The Heartless Alpha By Svsmith Novels & Stories

My eye had failed to open since the tip of the whip had landed on them, thus I held them with so much tender. "How dare you touch what is mine?" Alpha Magnus asked, his stare directly at Adrian. "You don't get to dictate for me. I understand we have traded successfully, however she is still my Omega and you are on my pack..." Adrian affirmed, standing his ground. Like the speed of the wind, Alpha Magnus picks up Adrian with one arm by the neck, with an attempt to choke him to death. "She is mine and mine alone." Alpha Magnus yelled out.

I pointed out. He frowned, then a smirk spread across his face. “My love, are you perhaps jealous?” “Don’t flatter yourself. I don’t care about her existence or yours, for that matter.” “You wound me, my love.” He feigned hurt. “But it’s what I love about you.” “Gloria is here on business. She’ll be gone by the end of the evening, and you can have me all to yourself.” “I see. What kind of business?” “It concerns a particularly stubborn Alpha. He is refusing to sell me his land. Gloria is going to make sure he does.”

“Of course, Alpha.” Adrian extended his hand. When her fingers met his, the contact sent a strange thrill through her warm, sharp, impossible to ignore. He led her toward the center of the floor as the music swelled once more. The crowd shifted back, forming a wide circle. No one dared to speak as Silverthorne’s Alpha guided the healer of Blackfang into a waltz. His hand rested at her waist, his other clasped hers firmly. “You look less lost now,” he said quietly, amusement touching his voice.

“I really didn’t want to hear any of the shit that would’ve come out of your mouth anyway. So let’s get it over with, shall we? Quick and easy—for me, at least.” My eyes flew open just in time to see the blade rising in her hand. The dagger—or whatever it was—caught the dim light of the room and glinted like it was proud of what it was about to do, winking at me as if to say, “This is it, girl.” My breath caught in my throat, a sharp gasp that stuck there. Is this really it? Is this how my story ends? Not in some epic battle, not while running for freedom, not with a whisper from the Moon Goddess guiding me to safety… but in a disgusting room like this, trapped between a murderer and a heart

Way more than I had any business liking it. Zevren stood right between us, his eyes moving from her face to mine, unreadable. He didn't say a word until he turned to her. She hesitated, gave me one last look, and slipped back through the doors. Zevren watched her go before turning his full attention back to me. “You did well,” the Alpha said, his voice flat. “Clean the blood off the stone, then get yourself to the healer. You're staying on this detail.” He left me alone with the bodies. I grabbed a bucket and a brush, scrubbing the dark stains off the path while my shoulder throbbed in time with my pulse. My mind wouldn't shut up. I kept thinking about the way she’d said my name.

Hopefully, one day, I won't be a prisoner anymore, and I will be able to put all this behind me. “How does it feel knowing you gambled and lost? You rejected your mate because you wanted to be Luna. Now look at you, a bloody slave and a whore. You are a perfect example of regret. You are pathetic and shameless," she said when we got to the door of the Alpha’s house. I opened it so she could walk in. I could easily take her, but the invisible chains that bound me were too tight. She walked in and looked around the place. “Alpha Tristan has good taste,” she said, admiring what was going to be her new home. She looked at me and smiled.

I also added a bonus chapter after this one ;) Here's a little preview of book 2’s blurb: Takumi had once won his Alpha’s heart but lost it in the end. When she left, he didn’t expect to see her again 3 years later and with a child. Despite his efforts at trying to get through to her, she blatantly refuses to acknowledge the bond they still have. Not to mention, he has a bit of competition. Can he win his Alpha’s heart once more or has he lost it forever?

I responded. "Are you insane?" His eyes widened. "I might be," I answered softly. Not taking me seriously, he grabbed me by the hand. "Leave, I say," his hand tightened around me. "I'm not leaving," I tried to escape his tight grip. "The alpha is evil with a heart of stone." He's dead to any emotion and will kill for the smallest thing without any mercy." He's determined to persuade me to leave. As he's telling me this, I become frozen in his hand when I see the alpha silently appearing behind us like a dark shadow.

His fingers brushed against hers, cold as the steel of winter. “Pack your things,” he said softly, almost forebodingly. “You’re coming back with me.” Ella lifted her chin defiantly. “If you believe I’ll make this easy, Alpha… you clearly don't know me.” For the first time, a flicker of light shone in Rylan’s eyes. “Good,” he responded quietly. “I detest easy.” Outside, a flash of lightning lit up the sky. The joining of a human girl and a cursed Alpha had commenced.

"I am here... to help... the Alpha." She swallowed. "He isss... in pain," she continued. "Hisss neck. Hisss... ssscars." As she took a step closer, her voice dropped to a hypnotic whisper. "Lord Abram... he told me. He said... the Alpha needs someone... strong. Someone who... isss not... afraid. Someone... who knows how... to cut... the pain... away." She smiled. A small drop of blood, dark in the gloom, hung on the corner of her pale lip.
