JACQUELINE

Mr Philips leaned in and kissed me.

It wasn’t hurried or desperate the way I thought it would be. His mouth moved against mine in slow, deep strokes that made my toes curl inside my shoes. His lips were softer than I remembered, but firmer too. He kissed like he was learning me, studying every tiny sound I made. His hand came up, cradling the back of my head, and the warmth of it sent goosebumps tumbling down my arms.

I forgot how to breathe.

The kiss from the party had been wild, drunk, electric.

This one… this one made my knees tremble.

His thumb brushed along the curve of my jaw. My lips parted beneath his and his tongue slid into my mouth, coaxing a small, helpless moan from my throat. I melted under the weight of it, completely undone by how gentle he was being. His mouth tasted like heat, like something dark and addictive I hadn’t known I needed.

I pressed closer.

He didn’t stop me.

His other hand gripped my waist, fingers curling against the fabric of my shirt, not p

  • The Alpha King's Human Mate    Chapter 82

    JACQUELINEI could still feel the tremor. The last of it rippling through me long after he’d hung up the phone. Long after his voice had turned calm again.I had never heard anyone speak like that. Not a threat laced with panic or cruelty. His voice had been still, firm, and final. Like he didn’t just mean what he said to Samuel but had already seen himself doing it. Like it wouldn’t trouble him in the slightest to carry it out.I had no doubt he meant every word.It terrified me. But that wasn’t the only thing it did.Something about the certainty in his voice, the ease with which he claimed violence, left a heat crawling along my skin. A sharp reminder that Mr. Philips was not like anyone else I knew. Not even close. There was a reason students feared him. There was a reason I had once feared him too.Because there was something untouchable about him. Something that made you feel like he saw right through you. That if you stepped the wrong way, he could break you apart with nothing

  • The Alpha King's Human Mate    Chapter 81

    EZRA“I never pinned you like the type to take in strays, Mr Philips.”“There’s a lot you don’t know about me, Jacqueline.”I didn’t say it out loud, but it burned at the edge of my mouth like a dare. Instead, I shut my eyes and leaned back against the leather, trying to get control of myself. Of everything.I had almost kissed her.The only thing that had stopped me was the damned cat, who had somehow wedged herself between us like some small orange chaperone. Apparently, a stray had more self-awareness than I did. She knew where boundaries should lie. I, on the other hand, was losing mine.I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling, teeth grinding. I had never allowed myself to slip like that. Not in decades. Not since the loss of Gyai. I had built a wall around myself, layered it with steel, frost, and silence. No one got through. No one even tried.And then this girl came along. Loud in spirit. Soft in voice. Braver than she had any right to be. And I let her in. Into my thoughts.

  • The Alpha King's Human Mate    Chapter 80

    JACQUELINEI couldn’t believe I was here. Inside his home. Sitting on his couch. The air in the room was warm but my skin prickled as if someone had just poured cold water down my spine.Mr Philips had opened the door before I even got the chance to knock. He hadn’t looked surprised. Had he seen me through the window? Was that how he knew? His house looked exactly like his office. Bare. Sterile. There was no mess, no warmth. Just clean walls, furniture in muted grays and blacks, a single lamp in the corner casting a soft golden hue over the room. There were no pictures on the wall. No framed certificates. Not a single thing that told a story about who he was.Not even a book out of place.The couch was a soft leather, the kind that made no sound under your weight, the kind that didn't invite comfort. The silence stretched between us as he sat down beside me, elbows resting lightly on his knees, gaze locked on mine. His eyes were impossibly dark, like he held secrets deeper than ocea

  • The Alpha King's Human Mate    Chapter 79

    EZRAI had always hated to teach those unruly young adults, but somehow as I sat on my couch I realized I was going to miss lecturing a little. For several weeks, teaching had become my lifestyle and even though it was something I thought I hated, I realized I would miss it.The way they walked into my class with bags under their eyes, the hum of their barely contained gossip, the smell of ink and over-sprayed perfume. And then there was her. The girl who had been brave enough to kiss me and alter my brain cells completely.Now I was leaving. Not just the college. Not just the job. The entire human realm. I was done. If Gyai was not here, in the human realm, there was no point staying. I had to find her. I had to find my mate. If she was in the Grim pack, then that was where I was going to go.I rubbed my thumb down the back of the orange cat curled beside me on the armrest, the only living thing in this world that had the nerve to curl up beside me like I was a heater. The cat purred

  • The Alpha King's Human Mate    Chapter 78

    JACQUELINE I stayed on my bed long after the message came in, the collage still lighting up my phone screen like a warning. The pictures wouldn’t stop replaying in my mind. Me, frozen in time, looking at Mr Philips like I was in love or close to it. And him, unreadable as always, but close enough that it would make anyone question everything.My stomach was tight, twisted in too many knots. I hadn’t eaten since morning, but I wasn’t hungry. Not when I had less than five hours before Samuel made good on his threat.He wanted to ruin me. And maybe Mr Philips too.Samuel had always had this charming way of hiding his bitterness, of smiling while slicing through skin. It had taken nearly a year of dating and one ugly betrayal to finally see it. And now he had photos that looked more like stills from a romance movie than anything real.I needed to stop him.The light from outside poured through the thin gap in my curtains. It spread across my wall, soft and gold and completely useless. I
