Chapter 9 Cold
LUCIAN
The pathetic mutt bit me. ME! I can't remember the last time someone landed such a devastating blow to my body. Ruben and Kohn grab him as I recover and the sight of them pinning him makes me grin.
I'm going to enjoy ripping his puny intestines out, especially since I can still smell his desire for my mate over the blood from our brief fight. But before I can reach my prey, my dark-haired little mouse bolts in front of him with her arms out. Which stops me dead in my tracks.
Shock, anger, and jealousy roll through my body as I watch the female that is supposed to be mine defend another. She should be happy to see me! She shouldn't be protecting the packless wolf. He is weak. She should be throwing herself into my arms and kissing me with those perfect lips.
"Please don't. If you let him live, I will never try to escape again.....If you kill him, I will try every chance I get

The Human Chapter 10 Mortified
AMBERI've been awake for at least an hour now, and the fact that the monster hasn't spoken or even acknowledged me is unsettling. He has just been sitting in his chair by the window drinking. His eyes haven't shifted to me once, and I know that for a fact because my fear won't let me take my eyes off of him.I want to ask about Thatcher and my father, but I'm too scared to learn the truth. Plus, opening my mouth at all might make him focus his attention on me....and that's the last thing I want.Finally, he moves to stand, and my body, of course, tenses. He places his glass of liquor down on a small round side table before facing me."For the next five minutes, you are to listen to my every word. If you don't, there will be consequences. Do you understand," he growls, and I nod my head."Answer me by saying Yes, Alpha or No, Alpha," he growls, and I swallow the spit that
The Human Chapter 11 Horror
LUCIAN (R-rated) Trigger Warning I growl again as I pace outside my spare closet that now houses my mate. Her sobs haven't stopped since she has been in there, and guilt is tearing me apart. A tiny sliver of me is happy I hurt her, while the other part....the bigger part of me, feels physically ill. Watching her break wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be, and Kohn's constant glances of disbelief made me feel like crap. Towards the end of her torture, I had wanted to scoop her up and rock her. I had wanted to beg for forgiveness, but I had held firm by picturing Lucifer smiling. I grab my hair and pull it before heading for the whiskey I was sipping earlier. I need to distract myself from her pain. I need to focus on my own. I grab my glass and toss back its contents. I swore revenge. I promised it while holding my brother's body, so no matter how tempting my little mouse is,
The Human Chapter 12 Regret
LUCIAN POV "She heard me put Jolene in her place," I growl as soon as Kohn finishes reading our refineries report. "How did you put her in her place," Kohn immediately asks, and I lean back in my chair while sighing. "Jolene showed me disrespect, and I rutted her to put her back in her place," I snarl, and Kohn falls into my other office chair. He groans while shaking his head. "You have a mate now, Lucian. Rutting to show dominance isn't an option for you anymore," Kohn says as if he is talking to a teenage pup. I growl to show my displeasure, but even to my ears, the growl sounds weak. "It's how I have always kept the of age females in line. But after the anger faded and my instincts vanished, all I could focus on was her crying.....Why the fuck did I get a human,"
The Human Chapter 13 Origins
AMBER POV "Why hasn't she woken up? The healer left over an hour ago. She needs to wake up, Kohn. I am seconds away from going on a rampage," The monster snarls, and my brain immediately responds by becoming scared. All my senses go on full alert, and I do a quick evaluation of my body while they talk. I mentally focus on each part of myself from my feet up. The only thing I can find wrong is my head. It hurts, especially in the back. I must have fallen when I fainted. "She is weak, Lucian. He said it looks like she hasn't eaten in about three days...pair that with the blood loss, concussion, and stress..... Wait, you hear that," the guy named Kohn asks, and I go cold. "Yes! Little mouse, open your eyes," the monster orders, and I immediately want to shout no. I want to shake my head and stick out my tongue, but instead, I comply.
The Human Chapter 14 Announcing
LUCIAN POV ( rated R) How fucking dare she talk to me like that. First, she calls me a monster, and then she blatantly refuses to eat? She must have a death wish. "Ruben," I call, and feet sound on the floor below. He runs up the stairs quickly, and I look him over. He reeks of the servant, Dany, but I don't comment. Now that I know my third's story, I feel ashamed I hurt the girl... A feeling that is becoming more and more frequent now that I have Amber. "Gather everyone. I have an announcement to make," I order, and he nods his head before spinning on his heel. Irritation is coursing through me as Amber's face remains the focal point in my mind. She has found a weak point in my armor, that's for sure. How do I force a human to eat? I need her healthy...she is my mate. I hate seeing h
The Human Chapter 15 Exploring
AMBER POV"Ready to explore," Kohn asks, and I shrug.I honestly don't have the energy to be excited. Last night in the shower, I had drunk a good amount of water, but that is all I have been able to force down since my cannibalistic dinner."Well, I am. First, I am going to walk you through the house. Make sure to keep your eyes up. Last night Alpha announced you as his mate, so every wolf you see will be judging you. They know you are physically weak, so try to intimidate them with your attitude," Kohn says, and my eyebrows lift to show him my surprise.He nods in understanding before responding."I think he did it because he agreed to let you out today. He didn't want you walking around unprotected, and he probably didn't want everyone wondering why you were receiving a special tour," Kohn explains. I nod again, but this time in understanding."Why aren
The Human Chapter 16 Choked
LUCIAN POV "You can put me down," Amber whispers, and I accidentally growl. She flinches, and I sigh as I reach our room. "Sorry," I mumble, and she stiffens even more. "It's okay," she whispers, and I barely manage to hold back my grin. Her voice is so light now. Not like it was downstairs when she was defending that whore of a wolf. I get the door open easily since Amber weighs even less than when she first arrived. I set her on my bed and head for my closet without saying a word. I need to get on clothes before I try to sort through the mess going on in my head. First, I need to decide what I'm going to say to Amber, and then I need to decide what I'm going to do with Jolene. Her injuries are extension, but since I didn't reach her heart, she should recover.
The Human Chapter 17 Surprise
AMBER POV"How you doing," Kohn asks as he sits down next to my spot on the floor.I shrug. I don't really know how to feel. It's been a few days since Lucian choked me so hard he had to bring in a real doctor. For the most part, he has been MIA, so my fear has dropped a little. But I can't seem to erase the wild look in his eyes from my mind. I see it when I sleep. I see it when I shower. I even see it when I try to drink the cold soup the servants now serve me."That's understandable. I...well, I came by to check on you and see if you were up to finishing your tour. Jolene and Tabitha are gone, so no one should bother you," Kohn says, and my eyes widen as I remember the conversation that led to my swollen vocal cords."D..id you cut...them," I manage to rasp out, and he nods."I know it doesn't make sense in modern times, but when that tradition started, there weren't ce
