The Lycan's daughter: His to ruin The weight of the cage
The Weight of the CageVanessa's POVThe limousine cabin felt like a descending iron press.The heavy leather seats absorbed the vibrations of the snow-packed highway, but they did nothing to muffle the venom dripping from Ronan’s tongue. He sat across from me in the dim light of the dashboard, his tuxedo jacket unbuttoned, his dark eyes glittering with a cold, sadistic satisfaction as he twirled an empty crystal whiskey glass between his fingers."You truly have a remarkable talent for public humiliation, Vanessa," Ronan began, his voice smooth, rhythmic, and laced with deliberate malice. "Walking away from my side in the middle of a Coalition gala to exchange lingering glances with the northern vanguard’s broken dog. The council elders spent the entire final hour whispering behind their napkins. They wondered if the Lycan royal family was experiencing a domestic fracture."I stared straight ahead through the tinted window, watching the dark, blurred shapes of the pine trees streak p
The Lycan's daughter: His to ruin Echo of a ghost
The Echo of a GhostAbel's POVThe shrill, metallic ring of the encrypted satellite phone cut through the pitch-black silence of my quarters like a rusty blade.I stood frozen in the center of the dark bedroom, my chest heaving, listening to the relentless, electronic pulsing vibrating against the wood of the nightstand. The green screen flashed a silent, mocking demand.My jaw locked so tight my teeth ached. With a sharp, violent motion, I reached out, snatched the device off the table, and hit accept before my human logic could talk me out of it."Speak," I barked, my voice dropping into a low, gravelly alpha snarl that vibrated off the bare walls.For a second, there was only static and the sound of soft, slow breathing on the other end. Then, a low, melodic laugh slipped through the speaker—a sound I would know anywhere."You sound tense, Abel," Lisa murmured, her voice dripping with an effortless, maddening seduction. "Were you waiting for me to call? Or were you just pacing your
The Lycan's daughter: His to ruin The ghost in the system
The Ghost in the System(Abel's POV)My neck felt like it had been fused together with rusted iron.When I finally blinked my eyes open, the pale, sickly light of morning was bleeding sideways through the heavy window blinds of my private office. I had slumped forward sometime before dawn, passing out right there in the stiff leather desk chair with my arms crossed over the mahogany wood. Every single joint in my body locked up with a sharp, blinding protest as I straightened. A dull, throbbing migraine hammered against my temples, and my lower back burned with a searing, knife-twist ache from the terrible posture.I sat there for a long minute, staring blankly at the half-empty bottle of whiskey sitting amid a scatter of unread vanguard reports.Groaning low in my throat, I pushed myself up, grabbing my wooden cane to steady the tremor in my legs, and dragged my dead weight toward the adjoining washroom. I didn't bother turning on the lights. I stripped off the stiff, sweat-stained w
The Lycan's daughter: His to ruin Bottom of the glass
The Bottom of the Glass(Abel's POV)The private lounge in the Silverfang vanguard quarters smelled like stale pipe tobacco, cold ash, and heavy oak, but the air still felt too thin to breathe.I sat alone at the scarred wooden table in the corner, the amber liquid in my heavy crystal glass sloshing as my hand trembled slightly. The rest of the hall had long since cleared out, leaving only the low, dying crackle of the hearth fire to break the heavy silence of the night.I threw the whiskey back, letting the burn tear a raw path down my throat, but it didn't numb the static screaming inside my head.Lisa.The name felt like glass in my mouth. She shouldn't have been there. She was supposed to be miles away in the southern dust, living out whatever miserable existence she had chosen after walking away from the altar on August 21st. Yet, her scent—synthetic vanilla and burnt amber—was still clinging to the lining of my coat like a curse.My jaw ached from how hard I had been clenching i
The Lycan's daughter: His to ruin Scent of Ash
I Vanessa's POVThe hallway air felt heavy enough to choke on.I stood under the harsh, amber glare of the wall sconce, the heavy silk of my emerald gown rustling against the granite floor as I stared straight into Abel's face. The tight, unnatural set of his jaw, the violent rise and fall of his broad chest beneath his military tunic, and the stark, sickly gray of his skin didn't look like exhaustion. They looked like a man who had just taken a knife to the gut and was trying not to bleed out on the floor.'He is hiding something,' my wolf muttered, her voice cold and pacing in the dark corners of my mind. 'He smells like cold sweat and old blood. Something broke inside that washroom.'"Abel," I said, my voice dropping into a sharp, demanding register as I took a half-step closer to him. "Do not lie to me. You look like you've just stared straight into the face of a corpse. What happened in there?"Abel’s amber-gold eyes flickered. A raw, jagged flash of devastation cut across his f
The Lycan's daughter: His to ruin Ghost in the mirror
The Ghost in the MirrorAbel's POVThe air in the sterile, marble-tiled washroom felt like lead.My jaw was completely unhinged, hanging slack as I stared at the face standing under the flickering wall sconce. The heavy dark traveler's cloak pooled around her boots, but the face was unmistakable.Lisa.My chest seized. A violent, suffocating panic surged up my throat, warring instantly with an agonizing, phantom ache that I had spent years trying to cauterize with whiskey and war. It was the face of the woman who had walked down the aisle in a shroud of black velvet, ripped my heart out in front of the entire high council, and left me bleeding on the altar.She’s dead, my mind screamed, scrambling to make sense of the nightmare. She fled with Pedro to the outer territories years ago. She shouldn't be here.Before my human mind could process the impossibility of it, my wolf completely hijacked my body.He didn't care about the betrayal. He didn't care about the humiliation, the public
