"Did you really think you could run from me?"

The voice came before anything else.

I knew it. I had spent a long time trying to forget the exact sound of it and I hadn't managed it, not really, it lived in a place in my memory that I couldn't reach in and remove. Low and self-satisfied.

Derek.

I turned around and he was there.

Half of his face was gone.

The left side of him from the cheekbone down was destroyed and what remained of it was just wrong and the eye on that side sat in the ru

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard Is a Woman    One Hundred and Nine

    DanteA muscle ticked in my jaw, my gaze darker, hand clenched so hard it hurt, yet the pain was nothing compared to the way my gut wrecked, the way every single part of me craved to touch her, to hold her and give her exactly what she wanted.One moment I was seated, doing a freaking good job at pretending she didn't exist, until the door busted open as she glided in, the red gown clinging to her the way it should, her skin glowing under the opulent chandelier.My jaw clenched when her head skimmed through my skin, when she ran her fingers full of desire on my swollen dick which was so hard it hurt.I shifted from her grasp, my heart clenching at the way she stunned, the way her eyes dimmed.Fuck!!!The dinner went on smoothly; the elders spoke words I didn't understand, words I didn't hear, not when her mere presence was driving me insane.I gripped the fork, keeping my hands busy to avoid holding her, anything to stop me from getting to her.It wasn't just about her dazzling looks;

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard Is a Woman    Hundred and Eighty

    VioletI stared at the mirror like it owed me something. Hours of prepping and this was it. This was the dress, the hair, the face I was about to walk into war with.I ran my hands down the red fabric clinging to my body. It hugged every curve like it knew exactly what it was doing. The V-neck pressed against my cleavage, deep enough to make a statement, but the diamond necklace covered most of my neck so it didn't look too desperate. Just desperate enough.I pressed my lips together, smoothing the lipstick one last time.A knock hit the door. I didn't even turn around."The Alpha demands your presence," the maid said, head down like she was scared to look at me. "The dinner is about to start.""Okay," I said. My voice came out steadier than I felt.I looked back at the mirror one more time. This wasn't about dinner. This wasn't about ration reports or elders or whatever boring pack business they had lined up tonight.This was about getting Dante back.I knew what I was doing. I knew

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard Is a Woman    Hundred and Seven

    VioletI woke up early because I knew today was going to be the start of the real chaos with the annual pack gala preparation. I went downstairs straight to the small office near the kitchen because that was where I kept all the delivery receipts and the vendor contracts locked up in my drawer. I sat down and pulled out the list for the catering orders because my instincts were screaming at me that something was going to go wrong if I did not look over the numbers again. I had been checking everything twice since Rose handed me this nightmare because I knew that old woman was just waiting for me to trip over my own feet and look like a total idiot in front of the pack.I ran my finger down the column for the silver valley suppliers and my heart dropped into my stomach when I noticed a massive discrepancy on the fresh meat invoice. The original order for three hundred pounds of prime steak had been canceled and replaced with a tiny delivery order for fifty pounds of cheap chicken st

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard Is a Woman    Hundred and Six

    VioletThe hallway smelled heavily of burnt wax and cheap wicks, a thick, gut-wrenching scent that clung to the stone walls like a physical entity. It was just the usual for this time of day, yet it made my stomach turn. I exhaled shakily, forcing my legs to move, narrowing my path through the dimly lit corridors.One minute, I had everything. For the first time in my life, it felt like I had truly found something forever—a sense of belonging, a glimpse of peace. The next minute, it shattered right before my eyes. All I could do was sit in the wreckage and watch the cold wind blow away the crushed, unrecoverable pieces of what we used to be.I inhaled the humid, suffocating air of the pack house and took a sharp turn around the corner. I was so lost in the labyrinth of my mind that I barely noticed the imposing figure stepping into my path until it was too late.Our shoulders collided. Thankfully, I steadied myself quickly, lessening the impact of the crash, and so did she.“I am so

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard Is a Woman    Hundred and Five

    VioletI stood hidden behind the heavy velvet curtains near the grand ballroom entrance, holding my breath because I needed to see exactly how Ron was going to handle his side of our deal. My fingers gripped the smooth fabric tightly as the sound of footsteps echoed down the long hallway, and then I heard Ron’s deep voice speaking in a rushed, slightly stressed tone that sounded natural."I'm telling you, Alex, the seating charts for the northern pack elders are a disaster because apparently what's in the file don't match the actual floor space," Ron said as he walked into the room, gesturing wildly with a stack of blueprints in his hands. "I'm out of my depth with this venue setup.""You've been a bodyguard for years, Ron, so I find it very hard to believe that a few tables are throwing you off this badly," Alex said as she followed him into the ballroom, her arms crossed tightly over her chest while her sharp eyes scanned the empty space. "But fine, let me see the paperwork becau

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard Is a Woman    Hundred and Four

    VioletI stood in front of the full-length mirror in my bedroom and adjusted the front of my shirt because the black V-neck top cut lower than what I usually wore around the pack house. I took a deep breath and smoothed down the fabric because I needed to make sure everything looked completely accidental when it was actually totally planned out. I looked down at the thick leather binder resting on my vanity table and picked it up with a firm grip because this paperwork was my golden ticket past Dante's heavy office doors. I checked my reflection one last time to make sure my hair fell perfectly over my shoulders and left the room with a confident stride because the time for crying like a pathetic little victim was officially over.I walked down the long carpeted hallway toward the Alpha wing of the estate and noticed that the pack house felt unusually quiet today. My boots made soft clicking sounds against the hardwood floor edges and my heart began to thud a little faster against m

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard Is a Woman    Eighty Two

    Violet's POVFuck!I felt pain all over me. The first thing I felt was a heavy, throbbing ache in my right hand, followed immediately by a sharp, stabbing sting in my left ankle. I tried to move my fingers, but a groan slipped past my lips instead. My eyelids felt like they were glued shut, but I

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard Is a Woman    Seventy Eight

    Violet's POVThe feeling of eyes on my back grew so heavy that my skin crawled. I didn't stop walking, but every muscle in my body coiled tight like a spring. The shadows from the trees were stretching longer across the dirt road, and the silence around me felt completely unnatural. I kept my bre

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard Is a Woman    Seventy Six

    VioletI remained entirely gloomy on the ride home, staring out the passenger window at the passing trees, feeling the heavy weight of reality crushing my chest all over again.When we finally pulled up to the villa, Dante killed the engine and turned to me, his expression tight. "Violet, I need to

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard Is a Woman    Seventy Five

    Violet's POVI rolled over on the massive mattress, my hand instinctively reaching out for the familiar, burning warmth that usually occupied the other half of the bed. My fingers only met cold, empty sheets. I opened my eyes, blinking against the bright morning sun pouring into the bedroom, and fo
