Taming the Alpha CEO: Mine to Ruin 53: Fragile Astrid
Astrid Rhys 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 stop trying to do everything yourself.” His voice was rough. “Come on, let’s get you in the water before you hurt yourself worse.” 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 lif
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 still fresh, Alpha. This is standard procedure—” “She has three cracked ribs and a concussion. You can wait.” The other voice tried to argue but Rhys’s response was so cold it made me shiver even from across the room. “Out. Now. Don’t make me repeat myself.” I forced my eyes open even though everything hurt—not the sharp overwhelming agony from before but a deep throbbing ache that seemed to radiate from every part of my body at once. Rhys was standing near the door blocking someone I didn’t recognize from entering, his shoulders rigid and his hand gripping the doorframe so hard I could see his knuckles had gone white. “Rhys.” My voice c
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
Taming the Alpha CEO: Mine to Ruin 50: The Devil’s Bargain
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’m pacing the length of the great hall for what has to be the hundredth time and my legs are starting to ache but I can’t make myself sit down because if I stop moving I’m going to lose my mind thinking about what’s happening out there in the dark. Kade’s been on his phone for the past ten min

We follow the crowd inside and I try not to gape at the interior because it’s massive. The ceiling has to be at least thirty feet high with exposed wooden beams and there’s a fireplace against one wall that’s big enough to walk into. Pack members file in and take seats on benches and chairs tha
Taming the Alpha CEO: Mine to Ruin 20: Future Luna
The elevator ride down feels like it takes about years and I’m standing there with Kade’s hand still on my elbow while blood from the dead wolves dries sticky on my clothes and all I can think about is that Rhys just called me his future Luna in front of witnesses. Kade guides me to a black SUV th

The wolf is the size of a small car and it’s standing between me and Rhys and my brain is trying to process the fact that there’s a fucking wolf in the penthouse that just came through the window like it’s a goddamn action movie except this is real and I can even smell the thing,. Rhys moves an
