Melina's POV

She made it through breakfast by not going to breakfast.

Six AM came and went. She stayed in her room with the door locked and her back pressed against it listening for footsteps in the corridor that never came.

Aiden didn't come looking for her.

That should have been a relief.

It felt like abandonment instead.

She sat on the edge of her bed at seven AM staring at nothing. Her body ached in places that reminded her exactly what had happened last night. The tender soreness between h

  • The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid   Chapter 98: Your mate? What does that mean?

    "He wasn't lying.""Yes he was...""He cares about you. Genuinely cares. That wasn't a lie." Archer kept brushing. Steady. Rhythmic. "He just also had an agenda. Both things can be true at once.""I don't understand how you can separate those things. How you can care about someone and manipulate them at the same time.""Because caring about someone doesn't mean letting them hurt themselves. Sometimes it means making hard choices for them. Choices they can't make for themselves.""I didn't need you to make choices for me.""Yes you did." He set the brush down. Turned to face her. "You were three days from attempting to steal from us. Three days from getting caught by security. Three days from being arrested or worse. We saved you from that.""By trapping me instead.""By giving you another option." He touched her face gently. "Your mother is alive because of us. Healthy. Cured. You couldn't have done that alone.""I could have tried....""And you would have failed. And your mother woul

"Absolutely not.""Sit down," Alaric said behind her."I'm not having breakfast with you. With any of you.""Yes you are." Alaric guided her to the chair. Not roughly. Just firmly. "Sit."She sat. Because she didn't have a choice.Aiden brought the food. Eggs. Toast. Fruit. Coffee.Set a plate in front of her.She didn't touch it."Eat," Alaric said quietly."I'm not hungry.""Eat anyway.""You can't force me to eat.""Yes I can." Alaric picked up her fork. Put it in her hand. "Eat. Or I'll feed you myself."She looked at him. Saw he meant it.Picked up a piece of toast. Took a small bite. Chewed mechanically.Aide

    Clara was crying now. Melina could hear it."I don't want you to sacrifice yourself for me," Clara said. "I don't want you to give up your life to save mine.""It's already done, Mom. The treatment is administered. You're going to recover. There's no going back now.""Then come see me. Please. Come to the hospital. Let me see that you're okay.""I can't. Not yet. I'm... working. For the family that provided the treatment. I have obligations now.""What kind of obligations?""The kind that mean I can't leave right now." Melina's voice was steady now. She'd found the lie and it fit perfectly. "But I'm okay, Mom. I promise. I'm safe. I'm taken care of. And you're going to live. That's all that matters.""I love you so much, baby.""I love you too, Mom." Melina's voice cracked. "Get better. Rest. Let the treatment work. I'll come see you as soon as I can.""Promise me you're okay.""I promise."It was the first lie she'd told her mother in years.She ended the call.Set the phone down.La

    "I remember," Clara whispered. "I was so sick. The doctors said there was nothing they could do. And then Cain came home with this treatment. This miracle. He said a friend had helped him get it. He never told me who.""It was my family." Edmund's voice was quiet. "And Cain paid for that help with his life."Clara's eyes filled with tears. "The car accident.""Wasn't an accident." Edmund looked at his hands. "The organization Cain was gathering intelligence about....the Vigil...they found out he was feeding information to us. They killed him for it. And I've carried that guilt ever since.""Oh god." Clara pressed her hand over her mouth. "Melina doesn't know. She thinks....""She thinks it was an accident. And perhaps it's better that way." Edmund looked at her. "Some truths are too heavy to carry.""Why are you telling me this?""Because you deserve to know why I'm helping your daughter now. Why I'm giving you this treatment freely." He gestured to the vial. "I owe your family a debt

  • The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid   Chapter 94: The Morning After

    Melina's POVShe woke up in pieces.That's what it felt like. Like her body had been taken apart and put back together wrong.Everything ached. Her thighs. Her hips. Between her legs. Her jaw. Her wrists where someone had held them....she couldn't remember who anymore. Couldn't remember which brother had done what. It had all blurred together into one endless claiming.She opened her eyes slowly.Alaric's room. She was in Alaric's bed.The space beside her was empty but still warm. Someone had been there recently.She sat up carefully. The sheets fell to her waist. She was naked.Memories crashed back.The contract. The reveal. The way they'd trapped her. Forced her to choose between her mother's life and her freedom.The way she'd signed anyway.The way they'd taken her afterward. All three of them. Relentless. Thorough. Until she couldn't think anymore.She pressed her hands against her face.What had she done?What had she become?The bathroom door opened.Aiden came out. Dressed.

    She came hard. Her body clamping around him. Her nails digging into his shoulders.He groaned. Let her work through it. Then lifted her off him."What..."He turned her around. Positioned her reverse cowgirl. Her back to his chest."Keep moving," he commanded. Guided her down onto him from behind.This angle was deeper. More intense. She could feel everything.His hand wrapped around her throat from behind. Not squeezing. Just holding. A reminder of who was in control.His other hand went to her clit."One more," he said against her ear. "Give me one more and then I'll let you rest.""I can't...""Yes you can." His fingers circled her clit. His hips thrust up into her from below. "You're going to come for me one more time. And you're going to scream my name when you do."He worked her relentlessly. No mercy. No gentleness.Just pure possession.When the third orgasm hit her, she did exactly what he said.Screamed his name.He came inside her with a groan. Filling her the way Alaric ha
