SOLANA

I'd dozed off in bed when the familiar smell of pine and something metallic flooded my nostrils. Elric. He was here. I gulped, gripping the sheets as I descended into a state of anxiety. Why was he here? To take me back?

I needed to know what was happening. And I couldn't do that if I stayed there in the room.

With my heart slamming hard against my ribs, I slipped out of the room and headed straight to my husband's study.

My footsteps faltered when I heard the familiar husky voice. Elric.

"...only for your own good, Roman. Solana will eventually be hunted by the Guard. I advise that you don't get a—"

He didn't finish his statement. A loud thud followed. Then, an angry growl rumbled in the air.

"I warned you, Elric. Didn't I? Solana is mine now. My wife. And if you do anything stupid, make sure you run as far as possible. Far enough that I won't be able to get to you. Because if I do, I will make sure to strip your bones of your flesh. And not even the vultures will fin

  • The Demon Alpha’s Kryptonite   Chapter 33

    SOLANA Curling my hands into fists, I took a steadying breath. My husband was a wreck. Somehow, I could tell that this was just his grief talking. He was hurting just as much as I was. I didn't give him a response, I moved towards him. My heart pounded faster with every step I took because he looked terrifying. But I'd already lost too much to let fear take him from me too.When I finally halted in front of him, I slowly wrapped my arms around him, resting my head on his chest. His heartbeat was erratic and wild.He sucked in a sharp breath, his body trembling against mine."Did you really think I would run away from you even in your darkest moments? Dream on, Roman," I said, a small smile tugging at my lips."Flower—""Shh, it's okay, dearest. Just let me hold you. I need this too," I rasped and slowly his arms eased around me.We both said nothing for a while, basking in the comfort of the moment."Between the both of us, I think you're the terrifying one," Roman finally sa

    SOLANA I didn't even realize the scream was mine until the taste of blood filled my mouth.Colors bled together, sound fading in and out. One moment I was standing behind Roman, my hand pressed to the little girl's back, feeling her tiny heartbeat against mine. The next, there was a crack that split the air apart, and then something struck me on the chest."Solana." My name sounded like it hurt him to say.I looked down first, because my mind refused to understand. The child in my arms was crying. She was safe, thank the goddess, but my dress was blooming crimson.The pain came a second later. A slow, crawling fire from my chest to my spine. My knees buckled. Roman caught me before I hit the ground."Stay with me," he rasped, wrapping one arm around me, the other pressed hard against the wound. I wanted to tell him not to worry, that it was fine, that I'd felt worse...except I hadn't. I never had.The children were screaming now. Someone was shouting orders. Was that Hawke? Tar

    SOLANA "A-alpha," the three women stuttered, dropping to their knees. The air rippled before I even saw him.My husband walked in with Hawke behind him. They both looked pissed."You should be ashamed of yourselves. One would think that the gray in your hair would make you wiser than a toddler, but apparently not," Roman said, and they whimpered."We—" one of them attempted to speak."Silence," Hawke spat, and they cowered instantly."Listen closely to what I have to say. The three of you will report to the Office of Correction. You will be punished for slandering your Luna. And when you're done, tell the others what happens to anyone foolish enough to do the same," my husband said, and Tara nudged me in the ribs, blushing with me."Off you go," Hawke hissed, and the three women scurried off like frightened mice.Roman's gaze softened when they met mine, and my heart jolted in my chest from the intensity. He walked up to me, reaching for my hand while Tara sneaked off to stan

    SOLANA Roman went utterly, terrifyingly still. My goodness, he was barely breathing. And for a single second, the entire room felt like it bowed to the violent surge of alpha aura pouring off him.Oh goddess.His hands grabbed my hips with such desperate force that a gasp tore from my throat. I wasn't afraid because I knew that this... this was the Roman who lived beneath the cold walls of his heart.He was untamed. Mine."Don't—" I started.It was too late.He flipped us, surprisingly still gentle.My back hit the bed, the sheets rippling beneath me as Roman hovered over my body. His chest rose and fell in heaves, his jaw clenched so tightly I could see a vein pulsing in his neck."Don't say things like that," he growled, his voice ragged. "Not when I'm already this close to losing myself."I smiled up at him, blinking innocently at him. "Why? You don't like it?"His eyes turned pitch black, and he slammed his hand beside my head, caging me in. "You don't understand," he snarled,

  • The Demon Alpha’s Kryptonite   Chapter 29

    ROMAN She was pregnant. I had been hoping for this but it still caught me off guard. To think that only a few months ago, I'd been unable to even get a woman pregnant... My heart was pounding so fast as my gaze roamed over my Luna's face. Nothing else mattered. Only her. Gods, she was carrying our pup in our womb. This was a miracle. I wanted to speak, but suddenly, I couldn't. All I felt was the strongest urge to protect and adore. So, I went down on my knees. She gasped in surprise but I couldn't even explain what was going on inside of me. I gently pressed a kiss to her belly, wrapping my arms around her. She chuckled, running her hands through my hair and relief swelled in my chest. Oh, how I'd missed that sound. "You really don't have to go on your knees," she giggled and my eyes grew wet. She didn't understand the magnitude of the gift she'd given me. "Come on, get up," she said, stroking my hair. Her tone was light. I could finally breathe. But I didn't want to mov

  • The Demon Alpha’s Kryptonite   Chapter 28

    SOLANA This was a trap. And the look on my husband's face told me he recognized it for what it was. Another knock sounded at the door and I flinched, my anxiety hitting the roof."Alpha, it's me, Zamora. I can help."I froze, my stomach twisting with unease. Slowly, Alpha Roman released me and my chest caved in. We both knew that the stakes were too high to be ignored. There was no hiding my true aura from the Guard, unless I didn't show up at all."I'm sorry, Solana," Alpha Roman said to me and I forced out a smile, rising to my feet. Tears pooled in my eyes as annoyance clawed at my insides. I wasn't a Luna my husband could be proud of. Why would the pack accept me?"Come in, Zamora," My alpha said and the door creaked open. Zamora hurried up to me, latching at my hand with false concern painted all over her face. Did she really think she could fool me with her ridiculous mask?"It is not my intention to steal your place, I need you to understand this. I'm only doing this t
