Alpha Cole's Inferno Ticking Bomb
Alpha Cole's P.O.V. My Beta and COO placed a sealed envelope on my table beside a pile of others with a similar colour. I needn't open it to know what it was, and neither did my beta, but he stated the obvious anyway. "Kyrian has been successfully taken out." His mean eyes were focused on mine attentively, awaiting a reaction he damn well knew he wasn't going to get. While he made himself busy attempting to do the impossible since I had practice with blanking out my expressions, he sank into the opposite seat, crossing his legs. "I didn't know you were targeting him. Thought you intended to keep him, use him as pawn." Yeah, that ship had sailed the moment he sent an assassin after Aria Smith... Aria... But I didn't say that to him, or even a word at all. I took a swig of the cigarette which graced my finger, watching the puffs waft in the air. "Go straight to the point." I said curtly. My beta's eyes narrowed briefly in disapproval at my tone, but relaxed almost immediately.

Aria's P.O.V. I stood in front of the notice board with lips thrown open in mortification. A transfer? I had suddenly been transferred to the PR division where I had neither knowledge nor skill? At first, I thought it was a prank when Genevieve sent an email asking that I vacate my office, then in the next hour the notice I was currently staring at was circulated publicly on the official boards. With colleagues I barely knew whispering behind my back. "How long did she last as Alpha Cole's P.A.? Wonder what she did wrong to get kicked out." "Or maybe it's a promotion and she fucked him to get it." "Oh please, the Alpha doesn't do his pack members and subordinates. Besides, you can see that she's not his type. He likes them mature..." My cheeks were flooded with embarrassment and my palms balled into fists as I listened to those insults hauled at me. What the fuck had I done so wrong? "You see, I warned you. Whatever you thought you had with him, Cole tires of...easy things l

An eerie silence thickened the walls in my mind. What the hell had I just done? I could see the widened look of mortification in their eyes, directed at my silly silly self. My heart pounded harder as they slowly moved from Alpha Cole to the King who exuded aura of power that made me more aware of how much I had erred. Then the beta was looking at me as if he wanted me dead this very minute. Double fucking fuck! "My...apologies, I didn't mean to..." I stopped, my heart pounding in precipitation. What was I to do? Get on my knees and apologise and perhaps slit my own throat because I was head either ways and I could simply speed up the process? "Get out." Alpha Cole's low voice emanated power and rage and disappointment. All controlled and bundled into a single package to be delivered in those two words. My hear sank, and tears brewed in my eyes. How the heck had my emotions gone from a fucking tornado to...this? I swallowed hard and muttered another apology, making to step

There was storm outside the cold dark cell, splashes of rain against the floors singing loudly in my ears, a song of mockery. Worthless... Uselessness. I was huddled in a corner of the room, my eyes shut against the deafening echo of my own mind. I deserved this. It had been raining nonstop for the three days I had been in the dungeon, the basement of the building where people were tortured and killed. I had been awaiting my sentence for those days, my own imagination throwing me into a fit of worry that was probably worse than what awaited me. Because in my mind, my Alpha made me a rogue and had me sent out of the pack. I was after all unappealing, Useless. Some chains rattled at the end of the hall, followed by a loud cry, the sound of flesh being sliced into two... And silence. Another person had been killed. My nostrils picked up the metallic scent of thick blood seconds later. I hugged myself tighter, attempting again to seek comfort in my wolf who had been silent for

"You called for me." Alpha Cole's tone was gruffy, a rough husky quality which sent shivers down my exhausted flesh. I longed to embrace him and seek comfort in the warmth of his utterly masculine body. "Yes..." I muttered softly, still clinging to the walls, my mind a shamble of confusion. What...had happened with Beta Ace? I had never experienced that surge of power within me nor seen a vision by mere physical contact. It had always been limited to my dreams. My Alpha sighed, beautiful thick fingers raking through his long hair. Now that I regarded him in close observation, he looked a bit...disheveled. My nose picked up the faint aroma of feminine body and a gasp tore through my throat, pain slamming into my chest. What the... "Rise, Aria." What right did he have to be commanding me in that arresting voice when he had obviously been balls deep into some soft willing body...? The thought reddened my cheeks, hotness spreading through my skin. And despite my anger at hi

"Your imagination must be running wild, I suppose? Typical." His voice was a low rumble to my satisfied state, and once again I was embarrassed at how easily he had read me. I fiddled with my fingers. "Sorry." I muttered. He was twirling a glass of water in his palm, that undivided attention I had craved from him sending shivers down my spine. Now that I wasn't distracted by my physical hunger, I was very much aware of another part of my body that craved him. The need to straddle him and have those lips slammed into mine hit me like a bolt. I averted my gaze, staring at the empty glass. "For what exactly, Aria?" He shouldn't say my name that way, especially not when he was reprimanding me. "Everything." My voice was barely a whisper, virtually drowned out by the rain splattering with more force than before. Alpha Cole sighed, pushing a strand of hair backwards. I clasped my fingers together as longing hit me with the force of the thunder outside. Then he asked the question I
Last Updated : 2023-01-09Alpha Cole's Inferno The Alpha's Pet
Tranquility, Serenity, Protection... I was fully rested and safe, surrounded by a scent so powerful I unconsciously reached for the source that couldn't be mistaken. But my fingers met with emptiness. My eyes snapped open, sadness washing through me as I came to the realisation that I was very alone in the huge bed. I had slept in Alpha Cole's bed. A blush tainted my cheeks as I slid down the bed, biting into my bottom lip to suppress the urge to confront all the emotions I was feeling. Embarrassed, excited, and confused. Everything from last night seemed like a blur now, but I was aware that it wouldn't be long before I faced the reality of my situation... I came face to face with a middle-aged woman as soon as I stepped out of the room. "Ms. Smith, your breakfast is ready." There was indication of the snickering look I had got used to receiving, nor did she express surprise that I had slept in Alpha Cole's bed. But then, she must be used to this scene already. Suddenly

"What the hell are you doing here?" "That vulgar language is only turning me on, sweetie. Fuck, is that a tongue piercing?" My lips clamped shut, a blush tainting my cheeks at Cage's blatant vulgarity. It was a good thing he had insisted on taking me to the office of the head of PR for privacy purposes. Which also meant that everyone was outside, assuming we were probably fucking on the table. "Don't try to change the subject. What are trying to pull? You attempted to kill me." Cage's chestnut hair shone against the reflection of the rays of the sun peeping through the open window. I wondered how the vampire part of him wasn't making his body burn. His expression changed for a moment, before he smiled and looked out of the windows. "I didn't try. If I had, you would be buried by now." A chill ran down my spine, and when I found the voice to speak, it was a stutter. "So... Why are you...here?" He cocked his head to the side, reclining into the seat which was made of plush ma

Alpha Cole's Inferno Epilogue: Celestial
One Year Later The theme tonight was celestial. Just like the baby whose lips were attached to my breasts, suckling greedily as though it were a contest. "Oh goddess! The guests are already gathered here! I thought she ate ten minutes ago!" Genevieve was having a fit, but I couldn't blame her. Planning a mating ceremony and my official inauguration as Luna was bound to drive someone crazy. Now she was glaring at the baby she always came to babysit early in the morning! Raine chuckled beside me where she was protecting the dress I had already worn from getting soiled by my milk. "The little monster won't stop eating! Are you sure she isn't a dragon? Oh shoot! The Royal entourage has arrived!" I exchanged glances with Raine and we both laughed inwardly, none of us daring to speak to the crazy planner. Tonight, she wasn't our sweet Ms. Genevieve. "Hey! If that little monster ruins the dress that cost a whole building, I will abduct and send her back to the moon goddess!" Rig
Alpha Cole's Inferno Closure
Being pregnant had been my dream, But if I thought my Alpha was protective before, then I had something else coming for me now. "Oh no, baby, this is too dangerous for your health. Horse riding, swimming, dancing..." "Do you have to go to the office today? I just had a little talk with the general director and you can work from home... You can also..." Okay, I loved my mate, but this was absolutely driving me crazy! And oh dear, he wasn't the only one who had been driving me insane over the past few weeks. My best friend, Raine, had been following me around with that mischievous grin on her face ever since Alpha Cole marked me. "I can't believe you guys were totally fucking when security found you! Were you at least dressed at all? Oh shoot! But wait, do I have to address you as Luna now?" "Let's go shopping for baby clothes. I can't wait to be a godmother, I will spoil this little munchy munchy cute baby wolf." Then they all proceeded to touch my stomach, which was still
Alpha Cole's Inferno Marked
Warning: Beast/human form sexual relations'I fucking asked you to run. Hide, little wolf.' He communicated to me again, his voice deeper, his aura more chilling.But hell, his wolf was damn beautiful.Huge and gigantic with grey and black furs complementing dark hazel eyes.His prance was all predatorial, like a dark dangerous panther charging towards me.'Get the fuck away from here, Aria!' The growl was angrier now, more intimidating, spreading those high Alpha pheromones that threatened to make me dizzy and sleep...Oh, this was what had knocked the security out.He was spreading it higher and higher as he got closer to me, looking more enraged and dangerous.But he had called me by my name.He wiggled his tail and lifted his arrogant head, howling in a loud piercing manner and spreading more of those pheromones..."Stop!"He halted immediately, both of us surprised and in shock.I had...shouted at him, and he...listened?But hell, judging by his expression, he wasn't sharing my
Alpha Cole's Inferno Wolf
The blue waters from the sea were tainted with thick blood,Red and blue mingling under the brightness of the full moon.And when I fell into the water, my own blood spreading and sinking with me,I felt a glow on my skin, as though the moon and I had become one.My eyes were fluttering shut, my fingers uselessly fumbling over my stomach.It was too late, that sword had pierced into the depths of my flesh and taken... our pup.I shut my eyes completely, willing the tears to join the other liquid, the blood of all the massacred flesh calling to the moon goddess.I was dying, drowning, withering, but a firm hand clasped tightly to mine, and a voice as familiar as my own skin whispered my name,Aria.My eyes snapped open to beeps from all directions sounding in my ears, white colours threatening to blind me.The walls and high technological medical equipment were all white, coupled with the doctors and nurses dressed in their white uniforms who were hovering over me.Then one of them fla
Alpha Cole's Inferno Fate
"This is the military in collaboration with the Royal council of warriors, release the hostage or we open fire!" A loud voice rang out over the air.But a low demonic chuckle tore from Cage's lips. "How about this, you move an inch, and the hostage dies." And to emphasise what he meant, he pushed me into the deck and followed, his palm wrapped around my throat.My heart was racing as I stood in the middle of the sea, a tear escaping my eyes the moment I caught sight of Alpha Cole, standing at the deck of the ship closest to us.The full moon shone its rays on him, his disheveled appearance making my heart beat fast.I wanted to cry at how much I had missed him, how relieved I was to see him even if it was going to be for the last time.He had come to rescue me, but all those assailants suddenly appeared from nowhere, their ships surrounding Alpha Cole's crew.Then Nathan laughed, throwing back his head as he joined us on the deck."Oh fuck! I'm enjoying this."I stared at my Alpha w
Alpha Cole's Inferno Counter Plans
AriaI was pregnant, with Alpha Cole's kid.My fingers had been on my stomach for the past few hours after Cage delivered that news, mixed emotions surging inside me.It seemed surreal and too good to be true, but on the other hand, what would be the fate of this pup when I had just written off a farewell note to my Alpha?Goddess,Nathan hadn't disguised any of the rage he felt for me, and when he wasn't smoking and cursing me and Alpha Cole, he dragged me by the hair and slapped me, calling me a slut.I had cried and wished to turn back time, to return to that time at the party and stop Alpha Cole from walking away.Now he probably believed I had jilted him for Nathan and he may never learn of the existence of this life we had created.I rubbed my stomach gently, resting my face against the cold walls the repugnant smell of smoke and drugs making me lightheaded.I was pregnant, yet tears were still trickling down my cheeks, the drops of liquid wetting the floors."Hey bitch, you gon
Alpha Cole's Inferno Uncontrollable
Cole"Alpha, this is dangerous. You've already had more dosage than..."Colours flashed in my head, and I was moving swiftly and wrapping my fingers against my beta's throat."Keep. Your. Opinions. In. Your. Ass." I could feel my muscles rippling from my arms, the veins and tendons threatening to make me snap, the heightened adrenaline pumping in my blood.But I didn't give a fuck.It was all my fault. If only I hadn't walked away, if I had controlled the irrational jealousy I had started to feel, Aria wouldn't have been gone by now."Okay, okay. I'll call the nurse." My beta muttered, his veins popping out from the force of my fingers on him.When I was sure that my message had been well received, I released my hold on him and moved back, aware of the trembling of my own hands, the way my entire body was out of control.I hadn't slept a wink for the three nights she had suddenly gone missing, and I had been an ass to everyone around me, fed up with the incompetency of my security.
Alpha Cole's Inferno Nightmare
In that dreaded vision of my worst nightmare, my own body was found, massacred, and dead, But I wasn't the only one who died in that dream, but the life which had been forming in my womb, And my Alpha.It was the recurrent dream I'd had that night, the second one that had driven me to finally driven me to open up to Alpha Cole about what I had seen when he was shot.In the memory of the assailant I had touched, Alpha Cole was running towards me with a gun to protect me, but it was already too late,Because I was already shot at that moment by a masked man, and as I fell on my knees, blood seeping from my body, a long sword was driven into my stomach,Then bullets from all directions made holes in my Alpha's flesh, his blood spilling on my immobile body.And with our last breaths, we called each other's names.***My head hurt, a familiar scent infiltrated through the room, and I felt boneless and exhausted as I tried to adjust my eyes to my environment.Through my blurry vision, I c
Alpha Cole's Inferno Grand Entrance
One Month Later"It's a custom made dress, took us close to two weeks to make it, but as the Alpha said, he of course wants only the best for Aria.""Guys! That's nothing at all, do you know that the general kitchen had been commissioned to be demolished and rebuilt just because Aria may be traumatised to see it?""Or is it the way Alpha Cole ignores everybody as soon as sweet Aria comes in?" Oh dear, I face palmed myself as I listened to my best friend and Genevieve converse about me as if I wasn't there.But the makeup artist wasn't going to have it."Please, I need this to be perfect.""Or someone will have your head!" Of course it was no one else other than. Raine, and she and Genevieve laughed loudly, making fun at my expense.It had been this way for the past one month, the evil witches made comments about me and Alpha Cole,And no matter how many times I pretended to be pissed off, the little devils didn't stop.I gave them the middle finger, my cheeks flaming red.Genevieve l
