The Tyrant Lycan's Ruined Omega Chapter 138: A Cage Called Safety
I lasted until mid-morning.Xavier spent the early hours locked in the study on successive calls. Kaelen came and went once without looking at me. Mrs. Gable set coffee down and left again. The penthouse felt like a held breath.When he finally stepped out, I was waiting in the hallway."Talk," I said.He looked at me for a long second, then nodded once toward the study. I followed him in and shut the door myself."The file," I said. "All of it. Not the version you decided I could handle at one in the morning."Xavier walked to the desk and rested both hands on the edge. He did not sit."It is a mirrored archive from one of your father's external channels," he said. "It should have died with the rest of his network. It did not. Someone copied it years ago and kept it offline. It surfaced on a closed market two nights ago.""What's on it?""Surveillance and medical logs covering your six years after the disownment. Locati

Xavier's POVThe call came at 1:14 a.m.Kaelen did not waste time on greetings."Secondary file from Holloway's old external archive just surfaced. It was mirrored years ago and parked offshore. Closed black-market channel. Three potential buyers. One is still active."Xavier left the bedroom without turning on the light and sealed the study door behind him."Contents.""Medical and surveillance logs on Ravenna Holloway covering the six years after disownment. Locations. Injuries. Clinic visits. Known associates. Movement patterns detailed enough to rebuild entire months. There are also internal notes that still carry the original asset-marking language."Xavier's hand tightened around the phone until the frame gave a soft protest."Who is bidding?""Preliminary trace points toward a Silverskiöld secondary holding. Nothing clean enough for a formal accusation yet. But the connection is there."Of course it was.He stared at the dark glass and the city spread beneath it."Secure the fi
The Tyrant Lycan's Ruined Omega Chapter 136: Unspoken Things
The quiet after the conversation felt different.It was not the controlled silence Xavier usually imposed, and it was not the tense quiet that followed one of our fights. This one sat heavier, like both of us had spent something we did not know how to replace. I moved through the next day in small, careful motions. Xavier worked from the study with the door open. He answered two calls in a voice that was shorter than usual. When Mrs. Gable asked about dinner, he only said, "Whatever is fine."Ciel noticed before I fully did.She remained close to the surface all afternoon, not agitated exactly, but watchful. Every time Xavier passed through the main room she tracked him. When he stood too long at the glass wall, staring at the city without really seeing it, she made a low questioning pull through the bond. He did not answer it.By evening the shift in him was impossible to ignore. The perfect, organized calm he had worn since the political threat ended was thinner. His movements were

Night fell over the penthouse, and neither of us bothered with the lights.Xavier stood by the glass wall, clutching an untouched drink. I stayed curled on the couch, staring at the floor and trying to ignore the ache in my body.Neither of us was sleeping. The fight about the bar still hung between us, as did everything else. Through the bond, I could feel his wolf—calmed, but still there.I hated that I could feel him, especially now."Are you going to stand there all night?" I asked."Would you prefer I sit?""I'd prefer you give me my life back."He turned his head.There it was. That familiar expression. Not quite anger, not quite indifference. Xavier always looked like he was deciding whether something deserved a response or simply needed to be dealt with."We've discussed this.""No. You've explained what you're going to do. That's not the same thing."He put the glass down."You're not getting the bar back, Ravenna.""I know.""The monitoring stays.""I know.""Then what exact
The Tyrant Lycan's Ruined Omega Chapter 134: When His Control Breaks
The argument about the bar followed me long after Xavier left for his meetings. I tried to occupy myself that afternoon. I showered, changed clothes, opened a book and managed to read the same paragraph four times before giving up. Nothing held my attention. Every room in the penthouse seemed to remind me of something I no longer had. The clinic had been a compromise. Brie had been restricted, the network shut down, and now the bar was gone. I had spent weeks accepting one restriction after another because I believed there was still something worth protecting. Apparently, I had been wrong. Ciel wasn't helping. She moved restlessly beneath my skin, occasionally pressing against the remnants of Xavier's wolf. I couldn't tell whether she was angry with him or simply tired of being pushed aside. Perhaps both. At 7:12, the private elevator opened. Xavier entered while looking at his tablet. He removed his jacket, placed the device on the console and finally turned toward me. "You'r

I waited until breakfast was finished and Mrs. Gable had left the floor.Xavier sat at the long table with a tablet, reviewing something that required his full attention. The city beyond the glass was already bright. I stood on the other side of the table and waited until he looked up."I want the bar," I said.He set the tablet down. "No.""I'm not asking for late nights or full shifts. Early hours. Two evenings a week. The same detail you already use for the clinic.""No.""The clinic isn't enough."Xavier leaned back in his chair. "It is what you have."I kept my voice level. "The bar is the first place I earned money that no one could take from me. It is where I learned how to stand in a room full of people who wanted something and give them only what I chose. It is the last piece of the life I built after my family and the Crown both discarded me. I am not giving it up because you decided every part of my past is a liability."His eyes stayed on mine. "The bar is also where men l
