Sunder was dead. It was good news to me because she had done her job excellently. A well-placed pawn can bring down a kingand she had brought me valuable information on Dominic Stone.
The second Alpha was a reclusive one which made it quite difficult to get a hold of him even though I had hi
Kieran"Why is an Omega here?"The First Clan Chief's voice cut through the room before any of them had even taken their seats, his gaze fixed on Sage with open disdain.I did not appreciate that. Not remotely."This Omega is not your concern, First Clan Chief," I said, my voice flat and final."This meeting is for members only," he pressed, undeterred. "And she is not a member.""She is with me, First Clan Chief." I let the casualness of my tone do the work that anger would have undermined. "You are, of course, free to leave if her presence troubles you so deeply."I had built my entire reign on a single operating principle: I would be the one needed, never the one needing. Black Crest required me far more than I required any single family's continued patronage, and every man in this room understood that math even when their pride made them reluctant to acknowledge it aloud."We mean no disrespect, Prince Dominic." The Third Clan Chief's voice was measured, the calmest of the seven b
DominicI could feel their resentment before I even crossed the threshold.It moved through the room the way heat moves through a building before you see the fire, a pressure against the skin, a tightening behind the eyes. I could see the entitlement on their faces, the particular arrogance of people who believed that simply outlasting a man's absence entitled them to a piece of whatever he'd built without him. I could see relief too, threaded through the resentment in a way that didn't quite cancel it out. Relief that I had returned. Resentment that I'd ever needed to leave.I cared for none of it.My return to Black Crest had stirred up exactly the mixture of reactions I'd expected, gratitude wrapped around grievance, deference wrapped around quiet fury. Here, my word was law, had been law for longer than most of the people in this room had been alive, and the only reason any of them dared show me their resentment openly was that they had spent years convincing themselves I had grow
Kieran."This his how it should be forever," Sia whispered in my ear as we lay down together.I was almost breathless as I stared at the ceiling for the seventh time. I had fucked her until she passed out and when she woke up we continued.She was totally under my control whenever she was horny but beyond that she was a fucking constant thorn in my flesh.I was still hungry for more cunt but not hers.Sia had gone stale. I hated the desperation that oozed out of her anytime we were together."Do not get used to it." I muttered and finally got off the large soft bed. I was bored of her body. "Too late," She replied coyly and winked at me.I walked to the bathroom and turned on the shower. The cold water blasted at me and jolted me active.I scrubbed at my body absent mindedly as my though drifted to Sage. My aching cock thrummed in a longing agony as I washed myself off Sia's stench.Bored of that too, I switched off the shower and got out of the bathroom.I found Sia still lounging l
DominicThat obnoxious scoff of hers, the one I had come, somewhat against my better judgment, to find almost endearing, escaped her throat again.She was going to stay. I had already decided that much, regardless of how she felt about the decision, regardless of the protests she would continue to mount in the meantime. I had not brought her this far, into this city, into the center of everything I had built and was still rebuilding, only to release her the moment the work proved difficult or her temper proved inconvenient. I had plans that involved her. Whether she consented to those plans was, for now, a separate question from whether they would proceed."What's stopping me from walking out of here right now?" she asked, chin lifted, daring me to answer honestly.I smiled. It was not a kind smile."The fact that you would leave a trail of torn-apart bodies behind you on the way out," I said. "You killed someone with connections tonight, Sage. Someone whose people are not the forgivi
DominicThe scene was still wet with blood when I arrived.Two werewolves, both dead, both dispatched with an efficiency that I found myself studying with something closer to admiration than horror. Sage stood at the edge of it, her clothes splattered dark, her expression caught somewhere between shock and the particular stillness that comes after a body has done something the mind hasn't fully processed yet.I had her walk me through what happened.She had defended herself. That was the only fact that mattered to me in any real sense, everything else was logistics, the kind of mess that money and influence and the right amount of fear could clean up by morning. Whoever had sent these two after her had made themselves my enemy the moment their blood hit my floor. I did not need to deliberate over that. The math resolved itself instantly, the way it always did when something belonging to me was threatened."I am more concerned with how bold this cabal has become," I told Argos, once Sag
Sage.I had not even walked far before my senses went into overdrive. I felt them before I saw them. An attack from my left. I evaded just in time to see a clawed and furry hand sail past me.“You should not have humiliated me,” Baldy with the bad tattoo growled.“You know I am Dominic’s guest, right?” I asked as I sized him up. “Well, your Dominic is not here to save you,” he sneered. I chuckled darkly. “No, I am actually worried for you,” I replied. “Tough talk, let see you back it up,” he growled and lunged at me.I marveled at how slow he was when he began to rain down blows that I could not only read but I could also predict. He fought like a child or maybe I was so powerful that it felt so effortless fighting him.I weaved out of his blows and saw many openings in his offense but I did not strike. I waited and stayed on the defensive. I threw myself into a back ward flip to create distance between us. “Stay still, you stupid bitch!” he yelled and threw more desperate and
