The Enemy Alpha's Beta | MM Romance | 18+ Chapter 31 : A Voice From Abroad
Ethan stared at the screen a second too long before finally sliding his thumb across it, rising from the chair and stepping quietly out into the corridor, the heavy door clicking shut softly behind him.He pressed the phone to his ear, his heart hammering against his ribs. "Hello?"There was a small delay, the faint hollow static of a call traveling across an ocean, and then a voice — familiar in a way that ached, older now, roughened by years and distance, but unmistakably his brother's."Ethan." A pause, heavy with something Ethan couldn't quite name yet. "It's me."Ethan's throat tightened instantly, old, complicated feelings rising up all at once — relief and resentment tangled so closely together he couldn't separate one from the other. He leaned back against the cool corridor wall, the fluorescent lights humming faintly overhead in the empty hallway."I know it's you," he said, quieter than he meant to. "I still recognize your voice. Even after — how long has it been now?""Too
The Enemy Alpha's Beta | MM Romance | 18+ Chapter 30 : The Hospital Chair
The chair beside his father's bed had gone stiff and unforgiving hours ago, but Ethan hadn't moved from it since the nurses changed shift at six.The room was quiet except for the steady, mechanical rhythm of the heart monitor, its soft green light casting faint, pulsing shadows across the wall — a rhythm Ethan had started counting without meaning to, the way he used to count his mother's footsteps on the stairs as a kid, listening for whether they were slow with exhaustion or fast with bad news.His father slept now, chest rising and falling in slow, even breaths, the color finally starting to return to his face after two days of looking like something already halfway gone. Ethan reached out and adjusted the blanket over his shoulder, an unnecessary gesture, the kind you did anyway because it gave your hands something to do besides shake.The window beside the bed had gone dark hours ago, the city lights outside blurring into a smear of orange and white a

The restaurant reopened faster than anyone expected, though the lingering scent of fresh plaster and harsh industrial paint couldn't entirely erase the ghost of crushed glass and cold terror.Ethan stood in the doorway on the first morning back, staring at the freshly painted walls, the new tables arranged in the exact same layout his father had insisted on for twenty years, the front window replaced without a single crack left to remind anyone of what had happened there. The morning light filtered through the clean glass, bright and unbothered, casting long shadows across the spotless floorboards. He turned slowly, taking it all in, and something in his chest tightened painfully, a slow, suffocating weight pressing against his ribs."This shouldn't have been possible," he said quietly, mostly to himself.His mother stood beside him, a stack of paperwork clutched tightly against her ribs, her eyes red-rimmed but dry now, exhaustion carved deep into every l
The Enemy Alpha's Beta | MM Romance | 18+ Chapter 28 : Answer
The question hung heavy between them, suffocating the space until Marcus felt his own pulse hammering against his ribs.He could feel Killian watching him—that sharp, predator’s gaze that used to dismantle opponents across boardroom tables, waiting with lethal patience for the first sign of a fracture."Why do I care?" Marcus repeated, forcing a short, jagged laugh out of his chest to slam the door shut before his voice could betray him. "Because I have a conscience, Killian. Not all of us need a personal stake to feel sick watching four grown men corner someone half their size."Killian’s eyes locked onto him, unblinking, heavy with a dangerous weight. "That's not an answer.""It's the only one you're getting." Marcus spun away, fixing his stare on the glass window. His own ghostlike reflection stared back, jaw clenched so tight it throbbed. "Don't turn this into something about me. This is about the monsters you keep on a leash."Killian burned a hole into the back of his neck for a

Killian didn't stand. He simply reached out, his fingers brushing the sleek surface of the intercom on his dark obsidian desk. He pressed it once, his gaze never once leaving Marcus's face."Reschedule the rest of my afternoon," Killian said, his voice smooth, commanding, and absolute. "My best friend is worth more than any corporate meeting on that calendar. Pick it back up tomorrow morning. Nobody argues with that."The intercom clicked off with a soft hum. Killian slowly folded his hands together over the desk, his full attention finally locking onto Marcus."Alright." Killian leaned back into his leather chair, a quiet challenge in his posture. "Talk."Marcus didn't take a seat. He stood dead in the center of the spacious, suffocating office, his broad shoulders squared and his fists clenched so tightly at his sides that his knuckles turned stark white. When he finally spoke, his voice came out lower than usual."You sent men to Ethan's restaurant this morning."Killian’s expressi

He steered Ethan firmly down onto the couch, sitting right beside him."Killian sent men to the restaurant this morning," Ethan whispered, his voice trembling. "They brought an official notice. Shut it down, or they'd shut it down for us by force." He swallowed hard, a fresh wave of panic choking him. "My dad... he couldn't take it. He collapsed right there on the floor. He's in the hospital right now because his heart couldn't handle the stress."Asher’s breath caught violently in his throat, his eyes going wide with horror. "Ethan—""And then I got a message," Ethan continued, pulling out his phone with hands that shook so badly he almost dropped it. He unlocked it and thrust the screen into Asher's face. "Straight from Killian."Asher read the glowing words. The last remaining color drained entirely from his face, leaving him looking like a corpse."I went back to the restaurant," Ethan said, his voice thinning out until it was barely audible. "There were four of them waiting insid
