Aliyana’s POV

The vow still echoed in my chest the next morning. They will not break me.

But vows were easier made in the dark. Harder to keep when daylight came with whispers and sharp stares that sliced like blades.

Maren helped lace my gown, her fingers careful, her silence comforting. I could feel her eyes on me, curious, maybe even concerned, but she didn’t speak. I was grateful. Words were fragile things. Too many of them, and I might shatter.

When she finally left, I stood before the mirror, staring at a stranger. My reflection wore silk the color of ashes, her hair braided back tight. But her eyes—my eyes—looked bruised with sleepless nights. I barely recognized myself.

“Luke,” I whispered, and the name hurt like fresh glass in my throat. His smile haunted me, his voice, his promise that nothing could take me from him.

But something had.

And now I was trapped here, in a fortress that swallowed hope whole.

The knock came just before midday. Sharp, demanding.

  • To Tame The Monster Alpha   Chapter 32

    ~Aliyana Pov ~I place the soft bread under my nose, taking a sniff out of it. After Karen told me about Alessia being safe yesterday, I made it my goal to make sure to get her out of that place, no matter how long it took me.I planned and planned last night, hiding all evidence of my plans the minute Maren walked in,because she has shown me countless times that she belonged to the alpha and no one else. She obeyed and did everything he wanted so she wasn’t trustworthy.I managed to get out of her watch and come downstairs for a quick snack, I refused to eat breakfast on a table with that monster that woman calls herself Calista.She could have him if she wanted, I didn’t care.I heard footsteps behind me, I paused to take a breath, my mouth went still, bread still in my mouth as I listened for whoever was coming.My guard was always up in this fortress, a lot of people didn’t like my presence so I was prone to being attacked.“Wow, you’re never beating the allegations that you’re a

  • To Tame The Monster Alpha   Chapter 31

    ~Aliyana Pov~My heart slammed wildly, clawing at my chest as if it wanted out. The guard’s words repeated again and again—one of the prisoners had died.I couldn’t breathe. My lips parted, but no sound came out. My throat locked tight like a fist was pressing against it. I wanted to scream, but I didn’t dare.Who?The thoughts filled my head as I wondered what could have gone wrong.Disgust filled me as I remembered all the thoughts I had while I was away. I fantasized about a man I hated, a man that put me and my family through this while my sister suffered…she begged and cried in the dark hoping for the light…I shake my head, pushing that thought away,grasping to the little hope that maybe, just maybe it wasn’t her.Nolan’s face didn’t shift. His silver eyes stayed hard, unreadable. He nodded once, sharp and cold, then dismissed the guard with a flick of his hand. Just like that.“See to the body. I’ll handle it later,” Nolan said, his voice steady, cutting the air.The guard bowe

  • To Tame The Monster Alpha   Chapter 30

    ~Aliyana Pov~“Alpha the chariot is here” Elias voiced boomed loudly in the air, causing Nolan and I to retreat.I released a breath I didn’t know I was holding, why did he know how to make my brain foggy without even trying.A smirk formed on his face as he stared hard,taking a step close before whispering “Are you alright bride?” Before walking away.Ugh I hated his smug voice.“My lady, would you like to go inside now?” Maren voiced out.“Do you know where he’s going?” I asked, but for some reason, I wasn’t asking for my plan but just because I wanted to know his whereabouts.Which was weird.“I don’t know when Alpha Nolan will be back” She responded, and the honest truth was that I wasn’t surprised with her response.Maren had no answer to questions, she was just footing around.I knew it was all an act but I still couldn’t try to stop myself from getting angry every time she said “I don’t know”.I followed her back into the room, sitting there, thinking of everything that had hap

  • To Tame The Monster Alpha   Chapter 29

    ~Alpha Nolan~I could read her, no matter how much she tried to hide her emotions and thoughts, I could see through her facade.She was thinking of a way to run away from here. The garden visit wasn’t to admire the garden; it was to figure out ways to get away from here.“Maren, would you excuse us?” Maren bowed her head instantly, moving backwards with her hand firmly tucked on her stomach.“What do you want? Or I’m I not allowed to come outside again?” She spat out, her venomous words filling the air.When had she ever kept quiet?“Do you want to go back? Because trust me bride I could make that happen” my lips curved into a smirk as I sat next to her. She shifted, trying to get as far away from me.“My opinion doesn’t matter, you’ll choose to be a prick at the end of the day,” She said, glaring hard at me.“You know what, I'd like to take my leave, you’re suffocating me,” she said, getting up on her feet, proceeding to leave without hearing my response.“Are you sure Alessia is sti

  • To Tame The Monster Alpha   Chapter 28

    ~Aliyana Pov~I stayed up all night, waiting for whoever it was to come, waiting for whatever he planned to happen. I couldn’t lose my focus and I couldn’t trust him.His ego was bruised and hurt when I ran away from him so I was sure he was going to pay me back.Throwing me off his balcony was just the top of the iceberg of what this man was capable of.The sun peaked into the room through the curtain and I thought of something I never thought I’d say, I missed the old room I stayed at, it didn’t feel like a prison, it felt different and I’d gotten to like it.Soft footsteps filled the air as I held my breath, feeling dejavu, the lock of the door creaked as Maren walked inside.“Good morning my lady, I hope you had a nice night's rest” she bowed, but all I felt was fury and annoyance towards her.“There’s nothing good about the morning Maren, and No! I did not have a good night rest, not in this prison” she didn’t seem to flinch at my tube, instead she stood unfazed, as usual.“I’ll

  • To Tame The Monster Alpha   Chapter 27

    ~Aliyana Pov~Frustration and anger filled my body as he lifted me up like I weighed nothing, taking me out of the woods.My struggle, strength and hope, all gone just because I couldn’t fight harder, just because I let this man win again.“I guess you think I’m a joke” he said as he opened the car door and shoved me in. He disappeared into the building and he came back with Elias, as the reporters rushed to them asking them questions I couldn’t hear.The lights flickered hard, as the reporters tried to take clips of me.Nolan walked into the car, looking unbothered like he didn’t just chase me down a forest to get me.He didn’t look at me, which I was happy with. When we were on our way here, I felt his eyes burning deep holes into my skin but this time around there was nothing like that. We arrived at the portal and there waiting was Maren with some other guards.I came out from the car and instantly Maren made her way behind me.“Don’t take your eyes off her, my bride is choosing t
