All Chapters of Alpha Daddy Take my Cherry : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"What's wrong? Can't even shift now?" The voice cut right through Liora. She pressed her back against the cold wall of the dressing room and tried to breathe. "Pathetic. Weak Omega bitch."That was Danny the club manager. Thick neck, gold rings on every finger, breath that always smelled like cheap whiskey and worse decisions. He stood in the doorway with his arms crossed, looking at her the way people looked at roadkill. Liora's wolf stirred faintly inside her. A flicker. That was all she got these days — a flicker. "I said I'd pay you back." Liora kept her voice steady. "But I'm not going out there and letting drunk men buy my time." Danny stepped closer. "See that VIP booth out there?" He jerked his head toward the curtain. The bass from the main floor thudded through the walls like a second heartbeat. "Tonight, you're going to make sure he has a very good time." Liora didn't move. "Scared already?" His lips stretched into something that wasn't a smile. "It's a wet par

"I regret it." Liora said it to the ceiling of her apartment. Flat on her back on the couch, one arm over her face, still in last night's clothes. "I completely and totally regret it." I told you.* Freya's voice was thin as paper. I told you and you didn't listen and now we're going to die in this apartment and nobody will find us for three days. "We're not going to die." Liora. "Okay, we might die." She pressed her palms against her eyes. "God, I shouldn't have broken the bond. My dad's debts are still sitting there and now I have no mate and you're fading and I just — I ruined everything."Screw the debt. Freya's tone shifted, sharper now, urgent. Liora, listen to me. You need to recharge. Right now. Today. If you don't get energy from your mate soon, I won't make it. And neither will you. "I know." Liora sat up slowly. Her whole body felt heavy. "I know, Freya." She stared at the wall. Then she thought about last night. The club. The warmth that had moved through her chest

It happened fast. One second Elias was standing at the bar. The next his hand came down hard on the counter and he turned to face her with something in his eyes that was not the usual nothing. "Mate." The word came out low. Rough. Like it surprised him. Liora went very still. "Tell me." His voice was controlled but tight around the edges. "What did you do to me?" "I didn't—" "My heart is racing." He took one step closer. "Throat dry. Body burning up." His eyes searched her face. "What was in that glass?" "It's not—" "Did you poison me?" "No!" "Then what—" "You feel something!" The words came out before she could stop them. Liora snapped her mouth shut. Then opened it again. "You do. You feel something for me. That's why it's working." Elias stared at her. "Answer me," he said quietly. "What was in it." Liora straightened. "No poison. I promise. Just a fun potion mixed with a little alcohol. That's all." "That's all." "It only amplifies emotions and

"A tutor?" Liora sat up fully now. "For Niko?""Writing specifically." Sophia's voice was crisp with the satisfaction of someone who had done their research. "Apparently the boy is a disaster with a pen. Can't structure a sentence to save his life. Elias has been quietly asking around for someone patient enough to handle him.""Where did you even hear this?""Two of his staff were talking at the grocery store. I was standing right behind them in the queue." A pause. "I may have listened very carefully.""Sophia.""I may have also introduced myself.""Sophia!""And told them I knew exactly the right person for the job." She said it quickly, like speed would soften it. "Before you start — just listen.""He will never hire me." Liora stood up and started pacing. "Elias Duskfangor is not going to let me into his home as his son's tutor. Not after everything. Not after tonight.""Why not?""Because he's—" She gestured at the air. "He's him. And I'm me. And I made a complete fool of myself

"Move in?"Liora heard herself say it before she could stop it. The words came out flat and startled, like she'd been asked to relocate to the moon.Elias raised one eyebrow. Just one."That is what I said.""I understood what you said. I just—" She stopped. Cleared her throat. "I'll need to think about that particular condition."Elias shrugged like it was the simplest thing in the world. "Think fast. The offer expires when you walk out that door."Liora opened her mouth.*Mental slap,* Freya said.Not a gentle one either. It cracked through her thoughts like a ruler on a desk.*Debt. Remember the debt. Remember me. Remember that I am DYING, Liora.*Liora closed her mouth.Opened it again."Agreed," she said. "I'll move in after the trial period."Elias nodded once like she'd simply confirmed the weather. "My team will send the full terms to your email. You start Monday."He sat back down at his desk. Picked up his pen. The meeting, apparently, was over.Liora picked up her folder, t
