Eli's POV

I fought the temptation to ignore him, keeping my steps light as I followed behind him to his office.

My body crashed into his desk chair just as the door slammed shut next to him.

His eye twitched when it settled on me in his space, but rather than argue, he made his way to the couch and settled there instead.

His calm temperament had me tensing just a little.

"Just got a call from one of my loan sharks down by the docks," he started.

I knew where the conversation was going, but chos

    Stella's POVI knew a liar when I saw one.Sloan's stunt had sent my heart to my throat, and my panic had it racing fast. But the moment Eli had lifted her shirt and I saw the expression on his face, I knew I'd been played.And I was going to play them both right back, Anya included.Count my days? If she thought me intimidated, she had another thing coming.Eli stared down at Sloan and smiled. "My stepmother is injured as well, can't you see? Anya will help you up."Anya glared at us with open disgust but eventually settled her gaze on Eli. "You can't do that! You can't abandon your fiancée for this... this...""Careful how you speak to her, Anya." Eli glanced down at Sloan, his face still carrying that light, elegant nonchalance that told me he was more amused by this mess than disturbed. "Are you sure you'd like me to follow you? I'd call a doctor since you said something's displaced. He'll figure out what it is."Sloan paled then, knowing now that Eli following her might not be a

  • The Alpha's Forbidden Secret   Chapter 49

    Eli's POVEven before Sloan had let go of the bar, I'd known damn well what her intentions might have been.Asking an omega to spot in case of an accident for such a heavy weight made no sense. Especially one who'd clearly never been to the gym before.I shot forward as Stella struggled to get the bar off Sloan, who didn't look nearly as injured as she was acting.Stella, on the other hand, was grunting and visibly panicking, her voice so tiny as she muttered desperate apologies while asking if anything was broken.I was more worried about broken equipment than broken bones, though. From how Stella had released the bar, she was definitely not injured.By the time I reached her, Sloan had resumed the waterworks, allowing the tears to flood the sides of her face."Babe! It hurts so much. I'm in so much pain," she whimpered, her lip quivering."I... I don't know what happened. The bar slipped, and... Sloan, I'm sorry!" Stella kept pleading as she struggled to get the large metal weight o

  • The Alpha's Forbidden Secret   Chapter 48

    Stella's POVI brought up my hands, crossing them over my chest as Eli's gaze strode over my body once again."Evening, ladies," he said, stepping in and walking toward the showers with calm, confident strides.He was dressed in knee-length shorts and a shirt, both black, obviously.Seeing Eli in any other color would be equal to seeing fish fly.Sloan snapped her fingers in my face, drawing my attention away from Eli to her."Are you going to keep staring at him or help me like you promised?" she asked, her eyebrow cocked.She shot a skeptical look at Eli, who didn't give us an ounce of attention anymore."Right. Sorry." I dropped my hands and took the position she'd described, behind her as she lay down."You don't need to touch the weights. Just help me get them off if I get a cramp or something. Basically, you're my spotter for the day." She smirked up at me.I forced a smile back. My relationship with Sloan got weirder and weirder as time passed, and the line between friendship a

"Why does a lowly loan shark have access to you?"He didn't fall for my little stunt and kept to whatever script it was he'd prepared before calling me here."Said you asked about a man. Specifically, the man who handed me my latest bride," he continued, raising an eyebrow at me.I shrugged. "I got bored. Decided to find out who my new stepmother truly was.""Drop the innocent act and save us some time, will you? I'm not buying into your bullshit. If those were your tr

  • The Alpha's Forbidden Secret   Chapter 46

    Eli's POVI'd barely straightened my body up before the door was slammed shut in my face, the force so heavy the wood rattled against its hinges.My wolf howled, clearly displeased by the open disrespect."I guess she's in a sour mood." A familiar voice spoke from behind me.I turned, my face calm and unbothered as I stared down at Sloan.I wasn't much taller than her, just a few inches, unlike Stella, whom I had well over a foot on in height. Still, there was a noticeable size difference, and towering over her was relatively easy."How would I know?"Sloan shrugged, though clearly unhappy. "You've been in there with her for a good amount of time. The least you should know is if she's fine or not.""And you care about that because...?" I left the question hanging in the air, settling among the tension growing around us."She's my mother-in-law," Sloan said, gasping with fake enthusiasm. "I'm just looking out for her."I didn't bother asking her to drop the act. There was no point when

    Stella's POVMy back stiffened against the wall, and I shifted to shove him away on instinct, desperate to escape his predatory stare.But his grip on the wall was firm, and he didn't budge despite my efforts."Is that a price you're willing to pay, sunshine? If it is, all you have to do is say the words, and I'll make it happen. I don't share what's mine, Stella.""You... you're engaged! Sloan is right across the hall!"He groaned, like I'd just reminded him of a distant cousin and not his fiancée."She's not important. I'll take care of her."My eyebrows dipped into a frown. "Like your father took care of all his other wives when he got bored?"He didn't respond, but I had the answer I was looking for."You're all insane in this family," I hissed, my heart pounding against my chest.He didn't seem offended. Instead, he leaned down and took my lower lip between his teeth, the same one he'd told me not to hurt myself with.By the time he pulled away, I could still feel the aftereffect
