All Chapters of Finally Done, Ex. I Am Mate, Not Maid: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

LEAHThe knot tying us together finally began to soften, releasing us after what felt like an eternity, the pleasure still pulsing through me.Kieran stayed inside me a little longer.His body still caged mine, pressing me gently against the wall, his hot breath fanning heavy against the curve of my neck, making my head spin. His gray eyes were half-lidded with satisfaction, one large hand moving in a slow, sensual stroke down the length of my spine.I was trembling hard in his arms. My body slick with sweat and the remnants of what we'd just done, my core still clenching around him as the knot eased and he softened. The mate bond hummed strong between us, warm and demanding submission.But the moment that fog of pure lust started lifting from my head, reality crashed into me like a freight train, yanking me back into my senses. Back into the consciousness of the old Leah Callahan.Fuck. What did I just do?The hatred I'd harbored for so long, the walls I'd built so carefully... all o

KIERANA loud, relentless banging on the door shattered the silence of the bedroom. This wasn’t some regular knock. It was the emergency signal we only used when our territory was in deep shit.“Boss! Urgent! We’re under attack!” Dex’s voice came through the door, muffled but thick with raw panic.The second I heard “attack,” my Alpha instincts exploded. I moved like lightning, carefully untangling my possessive hold on Leah so I wouldn’t wake her, then slid off the bed. I didn’t even bother grabbing my shirt. Bare-chested, my broad torso still covered in fresh red scratch marks from Leah’s wild nails last night, I strode across the room and yanked the door open.“Where?” I growled low.Dex stood there breathing hard, face pale as hell, shoving a tablet at me with the live feed already playing.“Our exclusive club in the North District, Boss. Those hybrid clan bastards launched a surprise attack. They blew through the steel gates, slaughtered the perimeter guards, and torched the main

LEAHFor the rest of the night, I just sat in the chair by the window, still wrapped tight in my bathrobe towel, staring out toward the Northern District.BAM!The sound of the front door downstairs being shoved open violently shattered the silence in Vorreth’s residence.Heavy, hurried, chaotic footsteps echoed up. My heart instantly started racing like crazy. The mate bond in my chest—the one that had been throbbing with pain since dawn—suddenly went haywire, flooding me with such a thick wave of danger that I could barely breathe.I stood up from the chair and walked stiffly toward the bedroom door just as it was slammed open from the outside.Dex burst in first, his face covered in black soot and raw panic. Behind him, supporting a much larger body, were two of Vorreth’s elite soldiers.And between them… was Kieran.My breath caught in my throat. My photographic memory instantly locked onto the horrifying sight in front of me. The man who had completely dominated me last night now

LEAHMy footsteps fast down the west wing corridor. Screw the towel robe still clinging to my body, and screw Kieran's blood that was starting to dry on my palms. The anxiety burning in my chest steamrolled right over any fear I had of the dominant Alpha's threats.I had to get to the changing room, put on some real clothes, and get the hell out of this estate before Kieran ordered Dex to lock down the entire perimeter."Miss Leah! Wait!"The sound of hurried footsteps chased after me. I didn't need to turn around to know it was Dex. Just as I was about to reach my bedroom door, a solid arm stretched out, blocking my path—polite, but firm."Move, Dex," I hissed without looking at him, my hand already reaching for the door handle."Miss, please, just listen to reason," Dex said, his breathing rushed. His haggard face looked absolutely tortured, caught between his boss's orders and my stubborn ass. "The Alpha just regained consciousness from a lethal dose of silver poison. His energy is

LEAHThe spotlights from the three black SUVs were way too blinding, making my eyes sting and screwing up my ability to get a clear read on the situation. The door of my jeep was being hammered on from the outside, hard and rough. I gripped the small sterile knife in my right hand, which was shaking like crazy, staring at the tall silhouettes that were now surrounding my car in the thick fog at the border.Crash!The window next to the driver's seat shattered into pieces from one hard hit. Before I could even stab with the knife in my hand, a huge hand in a black tactical glove grabbed my wrist with massive force, forcing me to drop the knife onto the car floor.My body was yanked out of the driver's seat through the sharp broken glass of the window. The side of my leather jacket got snagged for a second, but they didn't give a damn. My feet dragged across the cold asphalt of the border road. I tried to scream, tried to call out Dex's name or anyone's, but a handkerchief soaked in som
