"What's up with you?" I asked him slowly, studying the way his jaw had tightened, the way his eyes had gone distant somewhere between the estate gates and now.

"Nothing. I'm just being thoughtful about what you just told me." He glanced at me briefly before turning his focus back to the road. "There must be a hidden burner phone somewhere and I'll find it."

My face lit up notwithstanding the tension still sitting in my chest. "You will? How exactly do you intend to do that?"

  • Teasing Her Alpha Guard    CHAPTER 37

    DahliaThe moon-club district looked like money had thrown up glitter.Glass towers stretched toward a sky too polluted with light to actually show stars. Alphas from a dozen territories mingling in silk and expensive cologne, all of them pretending this was a party and not a very well dressed negotiation. Adrian's hand rested at the small of my back, guiding me through the crowd like I was a prize he'd already won and just needed to display properly."Smile more," he murmured near my ear. "You look like you're attending a funeral.""I'm pacing myself. Big smiles later, once I've located the champagne."He actually laughed at that genuinely which annoyed me more than if he'd been cold about it. It would be so much easier to hate him if he didn't occasionally act like an actual person."You don't have to love me," he said quietly, once we'd drifted to a quieter corner of the room.I met his eyes. "Because I never will."His smile didn't so much as flicker. "You will. Once the bond is

    DahliaThe moon garden looked like something out of a nightmare.Silver stone paths wound between trees, their branches twisted into shapes that seemed deliberate somehow, like they'd grown that way on purpose centuries ago. A ruined shrine sat at the center, crumbling but not forgotten, moss creeping over stone that had clearly seen things I didn't want to think about too hard.Serena was already there when I arrived, standing perfectly still beside the shrine like she'd grown out of the ground with everything else."You're late," she said, not turning around."I got lost admiring your creepy garden. It has real ambiance."That earned me a small, humorless smile. "Sit.""I'll stand, thanks. This dress isn't exactly built for sitting on ritual stones."She turned to face me fully then, violet eyes sweeping over me with that same unsettling stillness I remembered from the conservatory."You feel him when he isn't near you, don't you?"The question landed like a slap. I kept my face co

    Dahlia"You look tired," Adrian said, setting his fork down like my exhaustion was a personal insult to his hospitality."Wedding planning," I said sweetly. "Apparently choosing which shade of white satisfies your father takes real stamina."He almost smiled at that. Ever since the warning in the hallway, something had shifted in him, a caution creeping into every interaction like he was constantly rechecking how much he could safely say around me now."You should rest," he said instead. "Big day tomorrow."I didn't need the reminder. My whole body had been counting down the hours whether I wanted it to or not.I excused myself early, claiming a headache, and made it three steps into the hallway before my phone buzzed.Roman.How are you holding up.Fine, I typed. Then deleted it and typed again.I'm lonely, actually. This place makes solitary confinement look cozy.I miss you too.I stopped walking, staring at the screen, something in my chest aching in a way that had nothing to do w

    RomanMorgan didn't look up from the screen, his face pale in the blue glow of the monitor. "The code used to erase the tunnel from Vale's official records. It's Lucien Argent's.""That's not possible. Lucien doesn't have access to Vale's internal systems.""He doesn't need direct access." Morgan turned the laptop toward me. "Someone used his credentials remotely. Cross pack authorization, the kind only high level Alphas exchange during alliance negotiations. Whoever did this had Lucien's code and enough technical skill to route it through Vale's own servers without tripping an alarm."I stared at the screen, at lines of access data that made less sense the longer I looked at them. "Who else would have had access to Lucien's credentials.""That's the question, isn't it." Morgan rubbed his eyes. "Because it's not a short list. Marcus, obviously, given everything we already know. Cassian, technically, as heir. Maybe even Vivien, if Lucien ever shared anything with her.""Vivien's cleare

    Morgan"Say that again.""Which part," Roman said, not looking up from the map. "The part where your sister might be a spy, or the part where I'm starting to think everyone in your family has a secret double life.""Don't start.""I'm just saying, if it turns out your mom's secretly running an arms deal, I want credit for calling it first.""My mom sells scented candles at the farmer's market, Roman.""That's exactly what a secret arms dealer would want me to think."I would've laughed if my hands weren't shaking too hard to hold my coffee steady. I set the mug down before I dropped it and pulled the laptop closer, staring at the signal trace I'd been running for the last hour."Her phone's been active inside the estate for weeks," I said. "Lower levels. Same general area as the ritual chamber.""So she's a prisoner down there.""Maybe." I frowned at the data. "Except prisoners don't usually have access to encrypted comms with clean, consistent signal strength. This looks less like so

    Roman"There's no way in."Morgan said it flat, staring at the blueprint we'd spread across the table for the hundredth time."There's always a way in.""Not this time." He jabbed a finger at the schematic. "Every entrance is monitored. Cameras on the east corridor, motion sensors along the garden wall, guards rotating every fifteen minutes on the west side. And that's just what we can see.""What about underground.""That's the problem." He pulled up a second document. It looked older and faded. "This chamber wasn't built by Gideon's people. Look at the stonework. This construction predates his leadership by decades. Whoever built it originally didn't leave blueprints lying around for future generations to exploit."I stared at the aged schematic, something cold settling in my gut. "So we don't even know what we're walking into.""We know it was built for something involving blood and wolf bonds. That's it. That's all I've got."My phone buzzed. Dahlia.I know something's happening t

    Dahlia We shouldn't have been doing this. Every rational part of my brain was screaming it. He was my bodyguard, my father's employee. A man I'd sworn to break within a week. "Fuck. We shouldn't..." "Stop," he snapped, running a hand through his hair. "Don't think about it, don't regret it.

    Dahlia I licked my lips, tasting the salty taste of Roman cum. Not a single drop wasted. I swallowed everything deliberately. His massive frame towered over me, chest rising and falling like he had run a marathon, hands clenched at his sides as if fighting the urge to drag me back onto his cock.

    Roman I wrapped her naked body against my chest, water droplets traced lazy paths down her skin and I couldn't tear my eyes away. Gods, she is beautiful. My eyes trailed slowly from the curve of her neck, down to the swell of her breasts, perfect and heaving as she breaths. Her nipples were ha

    Dahlia The third time someone tried to kill me, I was more annoyed than afraid. Mostly because I'd just bought this dress three hours ago, and now there was a very real chance it was about to get ruined by some homicidal asshole's blood. Again. The bass thumped through the floorboards of Th
