like a second skin, spilling down to the floor in a pool of midnight silk. Against the black, her red hair was a violent explosion of color, cascading over her shoulders like fire.She looked like

    DEVONApple juice.It was crisp, sweet, and cold against the back of my throat. I took another sip, the condensation on the glass wetting my fingertips, and leaned back in the velvet armchair I’d pulled to the side of the bed.The room was silent, save for the rhythmic hum of the central air and the soft, uneven breathing of the woman in the bed.Irene.She was still asleep. The sedative pinch I’d given her back at the engagement party—was it only twelve hours ago?—had been precise. I didn’t use drugs. I didn’t use magic. Just anatomy. But the stress of the night, the emotional toll of seeing me, and the wolfsbane I had pumping into the air had kept her under longer than usual.I checked my watch. 10:03 AM.We were making good time. In the real timeline, I hadn't even known what she looked like, yet... I had caught a glimpse of her during an entreaty and had gotten immediately obsessed.Then, few days later, I heard she was getting engaged with Voltage which is why I started that war

  • Ruin Me, Alpha   The Abduction

    DEVONI sat in the driver’s seat, the lights cut, parked on a ridge overlooking the Ironfang ceremonial grounds. The darkness inside the car was comforting. Below me, the engagement party was in full swing.Alpha Theo had chosen the West Field for the occasion. It was a sprawling expanse of manicured grass usually reserved for combat training, but tonight, it had been transformed into a grotesque display of wealth. Massive white marquees glowed with golden fairy lights, open-sided to let the night breeze through. Tables draped in white linen were arranged in a semi-circle around a raised dais. Servants moved like ants, carrying trays of roasted venison and sparkling wine.It was a waste of resources. It was a waste of time.But my eyes weren’t on the decor. They were locked on the woman sitting at the center of the high table.Irene.In this loop, she wore sage green. It fitted her perfectly, along with that red hair I had once fisted while we fucked against my office mahogany desk.

  • Ruin Me, Alpha   The Engagement Dinner

    DEVON​The sound of Alpha Rowan cutting into his steak was enough to make me want to burn the building down. Scrape. Clink. Chew.​I sat at the long mahogany table, swirling the amber liquid in my glass. I didn’t drink it. I just watched the light catch the alcohol, counting the seconds. In exactly three seconds, my father, Raymond, would clear his throat and offer Rowan more wine.​One.​Two.​Three.​“More vintage, Alpha Rowan?” Raymond asked, his voice eager, bordering on pathetic. “It’s from the southern vineyards. A spoil of war.”​“Don’t mind if I do, Raymond,” Rowan chuckled, holding out his glass.​I closed my eyes for a brief moment. I had lived this dinner before.​In the real timeline, I flipped the table and killed Rowan before the appetizers arrived. I sat in silence until the dessert came, bored out of my mind. Then, I walked out before the main course, in a blood-stained shirt.​But tonight was different. Tonight, the clock in my head was ticking louder than usual.​Twe

  • Ruin Me, Alpha   NIGHT, NIGHT ALPHA

    “Finally,” Devon growled against my mouth, the word vibrating through my bones.His tongue dragged slow and deliberate over the spilled blood on my cheek, licking every warm drip clean like it was the sweetest thing he’d ever tasted. I shuddered, hating the way my thighs clenched around his waist.

    Morning came too fast.My eyes snapped open to the dim light leaking through the thin curtains of the Omegas’ quarters. The mattress under me felt too small, the air too cold, and my heartbeat too loud.I was still trembling.Everything I’d seen in that safe—everything Devon had done—echoed like a

    Irene's POVI slipped out of the penthouse just before dawn, shoes in my hand so my heels wouldn't click on the marble. Devon was still sprawled across the couch, one arm flung over the spot I'd vacated, chest rising slow and deep. I told myself I wasn't running. I was surviving.Two days later the
