The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid Chapter 123: Meeting The Queen Again
"Because we're not trying to make you feel better," Aiden said bluntly. "We're trying to make you understand. If we wanted to lie, we'd tell you the bond makes infidelity impossible. We'd tell you we're biologically incapable of wanting anyone else. But that's not true. The truth is we could, theoretically, be with others. We're choosing not to. Because we don't want to.""Choice." Melina looked at him. "You're saying you're choosing me.""Yes." All three of them said it."Every day," Alaric continued. "Every moment. We're choosing you. Not because we have to. Because we want to.""But Stephanie....""Was convenient," Archer said. "Available. Willing. She served a purpose before we knew what you were to us. The moment we felt the bond, she became irrelevant. They all did.""And you didn't tell me about them.""No." Alaric's jaw tightened. "We didn't. Because we didn't think it mattered. Because they're in the past. Because we were trying to court you....to show you our present and our
The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid Chapter 122: How do I know that's true?
"No." All three of them said it simultaneously."You're our mate," Alaric continued. "That's not the same thing. That's permanent. Unchangeable. We're not going to get bored of you. We're not going to want others. The bond won't let us.""The bond." Melina laughed. It sounded broken. "The bond that you just admitted doesn't guarantee fidelity.""In theory it doesn't," Archer said. "In practice...for us...you're all we want. All we can think about. The idea of touching someone else feels physically repulsive now.""Now. But what about later? What about when the newness wears off? What about when I'm not enough anymore?""That won't happen," Aiden said."You can't know that.""Yes we can." Alaric moved closer. "Because the mate bond isn't just attraction. It's recognition. It's finding the person you're meant to be with. We found you. That doesn't change. That doesn't fade.""Stephanie didn't seem to think so.""Stephanie is bitter," Archer said bluntly. "She thought she had a permanent
The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid Chapter 121: Who Let You In?
"Really?" Stephanie tilted her head. "You don't care that I've been in all three of their beds? That I know exactly what they like? How they move? What makes them come?"Something twisted in Melina's chest. Sharp. Painful.Jealousy.The realization hit her like a physical blow.She was jealous."I've been here for years," Stephanie continued. Her voice was soft. Almost kind. "I've been their favorite. Their go-to. And now you show up with your mate bond and your special connection and suddenly I'm...what? Replaced?""I'm not trying to replace anyone....""Aren't you?" Stephanie's eyes were hard now. "You're living in their rooms. Eating with them. Working with them. Helping them through the curse. That's my role, sweetheart. That's what I've been doing for them for years. And now you're here and suddenly I don't get calls anymore. Suddenly I'm not welcome in their beds.""Stephanie." Archer moved forward. "You need to leave. Now.""Why? Because I'm telling her the truth?" Stephanie lo
The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid Chapter 120: Stephanie
Melina's POV - AfternoonShe was in the library when it happened.Reading. Actually reading. Not just pretending to research while her mind wandered. She'd found a book about supernatural law...about contracts and bonds and what constituted consent in situations involving power imbalances.Relevant reading.Aiden was across from her. Working quietly. The comfortable silence they'd fallen into over the past few days.Then his phone buzzed.He looked at it. His expression shifted."What's wrong?" Melina asked."Nothing. I just...I need to take this." He stood up. Walked to the far corner of the library. Spoke quietly into his phone.Melina went back to her book.Tried to go back to her book.But she could hear the tension in Aiden's voice. Could see the way his shoulders had gone rigid.He ended the call. Came back to the table."I need to go," he said. "Something's come up. You'll be okay here for a bit?""Yes. What's wrong?""Nothing you need to worry about." But his voice was tight.
The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid Chapter 119: Do you want to stay?
"I don't believe in fate.""Maybe you should." Clara's voice was gentle. "You came to that estate desperate. Planning something dangerous. And instead of punishing you or turning you away, they gave you work. Gave you purpose. Gave me the cure. That's not just luck. That's something more."Melina wanted to tell her. Wanted to explain about the mate bond. About the curse. About the full moon and the way her body had responded. About the way the bond pulled at her even now.But how could she explain something she barely understood herself?"They need me there," she said instead. "For specific reasons I can't fully explain. And I don't know if that's enough reason to stay.""Do you want to stay?" Clara asked again. "Forget about what they need. Forget about obligation or debt or any of that. Do you...Melina...want to stay there?"Did she?A week ago the answer would have been a clear no. She'd wanted to escape. Wanted her freedom. Wanted nothing to do with the men who'd trapped her.But
The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid Chapter 118: Visiting Her Mother
Melina's POVThe car was waiting when she came downstairs, And Aiden was leaning against the hood."Good morning," he said."Morning. I thought I was going alone?""You are. I'm just here to see you off." He opened the back door for her. "Marcus will drive you. He's discreet. Professional. And he knows to give you space with your mother. He'll wait in the car.""You're not coming?""Do you want me to come?"She thought about it. "No. I need to see her alone. Talk to her alone. Without...""Without us watching," he finished. "I understand. That's why we're sending Marcus instead of coming ourselves."She looked at the car. At the freedom it represented."I could just drive away," she said. Testing. "Tell Marcus to keep driving. Never come back.""You could." Aiden's voice was calm. "But you won't.""How do you know?""Because your mother is at St. Catherine's Medical Center receiving treatment that we're providing. Because the Vigil is still watching her. Because leaving would put her

Then he went to work.Methodical. Precise. His tongue moving in patterns that made her unable to form coherent thoughts. He wasn't rushed. Wasn't frantic. He was solving her like she was a problem that required his complete attention.And he was very good at solving problems.Her hands gripped the

He stood up. Came around the desk slowly. Every step deliberate. He stopped three feet away from her. Close enough that she could see the faint shadow of stubble on his jaw. Close enough that his presence filled the space between them."You look tired," Alaric said quietly."I'm fine.""You're not.
The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid Chapter 62: Close the door Sera
Melina's POVShe woke up sore.Not the kind of sore that came from overwork or a long shift. The specific kind that came from being taken hard on a cold floor by someone who knew exactly what they were doing and didn't ask permission first.Her thighs. Her hips where his hands had gripped. The tend
The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid Chapter 61: The Sex Plan
Archer's PovHe woke up on his own bed with his shirt half off and his hands still remembering the shape of her.The east corridor guest room floor was cold. He'd pulled her close afterward but she'd gone somewhere else in her head within minutes. He'd felt it happen....that specific shift where he
