Taming the Alpha CEO: Mine to Ruin 53: Fragile Astrid
AstridRhys started to turn toward the sound and my brain screamed at me to do something, anything to stop him from seeing it.I made a sound somewhere between a gasp and a whimper and grabbed my side like my ribs had suddenly decided to stab me from the inside.It wasn’t entirely fake because moving that fast actually did hurt like hell but I definitely oversold it.He turned back to me immediately and his hands were on my arms steadying me. “What’s wrong?”“Just moved wrong.” I kept my hand pressed to my ribs and tried to look like I was in more pain than I actually was which wasn’t hard. “It’s fine.”“You need to be more careful.” His voice was rough. “Come on, let’s get you in the water.”The vial was still on the floor behind us.I could see it out of the corner of my eye, clear glass against white tile, and my heart was pounding so hard I was sure he could hear it.But he was focused on me.“Arms up.”I lifted them as much as I could and he pulled my shirt over my head and I was
Taming the Alpha CEO: Mine to Ruin 52: The Lies
Astrid I woke up to the sound of voices arguing and for a second I thought I was back in that basement with Viktor and panic flooded my system before I realized the voice I was hearing was Rhys and he sounded furious.“—don’t care what protocol is, get out of my room before I throw you out.”“We need to question her while the memories are fresh—”“She has three cracked ribs and a concussion. You can wait.”My eyes open but everything hurt.Not the sharp overwhelming pain from before but a deep throbbing ache that radiated from basically everywhere.I turned my head I saw him standing near the door blocking someone I didn’t recognize from entering.“Rhys.” My voice came out as a croak.He turned immediately and the person he’d been arguing with tried to step around him but he moved to block them again.“Out. Now.”Whoever it was must have seen something in his face because they left without another word.The door closed and then he was crossing the room and I tried to sit up and immed
Taming the Alpha CEO: Mine to Ruin 51: Blood and Regret
Rhys I was still standing in my office staring at Kade’s blood on the wall when Judith finally got him stabilized and out. The wall needed to be repainted. I’d cracked the plaster when I’d slammed him into it and there was a smear of red running down about three feet where he’d slid to the floor. I’d almost killed my best friend. My Beta. The person who’d stood by me for over a decade through every terrible decision I’d ever made. And I’d beaten him bloody because I couldn’t control my rage. I walked to my desk and sat down heavily in the chair and pressed the heels of my hands into my eyes until I saw spots. Four days ago I’d been out of the territory meeting with leaders of other packs to unite against Viktor in case this thing escalated into full war. Four days of being away from Astrid because I’d needed distance after what happened in the gym. After I’d almost claimed her. After I’d felt my fangs break through her skin and tasted her blood and come so close

Astrid “Stop.”The brute’s hands froze inches from my throat.I couldn’t process what was happening through the roaring panic in my ears except that he wasn’t touching me anymore and I could still breathe.Viktor stepped into the room and the brute straightened up immediately like a dog responding to its master’s command.“I changed my mind.” Viktor didn’t even look at him. “Get out.”The brute looked at me slumped against the wall and then back at Viktor and I saw frustration flash across his scarred face but he didn’t argue.Then it was just me and Viktor.Somehow that felt infinitely worse.He walked over slowly and crouched down in front of me and studied my face.“You’re still fighting.” He sounded almost impressed. “Even now when you’re terrified and bleeding and you thought you were about to be raped. There’s still defiance in those eyes. I can see why he is so obsessed with you.”I didn’t respond because my throat was closed up and I couldn’t have spoken if I wanted to.“I wa

Sebastian The velvet box was so small in my hand it almost didn’t seem real.The middle of the street was filled with emergency lights flashing red and blue across the pavement and EMTs loading what was left of the driver into an ambulance.Her blood was still on the pavement.Not much, just a few drops mixed with glass and motor oil, but I could smell it over everything else.I’d know her scent anywhere and smelling her blood made my wolf surge up in my chest that I had to physically force back down.“Rhys.”Kade’s voice came from somewhere to my left.The forensics team was still examining the sedan where it had come to rest half on the sidewalk. The front seat completely soaked in blood, windshield shattered outward, clear signs of a struggle inside based on how the steering wheel was bent.“Rhys, we need to move.” Kade stepped closer. “Viktor knows we’re here by now.”I didn’t respond.“We found her phone in the wreckage,” he continued. “Last message was from the rideshare app s
Taming the Alpha CEO: Mine to Ruin 48: The Monster’s Lair
Pain woke me up before consciousness did. My lip was split and swollen and tasted like copper, my cheekbone was throbbing where that woman had hit me, and every time I tried to breathe deeply my ribs screamed at me to stop. I tried to move my hands and couldn’t. Plastic bit into my wrists and when I pulled against it the pain got worse but nothing gave. Fuck. I forced my eyes open and immediately wished I hadn’t because the single bare lightbulb hanging from the ceiling felt like someone was stabbing ice picks directly into my brain. I was sitting in a metal chair that was bolted to the floor and my hands were zip-tied behind the back of it and there was a camera on a tripod in the corner pointing directly at me with a little red light blinking. Oh god. Oh god oh god oh god. My stomach twisted and bile rose in my throat but I swallowed it down because throwing up while tied to a chair seemed like a really good way to choke to death. Think Astrid. Don’t panic just

I spun around with my heart in my throat ready to scream only to find Vanessa laughing like she’d just pulled off the funniest prank in history.“Oh my god your face!” She doubled over. “I’m sorry I couldn’t help it.”My heart was still trying to escape my chest. “That’s not funny.”“It’s a little

He didn’t come back.I sat in that shower until the water ran cold and my skin pruned and my fingers went numb but he never came back and eventually I had to accept that he wasn’t going to.I wrapped myself in a towel and walked back to the bedroom dripping water everywhere and sat on the edge of h

“That’s it.” His voice cut through the haze in my brain. “Let me hear you. Let me hear how much you like being used.”I should have been offended by that but instead it made me wetter and I rolled my hips to meet his thrusts and chased the friction.“Look at you.” There was something dark in his to

The gym was in the basement and I didn’t even know this place had a basement until he led me down a set of stairs hidden behind what I thought was a closet door.It opened up into this massive space with equipment I’d only ever seen in professional gyms and mats covering half the floor and punching
