Dexter

I could feel her desire, smell her lust... It was surprisingly heightened tonight, but there was still something behind it that I couldn't quite place. I decided to brace myself and sleep, but the strange thing was that I didn’t send her out anyway.

Aria was coming onto me by herself. It felt suspicious, but I couldn’t deny this strange pull. "You seriously don’t plan on sleeping while I’m here? It’s unlike you. Or are you suddenly limp? Did something happen?" She paused for a moment, wa

  • The Cruel Alpha Is My Mate   Chapter 54

    AriaIt was a setup. A well-orchestrated, smug little trap, and I fucking knew it the second I walked into that goddamn room.Sophia had invited me—no, summoned me—to serve drinks at the private dinner the pack was having that night. Warriors, high ranks, a few chosen family members. I wasn’t stupid. I knew what this was. She wanted to parade herself next to Dexter like she’d already won, like the seat beside him meant something permanent. Like I was the fucking outsider now.I didn’t plan on reacting. Not visibly. Not in a way that would give her the satisfaction of knowing she’d gotten under my skin. But the second my eyes locked on Dexter at the far end of the table, something twisted inside me. Not just irritation. Not just jealousy. Something uglier. Something I didn’t want to admit still existed.He looked relaxed, leaned back in his chair, arm thrown casually over the backrest like he owned the room. Which, of course, he did. Sophia sat beside him, clinging to his arm like a le

  • The Cruel Alpha Is My Mate   Chapter 53

    DexterI should’ve been relieved.Everything was fucking sorted. The engagement was official, the press was eating it up, Sophia was walking around like the Luna she was now, and my mother could finally shut the fuck up.But instead of peace, all I felt was this itch crawling under my skin.Restless. Pissed. Frustrated.And it wasn’t the media, it wasn’t Sophia, and it sure as hell wasn’t my mother’s smug face that had my blood boiling.Every time I caught Aria in the same room as Sophia, smiling politely, saying the right words, acting like none of this shit was burning her from the inside, I wanted to smash something.She was too fucking calm.Too composed.Like she didn’t care. Like she wasn’t watching the man she was mated to get handed over to another woman on a silver fucking platter.It made me want to tear shit apart.What the fuck was she playing at?She’d started this war. She was the one who walked in with that mouth, that fire, that don’t-give-a-damn attitude and flipped m

    Aria Sophia didn’t waste a fucking second.The wedding was barely over. The scent of wilting flowers still lingered in the corridors, petals crushed into the cracks of the courtyard stone, and already Sophia was parading herself around the packhouse like she owned the damn place. Luna robes. Luna smirk. Luna entitlement. It all clung to her like perfume, choking the air I breathed. Every hallway I turned down, every room I entered—she was there. Like a stain I couldn’t scrub out.I knew it was coming.I had prepared myself for this. For her victory lap. For the backhanded comments dressed in sweet smiles. For the sideways glances. For the whispers that would follow me down the hall like shadows. I knew Sophia. And I knew she wouldn’t be satisfied until I was six feet under or crawling at her feet.Neither was happening."Aria," she said sweetly, appearing at the back of the pack house where I usually sit like a damn storm cloud wrapped in satin. Her hair was curled, pinned up like sh

    Aria News about Dexter and Sophia’s wedding spread like wildfire, igniting every corridor of the packhouse, every corner of the training grounds, every whispered conversation in the kitchens. I pretended not to hear. Not to care. I smiled when they expected me to. I did my chores, trained with the others, and acted like everything was normal. Like the sound of Sophia’s name next to his didn’t make my stomach twist into a thousand tight knots.But the truth was, I was anything but normal.This pack wasn't mine. It never was. I came here with revenge in my heart and fire in my veins. My father had betrayed Dexter. My mother helped him cover it. And Dexter had killed them both. I watched my life go up in flames, then I followed the ashes straight to his territory. My plan was simple—get my sister out, get even.But the moon goddess had a fucking sense of humor.We were fated. Mates.The kind of cruel twist that would make anyone question destiny.Dexter didn’t know when I first got here

  • The Cruel Alpha Is My Mate   Chapter 50

    Dexter I wasn’t in the fucking mood for guests. Not today. Not when my mind was an overloaded mess and I couldn’t even finish a single damn thought without slamming into a wall called Aria. But the knock on my office door wasn’t the kind of tap you ignored. Sharp. Controlled. Entitled.Only one person knocked like that in this pack.“Come in,” I said, already bracing myself.The door opened, and sure enough, my mother stepped inside like she owned the goddamn air in the room. She didn’t wait to be invited, didn’t even glance around like she gave a fuck who might be in here. No. She walked with her usual quiet authority, long dress brushing the polished floor, her presence somehow managing to shift the entire room’s energy.I stood without thinking. It wasn’t out of fear. It was muscle memory. Respect. That was the only person on earth who ever got that from me without earning it.“You look like hell,” she said as she placed her clutch on the table. Her voice was sharp but smooth, lik

  • The Cruel Alpha Is My Mate   Chapter 49

    AriaI could feel it—the way the air had shifted between me and Dexter. It was not subtle either. It was no longer merely a shadow, an unending presence that annoyingly creeped into my life; it had finally become a force that I could not escape. The way his eyes lingered over me, the way his temper flared when my name was mentioned, kept me on edge in a way that I couldn't seem to shake off.It was as if he was watching me, yes, but he was also the fact that I couldn't do anything about it. I had tried to convince myself it was nothing—just a passing interest, a fluke—but deep down, I knew. I knew Dexter. I knew what happened when a man like him set his sights on someone. He didn’t let go easily.And then there was Sophia.For goddess's sake, she was a mess. I could see the panic in her eyes every time Dexter looked at me. I wasn’t stupid. It wasn’t just the casual glances anymore. There was something more beneath the surface, something darker. I could practically hear the wheels turn
