I tightened my fingers around the wheelchair handle. "I..." I stopped. There wasn't an answer that wouldn't make things worse.
The baby in Nora's arms started crying in earnest.
Ravok didn't look.
Not even for a second.
He just kept looking at me.
And too

THE SLAVE WHO REJECTED THE ALPHA 84
Romeo led me through one of the corridors until we reached the main staircase. The touch on my elbow stayed constant, no longer pulling, but making sure I wouldn't run off again.We went up.As we climbed the steps, I began to feel the whole day's effort catching up with me. The scratch burned on my skin, my legs were heavy after the run through the forest, and I felt bothered by every gram of mud on me.Romeo guided me to turn right, and the first door I saw was Ravok's room. I was taken to the room right next to it.As soon as he put his hand on the door, Rose appeared from the opposite side, balancing a tray in her hands, her steps careful not to spill the water swaying in the glass. The smell of food arrived before she came to a full stop, and my stomach tightened.It had been hours since breakfast and I was starving.Her gaze swept over me in one attentive glance, moving down over the most obvious signs — the damp clothes, the cut on my leg, the muddy hair — before returning to R

Before I could even process what was happening, he was already moving. His face lowered to the side of my neck, slowly enough that I felt every inch of the approach, every fraction of a second in which there was still air. Then his teeth found my shoulder. Warm. The pressure came all at once, piercing my skin and tearing a response from me that never passed through thought, one that rose raw, straight from my body.My reaction was immediate.My hands slammed against his chest, trying to create space, any space at all, but Ravok was already ahead of every movement I made. His other hand appeared and seized my wrists with force, pulling them behind my back in one continuous motion, pinning my arms.My entire body tensed, trapped between the instinct to resist and the awareness that every attempt only placed me further within his reach. The leather still marked my neck, keeping me close, giving me no room to fall... or to escape.He remained there for anothe

I turned my head toward the sound, but found nothing except dark trunks and rain-soaked branches. I looked around again, trying to see beyond the darkness, but it was useless. He could be anywhere—standing still, leaning against a tree, following my every step without being seen.This wasn't normal.And for the first time, a thought took shape: What if Ravok had lost control? What if that demon really existed and was in control now?I kept running without direction, following what was left of a trail through the woods. I had the feeling I'd already passed through that stretch before. The same pattern of tree trunks, the same dip in the ground, the same exposed root crossing the path.Shit.I was going in circles.I stopped for a moment, my chest rising far too quickly, trying to choose a different direction. Maybe the opposite way. A bolt of lightning tore across the sky, illuminating everything for one brief instant—the towering

I looked down in the middle of the movement, just for a second, and saw it. The side of my thigh had been torn open in a long scrape, the skin peeled away in an uneven strip. The rain washed over the wound, but not enough to hide it. A thin line of blood ran slowly down, mixing with the water and trailing along my leg to my knee.I hadn't felt it when it happened.The two men lunged toward me at the same time. Their boots sank into the mud with every stride, sending dark splashes flying in rhythm with their heavy run. The sound was damp, each footfall against the soaked ground scattering dirt and water. They closed the distance quickly, eating up the space between us with long, steady strides."Don't touch her!" Ravok shouted.They stopped instantly. Neither of them dared take another step."You wanted to run? Then do it." He didn't raise his voice, but somehow it still carried over the storm surrounding us."Are you inviting me to escape?"

"You ran." His voice was low and controlled, spoken only for the two of us to hear. It carried a deep, raspy edge, with a roughness that made every hair on my arms stand on end, even beneath my coat.I tightened my fingers around the wheelchair handle. "I..." I stopped. There wasn't an answer that wouldn't make things worse.The baby in Nora's arms started crying in earnest.Ravok didn't look.Not even for a second.He just kept looking at me.And took another step.The door opened again, and the impact of the wood slamming against the wall made my body react with a small shudder. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Romeo walk in and stop just beyond the threshold, his shoulders tense, his gaze going straight to Ravok before anything else."Take her to the car, Romeo." Ravok's order came without raising his voice."I'm not going." My response came too quickly, before I could measure what I was saying. I felt my throat tig

I lightly ran my hand over her arm, more to complete the gesture than expecting any response. "It's temporary, I know. And Nora probably wants me out of here as soon as possible…" I looked around, letting my gaze travel across the space before returning to her. "But I like being here. I feel good with you and the babies."Nora appeared in the doorway, her silhouette outlined by the dimmer light from inside, and watched us for a few seconds, her eyes going straight to Merliah before anything else. It was always like that—as if she needed to confirm, as soon as she woke up, that her daughter was still there.I raised my hand to get her attention. "We're taking a walk."She held my gaze for another moment, silently assessing the situation, before giving a slight nod. She didn't say anything. She simply turned back inside and closed the door behind her. Nora wasn't the friendliest person in the world. She didn't try to be. But she was the one keeping me here, the one putting money in my h

My face burned. With my left hand, I carefully pulled the fabric away from his side. His skin was warm under my fingers, and the muscles of his stomach tightened when I touched him. I had never been this close to a man like this. Not unless someone was dragging me, hitting me, or throwing me aside.

Dominic pushed me away and I was surprised that I lost thought because of his action. He told Victoria, "Amo has a keen sense of smell and he hates the smell of women's blood."Victoria was not quite convinced by Dominic's explanation, still, she wrapped her arms around him like she was showing of

“Washing clothes,” I answered, because the truth was already humiliating enough and I had no better lie.His eyes narrowed slightly. “In that?”Heat rose to my face. I gripped the basin and tried to stand, but Dominic reached for it before I could move away. I held on by instinct, even though there

I should have apologized. I should have lowered my head. I should have done anything except what I did next.But then someone behind him muttered, “No wonder. Witches are dirty bitches.”My mother’s face came into my mind so clearly that it hurt more than my broken hand. Her fingers combing my hair
