2025-12-21 04:44:11Riley's POV
Lennox bolted out of the locker room like I’d just threatened to burn her precious designer heels. I leaned against the lockers, towel hanging loose around my hips, and let myself grin. She could deny it until the moon fell out of the sky, but I’d felt the way her body reacted. Fast heartbeat. Dilated pupils. That faint hitch in her breath when my hand brushed her arm. Yeah. She wanted me. The best part? She hated admitting it. That made this game so much more fun. I cinched the towel back around my waist, still wondering what in the hell I’d done to make my own mate act like I was some contagious disease. Most women didn’t run from me. They ran to me. And the few who didn’t were either taken, allergic to commitment, or… let’s just say, very committed to batting for another team. But Lennox? She was neither. She felt the bond. I knew she did. If it was hitting her anything like it was hitting me, she was going out of her damn mind trying to fight it. So why was she fighting it? I ran a hand through my hair, jaw tightening. She’d called me a “player”, which, okay, fair. But she had no idea how much of that reputation was exaggerated. Some of it was pure rumor, and most of those rumors were spread by one particularly clingy ex I refused to feed any more attention. None of it mattered anyway. With Lennox, I had zero intention of playing games I didn’t mean to win. I just… needed her to believe that. And hell, right now? I was still hard as a rock from having her pinned against me earlier. She had no idea what she did to me, or maybe she did, and she enjoyed watching me suffer. Wouldn’t put it past her. That kiss last week….I’d thought about it every damn day since. The taste of her, the way she’d melted for a split second before smacking the hell out of me, yeah, that had been burned into my brain on repeat. I’d even gone as far as asking Coach about her, but he’d made it pretty damn clear I wasn’t getting her address from him. Something about “keeping professional boundaries.” Like that was going to stop me. My wolf snarled low in my head. Find her. “I will,” I muttered under my breath. “Just gotta be patient.” I yanked on my jeans and shirt, slung my bag over my shoulder, and stepped out of the locker room. No sign of her. Figures. Lennox probably sprinted straight to her car before I could catch up. I was halfway to the parking lot when my phone buzzed. Dad: Change of plans. Meeting postponed to tomorrow. I smirked. It looked like the Moon goddess herself had decided to give me the afternoon off, and possibly a shot at finding my runaway mate. I tossed Coach a wave as I passed him. He was talking to a couple of guys I didn’t recognize, but I didn’t slow down. My brain was already working out my next move. ********* My apartment smelled like fresh coffee and vanilla candles, which meant my cousin-slash-roommate, Anna, was home. She was sprawled on the couch in an oversized T-shirt, music blasting from the speakers. When she spotted me, she turned it down. “What are you doing here so early?” “Anna, I need your help.” Her eyes narrowed in that suspicious, calculating way she did when she smelled a payday. “A hundred bucks.” I blinked. “You don’t even know what I’m asking for.” “Doesn’t matter. It’s a hundred bucks.” I snorted. “You are the most expensive free-loader I’ve ever met.” She grinned sweetly. “And yet, you keep me around. That’s called love, cuz.” “Fine,” I sighed. “I need you to find someone for me.” Her brows went up. “Who?” “Fantine Lennox.” Anna tilted her head. “Did she rob you?” “What? No!” I scowled. “I just… want to find her.” “Why?” “I don’t have to tell you why.” She crossed her arms. “You do if you want my help. You know I’m the only one who can get you that info.” Damn her, she was right. Anna knew every corner of campus and had a Rolodex of “friends” who could get her into dorms, records, even the campus security feed if she wanted. None of it was legal, but she didn’t lose sleep over that. “She’s our new PR agent,” I said finally. Anna frowned. “A student is your new PR agent? That’s weird.” Now that she mentioned it, it was weird. But I wasn’t about to start pulling at that thread. Not when I had bigger priorities, like figuring out how to get Lennox alone without her bolting again. “Yeah, well, weird works for me. Just find her dorm room and her class schedule. I’ll triple the amount if you do.” Her eyes lit up. “Triple? Damn, did she steal your kidney?” “Something like that,” I said, smirking. She narrowed her eyes. “Is this a sex thing?” I leaned forward and gave her my best alpha glare. “Anna. Just do it.” “Fine, fine. Payment before service.” She held out her hand like a mob boss. I rolled my eyes and pulled out two crisp hundreds. “You’re bleeding me dry, you know that?” She snatched the bills and grinned. “Thank you for funding my new handbag. Expect your intel by tomorrow.” “Tomorrow?” I groaned. “Do you want it done right or done sloppy?” “Fine. Tomorrow.”

To Kill My ALPHA MATE Chapter 46 - Poisoned Veins
FantineThe heavy rain was slashing through the trees as I dragged Riley's massive, failing body down the wooden steps of the outpost cabin, my own breath coming in ragged gasps while the blood from my shoulder soaked through the torn red silk of my dress, but I couldn't stop to rest because the black lines of the silver poison were already crawling up his neck like dark spiderwebs and his eyelids were fluttering wildly as he tried to stay conscious in my arms.I managed to heave him into the open bed of his tactical truck, his heavy boots slamming against the metal tailgate with a dull thud that made him groan out loud, and I didn't waste a single second checking on the northern scout or the dead mercenaries inside because the low rumble of approaching engines in the deep woods told me that Vance's main hunting party was less than two miles away from our position."Riley, look at me right now and do not close your eyes because if you drift off into that fever, your wolf is going to s
To Kill My ALPHA MATE Chapter 45 - The Silver Hunters
RileyThe burning pain in my shoulder was getting worse by the second, but I kept my grip tight on the collar of the northern scout and dragged him through the heavy wooden door of the abandoned outpost cabin, shoving him hard against the floorboards where he collapsed into a heap near the cold stone fireplace. Fantine followed me inside immediately, her face pale under the dim light of the single battery lantern on the table, and she quickly threw the heavy iron deadbolt across the door frame before she sank into a wooden chair, her left hand coming up to press against her reopening shoulder wound where fresh blood was already staining the fabric of her red dress."You need to let me look at that graze on your arm, Riley, because the scent of your blood is changing rapidly, and that means the bolt that clipped you was coated in something much worse than standard steel," she said, her breathing shallow as she pulled a roll of clean gauze from her small clutch bag and began to wrap it
To Kill My ALPHA MATE Chapter 44 - The Southern Outpost
FantineThe freezing river water was lapping against my ankles as I stood among the silent bodies of the northern enforcers on the muddy bank, and the smell of burnt gunpowder was heavy in the night air while I bent down to examine the deep impressions left in the wet earth near the edge of the reeds. The heavy boot prints had a specific cross-hatched pattern on the heel that only my father’s elite scouts wore, and they led straight away from the burning bridge supports into the thickest part of the dark marsh where the willow trees grew dense and low over the black water."There is someone else watching us from the deeper brush further up the trail, Fantine, because my wolf can smell a strange mixture of gun oil and fresh tobacco coming from the high canopy," Riley said, stepping up beside me with his chest heaving as he wiped a streak of dark mud from his cheek, his golden eyes scanning the dark treeline with a restless intensity."It is a spotter, Riley, and if he has a high-powere
To Kill My ALPHA MATE Chapter 43 - First Blood At The River
RileyThe mud was flying up from under the heavy tires of the tactical truck as I slammed my foot onto the gas pedal, and the dashboard radio was screaming with chaotic reports from the southern river border where the outer patrol towers were taking direct fire from Dante's vanguard crews. Fantine was sitting in the passenger seat beside me, her freshly bandaged palm gripping the handle above the door while she checked the magazine of her pistol, and the new bond between us was pulsing so strongly in my mind that I could feel her heightened focus and her lack of fear as if it were my own adrenaline pumping through my chest."Your father told you to leave me at the main house with the medical team, Riley, so you better be ready to handle his temper if we manage to survive this initial river crossing tonight," she said, her green eyes scanning the dark woods as the headlights bounced over the rough dirt path leading down to the water banks."My father isn't the one down here in the mud
To Kill My ALPHA MATE Chapter 42 - Midnight Alter
FantineThe damp pine needles squished beneath my boots as I followed Riley down the narrow dirt path leading away from the chaotic lights of the grand hall, and the cool night air felt sharp against my face while the distant sound of the pack’s truck engines grew fainter behind the thick treeline. Riley was holding my uninjured hand with a tight grip, his palm warm and sweaty as his wolf pushed against his skin, and ahead of us in the small clearing stood the ancient stone altar where three spiritual elders dressed in dark wool coats were already waiting beside a roaring central flame."You don't have to step onto that stone platform if you aren't completely sure about this, Fantine, because once your blood touches that fire, there is no way to undo the magic and my father's council will hold you to this oath for the rest of your life," Riley whispered, stopping at the edge of the clearing and turning his body to block the elders' view of us for a brief second."I am completely sure,
To Kill My ALPHA MATE Chapter 41 - Blood On The Hearth
RileyThe green fire from the burning note was still sizzling against the wood of the council table, and the sharp smell of sulfur was mixing with the scent of fresh blood dripping from the arrow feathers while my wolf roared right beneath my skin, demanding that I leap through the broken window frame to hunt down whoever had launched that projectile into our home. My father was already on his feet with his golden alpha eyes glowing bright in the dim room, and his hands were clenched into heavy fists as he looked at the shattered glass on the floorboards, his voice booming out over the shouts of the panicked elders who were trying to scramble away from the windows."Lock down every single gate on the perimeter right now, Jayden, and tell the frontline enforcers to drop the steel barriers across the main driveway because Dante just crossed the line by targeting this hall while my council is in session!" my father bellowed, his chest heaving with a deep rage while he pointed toward the
To Kill My ALPHA MATE Chapter 20 - Father's Call
DanteThe burner phone on my desk vibrated against the wood, and I didn't hesitate to pick it up because the reports from my southern territory were getting worse by the hour. My enforcers were losing ground to the rival syndicates, our bank accounts were being frozen by the federal task force, and

Fantine's POV The chill from the rink seeped into my bones, but I didn’t move from my spot just beyond the plexiglass barrier. Clipboard in hand, pen tapping idly, I kept my posture casual, like a PR rep assessing her team.In reality, I was studying my target like a predator lining up her kill.R
To Kill My ALPHA MATE Chapter 1 - The New Girl
Fantine's POV I flashed Coach Rufus my best smile, the one I’d practiced in the mirror for years until it could melt steel. He, like most men, didn’t stand a chance. A little eye contact, a tilt of the head, and a faint trace of innocent confusion… and bam. Cupid’s arrow, straight through the ches
