The Alpha Kingpin's Fixation: Auctioned To The Enemy 53. New Beginning
BastienA week after the earth-shattering revelations about our family’s past, my phone rings, and I see Niko’s name on the screen. My heart tightens, anticipating more unsettling truths.As soon as I answer, Niko dives in. “I’ve been digging, questioning Dmitry’s father.” His use of ‘questioning’ is laced with a dark undertone, implying an obvious ruthless interrogation.“What did you find?” I ask, not sure I want to know the answer.Niko’s breathing is heavy, his words coming out like a torrent. “The bastard said that our mother... she was acting on her own fucking accord. All that sick shit she did, it was her, not someone else pulling her strings. She was a goddamn monster on her own, and some fucker just caught her in the act.”The revelation hits me like a punch to the gut. “So she was acting on her own? All those things she did, especially to you...”“Yeah,” Niko spits out, his voice boiling with anger. “She was a predator in her own right. And some bastard used her actions aga
The Alpha Kingpin's Fixation: Auctioned To The Enemy EPILOGUE ONE
AnyaSeveral months have passed since the night Bastien proposed to me under the cherry tree, and our lives have been a whirlwind of change and growth. The estate has transformed into a haven of love and family. Today, as I stand on the balcony with Mia, my gaze is fixed on Bastien and Niko playing in the garden with their sons. Their laughter and joyous shouts fill the air, a testament to the new life we’ve built here.Mia, standing beside me, watches her family with a smile. “They’re like two overprotective wolves with their cubs, aren’t they?” she remarks, her tone light.I chuckle, nodding in agreement. “Absolutely. Bastien can be so brooding, but with Nero, he’s just a big, soft-hearted Alpha.”We fall into a comfortable silence, watching the idyllic scene, until a thought that’s been nagging at me finds its way into the conversation.“Mia, can I ask you something?” I begin, hesitantly. “It’s about... becoming a shifter. I’ve been thinking about it a lot.”She turns to face me,
The Alpha Kingpin's Fixation: Auctioned To The Enemy EPILOGUE TWO
BastienI look over the estate that’s become more than just a piece of land to me. It’s a symbol of everything I’ve fought for, everything I’ve won and lost. The air’s cool and crisp, the kind that reminds you you’re alive. Standing on the balcony, I watch the night settle over the estate. The transformation of this place, of my life, still catches me off guard sometimes. It’s like the Goddess herself scripted this crazy turn of events.I can’t help but think about the twisted road that led us here. Losing my first mate, then finding Anya, it’s a hell of a story. Anya, brought onto that auction stage by her bastard of a father, in a place where she should’ve never been. I didn’t even blink before stepping in to save her. It was like some primal part of me roared to life, demanding I protect her. And now, looking back, it’s clear as day – she was meant to be in my life.Anya’s decision to become a shifter hits me again as I stand here. She’s tough, doesn’t back down from anything. Th

Anika/AnyaThe blinding lights of the stage hit me even harder than my captor did an hour ago. All eyes are on me as I stand in nothing but a low-cut chiffon dress, barefoot, and a face full of makeup to cover my cuts and bruises.“Don’t do anything to her face, assholes!” one of my captors had said, but the damage had been done. All because I had been too out of it to notice what had been done to me… What they would still do to me.I landed in Las Vegas yesterday, ready to celebrate my 21st birthday with a few close friends. Everything was perfect until we reached our final hotel bar crawl. We ordered glasses of champagne, and when I got up to head to the bathroom, a hand clamped around my mouth, and darkness took me before I could scream for help from Liev, my personal guard.Guards, you ask? Well, my name is Anya Popov, and before my abduction, I was the only daughter of a Russian Pakhan Alpha - a mafia princess for a better term. The only difference is I’m human - a flaw to a grea
The Alpha Kingpin's Fixation: Auctioned To The Enemy 2. Questioned
Anya/AnikaI sit down on the couch and wrap my arms around my body even though I don’t feel cold. The suite’s rich color scheme feels oppressive—deep burgundy drapes, gleaming black marble floors, and exquisite gold accents. The scent of cedarwood and vanilla wafts through the air, offering a slight relief to my overwhelming anxiety.The minutes stretch on, each moment amplifying the tension, which coils in my stomach. I contemplate running, but deep down, I know there’s no escape from Alpha Bastien Ioannides. His reputation, which is whispered in the dark corners of mafia circles, precedes him. A man of control, with an icy exterior that would send shivers down anyone’s spine.But as I feel the first wave of tears coming on, a noise behind me makes me spin around. My eyes widen when I see a heavily pregnant woman behind me, looking at me as if she can see right through me.“Hi…?” she says while standing at the one-seater. “Are you okay? Who are you?”Those tears now fall freely as
The Alpha Kingpin's Fixation: Auctioned To The Enemy 3. Coincidences?
Bastien The weight of the recent events weighs heavily on my mind as I walk toward my office. The familiar dark wooden panels and the soft hum of the dim lights overhead usually brought a sense of comfort, but tonight, they were mere distractions. My mind drifts back to the woman I saved at my auction; the doll with the midnight black hair and piercing blue eyes. Something that innocent shouldn’t have been there, and I still don’t fucking know why. Anika, or whoever she claims to be, is a mystery wrapped in a riddle. The way she spoke, the nervous flicker in her blue eyes, every move she made screamed that she was hiding something. And I, who had always prided myself on being able to read people, found her unreadable. As I settle behind my desk, the door to my office opens without a knock, revealing Andrej, my most trusted Beta and close friend. The look on his face confirms my suspicions. “Bastien,” he begins, his normally calm voice laced with urgency, “We ran a complete searc
The Alpha Kingpin's Fixation: Auctioned To The Enemy 4. Interrogation
Anika/AnyaThe morning light filtering through the thick drapes did little to ease the anxiety that knots my stomach. The plush bed, with its satin sheets, felt like a cage despite its luxury. I barely slept, the events of the previous night replaying in my mind over and over. Alpha Bastien’s questioning gaze, and the stark realization that I was far from freedom.My reflection in the ornate mirror opposite the bed showed a pale face, dark circles under my eyes, and disheveled hair. Is this how I looked last night? God, I need to shower and get out of these clothes.A soft knock jolts me from my reverie, and I sit up. Before I can respond, the door opens, revealing Alpha Bastien, his presence immediately filling the space. His tall frame is clad in a crisp suit, but it’s his eyes, dark and probing, that catches my attention. There is a quiet intensity about him, and I felt like an open book under his gaze.I swallow deeply, instinctively pulling the sheets closer around me. Bastien’
The Alpha Kingpin's Fixation: Auctioned To The Enemy 5. Nikolaos
BastienI had hoped that seeing Niko would offer some form of reprieve, but the reality was that it only served to intensify the uncertainty and concern of the entire situation.Niko is the first to break the silence as I sit down fow lunch with him and Mia, his tone teasing but laced with genuine concern. “Here I thought you’d wear a happy expression after your auction. Not enough assholes selling their souls?”A wry chuckle escapes my lips, the irony of the situation not lost on me. “Good to see you walking around again, little brother. But no, I’m currently buried under the stress of what happened at my auction.”Niko’s brow furrows, his gaze piercing. “What’s that supposed to mean?”Taking a deep breath, I laid out the details. “Diavolos snuck a woman into my auction; apparently, I had given my go-ahead because it was the fifth year of my success and, I quote, ‘anything goes’.”Niko’s reaction is immediate and visceral. “A fucking... wait, is she a human?”I nod, feeling a weight
