The Alpha's Bodyguard Is a Woman Nineteen
DanteNo matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t sleep. The room was dark except for the thin strip of moonlight sneaking through the curtains. Every time I closed my eyes, her scent filled my head—that clean, warm smell that had clung to her earlier in the evening. It wasn’t strong perfume, just something soft and human that refused to leave me alone.“Get it together, Dante,” I muttered, punching the pillow. My voice sounded too loud in the quiet house. The couple had been kind enough to give us separate rooms after I told them my wife was injured and needed space. Now she was right next door, and the wall between us might as well have been paper.I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling, but her scent still haunted me. How was that even possible? She wasn’t in the room. Yet every inhale brought her back.I kept seeing the way she tilted her head when she laughed at dinner. I shook my head hard, trying to rattle the thought loose. “This is stupid.”My mind refused to focus on a

VioletThe bandage had been manageable the first two days.But on the third day, it became a problem.I had unwound it carefully, standing in front of the narrow mirror above the washstand, and the wound itself looked better than I expected it to. It was cleaner at the edges, the skin around it losing the angry heat that had been there before. The healer had said it was the wolfsbane slowing things down, not any failure of my body, and she had been right. I could feel the difference. The deep ache that had kept me from drawing a full breath was lighter now, more manageable.The issue was the angle of where the fucking thing was. The wound ran along my left side, below my ribs and slightly toward the back and that made it almost impossible to reach properly with my right hand and entirely impossible to reach with my left. I had the clean bandage in my hands. I had worked out the route it needed to take. I had spent the better part of ten minutes attempting it and the result currentl

VioletThe door opened before either of us could move.Dante pulled back but not quickly enough, and the woman who walked in took one look at the distance between us, which was not much, and stopped in the doorway with the expression of someone who had expected better.She was older, white hair pulled into a neat bun, a walking stick in her right hand and sharp eyes that moved between me and Dante with the particular efficiency of someone who had seen everything and was not easily impressed by any of it."We really shouldn't have put you two together," she said, already crossing the room toward me. "She just woke up."I opened my mouth.Closed it.I had no idea what to say. My brain was still three steps behind and my lips still felt like something had just happened to them which something had and the woman was already beside the bed reaching for my wrist to check my pulse.I glanced at Dante.He was smiling.Not the small controlled almost-not-there expression I had come to recognise

Violet"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 ruin of his face and looked at me anyway. The right side was exactly as I remembered it. Smooth and handsome and smiling.I tried to step back.His hand closed around mine.His grip was cold and it locked around my fingers and squeezed and I felt every one of my bones compress."Caught you," he said."Let go." My voice came out smaller than I wanted."I've caught you and no one is coming." He tilted his head, the ruined side shifting with the movement in a way that made my stomach turn. "Did you t

Dante's POVThe bullet hadn't killed her.I pressed two fingers to her neck and felt the pulse — faint, but there. Her breathing was slow, too slow for my liking, but her chest still moved. That was enough. That had to be enough.I pulled her out from where she'd slumped, keeping low, then fired three rounds into the air behind us. Not to hit anything. Just to buy seconds, scatter whoever was closing in, make them think twice before moving. Then I lifted her onto my back and ran.I didn't stop.The woods his us fast. Branches caught my arms, roots tried to take my feet, but I kept moving. I could hear them behind us — not close enough to shoot, but close enough that stopping wasn't an option. My legs burned but my mind was somewhere else entirely.She can't die.That was the only thought I had room for. Not the mission, not the men behind me, not what any of this meant. Just that. She can't die. I didn't even know her real name yet. There was no way she was leaving me. Not like this a

Violet The atmosphere shifted the moment we arrived at the docks. Dante had brought a small, elite team. He’d been watching this specific crew for months; they usually had fewer than eight men handling the cargo. I checked my magazine, making sure it was full. My father had taught me how to shoot before everything went to hell, and the weight of the weapon in my hand felt familiar—comforting. Dante gave us clear directions. It was just the five of us: Bret, Ron, Simon, Ted, and me. The driver who had taken us to the date had already been sent home. “You are with me,” Dante told me, his eyes locking onto mine. “Keep the car going,” he told Ted. “You’re the fastest driver we’ve got.” The hit was planned. We moved in, the sound of suppressed gunfire muffled by the crashing waves. We took down the Northshore men before they even realized the perimeter had been breached. The yard went quiet after that — or as quiet as a dock at night could get. The waves slapped against the pylo

VioletIt had been three hours since I took over the shift from Bret, and in those three hours, Dante had not moved from his home office. He wasn't reviewing ledgers or shouting orders into a sleek burner phone. He was playing chess with himself. I stood by the heavy oak door, watching him move a

Dante“Well, a marriage would be wise,” one of the elders said, his voice getting on my nerves like sandpaper on glass. He didn’t even look at me when he said it, instead keeping his eyes fixed on the stupid table as if the wood held more authority than the Alpha sitting at the head of it.Fucking

Dante“Grandma…” I started with a tired sigh .“What? He made us wait here a minute longer. If your life was in danger, he’d be arriving now. Is that what we pay him for? Slacking around?” Her voice sharpened. “Kill him already."She repeated the order, calm and certain, but no one moved.Not becau

DanteFifty men.Fifty families that I would need to face. Fifty apologies I would have to find the right words for, knowing there weren't any. The bombing had been precise and deliberate and it had left nothing to send back to them. There were no remnants of their bodies or anything families could
