Theirs To Possess And Ruin 182: Bullied Into Cooperation
Vivienne POVThe moment Kane talked about condition, I knew I wasn't going to like it.His expression alone was enough warning.That man only looked that serious when he was about to say something that would annoy me."What condition?" I asked suspiciously.Kane nodded."Two of us are going with you."For several seconds I simply stared at him then I laughed but obody laughed with me.My smile slowly disappeared."You're serious.""Very."I looked around the room.Dante nodded, Ryker nodded and Asher nodded too My eye twitched."Oh, goddess."They had discussed this and not only discussed it, they had clearly agreed on it before coming here.I suddenly felt ambushed."Absolutely not.""Absolutely yes," Kane replied immediately."No.""Yes.""No.""Yes."I pointed at him."You don't get to decide that.""And you don't get to walk into a mafia empire full of people who would happily stab you and expect us to smile and wave goodbye."I groaned loudly and dropped back into my chair."Tha
Theirs To Possess And Ruin 181: One Condition
Vivienne I nodded, though I knew all of them could feel I wasn’t exactly calm. The bond was wide open now, humming with emotions from every side, and theirs were hitting me almost as strongly as mine. There was relief, surprise, worry, love and underneath it, that sharp edge of fear they tried to hide whenever I looked too serious. It should have overwhelmed me, but instead it made me smile because these terrifying Alpha men, rulers of Shadowcrest, could face armies without blinking yet one emotional hug from me had them internally panicking like pups in a thunderstorms I pulled back fully and wiped my face even though no tears had fallen. “Come in. I need to talk to you.”The panic through the bond spiked so fast I actually laughed.Kane’s eyes narrowed. “Why are you laughing?”“Because all four of you just became emotionally constipated at the same time.”Asher blinked, then placed a hand over his chest like I had wounded him. “That is a very cruel accusation.”“It’s also true,”
Theirs To Possess And Ruin 180: Two Homes, One Heart
Vivienne POVIt had been two weeks since everything almost ended and it should have been enough time for life to calm down, but my life had never understood the meaning of calm. Things had been good in some ways, awkward in others and completely messy in the places nobody wanted to talk about directly. The men were always there, not suffocating me the way they used to or hovering like I was made of glass, but present in that steady way that made it hard to pretend I was alone. Dante kept the pack’s politics away from me unless it mattered, Kane made sure I ate even when he acted like he was only doing it because my stubbornness annoyed him, Asher kept showing up with jokes and stolen kisses whenever the air got too heavy, and Ryker watched me with that quiet patience that made lying to myself almost impossible. They were trying and goddess help me, I was trying too.In those two weeks, I had also made real progress with my empire. Not just soft progress or ceremonial little change
Theirs To Possess And Ruin 179: What She Won’t Say
DanteThe office was quiet, but not peaceful.There was a difference.Papers were spread across the desk in front of me, reports stacked in neat piles that meant nothing on the surface but everything underneath, because every line, every number, every missing detail pointed back to the same thing.Zach’s death.Closed.That was what the heaf council called it.Resolved. Handled. Buried.I didn’t believe that for a second.My fingers tapped once against the file before going still, my eyes scanning the report again even though I already knew what it said, what it didn’t say, and more importantly, what it avoided saying completely.“No sign of forced entry, no external witnesses, no magical residue that couldn’t be explained,” Kane read from the chair across from me, his voice flat but edged with irritation as he flipped through another report like he was looking for something that refused to be found. “Convenient.”“Too convenient,” I replied, leaning back slightly in my chair, my gaze
Theirs To Possess And Ruin 178: Pulled in Two Directions
Vivienne(Five days later)I stared at the documents spread across the desk and cussed under my breath, fingers tightening around the edge of the paper as irritation climbed up my spine. “Damn Marcus… that bastard is ruining my empire,” I muttered, not even bothering to hide the anger in my voice this time because honestly, what was the point, the damage was right there in front of me, black and white, line after line of reports showing just how much chaos he had left behind.I had asked one of my newly reinstated subordinates to compile everything, every shift in power, every loss, every internal conflict, every snake trying to rise now that Marcus was gone, and they had done exactly that, too well even, because now I was stuck looking at the mess he had created like it was some kind of twisted farewell gift.“He really went all out before he fell,” Ivy commented lazily in my head, sounding far too entertained for my liking. “I almost respect it. Almost.”“Don’t start,” I muttered,
Theirs To Possess And Ruin 177: Where Do You Belong
VivienneThings had been… strange.Not bad or tense like before or that sharp, suffocating distance that made every room feel colder than it should. It was different now, softer in a way I didn’t quite trust yet, like something fragile had been placed between us and everyone was being careful not to break it again.And somehow… that made it harder.Because now they looked at me differently.Not like I was something they were trying to hold onto while I kept slipping away, but like I had already chosen to stay, like I was already part of something I hadn’t fully agreed to but also hadn’t rejected.And that was the problem.I hadn’t rejected it.I sat by the long table in the private dining room, lazily pushing food around my plate with my fork, not really eating this time, just thinking, while the men were scattered around me like they always seemed to be now. Kane leaned against the far wall with his arms crossed, watching me in that quiet, intense way of his, Ryker was seated beside
