Sweet Abomination The Faceless Woman
A faceless woman sits in a creaking wooden rocking chair. Sunlight pours through a tall, arched window, painting her swollen belly in a warm, golden layer of light. She rests a heavy, leather-bound book on her lap. Her fingers, delicate and pale, trace the thick illustrated pages. The drawing shows a wolf with teeth like jagged glass and eyes like burning coals."He was the big bad wolf," the woman reads. Her voice is soft. It sounds like a lullaby, sweet and rhythmic, wrapping around me like a thick blanket. "The other wolves feared him. He brought terror wherever his paws touched the earth. They hid their pups when he prowled the woods."She closes the book. The heavy cover slaps against the paper. She rests both hands on the curve of her stomach, right where I am supposed to be. I never knew my mother. She died bringing me into the world, leaving me with nothing but fragmented dreams and the blame of an entire pack."But when you are born, little one, I will protect you," she whisp
Sweet Abomination Lana
LANA The wooden stairs of the porch groan under my heavy boots. The night air bites sharply at my cheeks, carrying the scent of damp earth and crushed pine needles. Alpha Adrian stands near the doorway. He is a mountain of a man in his dark clothes, broad and intimidating to anyone else in this territory. But I only see the terrified little boy I patched up all those years ago. I worked as his father's healer before the fire took everything. I have spent decades watching Adrian grow into a ruthless leader, carrying the weight of a shattered pack on those massive shoulders. I reach up and smooth the collar of his shirt. He
Sweet Abomination One Hell of a Kiss
"You imprinted on a human!" Drew speaks through the phone speaker. His tone holds a heavy layer of shock, layered carefully under something that makes me feel like if I wasn't his Alpha, he'd have smacked me.The biting mountain wind cuts into my skin, but the freezing temperature does absolutely nothing to cool the frustration burning in my veins. I lean heavily against the wooden railing of the porch. My knuckles turn stark white as I grip the rough timber. "I didn't mean to," I say. I keep my voice perfectly steady, though my grip on the railing tightens until the wood groans. "We were kissing, and things got out of hand.""You were... kissing?"I let out a ha
Sweet Abomination The Unraveling
JESSThe silence of our living room is suffocating.I pace the length of the Persian rug, my high heels sinking into the expensive wool fibers with every aggressive step. The clicking sound usually calms me down, but tonight it just amplifies the panic bouncing off the high ceilings. I cross my arms over my chest, digging my nails into the silk fabric of my dress.My mother stands by the crystal decanter on the far side of the room. She pours herself a massive glass of gin, completely ignoring the ice bucket. Her hands are shaking. The glass clinks violently against the heavy crystal bottle. She brings the rim to her mouth and swallows half the liquor in one long, ungraceful gulp.This is a complete disaster.We drove back from Luke's estate in total silence, the reality of our failure sitting heavy and foul in the confined space of the sedan. The plan was flawless. We were supposed to drop the useless human off, secure the allianc
Sweet Abomination Predators and Prey
LUKEThe paused frame on the security monitor mocks me in high definition.The camera stationed at the front gate captured the exact moment the black luxury sedan sped away from my estate. The resolution is crisp enough to see the terrified, pale face of the human girl pressed against the passenger window. Her ugly beige dress is torn at the shoulder. But my attention is completely locked on the man gripping the steering wheel.His face is partially shadowed by the roof of the car, but the sharp jawline and that jagged, unmistakable white scar are perfectly visible."It's Adrian." The name tastes like battery acid on my tongue.I shove my rolling leather chair away with brutal force. It crashes into the mahogany bookshelves behind my desk, shattering the glass doors of a display case. The loud, violent crash does absolutely nothing to settle the boiling heat rushing through my veins. My bones grind together in protest. The urge to
Sweet Abomination An Unexpected Kiss
BELLEA sleeping person is a lot heavier than you might expect.Adrian rests his head on my lap, his thick dark hair spilling over the grey fabric of his own oversized t-shirt. The quiet of the cabin settles around us, broken only by the steady, deep rhythm of his breathing. I sit completely still on the leather sofa. I am terrified to move. I am terrified to wake him.Just a few hours ago, I was sprinting down a mountain in a torn wedding dress, fleeing a man who promised to murder me by the next blood moon. I have no money. I have no shoes. My stepmother sold me, and my father is out there somewhere, completely oblivious to the fact that his only daughter is a fugitive. I should be hysterical. I should be crying.Instead, I am sitting in the woods, guarding the sleep of a man I barely know.His jaw is relaxed. The jagged white scar running along his bone looks less threatening in the dim yellow light of the living room lamps. I carefully trace the air above his face, never actually
