ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V

I sent the message I had been crafting, then looked at the time. Just a few minutes past twelve.

I wouldn't wait. That will only give them enough time to ambush me. I pushed my phone into my back pocket and walked forward, my eyes thin.

I got to the main door, and I caught a glimpse of Evan standing outside the inner room. I took in a deep breath and entered, straightening my posture.

Evan stood straighter, but I said nothing to him. I grabbed the door knob and turned it,

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard    Fall

    Evan's words hung in the air like a blade suspended mid-fall. Cole's hand, which had been resting on my waist, tightened almost imperceptibly. I felt the shift in his body—the way his muscles coiled, the way his breathing changed from the easy rhythm of morning to something controlled, measured."What kind of statement?" Cole asked, his voice level. Too level.Evan didn't flinch, but I saw the way his fingers curled at his sides. "The council has convened without your knowledge. They're claiming it's an emergency session, citing concerns about your... stability. They're going to announce a vote of no confidence."The words landed like stones in still water. Cole didn't move. Didn't blink. But I felt the temperature in the room drop."A vote of no confidence," Cole repeated slowly, as if tasting the words. "Against me.""Yes, Alpha."Cole sat up then, the sheets falling away from his bare chest. The morning light caught the edges of his tattoo—the one that carried my name—and for a mom

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard    A Statement

    SELENA'S P.O.V I woke up slowly, the warmth of the morning sun pulling me out of the sleep of pure exhaustion I had managed to slip into last night.I turned slowly, my eyes growing accustomed with the hospital room. Alpha Cole was behind me, his hands wrapped solidly around my waist, his eyes closed.He was still asleep, his lips slightly parted, his hair sprawled across the pillow. I turned as noiselessly as I could, but by the time my fingers settled on his cheek, he was already stirring."Go back," I whispered, running my fingers down his face. "You should sleep more."He chuckled, then leaned even closer. "I missed you. I don't want to sleep longer. You are not real in there."I broke into a laugh, my hands tightening around his. I let my fingers push up to the back of his head, then sink slowly into his hair. His eyes closed briefly, and when he opened them back, he looked somehow more beautiful. A lot more so."How do you feel?""Excellent," he said, leaning in close. "We ge

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard    The Intruder

    SELENA'S P.O.V We made it back to the room just after the sun set. I noticed how the staff watched us and giggled, and it only made me laugh. I went from being the cast out mate to the woman the entire pack was rooting for.It was both crazy and relieving. Evan opened the door for us and then stepped away. Alpha Cole stopped and turned back to hik, his eyes darting across the younger man's still swollen eyes."Since you won't listen to me about leaving, how about you come in, let me feed you and take care of that swelling?"Evan looked unsure, but the minute he looked at Alpha Cole, he nodded. I wasnt sure if jt was because he couldn't being himself to say no to Alpha Cole or if Alpha Cole just didn't look like he was about to accept anything less than a yes as an answer.Alpha Cole nodded, then walked forward, his hand still holding mine. I followed, and Evan followed a little behind, his eyes mostly trained on the floor.The door locked behind us, and Alpha Cole walked straight tow

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard    Happier With You

    SELENA'S P.O.V "I will dry your hair off, then call the nurse to redo the dressing."He nodded and leaned back on the bed. "I feel very... spoilt."I chuckled, then covered the distance to him and pulled his cheek. "That is cause you are.""Oh please," he said, trying his hardest to look stern. He only succeeded in looking like he was trying hard not to laugh which... we both knew he was.I sank the towel into his hair, then gently massaged. He pulled me closer till I was standing between his legs, my body pressed up against his face.He let his hand run up and down my body over the robe, before he finally let his intrusive thoughts win. It took one tug, and the robe fell open.He rested his head on my stomach as I tried his hair off, while his hand ran up and down my skin, like he needed the warmth to make sure that I was real. That I was right there.I let the beauty of it all set into me, my eyes closing one too many times when his fingers touched a part of my skin that was far t

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard    Heated Showers

    SELENA'S P.O.V A knock came on the door, and I let go of Alpha Cole to turn towards it. Evan opened it but didn't come in. He stayed by the door, just enough to let us see him."David and his crew are here to see you, Alpha. Do you think you are able to see them?"I turned to Alpha Cole, who nodded slowly, then rested back. "I am fine. Let them come in."Evan closed the door behind him for a brief moment before the door opened again, and David walked in, followed by all five of the fashion designers.All of them carried a slightly somber expression that mostly cleared up the minute they saw Alpha Cole."Alpha," David said, then covered the distance to him, his eyes looking almost wet. "I was so scared. The invincible Alpha looking like that? I wanted to go and yank out every fucking hair from the scalp of that bitch!"I broke into a laugh. "That makes us two. I wanted to do it too.""Right?" He said, turning to me. Alpha Cole kept a small smile on sand said nothing.He had never been

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard    Looking at Your Skies

    SELENA'S P.O.V I stayed with Evan till he felt strong enough, and I watched as he slowly withdrew behind his normal cold persona.I have seen him break down like this exactly twice, and each time, I hated the way I couldn't even bring myself to hate it. I should feel threatened the eay I felt about Sylvia. Instead, sometimes, I caught myself wondering if my love held a candle to Evan's objectively.It was an almost sickening thought."You should go be with him," Evan finally said, pushing himself to stand on his feet. He extended a hand to me, and I took it, my fingers wrapping around his.He sighed as he pulled me up, his eyes meeting mine once we were on equal footing."Will you be okay?" I asked, holding his hand still. He didn't pull it away either.He nodded. "Of course. I am a man. I will do well on my own."I smiled, then leaned up and kissed his cheek. His eyes widened with the gesture, but I didn't give him enough time to question it before I turned and walked away, closing

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard    The Compromise

    ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V The council meeting was already making sure that no matter what I did, I would be in a bad mood. I leaned back on my seat, my fingers gently rubbing my temples, as I tried my best to keep the mounting annoyance in before I exploded on every single person in here."Alpha," Counci

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard    What Could be The Last Time

    SELENA'S P.O.V A second passed, and silence fell between us. Everyone had gathered around now, yet no one could say a word. Blackmoon. Alpha Cole. All of the things I ran away from.Jackson cleared his throat. He mostly did that when he absolutely needed to lean into his authority as one of the ol

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard    A Rose of Blood

    ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V I watched the omega in front of me. The sun had set into the evening, and the palace was quiet. The room was dimly lit with only the bedside lamps. The omega was on the floor, his eyes half closed, his lips parted. He was fully aroused and completely unable to speak for himself

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard    Five Years of Cowardice

    5 YEARS LATERSELENA'S P.O.V I watched Amanda run around the open field. Her hair was long, down to her back, but she had always ensured that I knew she wanted to keep it that way.I smiled to myself, my arms crossing over my chest. She was beautiful. Seeing her like this almost made me feel guilt
