Alexander Sterling 소설 & 이야기

I don't look back as I walk away, but I can feel the gaze of his gold eyes watching me until I disappear into the darkness of the night. I look at the card in my hand. Xavier Sterling. "Sterling?" Thud! My heart seems to sink into my stomach. Xavier Sterling is the apex predator in the business world and the supreme leader of the Sterling clan. Xavier Sterling, the Alpha of all Alphas, wields immense power over this continent. I just kissed the most dangerous man in the werewolf world. ***

His frozen heart is finally starting to melt, yet I am the fraud who will shatter it into pieces. Alexander Sterling is a dangerous, ruthless tycoon, feared across continents, but tonight I cannot stop seeing him as a man. A human being who was broken by the people he loved, who spent five years hiding behind a matte-black shield mask, fighting his lung scars in the dark, and trusting absolutely no one. Now, because I saved his breathing and defended his family honor in front of his enemies, his frozen heart is thawing. He is opening his lonely world to me—yet every single smile I give him is a betrayal.

He's sizing up Cyrus when I turn around. I get that Landon is going to be protective, I mean I'm his best friend. But if Landon is going to death stare Cyrus for the rest of eternity, I'm not sure this is going to work. Cyrus seems nervous, as he picks up the basket he had set down to hug me. He nods his head at Landon as a form of respect. For a moment I'm confused, till I realise that we are in the presence of an Alpha, even if it doesn't feel like it.

In order words,there were his subordinates now. "Young Master,We are very sorry for the loss" said a middle aged man named Frankenstein.Alexander looked towards him,it seemed like this Frankenstein was the steward for this mansion. Looking at Frankenstein, He had a domineering and handsome appearance,thick eyebrows converging close to the center of his forehead.Merely lookifng at him, Alexander inner mind screamed Danger.Frankenstein was a experienced veteran of war,he was rescued by Alexander's parents when he barely escaped the last war he was involved in.

She screamed when she saw me and this time I covered my ears she was so loud. “Knock it the fuck off!” I bellowed. My bellowing startled her. Her eyes widened, and she blinked slowly at me as her mouth fell open in shock. “Yes, the monster speaks and has sensitive hearing. It also has a name. It’s Asterion, by the way.” I said, stalking forward to sit at the table. She flinched as if I was stalking towards her. I’m not sure if she was more surprised when I spoke or that I had no intentions of touching her.

I took that as a good sign but I kept my face a placid mask so she wouldn't see my gratification. "My name is Sydney Holt. I'm the Alpha of Alphas. It's nice to meet you, Alpha Victor," a meek smile crawled onto her mouth, "if I remember correctly, and there's a chance that I don't," a frown stole that smile as she glared at our joined hands, "you hated being called Alpha." I dropped her hand. "He still hates it," Saint piped in with an elated wave and an almost child-like grin showing off both rows of her teeth, "hi, I'm Saint, the Big Man's Beta. Really is an honor to meet you."

"Elizabeth, there are certain matters I haven't shared with you. Things that I believed were better left unsaid to protect you from unnecessary worry." Elizabeth's brow furrowed, her patience fading as the magnitude of the situation weighed heavily upon her. "What matters, Alexander? Who is Thomas Sterling, and why is his identity in secrecy?" Her husband hesitated, then let out a sigh of exhaustion slowly, as if the words he needed to speak were heavy with the burden of truth. "Thomas Sterling is a man I've known for many years," he began. "He's a private investigator, someone I've employed to carry out specific tasks. Tasks that I couldn't entrust to anyone else."

His gaze, intense and enigmatic, met Victoria's as she entered. "Ms. Harper, I presume," Alexander's voice, smooth and commanding, cut through the silence. Victoria nodded, taking a moment to assess the man she would be working closely with. His reputation as a playboy preceded him, but his piercing blue eyes hinted at a complexity that intrigued her. "Mr. Sterling," she replied with a professional smile, extending her hand. He accepted the handshake, his grip firm but not overpowering. The subtle tension between them hung in the air, and Victoria wondered if there was more to Alexander Sterling than the tabloids portrayed.

“Then tell me.” He sighed. “Alexandro is a powerful Alpha, no doubt. He commands loyalty and strength. But that strength has come at a cost. He’s ruled through dominance, fear, and an unwavering pride. He’s stubborn to the point of recklessness. Wars have been fought because he refused to negotiate. People have died because he didn’t want to appear weak.” Serena’s throat tightened. “You think I don’t know he’s stubborn? He doesn’t always share his feelings, and yes, he shuts people out. But he’s not heartless.”

But at the moment, I’d much rather be involved with bringing down a werewolf-run drug running operation instead of a vampire-inflicted human homicide bordering pack lands. “Detective Fergeson, it’s nice to meet you. I’m sorry it has to be under these conditions.” I say, turning to shake his hand. “I’m Alpha Scarlett, the Alpha of the Crimson Snow Pack and these,” I point to Bree and Dax, “these are my Gamma and Lead Warrior, Bree and Dax.” Motioning to the others, I tell him, “this is Blake, Serafina, Theo and Conan, four more of my warriors. And this is Tasha and Channing, two of my trackers. Channing is the one who found the deceased.” I hear someone clearing their throat near me. “Oh, for
