Kahlan

I wanted to rip her head off.

Sasha.

That perfect, infuriating, smug little bitch who had made me look like a complete fool in front of everyone.

My fingers curled into fists as I paced my dorm room, breathing shallow and fast.

The words kept replaying in my mind, each one a dagger: “You should learn to focus… recognize when you’re not wanted.”

I wanted to scream.

I wanted to storm back into that hall and shove every ounce of my rage straight down her smug little throat.

But as I clenched my jaw, a different thought surfaced. A way to deal with people like her. A way to prove them wrong.

And suddenly, an idea sparked.

I grabbed my bag, stuffed in the few essentials I thought I’d need, and tiptoed past the gates. My heart thudded against my ribs, each beat a rapid drum of excitement and fear.

Security had been lax tonight, distracted by the party and students weaving through the exits. I slipped through the shadows like I’d done a hundred times before, feeling my pulse ham

  • The Alpha's dragon Flame    One Hundred and Thirty Five

    Kahlan's POV.Everything was a blur.The world had reduced itself to a dull roar in my ears and a suffocating heat rising from my chest, scorching my throat with every breath I took.I couldn't remember the exact moment I had left Soren’s arms.I didn't remember crossing the threshold of the war room, nor descending the stone steps that led down into the courtyard.Anger was no longer a strong enough word to describe the sensation; it was a wildfire, a devastating force consuming everything in its path, leaving nothing behind but ash and a freezing, jagged determination.I couldn't cry.My eyes were dry and burning, as if every tear I had ever possessed had been evaporated by the fury driving me forward.I had nothing left to give to grief, not a single drop of sadness remained.I wasn’t even sure how I had managed to get this far, standing now before the massive mountain where the dragons rested, their dark silhouettes etched against the sky like stone guardians.I lifted my head and

    One Hour earlier Ramsey's POV“You seem awfully quiet for someone plotting world domination.”Ephraim’s voice dragged me out of my thoughts like a hook to the ribs. I didn’t flinch. I had felt his presence the moment he crossed the threshold, the scent of ozone and ancient, rotting silk following him like a shroud.I blinked once, twice—and when my vision cleared, he was standing directly in front of me.Grey eyes. Gunmetal sharp. A faint ring of gold circling the pupils like a warning light from a predator. That familiar devil’s smile curled at his mouth, lazy and cruel, as if he had already read the final page of my biography and found the ending hilarious.I leaned back in my chair, fingers resting loosely against the armrest. Beneath the pads of my fingers, I felt the cold, honest grain of the wood. I was already calculating: four meters to the spear leaning against the wall, two seconds to bridge the gap between us, and a thousand ways this man could kill me before I drew my nex

  • The Alpha's dragon Flame    One Hundred and Thirty Three

    Kahlan's POV I woke up on Soren’s chest, the sound of his heart a steady thump in my ear. “You’re awake… and it’s not even past ten o clock—” His groggy voice met me, and I couldn’t help but chuckle softly before nodding, not changing my position. He exhaled a deep breath that made the air shift around us. Shit. “We need to talk.” Bigger shit. He wrapped an arm around me and pushed up so his back was against the headboard. I was strangling him with my limbs, and instinctively I let go of the sheet so he had a clear view of… well, me. Even though my body aches in the most beautiful way....I would much rather we have sex this morning than to have this conversation but Soren despite the fact I could see he was struggling to resist kept his eyes planted on my face . I leaned in so I could rub my breasts against his chest but he stopped me and without hesitation, he reached down, lifted his shirt, and draped it over me and he put one on too.... taking away my perfect morning view

  • The Alpha's dragon Flame    One Hundred and Thirty Two

    Soren's Pov She watched me with wide, trusting eyes as I stripped off the rest of her clothes—jeans, underwear—until she was bare beneath me.I took a second to drink her in: the curve of her waist, the flare of her hips, and the way her thighs parted just slightly.It felt like an invitation to the only home I’d ever known.My mouth went dry at the sheer perfection of her.I shed my own clothes quickly, my cock already aching and heavy against my stomach with a demanding thrum.When I climbed onto the bed and settled between her legs, she welcomed me with open arms and a soft cry.I braced myself above her on my elbows, careful not to crush her under the weight of my hunger.I kissed her again—a slow, deep, and endless exploration of our shared history.My hand slid down her body, cupping her breast, my thumb circling her nipple until she arched into me.I moved lower still, over her ribs and her belly, until my fingers found the slick heat between her thighs.She was wet already, s

  • The Alpha's dragon Flame    One Hundred and thirty one

    SorenI couldn’t let go of her.Not when I practically pulled her out of the war room, not in the hallway, not even when the heavy door to my bedroom finally clicked shut behind us.The moment the lock engaged, the noise of the world outside fell away, and it was just us—finally, fucking finally.Kahlan stood in the middle of the room, moonlight spilling through the tall windows and painting silver across her skin like a celestial blessing.She looked small in my space, fragile in a way that made my chest ache with a sudden, sharp protective instinct, but her eyes were steady on mine.She was waiting for me to speak, to explode, or to demand answers about Ramsey and the dangerous deal she’d made in the dark.I could see the questions in her gaze, the worry that I was going to lose my mind over what she’d told the others downstairs.But I didn’t care about any of that right now.Eight hours.She’d been gone eight hours, and the absence had shredded me, leaving my nerves raw and my mind

    Ramsey's PovMy daughter.Even thinking about her makes my heart swell until it hurts.The sound of her laughter and the way her eyes light up when she’s genuinely happy are the only things that matter to me now.Power, alliances, and war mean nothing in comparison.I would burn the world to ash if it meant she would keep smiling.That truth settles heavy in my chest as I stare ahead, my lips curving without my permission.“You have a great smile on your face.”The voice comes from behind me, calm and knowing.I release a slow breath, the kind that carries a bone-deep exhaustion from too many sleepless nights and too many ugly decisions.I turn.Ephraim stands there, tall and broad-shouldered, his powerful build filling the doorway like a warning.His hair is styled neatly, streaked with grey that only sharpens his presence rather than dulling it.He looks every bit like Soren—the same sharp jaw and the same piercing eyes.And that is exactly why he hates his son.“I’m assuming that s
