Ezekiel’s POV

"Get this garbage out of my sight before I peel your skin off," I spat.

The sour strawberry hit the marble floor with a wet slap. Red juice sprayed across the white stone. A raw stain in my sterile office. Behind me, the sentinel froze. Leather boots creaked against the floorboards as he shifted his weight. That was the sound of a heartbeat skipping. Fear always leaked through a man's shoes if you knew how to listen.

  • The Alpha's Proxy Bride    Chapter 84

    Ezekiel’s POV"Get this garbage out of my sight before I peel your skin off," I spat.The sour strawberry hit the marble floor with a wet slap. Red juice sprayed across the white stone. A raw stain in my sterile office. Behind me, the sentinel froze. Leather boots creaked against the floorboards as he shifted his weight. That was the sound of a heartbeat skipping. Fear always leaked through a man's shoes if you knew how to listen."Who picked these?" I did not turn around. I kept my eyes on the red smear."I am not sure, Alpha," the sentinel muttered. His voice lacked spine."Find them. Bring them to me."The door clicked shut behind him. He moved fast when his life depended on it. I liked a man who knew how to vanish without making me ask twice. I picked up another berry from the crystal bowl. This one looked flawless. Shiny. Cold. It looked like every loyal soldier I had ever bought.My phone buzzed against the mahogany desk. The vibration was a frantic, erratic rattle. Trouble neve

  • The Alpha's Proxy Bride    Chapter 83

    Nixon’s POV"You look clean."My own voice cut through the heavy, wet air of the shower, sounding like a stranger’s. It was too flat. Too controlled.Scout blinked up at me through the rising steam, her pupils wide, swallowing the hazel of her irises until her eyes looked completely black. She did not answer. She just stood there, her small shoulders slick with hot water, a thick layer of white soap lather sliding down the curve of her collarbone.I pulled my hand back. My knuckles brushed the wet glass of the shower door, cold against my burning skin. I had been an inch away from grabbing her. An inch away from pulling her against my chest and letting the pack politics burn to the ground."Sorry," I muttered.The word was pathetic. It got lost in the steady, heavy hiss of the showerhead."It is fine," she said.Her teeth clicked together on the last word. She was shivering, but her gaze never left my face. It was a challenge. A silent, bruising stare that dared me to cross the line I

    Nixon’s POV"Stand still."The command left my throat raw, scraping against the humid air of the bathroom. Scout did not move. Her spine straight, a rigid line of bone and tense muscle underneath the torn, bloody fabric of her dress. Crimson streaks had dried into dark, crusty tracks across her bare shoulder blades.I reached for the zipper.Her body locked instantly. The sudden stiffness in her shoulders travelled straight down her back, a silent scream of absolute resistance."Relax," I muttered.She did not. She shifted her weight, a tiny, miserable twitch of her frame, but the steel in her muscles remained tight.I caught the metal tab of the zipper between two fingers and pulled down. The teeth parted with a sharp, rhythmic click. Piece by piece, the ruined cloth fell away to reveal the pale curve of her back, ruined by mottled purple bruises and smeared filth. My knuckles brushed the centre of her spine.She flinched. A violent shiver rippled through her skin, vibrating right in

    Scout’s POV"You are pushing your luck, Scout."Nixon did not move. He stood under the freezing blast of the shower head. The skin across his ribs went tight. Every muscle in his stomach bunched into hard ridges under my palms. I kept my hand flat against his chest. I felt his pulse. It was a fast, heavy thud against my fingertips."I am just washing the soap away."My voice shook. The lie tasted like copper in my mouth. I did not move my hand. The water sprayed over my knuckles and ran down the dark hair on his chest. He looked down at me. His eyes were completely black in the dim light of the bathroom. The muscle in his left cheek bunched up. His jaw looked like it might snap from how hard his teeth were locked together."Remove your hand."He did not yell. He whispered it. The sound was low and dry. It cut right through the splash of the water against the tiles.I pulled my fingers back. My skin felt freezing cold the second the contact broke."Sorry."The word got swallowed by the

    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
