Ivy's POV

"Ummm,Absolutely not!”

The words tore out of my throat before my brain could even process the full horror of what this lunatic had just pitched. The audacity, the disrespect.

Fuck. I hated this.

"I am not letting that self-entitled,arrogant, insufferable asshole put his dick anywhere near me!" I barked, stepping right into Callisto's personal space, my hands itching so violently to wrap around his scrawny neck that my knuckles were turning chalk white. "Do you hear me? Never! Not

  • The Assassin Alpha's Heir   Chapter 79 — We're Going To Burn It

    Alfonso's POVThe rain hit my bare shoulders like needles, but all I could feel was the pulse under my right palm.Fifteen minutes ago the alarms had gone off and the sensors had died. I'd been out of bed and halfway down the stairs before I was even awake. Now I stood in the mud behind my own house with my hand around a stranger's throat.My claws were sunk half an inch into his neck. Blood leaked around the black tips and the downpour washed it down his collar. His boots scraped the wet cobblestones, heels kicking up mud, his hands clawing at my wrist like he could pry me loose.I kept the pressure steady, crushing his windpipe until he made small, wet squeaks. Just enough to let him know his life hung on my mercy.Boots sloshed through the grass behind me."Perimeter clear, Boss!" Mateo shouted over the storm.He and Oreo rounded the corner of the brick wall with shotguns raised, sweeping the dark garden. Oreo had grease smeared across his glasses and blood dripping from his knuckl

  • The Assassin Alpha's Heir   Chapter 78 — Wrong Answer

    Ivy's POVThe sky split open and dumped sheets of freezing rain that washed the flour off my skin and turned the lawns to churning mud.It was pitch black out here. The EMP had killed the main transformer, and the courtyard was lit only by the flicker of emergency lanterns and the flash of gunfire near the fence. Kracker's grenade launcher let out a distant thump-thump, and orange sparks sprayed against the tree line.Thunder rolled across the clouds and rattled up through the soles of my bare feet.Perfect.I loved the rain. Rain hid the smell of gunpowder, blinded heat cameras, and covered the wet sound of a blade going into a body.The agency had taught me that too. Operatives hated storms. They hated mud and bad light and cold hands. I had spent ten years making it my home field.I climbed the lattice on the side of the garden shed in three quick pulls and crouched on the roof like a gargoyle. Water ran down my face and plastered my bangs to my forehead, soaking my sweatpants and

  • The Assassin Alpha's Heir   Chapter 77 — Don't Let Them Touch My Brother

    Alfonso's POVHer pulse thumped under my thumb, fast and fluttery, giving away everything her mouth tried to deny.Every day, the wall she'd spent ten years building dropped another inch. A brick here, a crack there. Seeing the ice-cold ghost lean into my touch in a flour-dusted kitchen, staring up at me with that breathless confusion, was driving me crazy in the best way. My wolf was drunk on the smell of her and practically begging me to take the rest of her pride right now.I leaned down, my eyes dropping to her parted lips, ready to kiss the stubborn attitude out of her mouth.One more breath and I'd have had her. Her eyes had gone half-closed and the scowl had melted into something I would have paid good money to see again.The lights overhead cut out for a second, snapped back, and buzzed with an ugly drone.Then came the sound that turned my blood to ice.A shrill whine tore through the ceiling speakers, rising and falling, rattling the walls.Red alert. Breach.The warmth, the

  • The Assassin Alpha's Heir   Chapter 76 — Whatever You Say, Princess

    Ivy's POVI dragged my sleeve across my nose and wiped the flour off so hard I nearly took the skin with it."You think you're hilarious, don't you?" I snapped, glaring at his smug face like I could burn a hole through it.The corner of his mouth twitched. Gwen's footsteps faded down the hall, and the quiet that followed felt a lot louder than it should have.Great. Left alone with the wolf.My heart was already pounding, and I blamed the flour. Flour got in your lungs. Flour made you dizzy. That had to be it.I snatched the rolling pin off the board and aimed the floury end at the middle of his chest. The wood hovered an inch from his black shirt, my knuckles white around the handle."Back off, Rocca," I warned, narrowing my eyes. "Hitting a pregnant woman—or a maybe-pregnant woman—is a low blow, even for a Lycan mob boss."The words fell out of my mouth before my brain could stop them.Oh, you idiot, Ivana. Why would you say that out loud?!Alfonso's eyebrows shot up toward his hair

  • The Assassin Alpha's Heir   Chapter 75 — Oh Lord, Please Have Mercy

    Alfonso's POVThe smell of gun oil was usually enough to clear my head, but today it wasn't doing shit.I leaned over the workbench in the armory, dragging a patch down the barrel of a rifle while Mateo tapped through satellite maps on his tablet. The screens threw blue light across the vests, rifles, and crates of ammo stacked along the walls. I hadn't slept. Every time I shut my eyes, I saw Ivy standing on that balcony with her hands gripping the rail, waiting for me to give her a reason to jump."The southern border is quiet for now," Mateo said, zooming in on the coastal gate where Cassian's convoy had left three hours ago. "Seraphina threw two suitcases at the gate guard before she got in the car, by the way. Said she'd have him flogged in public once her uncle takes the high seat."I snorted and set the rifle part down with a clatter. "Let her scream at the trees. What about Cassian?"Mateo's jaw tightened. He leaned against the bench and crossed his arms. "That's the problem. H

  • The Assassin Alpha's Heir   Chapter 74 — A Sight Too Good

    Ivy’s POVI didn’t wait for him to open his mouth again before I shoved past his bare chest and walked straight down the hallway, boots squeaking on the floorboards.“Hey! Where are you running off to, Princess?” Alfonso called after me, laughing. “We’re not done talking about the boot threat!”Oh, yes we are. One more word about his gibberish and I swear I'm going to throw up. “Go choke on a silver coin, Alfonso!” I yelled over my shoulder.I refused to turn around. If I did, he’d see my face, and right now my cheeks were burning. Future Luna. In front of a High Council elder. In front of four armed arbiters. In front of Seraphina.Tell me you're nuts without actually saying you're nuts. That was the definition of the stunt he'd just pulled. The man was insane.Who says that in the middle of a legal warrant like he’s ordering extra cheese on a pizza? We had a deal. I give him an heir, he keeps Luka alive and hidden, and then I disappear. Now the entire underworld thought I was mea
