HERMES

Needless to say, she shoved me just when my fingers grazed her hips, muttered something about needing air, and stormed off to the bathroom.

She hadn't come out of her room ever since.

“Alpha Kane's desperation has doubled since Ezra's gammas infiltrated his pack,” Adonis reported dropping a file at my desk. “Doubled his offer; it's about time you look at it. It's a great profit.”

I looked up from the papers I had been going through before he walked in, but if I were to be honest, I could barely see a word.

Stuck on the same line for the past hour, struggling to keep my mind busy so it wasn't circling back on her…

But that was futile.

She had changed so much. Don't get me wrong, Ana had always been beautiful

Poker-faced beautiful in that pressed lips in disappointment whenever you crossed a line way. An expression, I had always been a victim of.

Now, she was fuller in the right places, still intimidating in how she stared and rebuked but the difference was glaring.

  • The Hound Alpha's Omega    Chapter 23

    My body burned—need turning to agony, agony into anticipation for relief that wouldn’t come.“No one makes me this mad and lives after the first time.” Roman’s voice was a low growl as he closed in, crouching until he filled my vision. “But you’ve always been… a different breed.”The haze pressed heavy, choking my senses. My body didn’t feel like mine anymore.I tried to shove him away, scramble toward the door—but his fist tangled in my hair, yanking me back. A heartbeat later, his hand clamped around my throat, fingers pressing just enough for my pulse to hammer frantically against his grip.“You’re a bad liar,” he murmured darkly. “That bastard’s scent is all over you.” His hold tightened. “Maybe I should mark you—make sure there’s no confusion. Hm?”Fear spiked in my chest. “No… don’t—”“I’m done begging, Stasia.”No. If he marked me, the pain it would cause Hermes would be unbearable—worse than tearing the bond apart entirely. My fingers spread weakly against Roman’s chest, but I

    The debauchery room lived up to its name.The low gold light wasn’t enough to hide the incessant lust on the red velvet lounges or the moans and grunts that had only reduced once the meeting kicked off.Roman sat stretched out like he owned the place, one arm draped across the couch, the other idly tracing the rim of a glass he wasn’t drinking from.I sat beside him because I had no choice.He wasn’t even looking at the dancers. His attention was fixed on the glass wall at the far end, where the ongoing meeting was visible.Or rather… on Hermes, who sat so still the other men looked uncomfortable.Thirty minutes ago, Adonis and Adolf had come to my rescue, whispering something in Hermes' ear, and like a miracle, Hermes had walked past us into the sitting room without another word.Now Roman caught my eye, then followed my line of sight back to Hermes, his lips curling.“Careful, princess.” His murmur scraped down my spine. “He keeps staring at you like that, I might start to think I’m

    "...and I said no," Roman repeated. "You haven’t gone deaf, have you?"My breath caught as I stood at the counter, slicing tomatoes. The knife slipped from my hand, clattering against the cutting board. I glared at him. "You can’t leave Viktor in there. He did nothing to you."Roman smirked from across the kitchen countertop, tossing a slice of kiwi into his mouth and shaking his head.He’d been hostile and cold since I woke up, his mood a trigger over my already fraying nerves. The heat burned within me, a relentless fire in my bones, and I didn’t need his attitude making it worse.He knew. The heavy air around me was impossible to ignore, and it only seemed to fuel his anger.Roman hadn’t left last night. I’d walked in this morning to find him sprawled on my couch, staring at the ceiling. I was shocked he hadn’t trashed my place in his rage.I wondered if he’d heard my whimpers in the night, but I was too scared to ask, too afraid of what might come of it."Roman, you can’t just—"

    I shut my eyes, clinging to the faint hope that maybe she didn’t know. Maybe she only found out when he returned to Eviscera.But my instincts knew better.If Hermes was telling the truth, Skylar had kept it from her mother too.I wanted to scream at her through the phone, to unleash the betrayal burning in my chest—but I couldn’t. What right did I have? I was sleeping with her brother behind her back. What sin was worse than that?Besides, Skylar owed me nothing. What gave me the right to rage over her lies?Still—Seven years ago, her voice had cracked with grief when she called about Hermes’s disappearance. Had that been a lie too?“Oh, that…” Skylar’s voice snapped me back. “Just a neighborhood gardener. Who’d you think it was?” She laughed teasingly. “Your rebound, Beta?”Goddess, she was good.“Yeah.” I sank onto the sofa, staring at the ceiling. “Thought it was *your* rebound.”“Pfft. Don’t hold your breath.”We said our goodbyes, and the call ended. What was I even doing? I s

    Link’s voice was wet and snarly as he spat blood onto the floor, staggering back groaning. “Lunatic! You’re fired, you hear me? Get the hell out and never come back!” Viktor laughed. “Fired?” He wrenched his arms free from security, his voice dripping with rage. “I quit, you son of a—” He cut himself off, jaw clenching so hard I heard teeth crack.The security guards tensed but didn’t touch him again, their bodies shielding Link this time. Viktor took a slow step forward. “Anastasia built this firm with Kate. Every drop of blood, every ounce of sweat—she poured it into these walls. And you dare speak to her like she’s nothing?” Link wiped his mouth, smearing red across his chin. “Oh fuck your white Knighting, she's still not gonna fuck—l.”Viktor surged forward before security could react. He grabbed Link by the collar, hauling him up until their faces were inches apart. “Listen to me, you entitled little shit. You didn’t earn this. You didn’t fight for it. You were handed it

    ANASTASIABloodmoon was busier than usual, crawling with military patrols manning checkpoints. As I drove through the crowded streets, a grim thought settled in my chest—*Please, let this not be the start of a war.*I stared out the window as I drove, under the darkened sky. Ten in the morning, and it looked like 5 p.m. The air smelled like incoming rain and I loved it.The perfect welcome after days off work It'd been three days since I woke up alone in Hermes’ bed, since Adolf, nervously mumbled about Hermes’ sudden trip. Three days, and his phone still wouldn’t connect.Was he okay? Or was his silence another one of his tricks, waiting to slam into me when I least expected it? I wanted to believe he was fine—too cunning to get caught off guard. But the thought of him wounded, waiting for help I couldn’t give, twisted my gut.My cheeks burned. That little mutt. I hated that my knees went weak when memories of that night flooded back. Hated how my skin still tingled, throbbing
