The lamp shattered after the deafening noise, and I watched scarlet liquid slide down Franz's head. His expression turned blank for a moment before he fell limply to the ground, his eyes unfocused and staring at nothing before him.With Franz's Beta power, I knew he could have easily dodged or returned the blow. But because he wanted to get the antidote for me...!It was all my fault!"F-Franz...!" I burst into tears, and I couldn't stop coughing up blood as I struggled to crawl across the floor to him.Bruce laughed wickedly with no mercy on his face. He exercised his neck and tipped his head to a side, then stepped on Franz's temples. The silver stud in his left ear glimmered in the daylight, and the shadows fell on his face, making him look like... a demon.At that moment I knew what a demon would look like. Bruce was indeed like one."Please... Don't hurt him...! I'll go with you... You can take out all your anger on me or punish me! I won't escape anymore, I swear! P-please... l

Rylee's POVI opened my eyes and saw only white.Where was I?I turned my head to see a gorgeous lady looking at me with red, puffy eyes.Was she crying... for me?But... Why? Did I know her?"Who are you?" I asked, looking blankly at the woman before me."Rylee..." she said, her lips quivering as she looked at me.I frowned. "Rylee...? Is that my name?""How can this be... Don't you remember me? It's me, Stacey...!"She choked on her words, and I studied her anxious face, trying to recall something, but my mind was completely empty. I couldn't remember anything."I really can't remember. Have... Have we met before?"Her face turned even paler, and her lips trembled even worse. "You don't remember anything? Then what about Lionel?""Lionel...?" The name was familiar on my lips, but I couldn't remember anything about it."What about Franz? Jenna? You don't remember them either?"I shook my head in confusion."What about Rina? Your wolf? Try reaching out to her!"Wolf?I didn't underst

"...I want to prepare you first," Lionel said as he pulled down my pants. "Even if you regret it later, I won't let you go."He sighed and gently caressed my stomach before slowly inching his hand downward. My skin tingled as he dragged his hand across my body, and I squirmed restlessly, subconsciously yearning for more of his touch and affection.His fingers were slender and nimble, dancing lightly across my skin when he suddenly touched the most sensitive spot on my body, and I couldn't help but let out a loud moan as I shuddered.Lionel gently drew circles over the sensitive nub, sending tiny shocks through my body that eroded my sanity little by little."Lionel...!" I whimpered.Before I could say anything else, Lionel pressed his burning lips against mine, swallowing up any other words. The taste of him was so addictive, and I wrapped my arms around his neck to deepen the kiss.He let out a low growl before pulling his fingers away from my clit and replacing it with his hard cock

Cara was stunned speechless. She stared at me blankly as if entirely sure I would want her dead."I..."I didn't know how to decide. After all, I didn't even remember what she had done.Cara crawled onto her knees and sobbed, "Rylee! You won't kill me, would you? You used to be so nice to me... You said I was like family...!""Family?" I repeated the word, but couldn't feel any warmth of it. "If we were as close as family, why would you try to kill me?!""I... I was only angry and confused! I—"Before she could finish, two petite nurses burst through the door. When they saw Cara on the floor, one of them shouted, "Why are you here, Number Seven?!"Number Seven?Oh. So Cara was the Slave I heard the nurses talking about, the one who couldn't pay the hospital bills and would get discharged!The nurses suddenly realized who was in the room, and they shivered at the cold look on Lionel's face."W-we're sorry, Alpha. We didn't keep a proper eye on her. We were going to discharge her—""It

After dinner, Lionel and I stood side by side in his bedroom doorway, staring dumbfounded at Franz.Franz was humming a song as he made the bed. He placed the living room pillows on Lionel's bed, moved a large comforter from the guest bedroom, and let out a long sigh once he was done arranging everything."You're sleeping with me tonight!" Franz said to Lionel.For a moment, a fleeting thought that this man who claimed to like me actually liked Lionel crossed my mind. Why else would he be so aggressive in wanting to share a bed with Lionel?"I won't," Lionel refused without hesitation, placing an arm around my shoulder, and was about to leave when Franz stopped him.He yanked on Lionel's sleeve with a deathly grip and said, "Don't you fucking forget our agreement!"I shot Lionel a suspicious look, but Lionel averted his eyes.After a while, I heard him let out a long sigh."Rylee... he's a coward, so I'll stay with him for a while. Is that okay?""Who are you calling him a coward?""S
