"Nothing about this is simple."

"No," Alaric agreed. "It's not. But the choice is. Sign and your mother lives. Refuse and she dies. Everything else is just details."

She looked at the contract on the desk.

Seven pages. Legal language. A cage disguised as employment.

But her mother's life was in those pages.

"I need time to think," she said.

"You have three minutes," Alaric said. "After that the offer expires."

"That's not enough time...."

"It's the time you have." He looked at his watch. "Three

    "Nothing about this is simple.""No," Alaric agreed. "It's not. But the choice is. Sign and your mother lives. Refuse and she dies. Everything else is just details."She looked at the contract on the desk.Seven pages. Legal language. A cage disguised as employment.But her mother's life was in those pages."I need time to think," she said."You have three minutes," Alaric said. "After that the offer expires.""That's not enough time....""It's the time you have." He looked at his watch. "Three minutes starting now."She wanted to scream. Wanted to run. Wanted to tear the contract into pieces and throw it in his face.But her mother's voice was in her head.I miss you, baby. So much.Weaker every day. Running out of time.Three weeks. Maybe four.Unless she signed this contract.Unless she gave these men exactly what they wanted.Her freedom. Her choices. Her life.In exchange for her mother's.She walked to the desk on shaking legs.Picked up the contract.Read through it one more ti

  • The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid   Chapter 90: You Know My Father?

    Melina's POVThe room was too quiet.Three men. Three sets of eyes. All of them on her.Alaric standing in the center like a judge pronouncing sentence. Aiden by the window, arms crossed, expression unreadable. Archer in the chair, leg no longer bouncing, completely still.And her real name hanging in the air between them like an accusation.Melina."How long have you known?" Her voice came out steadier than she felt."Since before you arrived," Alaric said. His silver eyes were cold. Calm. "Your application was flagged immediately. False identity. Constructed background. We ran the biometric cross-reference and found your real name within hours."Her stomach dropped. "Then why....""Why did we hire you anyway?" Alaric's mouth curved slightly. Not a smile. Something colder. "Because we wanted to see what you'd do. Wanted to watch you plan. Wanted to understand exactly why Cain Voss's daughter would walk into our estate with a fake name and desperation all over her face."She couldn't

  • The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid   Chapter 89: The Confrontation

    Archer's POV - 4 PMArcher was in the gym.Hitting the heavy bag with more force than necessary. Working off energy that had nowhere else to go.He'd been restless for days. Since the moment Grandfather confirmed she was ready. Since the moment Alaric said "Tonight. We do this tonight."Tonight.The word sat in his chest like a weight.Tonight they'd tell her everything. Show her the contract. Make her choose between her mother's life and her freedom.It wasn't a fair choice. Wasn't even really a choice.But it was the only way to keep her.His phone buzzed. He ignored it. Hit the bag harder.It buzzed again.He pulled it out. Alaric.Alaric: Where are you?Archer: Gym.Alaric: Come to my office. Now.Archer grabbed his towel. Headed upstairs.***Alaric's office was too quiet when Archer arrived.Both his brothers were there. Alaric at the window. Aiden at the desk."What's wrong?" Archer asked."Nothing's wrong." Alaric turned from the window. "I wanted to make sure we're all clear

  • The Royal Alphas’ Captive Maid   Chapter 88: The Preparation

    Alaric's POV - 2 PMThe contract sat on Alaric's desk like a weapon.Seven pages. Carefully worded. Legally binding. Every clause designed to keep her exactly where they needed her.Where they wanted her.Alaric read through it one more time. Not because he needed to, he'd memorized every word.....but because precision mattered. Details mattered.One oversight and she'd find a loophole. One vague clause and she'd slip through their fingers.He wouldn't allow that.His door opened. Aiden came in first. Then Archer. Neither knocked anymore. Not when it was just the three of them."Lucy has the message ready," Aiden said. He sat in the chair across from the desk. "She'll deliver it at five PM exactly. 'Alpha Alaric requests your presence in his private quarters at six PM.'""She'll ask which quarters," Archer said. He was pacing already. That restless energy that never quite settled. "She'll want to know if it's your office or your room.""Lucy will tell her to come to my room," Alaric s

    Melina's POVShe was working in the east wing when Lucy found her."Sera!" Lucy's cheerful voice echoed down the corridor. "There you are!"Melina turned. "What's wrong?""Nothing's wrong! Alpha Aiden just wanted me to tell you that you're off duty for the rest of the day.""What? Why?"Lucy shrugged. "He didn't say. Just said you've been working too hard and you deserve a break. So go rest! Read a book! Do something nice for yourself!"She bounced away before Melina could respond.Melina stood in the corridor confused.Aiden was giving her the afternoon off. Without explanation. Without being asked.She should have been suspicious. Should have wondered what he wanted. What any of them wanted.But she was too full of hope to be suspicious.Too full of relief to question kindness.She went to her room. Actually rested. Read a book. Took a long bath.Let herself feel something other than fear for the first time in months.***She went to the stables one last time.This was it. The day E

    "Aren't they?" Alaric moved to his desk. Sat down. "She was willing to do anything to save someone she loves. We're willing to do anything to keep someone we love. The methods are different. The desperation is the same."The room was quiet for a moment."Three days," Archer said finally. "What do we do for three days?""We watch her," Alaric said. "We let her have hope. We let her be light for the first time. We let her think everything is going to be simple and easy and fine.""And then?""And then we show her the contract. And we find out if she loves her mother more than she hates us."****Day Two - MorningMelina's POVShe went to the stables again.Couldn't help herself. Needed to see Edmund. Needed to hear him confirm that yesterday wasn't a dream.He was there. With Silver. Brushing her coat in those same steady strokes.He looked up when she entered. Smiled."Right on time," he said."I couldn't sleep." She came to stand beside the stall. "I kept thinking I imagined yesterday
