Kane’s POV

Immediately I stepped out of the car, her scent hit me like a fist to the chest, it was thick, sweet, molten, and so fucking strong it nearly knocked me to my knees.

“Red…” I mumbled, voice rough and wrecked, eyes snapping up to the others.

Dante froze mid-step, nostrils flaring, pupils blowing wide in an instant.

Ryker’s head jerked up, grin vanishing, replaced by something feral and dangerous as he inhaled deeply.

Vivienne’s scent.

And it was strong.

It was not a trace or a whisp

  • Theirs To Possess And Ruin   207: You Were Never Supposed to Love Them

    Vivienne POVI stepped away from Kane once my breathing was steady enough, although he stayed close behind me. None of the men tried to stop me when I faced Zach again. They knew I needed this, and after everything we had already discovered, I wasn't leaving the room with another collection of half-answers.Looking at Zach still hurt in ways I hated, but the tears had cleared enough for anger to return. This time, instead of seeing the friend I had mourned, I forced myself to remember that night exactly as it happened. I had woken up missing the four men so badly that I could barely think straight. My body had still been weak, yet I had dragged myself out of bed because I needed to see them. Zach had found me in the hallway. He had touched my arm, asked what was wrong and offered to call the Alphas after I told him where I was going.Then he disappeared.Minutes later, I walked into Asher's room and found Zach lying in a pool of blood while Asher stood there holding a bloody dagger.T

  • Theirs To Possess And Ruin   206: Confrontation

    Vivienne POVI was sitting watching as they bought Zach back again, sitting him down and he stared at me.He'd been a mess when I saw him before and the men said they'd go clean him up before I see him and deep down, I was happy because I need time to calm my emotions, however seeing him now in front of me, it was still weird .I had imagined this moment too many times.Ever since the first report suggested Zach might be alive, I had pictured what I would do if they actually brought him to me. Sometimes I slapped him before he could speak. Sometimes I broke his nose. Once, during a particularly angry night, I had imagined stabbing him in the leg and asking questions while he bled because apparently my mind had decided patience was no longer necessary.None of those versions included me sitting completely still.Zach was restrained in the chair across from me, his wrists bound with enchanted cuffs that even a strong wolf would struggle to break. Dante stood a short distance behind him

  • Theirs To Possess And Ruin   205: They’re Back

    Vivienne’s PovBy the time I returned to the mansion, I had decided I deserved some kind of recognition.Well, I'm not talking about a medal exactly, because that felt dramatic, but at least a small celebration. Maybe food, applause or one person standing at the entrance and saying, 'Vivienne, congratulations on attending a diplomatic meeting without throwing anyone through a window.'Considering how badly one of the Red Hollow representatives had tested my patience, I thought that was reasonable.“I behaved very well,” I told Ivy as I stepped through the entrance hall and pulled the veil away from my face.She gave a dry little hum inside my head. “You threatened a diplomat.”“I negotiated with him.”“You stood up because you wanted to hit him.”“But I did not hit him.” I handed the veil to a passing servant and straightened my clothes, satisfied with that distinction. “That is growth.”Ivy laughed. “You were imagining exactly where your palm would land.”“That is not illegal.”“It s

  • Theirs To Possess And Ruin   204: Suspicion

    Vivienne pov.My aura slipped out before I could stop it, not fully or enough to crush anyone, but enough that the younger man’s wolf reacted instantly. His shoulders stiffened. His face lost a little color. The older representative turned toward him with open anger now, probably wishing he could drag the idiot out himself.I took one step forward and Ivy growled inside me.“Vivienne.”“I’m not hitting him.”“You are thinking very loudly.”I stopped at the edge of the table then I smiled.Fine.No fist.There were other ways to make someone regret opening their mouth.“You are right about one thing,” I said.The younger man blinked and everyone else watched me.“You do not answer to me.”His expression slowly recovered.I continued, “Red Hollow is not my pack. I cannot command your Alpha. I cannot force your people to trade. I cannot decide whether you stay in the agreement.”He actually smiled but that was too early.“But I can decide what Shadowcrest accepts.”His smile disappeared

  • Theirs To Possess And Ruin   203: One Last Warning

    ChapterVivienne POV“Choose carefully, special guests, because I am already tired.”For a few seconds, nobody answered.The younger Red Hollow representative looked like he still wanted to argue, but the older man beside him shot him a warning glance before turning back to me. His expression had hardened considerably since I entered the room, though at least he finally seemed to understand that the veil was not coming off and the Alphas were not magically appearing just because he demanded them. He adjusted the front of his coat, leaned back into his seat and exhaled through his nose like a man being forced to tolerate something deeply beneath him.“Very well,” he said. “We will speak.”“Good.”I settled back in my chair and folded one leg over the other. “Then speak.”The older man glanced at the folder in front of him before beginning. “Five years ago, Red Hollow entered a ten-year trade agreement with Shadowcrest under very different market conditions. At the time, the arrangeme

  • Theirs To Possess And Ruin   202: The Veiled Luna

    Vivienne POV Lance returned with a long black veil that covered the lower half of my face and fell softly over my shoulders. It was plain, without jewels or unnecessary decoration, which was perfect because I wasn’t trying to impress anyone. I only wanted enough concealment to stop the visitors from recognizing me too quickly and enough fabric between my mouth and the room to hide the insults I might whisper when they started speaking nonsense. I tied it securely behind my head, adjusted the folds and looked at Lance. “Can you still tell when I’m angry?” He studied me carefully, then his gaze moved to my eyes. “Yes.” I frowned. “That was not the answer I wanted.” “Your eyes are very expressive, My Luna.” “They express murder?” “Sometimes.” Ivy laughed inside my head. “The cloth is covering the wrong part.” “I’m starting to regret waking you up.” “You’d be dead without me.” “Details.” Lance opened the heavy doors, and I took one slow breath before stepping into the council
