Vanessa

My back screamed. The rough stone floor pressed into my knees. My hands were fists, trying to keep me from collapsing completely.

Lucas’s whip had torn through my shirt, and I knew my skin was shredded beneath.

My head shot up. A young woman rushed in. She was beautiful, with dark, intelligent eyes. Her green dress was simple, but she carried herself with elegance.

She was gamma. My instinct screamed it the moment I saw her.

Lucas turned, irritated. The whip dangled from his hand. “Why the hell are you screaming like a market fishwife?” he snarled.

She didn’t answer him. Her eyes, blazing with fury, were fixed on me, then on the whip. She stormed over to Lucas. Before he could react, she snatched the whip from his grasp.

I watched in shock as she then shoved him with both hands. It wasn't a powerful push, but it was deliberate and stunned him into momentary silence. It was enough to humiliate him in front of his own men. Then she rushed to my side.

She dropped to her knees b

  • The Alpha's Broken Pet   Thirty-One

    Vanessa I held the Hunter crest tighter in my hand and climbed the stairs to my room. Once inside, I sat on my bed and unfolded the cloth. The crest glinted under the light.Freedom. That was what it stood for. The right to rule ourselves. The right to protect our kind. It had been a symbol of pride for my family for generations. Now it was just a relic in my hands, mocking me.I looked around my plain room. I was a servant now, who cleaned up after women who spat at me. And here I was, holding a symbol of honor like I deserved it.How ironic. This crest used to hang in the great hall of our estate. Now I was shoving it under floorboards like a guilty secret. I lifted the loose board near my bedside, slid the crest beneath it, and closed it. One day, I’d pull it out again. When I was free. When I had a name again.I straightened my dress and stepped out.Upstairs was quiet. I lingered in the hallway, waiting for someone to summon me for anything. Then I heard a dramatic whimper.I

    VanessaAfter attending to Maya,I stepped out of her room, closing the door quietly behind me. I was grateful that I hadn’t let that dark voice inside me win.I barely made it to the stairs when I saw Nina.She was standing still, leaning on the banister. Her arms were crossed tight over her chest, and when she turned, her eyes were swollen and red-rimmed.I slowed my steps. “Nina? Have you been crying?”She turned her face away and gave a small laugh. “It’s probably that damn shampoo,” she mumbled. “It stings.”I arched my brow. “Try again.”She shook her head, and then the tears came. Silent at first. Then, suddenly, she broke. Her shoulders trembled and her hands went to her face.I didn’t hesitate. I reached for her wrist and guided her down the hallway, straight into her quarters. She followed me like she had nothing left.When we entered, she sat on the edge of her bed.“I’m tired,” she whispered. “Tired of being silent. Of swallowing every insult. Of smiling while Maya and Isab

    VanessaI was dripping. My thighs were wet, and my breathing wouldn’t slow. If there was ever a moment I knew I was screwed, it was now. My body wasn’t just reacting. It was begging.I gripped the edge of the wall behind me, trying to stay upright. My heart rammed against my ribs. I could barely look Alec in the eyes without feeling like I was going to melt into the floor. The scent of him, and the way he stared at me like he owned me, was breaking me open.My lips were still swollen from his last kiss, but I wasn’t ready when he lunged again. Alec's mouth crashed onto mine with that same hungry desperation like he couldn’t get enough of me.I pulled away, panting. "No self-control? Seriously?"His smirk was pure sin. "You’re dripping, Vanessa. Don’t come at me like I’m the only one losing it.”I turned to leave, but his arm locked around my waist and yanked me back. His lips devoured mine again, rougher this time. My skirt bunched up in the back, exposing too much. I moaned into his

    AlecThe weight of the crown never left my shoulders. Even now, with my body half-naked, slicked in oil, and surrounded by firelight and painted skin, the weight of the crown didn’t ease.I was lying back on one of the mats, arms stretched behind my head as two courtesans worked my shoulders and legs. It felt good. Their hands were steady, and the tension in my body welcomed every push.Before I became Alpha, I could disappear. No wolves trailing after me, no favor-seekers on my heels. I could walk the forest until my bones hurt, sleep in, and wake up without five damn decisions waiting for me.Now, even my stillness had to be performed.One of the courtesans reached for more oil. I didn’t stop her. Walking away from the seat of power tonight wasn’t an option.Then I saw Vanessa. Her tray wobbled slightly as she moved across the courtyard. She didn’t meet my gaze, but I caught the hesitation. Just enough to betray her thoughts.She looked at me and turned away.I sat up and watched h

    Alec Vanessa's scent curled into my lungs like a slow-acting drug. That damned scent. I wanted to tear my skin off just to stop feeling it.Everything in me burned. My wolf was pressing harder than ever, raging and clawing beneath the surface. One second more and he’d take over.Vanessa had no idea what I was holding back. If she did, she would’ve run.Instead, she held her ground like she wanted to die pretty.I narrowed my gaze. “You will show me respect.”Nothing.“I’m not one of those foolish nobles who chase skirts in the shadows. I am Alpha. My word and will is law.”Still nothing. Not even a flicker of fear.“Do you even know who you’re speaking to?”“Loud and clear,” she said, unbothered. “The almighty Alpha who follows his cock more than his crown.”I took a step forward. Her back touched the tree.“I should punish you for that.”Her mouth twitched, amused. “But you won’t.”I leaned in, enough to brush her cheek with the heat of my breath. “Keep talking like that and I’ll ma

    VanessaThe basket was light in my hands, but my thoughts felt like boulders stacked on my chest. I kept my pace steady, heading to the garden and fixing my eyes on the trail of petals scattered from the night’s wind. Maya wanted fresh apples, and I needed an excuse to stay out of sight.Isabella's words echoed in my skull. It made no sense that Nina was trying to help me. Why would she help me if she once had Alec? What woman reaches out to the girl bonded to the man she once loved?Maybe Olga was right. Maybe kindness was just manipulation wrapped in softer packaging. Nina could be helping me to soothe guilt. Or maybe she pitied me. Maybe she just wanted to get close enough to watch me fall.My chest tightened.Jealousy tasted bitter. It clung to the back of my tongue, refusing to be swallowed. I didn’t want to feel anything for Alec, let alone this fire in my stomach every time I pictured him with someone else. Especially Nina.They were werewolves, not priests. Sex was nothing her
