Esme's POV

My palm still tingled from the last strike.

Raven’s head was turned slightly to the side, her cheek already flushing a deep red. Her hair clung to the corner of her lip where my slap had landed.

She looked stunned, almost childlike for the first time since I’d ever known her.

But only for a second.

Then the anger returned. Arrogance. The disbelief that someone she considered beneath her had dared to touch her.

“How dare you hit me, Esme?” she snapped, her voice shaking with humilia

  • The Beta's Temptation    Stopped breathing

    Cole's POVI stood there in the middle of the cell and watched their faces change the second the words left my mouth. Damien’s eyes went wide first, then Romanov started shaking his head like he could not believe what he just heard. Marek was already hanging there half dead from the beating I gave him earlier but even he lifted his head slowly and stared at me with pure terror in his eyes. None of them moved. None of them spoke. They just hung there chained to the wall waiting for me to say I was joking. But I was not joking. I don't joke. Not even a little.“Get started,” I said calmly and clearly. “Damien, you take Marek first. Fuck him hard while Romanov you hold him down and make sure he takes every inch he gives. If any of you stop or go easy I will cut something off and feed it to the next one.”My voice did not shake. I meant every word and they knew it because they had seen what I did to people who crossed me before.Romanov looked at me like I had lost my mind. “You are

  • The Beta's Temptation    Caught 2

    Cole's POVThe moment they dragged them in, the air inside the cell changed.Damien, Romanov, and Marek were finally in one place.All three of them.All three responsible.All three breathing the same air as me.The metal door slammed shut behind us, and for a few seconds, no one spoke.Marek was already hanging where I left him, his body weak and barely holding on, but the moment he saw the other two being dragged in, his eyes widened slightly like he did not expect to see them again.Romanov was thrown to the ground first, groaning as his injured shoulder hit hard.Damien was forced down next, but he did not fall quietly, he struggled against the guards until they shoved him harder and forced him onto his knees.Then his eyes lifted.And they met mine.“You really went this far,” he said slowly, his breathing still uneven from the fight.I stepped forward.“You should have killed me when you had the chance,” I replied.Romanov let out a weak laugh from the ground.“You think this c

  • The Beta's Temptation    Caught 1

    A week gone~Cole’s POVFor weeks, there had been nothing but movement, tracking, waiting, and then moving again.Damien and Romanov did not stay in one place for long, and that alone told me how scared they were, because men like them did not run unless they knew something worse was coming for them.And I was that thing.We had chased leads across different territories, burned through safe houses, and wiped out every man who tried to stand in our way, and every time we got close, they slipped away again like rats hiding in holes.But this time was different.Mark had finally gotten something solid, a confirmed location that did not look like another trap or false lead, and the moment he sent it through, I did not even wait to think twice before moving.Raid was already with me before I said anything.He did not ask questions.He did not need to.Raid knew exactly what this meant.We moved at night, with a small team behind us, because I did not want too many people involved, and I di

  • The Beta's Temptation    Torture Continues

    Raid's POVThe moment Marek’s eyes snapped open after the injection, the first thing he saw was Cole standing directly in front of him.For a few seconds Marek just stared at him, breathing hard like someone who had been drowning and suddenly got dragged back to the surface.Then the pain came back.His entire body tensed against the chains holding his arms above him and a broken sound escaped his throat.“Please…” he rasped weakly.Marek looked nothing like the confident man we had chased for months.His clothes were soaked, his face was pale, and his eyes kept moving around the room like he was hoping to find a way out even though he knew there was none.Cole watched him silently.There was something terrifying about that silence.Because the Cole I used to know would shout, threaten, maybe even laugh while hurting someone, but this version of him was quiet and calm, and that calmness made everything worse.“You woke up faster this time,” Cole said slowly.Marek swallowed painfully.

  • The Beta's Temptation    You hurt the wrong woman

    Raid’s POVThe ride back was quiet but the silence inside the vehicle felt stiff and uncomfortable, and every time I glanced at the rear seat where Marek was tied down, I could see the fear slowly growing in his eyes as the reality of his situation settled inside his head.Marek had been arrogant and loud and confident, but now he looked different because his legs were bleeding badly from the gunshots and every bump on the road made him groan in pain while he tried to hold himself together.He kept looking at Cole again and again like he was hoping to see some kind of mercy in his face, but there was nothing there.Absolutely nothing.Cole drove the entire time without speaking, his hands steady on the wheel and his eyes cold and distant like he was already thinking about the things he planned to do once we arrived.I had known Cole for many years and I had seen him angry before. I had seen him kill without hesitation and destroy enemies without blinking, but what I was seeing now was

  • The Beta's Temptation    Ambushed and caught

    Week’s later~Raid’s POVThe night air was cold and quiet as our convoy moved through the empty road, and the only sounds were the engines of the vehicles and the occasional crackle from the communication devices inside the cars.I sat in the passenger seat while Cole drove.Cole.His face looked the same as it had for the past two weeks, cold and empty, like a man who had already crossed a line and had no intention of ever going back.Two weeks ago he had been thinking he had lost Esme.And the man sitting beside me now was not the same one who had once looked at her like she was the only thing keeping him human.Now he looked like someone who had accepted darkness completely.We had received the information just hours ago from Mark.He had tracked the signal we had been hunting for days and finally confirmed the location of the man who had caused so much destruction.Marek.Mark had sent the coordinates and Cole had not even waited ten minutes before ordering everyone to prepare.An

  • The Beta's Temptation    He's coming

    Cole's POV I was about to push in when a voice cut through the mindlink connection, it was Nolan. “Where the hell are you, man?” His tone was rough, urgent, and slightly shaken. I exhaled through my nose, my shoulders tightening. I stepped away from the trembling Esme on the ground and pinched t

  • The Beta's Temptation    Steal

    Esme’s POV I left Cole’s room as fast as I could, gripping the USB tightly in my hand. My heart wouldn’t stop pounding. I didn’t even know why I was shaking so much..anger, fear, or that deep unsettling curiosity crawling up my spine. The hallway was quiet except for the distant sound of guards

    Esme's POV Before he could finish, I spat at him and stormed out before I even knew what I was doing. The door slammed behind me, the echo rolling down the corridor like thunder that belonged to my anger. My hands were trembling, my chest heaving. I didn’t know where I was going—anywhere but that

  • The Beta's Temptation    Hinted secrets

    Cole's POV I closed the door to Esme's room and walked down the hall. My mind raced with anger from her words about Lior not being mine. Three years had passed since she left and I still felt the regret. I headed to the office to talk to Nolan about the disease and the plan. The door was slight
