Roman POV

Her scent had led him straight to the archive. Though faint, it was unmistakable beneath the musty layers of old paper and dust.

His first instinct had been to follow it, to corner her among the shelves and demand answers before the questions ate him alive.

But he held back instead. It would be better to ask her directly when she returned, without an audience and without the added strain of catching her somewhere she might feel cornered enough t

  • Sentenced to The Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 57: It was Me

    Roman POVRoman turned to leave with Regan, but Thora moved faster. She snatched the phone out of his hand before he could stop her.Her eyes locked on the screen.Roman watched the color drain from her face as her own photo stared back at her under a bold red banner: MISSING.The news anchor's voice was calm and rehearsed. According to a reliable source, Thora Storm had last been seen at the Valcourt mansion three months ago, where she'd gone for an audition. Authorities were looking into it.But it wasn't the report that seemed to shake her most. It was the footage that followed.An elderly coworker, teary-eyed, begging for any information.A neighbor, holding up a flyer.According to the news, these strangers had spent their weekends searching for her."I didn't think anyone would notice, let alone look for me." She whispered.The words landed somewhere deep in his chest. He said nothing. After a moment, she pressed the phone back into his palm, her fingers trembling against his.“

  • Sentenced to The Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 56: He Chose Them. I Choose Me

    Thora POVShe was helpless against their grip. So, she braced herself, certain the next thing she'd feel was claws digging into her neck when a sound cut through the hall and stopped everyone cold.It was a video playing. From what she could catch, it sounded very much like the Culling. Caius theatric voice was hard to miss.When she deigned to look up, the video was playing from a phone held up by Regan.Silence dropped over the room like a blanket. Morpheus abandoned her entirely, turning instead to stare at the phone."What is that?""Elder, it just came in from an unknown number." Regan's jaw was tight. "It’s an aerial recording of the Culling. There’s a text message attached."Without waiting for permission, he went on to read the message aloud. "It says, Release Thora Storm unharmed, or this goes live on national news in two hours."Morpheus reached for the phone and scrutinized the message. Then, Vance did the same till the phone ended in Roman’s hand as well.“How did he get y

  • Sentenced to The Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 55: His People or His Mate?

    Roman POVHe had never felt so blindsided in his life.Roman's jaw tightened as his eyes moved over the file Vance had slid across the desk.Part of him wanted to reject every word of it. The rational part couldn't ignore how neatly it lined up with the doubts he'd already been carrying about Thora's behavior.She'd pleaded for Enzo to be spared.Looking back now, that plea felt far too personal to have come from simple kindness. Did she still love him?His fingers curled around the papers as he read through their messages.Thora: I'm excited to see you on Thursday. I found the perfect dress. It's also in your favorite color. 🥰Lorenzo: Can't wait to see you in it.Thora: If you're great company, maybe you could even see how good the dress looks on your bedroom floor 💋Lorenzo: Oh baby, I'll be the perfect date then. It's a promise 😁He shut the file before the urge to hurl it through the window won out. She'd wanted this man. Probably still did. That stung.He looked up to find Gi

  • Sentenced to The Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 54: Say Something, Alpha

    Thora POVIt had been an hour, and her heart still hadn't stopped racing.No one had bothered explaining why she had been brought into the dungeon, or what crime she'd supposedly committed.One moment she'd been watching out for Roman and the pack, tracking a strange drone through the trees.The next, she was being dragged off like a criminal, even knocked unconscious when she dared put up a fight.She'd woken up inside the cell with a headache splitting behind her eyes. With what little strength and courage she could muster, she had demanded for answers from the guards.That had gone nowhere.The guards wouldn't even fetch the alpha at her request. All they offered were sneers and the occasional wad of spit through the bars of her cell.She still couldn't wrap her mind around how fast the day had soured.How did it start with a viable plan for her escape, only to end with Roman crowned champion of the Culling and her locked behind steel bars in the dungeon?Thora sniffled. She’d th

  • Sentenced to The Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 53: Victory or Loss?

    Roman POV"We did it!" Axel bounced wildly through his mind. "We actually did it!"Roman was too stunned to fully take it in. The galleries had erupted with hands drumming against the stands. Voices were going hoarse with cheering.The Valcourt banner rose high while every other pack's colors dropped around it.Beta Caius was already narrating the final fight with theatrical flair as the wounded alphas were carried off to commence treatment.Roman stood in the middle of the arena. Chest heaving, he scanned the crowd without really seeing any of it.This was everything he'd wanted. That very moment was what he’d fought for. Yet the thrill burning through his veins had nothing to do with the win.He shut out the noise and reached down the mate link.“Thora? You there?“Yes.”Relief flooded through him at the sound of her voice. But barely a moment after, her panic bled in right behind it.“It's gone, Roman. The drone. I can't see it anywhere. I swear it was just up there a second ago.”

  • Sentenced to The Ruthless Alpha   Chapter 52: The Red Light in the Trees

    Thora POVHer hands shook so badly she could barely hold them still.No. Why now? Why would they call her at all?She wasn’t a Luna by their standards so why humiliate her in front of everyone?Any other time and she might have been willing to indulge them, but not when the shift was at the edge of her sanity. There was no way she was going to transform out there in front of eight packs.Nervous, she scratched the itching skin on her arm. Her stomach turned when blood welled up under her nails.Outside, footsteps rushed past the tent. The Valcourt gallery erupted with complaints about Caius’s request for Thora to stand-in as their official Luna while the other packs howled with mocking laughter.Shaking, Thora shut all the noise out and dragged the Black Forge cloak Xander had given her over her shoulders.Every movement of her body sent pain shooting through her bones. Still, she forced the hood up, smeared on the paste Matilda had made, and slipped out through the back of the tent.
