LOGIN“I’m nothing to you. My presence repulses you, but the lust in your eyes is clear, Malakai Phantom.” I spat right in his face. The ruthless Alpha King only grinned… then licked my spit off his skin. “You’re playing with me,” I whispered, trembling. He leaned closer, his shadow swallowing me whole. And then his lips claimed mine. The Alpha King claimed me. ** Angelique Manchester was never the kind to bow. Not to her hateful mother. Not to the filthy merchant who bought her like property. But Malakai Phantom? He’s different. Dangerous. A man who rejects her with one breath and owns her with the next. Years after their fateful night, Angelique has rebuilt her life. She lives in the sun until it was taken from her. Then the darkness storm back in. It's cold. Powerful. Unforgiving. It's Malakai Phantom. He says she owes him. Fate says she’s his. And the fire between them says they’re both lying. In a world where betrayal bleeds deeper than love, Angelique must face the man who ruined her and the truth that might destroy them both. Because once the Alpha King claims you ... He never lets go.

Once my head popped up, I shouted.My hair clung to my face like that smile on his lips.Malakai enjoyed it.For some seconds, I tried to convince myself to wait. Wait, and relish the sight of the male smiling.He barely did anything with genuinity, but this was a sight."Did I get you wet, sweetheart?" Malakai teased as he crouched.I swam closer, my palms crawling to his legs.I tilted my head, making sure he caught the glint in my eyes."Correction, we’re both wet!"Immediately, I latched a hand onto his leg, then yanked.Since he knelt on his toes, his balance was compromised, and he spilled in."Ha!"My laughter mingled with the loud splash.Malakai’s head soon burst out, and he didn’t even gasp or try to suck in

Angelique’s POV:[Late At Night | Malakai’s Chamber, The Balcony]I didn’t know which was more embarrassing.The fact that I got stuck on this rope, or the stupid, stupid urge to see Malakai that got me here in the first place.Embarrassment flowed in my veins like blood. But so did… relief. Yes, relief and something else I shouldn’t feel.The night was quiet, filled by the sound of breathing that belonged to me. Only me.Malakai didn’t breathe. Didn’t move. Didn’t blink.For what felt like years, he remained there, his stare on me unwavering and unreadable.Yet my cheeks heated, turning red, and I let out a yelp."Help m.." something constricted my throat, holding my words back.Then again, what words could I say? What should I tell the male that got stabbed because of me? The male I hadn’t seen for the past three days?My arms burned, and my palms turned slick; I was sliding off the rope.My gaze darted to the balcony, and the platform was more than a few feet apart.Geez!

Angelique’s POVI’d never get used to it.I didn’t mean the random flashes of memories from five years ago.I meant this. The sight of drunken customers getting flung into chairs, buried beneath the shatters of wood.And I had one man to thank for that.Mikael.There I stood behind the counter and
Angelique's POVI couldn’t breathe, and I didn’t know why.Maybe it was because of grief. Father died while saving me.Or maybe it was hate.
