Double chapters resume tomorrow >.<, thanks for reading and your patience!
When the prolonged silence stretched beyond two heartbeats, the queen cocked her head to the side and spoke."Is it the mark?โHe frowned at her question, hating that she knew too much, hating that he was out of the loop yet again.โIs that why you are searching for her? Because she marked you?โHe said nothing to her question, merely rolled his eyes."Thatโs the reason, isnโt it? Well, isnโt that simple to resolve?โShe responded with a slight mocking laugh as she crossed her hands over her chest.โThe Alpha neednโt worry about the mark. It will be gone in a month, so my advice, my sincerest advice, is โwaitโ. Is there anything else I can assist you with today?""Where is my wife, Your Majesty? ""Ex-wife. You have no wife, but you do have a mate. So, I suggest you try and build on that lest you burn all your bridges in one day."โI want to see my wife!โHis hand reached beneath the coffee table, flipping it over with such force that it flew to the wall and broke as he stood to surpa
Trigger Warning: Suicidal Ideation & Attempts Adrian M. Knox Guess? What could he guess other than..oh... "M- my attention?" He blurted; something in her tone demanded a guilt he did not want to bear. Her brows lifted before a chuckle escaped her. "Attention? Your attention? Sheโฆa woman who has just lost a piece of her, wanted the attention of a man who walked in her hospital room with another woman's lip gloss on his lips?" She mocked. โI- donโt. I donโt know what you want me to say.โ โYour wife, huh?โ She mocked, and again, his eyes left hers; something about the gold in her gaze was eerily unsettling. "Night one, she was spotted by my security team roaming the halls, pointlessly with blood dripping down from between her legs. On night two, a scalpel went missing. Night three, the day before she was to be released, she slit her wrists. I found her covered in blood. I did, and I held her down with the nurses as they sedated her, but the kicker was she wasnโt even awake, so
Adrian M. KnoxโYouโฆmarked Ruby?โHe nodded to Elaineโs repeated question."No."She uttered as she shook her head from side to side.The Adrian I know, my Adrian, my mate, wouldn't mark another woman while I am lying unconscious.โ"Elaine-""No! Donโt lie to me, I can tell when you are about to lie. Tell me what happened. I canโt hate you! I wonโt, so just be honest with me, okay?โโElaine!โHe called more firmly, but she did not let him speak.โYou are my mate; you are supposed to be with me! To choose me, so no! I won't let you tell me that you marked her; it canโt be true, it-"Again, her body spasmed as if she were seconds from convulsing."Doc- Doctor!"He called.In his head, he had yelled the words, but in reality, his words were barely a whisper, and when no one stormed into the room to aid him, he rushed to her bed, where the emergency button rested above her headrest. He almost pressed the button, but her hand covered it.โI'm fine! Muaas, I'm fine. I justโฆneeded a minute.โ
Adrian M Knox"How is she?โHe asked as he closed the door to the hospitalโs roof garden.Leon liked it there; he liked all things peaceful and โcrispโ, the perfect definition of a man who would say their ideal first date would be a walk in a park. He was a romantic, a threat to him when it came to Ruby because he could treat her with a gentleness he couldnโt muster.He was leaning over the railing, completely disregarding the wooden bench decorated with bamboo on both sides."Normal, good. Is there a reason she can't smell you?"Leon responded, and he stiffened.Adrian wasnโt much of a smoker, but that question made him want to press one of Rubyโs drugs of choice between his fingers and inhale so that, for at least one second, he could feel how she does when she runs away through the smoke.That is how she copesโcoped. Cigarettes, right?Was she smoking nowโwhere she had run away to?She wasโฆafraid of him; she was crying as he fell asleep.โWeird.โHe muttered, but again, Leon did no
Adrian admitted honestly. He did not trust himโanyone with Ruby.โI have messed up too much for you not to seem perfect in her eyes. Everything about you screams homely and understanding and...everything I seem to fall short of with her. I really messed up."Adrian confessed."Yeah, you did. I didn't raise you like this."He scoffed at his best friend's lack of empathy and choice of words, and just as they were about to hug it out, the door to the roof flew open.Leon stiffened and bowed, and before he could do the same, the Lycan, whose frame oozed a fury that felt palpable, approached him with his fist balled.It took only a second for it to connect with his jaw painfully until he tasted iron on his tongue. "You do not threaten my wife."It was a command; every inch of him understood that. He held the same ability but to a smaller degree."Understood, Your Majesty."Adrian answered as his fingers caressed his jaw to check if anything was out of place.Just some blood from his buste
Adrian M. Knox This was the third time during the week that he found himself back in the hotel roomโher hotel room, to be specific.She cleared out her room in the manor, leaving only the clothes he bought herโthey were not a lot, merely two or three tailored dresses and the flowers she bought with Leon.It was almost as if no one but him existed in that space because not even a stray hair, a spare toothbrush or even a hairbrush remained. He couldnโt tell if she was meticulous or his staff spared him having to collect her items to build a nest with them.Oh, right, she did leave a few things in her room, her shelf that they had refurbished to stock with parenting and childcare books. There were so many...no, too many for one to say she was not prepared or excited for motherhood.Yet another thing that eluded him in the fog surrounding Elaine.Had he given in to her need to discuss their future with Elaine as his mate, would things have been different?He could lie and argue that they
Elaine Lenard BrockettHer bags were packed, her bed made, and her make-up on.Had she borrowed the supplies that Muaas offered despite them being Rubyโs shade, yes. She could have refused and stood strong in her individuality, but there was something about beating Ruby at her game that appealed to her.Similar to when Adrian couldnโt stop staring at her when she wore Rubyโs gown. It was evident that he liked the piece on her, so perhaps this time, it will work in her favour again.A sigh escaped her.All this, the make-up and packing, was done over an hour ago, so what the hell was taking Muaas so long? Leon said that he would convince him to come, so why had an hour passed on his watch?An unfamiliar nurse, male and clearly too big for his uniform, stood by the door and knocked."Can I help you?"She asked the nurse, trying her best to keep her irritation at bay."I have been asked to escort you to the car."Her heart fluttered."By the Alpha, right? Why didn't he come to escort me
"Ruby..."Adrianโs call echoes in my mind as his large hands part the flesh of my ass so that his shaft can sink deeper inside me.My limp and jelly-like legs hang on his elbows while he continues to fuck me on his feet. I am uncomfortable, but that is only because he has me in his arms as if I am a sex doll that weighs nothing and worseโฆthe position makes it so that my clit slaps against his flesh each time he thrusts into me.Another cry escapes me as my hands leave the security of his shoulders to gaze at the blue of his eyes."Ruby..."He calls again, his mouth eerily close to my ears.A nagging fear tells me that he intends to bite my nape, but instead, he spins my body roughly and presses me against the wallโno traps me with the wall because now there is no way out no matter how much I wish to fight the cold embracing my back.Resistance is futile; my body feels like jelly, my nails claw his back, and my lips cry out as my orgasm inches to its climax because he has yet to stop p
Hi! Thatโs a wrap for โThe Alphaโs Ruby Obsessionโ; it has been the wildest ride yet. On matters pertaining to bonuses, they will not always be guaranteed a happy ending or to give a sense of closure. Additionally, going forward, not all stories will have bonuses. On to the main matter: I want a light book for my next project, something that doesnโt make me teary while writing and also, I want to leave the woods for the big city for a while, so I thought, why not get high blood pressure and delve into the world of greedy mother-in-laws and audacious husbands in My next book, a billionaire romance, โTrillionaire After Divorceโ. It should be out by January if all factors are cooperative; it will not be as tragic as this one, but it will still have some darkness...and tons of romantic angst. Iโll tell you this in advance: be ready to throw hands at audacities! As usual, it will be 18+; whatever will I do without smut? As always, thank you for reading, and hopefully, I will see you in
** Ruby. "Last step. Just jump. I will catch you." I whisper to Elle, who throws her little arms around my shoulders as she takes her leap of faith gracefully. "Good girl." I praise her quickly before placing her on the ground and holding her hand so we can run across the empty street. It was not in any of my plans to use the window at one a.m., essentially alerting my little sister, Elle, of something going wrong, but I had no choice; Dominic had his men surround my apartment, so if I stayed, I would be forced to sleep with men, now that I have been injected contraceptives on his coin already. After helping Elle in the car waiting for us, I hop in the passenger seat before Wanda drives off. โThanks, Wanda.โ I utter finally as we enter the main road. โBaby, this is stupid; you know Dom will never let you go.โ "He will if you seduce him for me. " I utter softly, and her light and refreshing laugh lighten the mood in the car. โOpen the glove box.โ I do as she asks, but insi
Adrian "That's the girl." Adrian's gaze lifted in the direction his friend pointed. "The number one of business school." It didn't irk him as much as Leon, his best friend, meant for it to; after all, numbers meant nothing to him unless they were in the form of currency and had never found a soul wealthier than his family, even in the university. In fact, it didn't matter so much that he wanted to walk to her and invite her to his group, scholarship or not; she earned the right to associate with him, at least within the confines of the school. "Tell her to join us. No, tell her that she can be sitting with us instead of alone." He ushered Elaine; she was something of a kid sister to him. "What? Why? She is poor; I highly doubt that she can purchase from our section; youโll just make her feel bad." "She stole my spot in the school, so I want everyone to know she earned the right to sit with us. Plus, we can buy her food if she canโt afford it." The notion made little sense to
The last Chapter of the Bonus will be tomorrow. ** โI didnโt ask you to protect me! I wasnโt in danger.โ His sneer rises, and I wince, anticipating another slap, but instead, he clicks his tongue. โYou will need to visit a family planning establishment to get your affairs in order; if you are going to start taking in men, then-โ โI will get you the money!โ โBy tomorrow? Because your debt just went up by eight hundred thousand.โ โI didnโt ask you to interrupt. Donโt give the refund let me go out there and-.โ Dominicโs hand rises, and I flinch before the sound of his tongue clicking against the roof of his mouth echoes once again. โI will give you the day off tomorrow, but Maurice will escort you to the family planning centre. Iโll show you an easy way to pay me back if you are in such a rush to escape me. Now, take that coat off. You look stupid wearing it.โ "Will I look more dignified to the men you intend to whore me out to?" Dominic winces, but his expression does not soft
Hi! Quick disclaimer: The bonus stories are not guaranteed a happy or โclosure-inducingโ ending. Please read at your own risk. Adrianโs hands waste no time lowering to my ass to part my flesh apart. "You are not permitted to touch-" โโTouch the stripperโ? I know, but can't you take it as me making your work easier? I am doing you a favour.โ โI highly doubt a yeast infection counts as a favour. Either lower your pants because your boxers are certainly cleaner to press against, or let me do my dance in peace.โ His hot breath coats my ear as he chuckles. His hands leave my ass to fiddle with his belt and lower his zip, but mother of Christ, why are his knuckles grazing against my centre while he does this? I am certain I have lifted my hips enough for there to be no contact between us. The feel of his fingers hooking upward tells me that his actions are on purpose. But before I can protest, his fingers leave my centre, and instead, his hips thrust upwards on my bare and sensitive
โHand me the tape, Joy.โ I ask as I hold the last box in place before the garments pop out. โJust a second! Elle, donโt run with scissors!โ Elleโs laughter sounds across the hall, making it exceedingly clear that there will be no assistance any time soon. With a sigh, I consider letting the boxโs contents explode open, but in the nick of time, a tape gun is pressed on my shoulder. โOh, thank God. Tape it for me; my arms are holdingโฆ the boxโฆclosed.โ I drawl as surprise takes over my body, causing my grip on the box to lessen such that its contents spill out. โ...Adrian?โ I call as I stand, ignoring the mess I made. "So, you were going to leave." He utters as if he were merely seeking my confirmation on the matter. "Adrian.โ I call with a sigh before looking for the best choice of words. โWhat are you doing here? We talked about-" "You were going to abandon me again?" The loudness in his voice jostles me. There is a certainty in which he asks his question that leaves me
Ruby M. Clive โThis was fun.โ The words play again in my mind before the fatigue I convinced myself was the sex finds me. "Fun." I toy with the word again before looking at my reflection in the mirror. The makeup hid the puffiness of my face well, but the redness remained regardless of the amount of concealer used. My legs feel weak, so I let my flesh crumble to the ground as more tears overcome me. I hate how easily I cry these days, but more than that, I hate the delight that found me when his wolf recognised me. He fell asleep with his length inside me, and I couldnโt pull it out; even now, I can still feel his shape inside me. My gaze lingers on the gauze on my hand; beneath it lies his teeth marks that ooze the scent of the ocean despite the amount of time I rinsed the wound. I donโt get it; no one has ever recalled the past in my presence before, so how could he? It makes sense for his wolf to remember me; we were mates, but not him, his hatred for Clives should prevent
A groan found Adrianโs lips with ease when his hands stroking the space next to him confirmed that it was cold, meaning she had left quite a while ago.His canines tasted of blood; did he bite himself?โFuck! Thatโs so embarrassing!โHe cursed, recalling how desperately he begged her to tell him who the man she loved was and how easily she drew a line with him. He didn't want to wake up; the bed wasnโt even his, but he didnโt want to leave it because the moment he did, he would have to face the consequences of the deal they had madeโnever seeing her again.But was the deal still in effect if she wasnโt there like she promised to be?"Oh, you are up-"Ruby said as the bathroom door opened, and he took in her glowing sight that was emphasised by the steam from the hot shower.She looked fresh and clean but also dressed up. She had on her robe and a full face of makeup, all while her hair remained wrap
Adrian watched Rubyโs flesh devour his hard shaft slowly; she only used her hands to steady his length inside her.If he were any more dazed, he would shove himself inside her, but she was far too tight for such an act not to cause her discomfort, so his teeth found his lip in search of patience before he spoke.โAre you okay?โHe asked when the shadow of a wince crossed her face; his member wasnโt even halfway through.It was quite the awkward question to ask, considering that he was her source of discomfort, so while a part of him prayed that she wouldnโt back out, the other prepared for what felt inevitable.โYesโฆyes, I just need a moment.โShe uttered.โAre you sure? We could stop-โโI am certain.โShe said with a laugh that once again undid him; how did she do that?How did she captivate him with such ease?His eyes fell on her large breasts that seemed to spill on her chest before returning to her eyes.Who was he?Who was the one man who had seen her in this way?He was clearly
