My steps wavered as a frown slowly etched itself between my brows, the smile I wore earlier, fading off with the gentle breeze of the evening as the words dropped from her lips.

The downgrading way she referred to me washed off every ounce of politeness I once had in me.

Thing?

She called me—a thing?

Before I could say anything, her voice came up again, cold, biting. “You don't have to introduce yourself. I know who you are already— the one pining for the position of a Luna,” she said, voice dripping with disgust as she stared at me from my bare feet to the loose dress I had on. The smile on her face became a sneer.

I felt a sting at her tone, but pushed it aside. “I’m sorry but I didn’t catch your name,” I said, still trying to be polite and respectful.

Her lips curved into a mocking smile. “That’s because you’re not worthy enough to know what it is.”

My chest tightened. "I beg your pardon," I said, the words leaving my lips before I could even open my mouth. The air of gentleness I o

  • The Supreme Alpha's Vengeful Mate   Chapter 22: I Don't Care About Kieran

    Sarah.I gripped the table in the office, inhaling deeply to calm down, and slowly —a smirk curled up the corner of my lips.Rubyrose's expression as she heard me mention the kiss was more satisfying than I imagined it to be.I had seen her there through the slightly open door, about to walk past and so I quickly brought up the kiss—thanks to my smart wolf—Lymph."I knew hearing about the kiss would break her. Did you see the way she froze?" Lymph's voice broke out in a cunny cackle and I felt my smirk widen."Good one, Lymph, and just as expected, she left before Kieran could clear the air." I chuckled darkly, reliving the look on her face.I would pay a thousand gold to see that pained look blow up her face again.And at that moment it clicked—Kieran's words to me. 'I'm warning you, Sarah. You'll show my mate respect. I repeat, starting now, every responsibility you hold would be handed to her' And just like that—like fuel added to a quenching fire, I felt the already dissipating

  • The Supreme Alpha's Vengeful Mate   Chapter 21: Over My Dead Body

    Kieran sat gently on the dark swivel chair of his home office. He was lost in thought. His fingers were intertwined, elbows resting on his large glass table.His brows were slightly furrowed, his lashes lowered as his gaze was fixed with pure uncertainty on the system in front of him.He kept staring at the open document displayed on the screen of his laptop but his mind wasn't there—it was on the last comment Rubyrose made.How about we wait till the night of the Luna ceremony?“Darnmit!” He growled, taking off his mask as he massaged his temples, running a finger to soothe the crease between his brows.Eros stirred restlessly, pacing inside him like a storm that could barely be contained.“You made a mistake, Kieran,” Eros snapped. “What were you thinking when you said we’ll claim her on the next full moon. That’s too far away. I can’t wait that long.”Kieran groaned softly, dragging a hand through his hair. “You think I don’t know that? When I made that statement, I didn't know I w

  • The Supreme Alpha's Vengeful Mate   Chapter 20: Stormhowl Pack — Max's Office

    “Argggghh!!!” I growled in fury, emptying my desk of its contents as I pushed away the files and system sitting on it. The loud clattering sound echoing in the once calm office, pieces of paper flying across the room.Samantha, my beta, flinched at the loud noise, her gaze betraying how worried she was. But I didn't give a damn—I was mad.My breaths pulsed out of my nostrils heavily, rage coloring my face, my chest heaved up and down and my palms curled into a fist. All I could feel was my soul drowning in hate and frustration. I hated that darn bastard. I hated him so much. He wanted my pack, and now my woman?Never!Another loud growl escaped my lips as I recalled the way he had kissed her—the arrogant way he had possessed her."Fuckkk!" I cursed heavily, picking up the vase beside me, I hauled it hard across the room. It hit the wall, shattering to pieces. A broken shard cut across Samantha's arm.I heard her sharp intake of breath but I didn't spare her a second glance. “Max for

  • The Supreme Alpha's Vengeful Mate   Chapter 19: In His Bed

    Rubyrose "Ruby," His voice came out rough, low, yet gentle. I lifted my eyes to meet his gaze. I swallowed hard, seeing the intense desire burning in them. "You really want me to tell you that?" His voice dropped to a whisper, his right hand coming to the side of my face, he tugged my hair gently to the back of my ears. I could literally hear the beating of my heart.He was close—too close.His expression was calm, his gaze soft, yet desire was rigid in his eyes, standing there like his organ of sight, and gazing down at me.My heart skipped a beat, at his words. Raw and unbidden, I trembled, the yearn in his gaze and the gentle slides of his fingertips against my skin was burning. I felt heat crawl beneath my skin, and my thighs tingled at the effect of his proximity, I shut them close. Gulping. I didn't understand what was going on. Something stronger than me was pulling at me. I couldn't resist. Somehow I found myself, slicking my arms around his neck and pulling him closer. The

  • The Supreme Alpha's Vengeful Mate   Chapter 18: Burn Mark

    Rubyrose.Walking over to check out his arm, I had expected to see a thick stash of a burn mark as I lifted his sleeves, but his darkly inked arm was clean.My gaze turned confusing, my brows creasing as I studied the arm like it was a hard calculation.There was no way in hell he was poured hot tea and his skin would still remain this clean—unharmed as it was now. If it weren't for the stain on his white jacket, no one probably would have believed burning hot tea was poured on him. My eyes widened in disbelief as I lifted my head to meet his gaze. His expression was calm but there was obvious worry laced in his eyes. "What's wrong... What's with the look, Ruby?" He asked softly, his voice, having that gentle sweetness that made my heart tingle. "Your arm —there's... there's no burn mark on your arm." I pointed at it and his eyes followed my fingers to his clean arm. At first he was confused and then slowly realization dawned in his eyes. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips—

  • The Supreme Alpha's Vengeful Mate   Chapter 17: Your Arm

    Kieran.I stepped out of my car, and walked into the pack house. Rolls of bursting energy surged through me like blood in my veins.I was back from my moment of hibernation and as always, my strength felt refreshed like never before.It always did— I always felt renewed, more powerful and Eros— more dangerous at the end of every hibernation we went into. My aura flowed like the cold frost of snow, spreading across and beyond the pack house and I felt the impact with every shiver of the maids as I walked authoritatively past them."Mi..Mighty Supreme Alpha!" They chorused, voices shaking, knees wobbly as they stood, heads bowed in unconcealed dread. My hands were clasped behind me, my gaze lifeless behind my mask and my expression —cold as I walked. I ignored their greetings, hurriedly making my way to the room of the only person who mattered—My Mate.We couldn't wait to see her. It's been almost a day, and not seeing her for that short amount of time felt like I was hibernating for
