Scout’s POV

"Hold still."

Nixon’s voice rasped against the back of my neck. The bathroom air tasted like damp stone and stale copper. He stood too close. His body heat hit my bare shoulders like a physical weight, pressing me toward the sink. The white marble walls felt tight, closing in until the space between us didn’t exist.

His rough fingertips grazed my skin.

I locked my jaw. My shoulders went rigid, the muscles bunching up like rusted iron hinges.

"I said relax," he muttered.

  • The Alpha's Proxy Bride    Chapter 80

    Scout’s POV"Hold still."Nixon’s voice rasped against the back of my neck. The bathroom air tasted like damp stone and stale copper. He stood too close. His body heat hit my bare shoulders like a physical weight, pressing me toward the sink. The white marble walls felt tight, closing in until the space between us didn’t exist.His rough fingertips grazed my skin.I locked my jaw. My shoulders went rigid, the muscles bunching up like rusted iron hinges."I said relax," he muttered.A sharp metal pop echoed in the small room. The zipper gave way. He pulled it down, slow and deliberate, the tracks grinding together as the heavy fabric parted. The cool air hit my bare back, but his knuckles followed right behind, tracking the line of my spine.My skin prickled. A sudden shock surged through my chest, making my pulse hammer against my ribs. He calluses rubbed against my skin, hard and scratching. I could hear his heavy, even breathing. It stirred the tiny hairs at the base of my skull."T

  • The Alpha's Proxy Bride    Chapter 79

    Scout’s POV"You should have minded your own business, bitch."Claire spat the words as she lunged, the jagged glass shard catching the moonlight. I backward-stumbled, the gravel ripping through my slippers. The impact knocked the wind from my lungs in a wet, ragged gasp. Before I could roll, her weight crashed into my chest, heavy and smelling of copper and sour sweat.The shard came down.Once.Twice.The cold metal bit deep between my shoulder blades, sliding past skin and scraping hard against bone with a sickening, wet crunch. I opened my mouth to scream, but only a hot bubble of blood bubbled up. Claire leaned over me, her mouth twisted into a wide, toothy grin that tore her nice-girl mask completely in half."This is how garbage gets handled," she whispered.The glass plunged down a third time, straight toward my throat.I bolted upright with a choked shriek, my palms slamming out into the dark. My fingers clawed at empty air, searching for a face to rip, a wrist to break. My h

  • The Alpha's Proxy Bride    Chapter 78

    Nixon’s POV"Get out of the way before I take your hands off!"The heavy doors to the medical wing hit the stone wall with a crash that rattled my teeth. My arms locked tight around Scout. Her blood was hot through my shirt. Wet and sticky. Too much of it. Her head hung back over my forearm like a broken doll.Alice dropped her glass tubes. They shattered on the floor. Her eyes snapped to Scout's face and the color drained right out of her skin."Get a cot!" Alice yelled at the two omegas near the back wall. "Move!"The girls tripped over each other. They shoved a metal cart with wheels toward me. I dropped Scout onto the thin mattress. Her hand fell away from her throat. The cut gaping open. Red. Jagged. Bubbling with dark fluid every time her pulse pushed through.Alice slammed a thick white pad directly onto the hole. She leaned her full weight into it. Her knuckles went white. My own hands were shaking so hard I had to ball them into fists to hide it."Who did this?" Alice barked.

    Scout’s POV"Let her go, you savage bastard, or I will carve her throat to the spine!" Claire screams, her weight pressing the jagged shard of glass harder into the skin under my jaw.The doors do not just open. They splinter. The oak frame cracks with a sound like a gunshot, and Nixon fills the space, his face stripped of anything human."Get off her," Nixon says.His voice is too quiet. It is a dead, flat whisper that freezes the air in the room, but his movement is a blur of brute speed. Before Claire can drag the edge across my windpipe, his hand locks around her forearm. Bones pop. A wet, crunching snap echoes against the bare walls as he twists her wrist until the glass drops from her limp fingers."Nixon, stop!" I choke out, my hands scraping against the floorboards as I try to push my weight backward away from them.He ignores me completely, his fingers migrating up to Claire’s throat, pinning her against the plaster with enough force to leave her heels dangling inches above t

  • The Alpha's Proxy Bride    Chapter 76

    Nixon’s POV"Get the fuck up, or I will paint this floor with your teeth!"My voice bounced off the stone walls of the infirmary. My hands slammed onto the iron edge of the bed. Kayden lay right under me. His chest did not move. The white foam around his lips was already drying into a crust. Dead. The bastard died right before he could give me Rory's name."He is gone, Alpha," Elder Nathan said. His fingers stayed on Kayden's cold neck. "The poison took his tongue before we could even unlock the cell.""I do not care about his tongue!" I grabbed Nathan by his shirt. I yanked the old man across the table until the glass jars rattled. "He was under your care. You and Alice. You let a dog die in my own house while he held the keys to my mother's life!"Alice did not look up from her tray. Her hands shook as she wiped a bloody needle. "It was alchemised, Nixon. The same base signature as the dose inside your mother. He did not get it from the guards. He had it hidden in his own skin.""A

  • The Alpha's Proxy Bride    Chapter 75

    Scout’s POV"You actually thought I gave a single damn about you."Claire spat the words directly into my face. The girl who had held my hand while I cried was gone. This creature standing ten feet away in the flickering candlelight was a stranger. A predator.I backed up one step. My heel hit the edge of the heavy rug. My heart hammered a frantic rhythm against my ribs, a dull, thudding warning. I kept my eyes locked on her hands. Specifically, on the blue residue staining the tips of her fingers. The wolfsbane. The poison she had been slipping into the pack’s tea for weeks."Why?" My voice came out as a raspy whisper. I needed to buy time. I needed to find an exit. "You swore an oath to the North Pack. You knelt before the Alpha.""Oaths are for fools." Claire didn't shout. Her voice was flat, devoid of the bubbly warmth she used to fake so well. "And Nixon is the biggest fool of all.""Rory paid you." It wasn't a question. The rival Alpha’s shadow hung heavy over the entire territo
