Alpha Creed Chapter 17 - Creed
I decided to leave the gym after my kiss with Cherie, because there was no way I would pay attention to the work out when my temptation is so close. I need to get out of here and spend the day alone in my head.So for once, I actually walk into my office, but I head straight for the liquor stand in my entertainment section. I haven’t had bourbon in a while, and the taste of the amber liquid slipping down my throat is exactly what I need right now. I don’t want to think, because I won’t be able to stop my thoughts from straying to her. Watching over the New York skyline, I bite my tongue bar and hate that I can still smell her scent on me.Hours pass, maybe - I lose sense of time standing there with my mind blank, willing it not to go think of those amber eyes.“I knew you had more of Uncle Nikolai in you,” a familiar voice comes from behind me while I’m lost in my own thoughts and I can’t help but smile and shake my head.“Fuck, the circus is in town,” I say and finish the last of my

Obviously, I didn’t listen to Rebecca because I’m back at the gym today. She kept on scowling at me, but I can’t help it if it’s grown to be my comfort. “What if you see him with that woman again? Isn’t it better that you stay away until you feel better?” she asks while we walk towards the private fighting cage - a bonus if you’re a Volkov Brand fighter. “Then I’ll ignore him and if he throws it in my face, I’ll reject him,” I say and walk inside the octagon while she closely follows behind me. “I need this, Rebecca; I can’t hide away.”I won’t mention how I need this not because I want to forget, but because fighting helps me this time of the month. If I’m exhausted enough by the time I need to go home, the full moon doesn’t bother me and neither does my heat. I’ve been conditioned to forget, to ignore my body’s wants and needs - this is no different.She bites her bottom lip but nods anyway. “Fine, but if you need help kicking his ass, I’m here. I’ll use my fairy princess magic on

His crimson eyes are blazing with fury as he pins me against the cage.“Are you doing this on purpose? Have you seen what happens when I lose my temper?” he growls. “You’re putting what’s mine on display; don’t make me kill every fucking male in this gym.”I scoff at his words. “What’s yours?! How presumptuous of you!” I exclaim, pushing that brick wall again. “I’m not yours until your mark shows I am!”Gods, what the heck is wrong with me? Why am I playing with an inferno like Creed Volkov, especially when he’s clearly close to his rut? His behavior should have told me I'm making a huge mistake, but no…it’s his grin that tells me I’m in a world of fucking trouble.He grabs both my hands and pins them above my head with only one of his. “By the look in your eyes, I know you’ve just realized your mistake, am I right?” he murmurs, before leaning his head down close to mine and claiming my lips with a vicious kiss.This one isn’t as sweet as the kiss in the boardroom, this one is filled

I sit with my elbows braced on my knees, my fingers laced together in fists in front of my mouth…while staring at my sleeping weakness.If I had to tell you today was a mistake, would you believe me? If I had to take it all back and let her walk away from me instead of pulling her back…would I? Could I honestly be the better man and swallow my pride, allowing her to reject me and move on?I should, but I am not the better man.She pushed, but I pushed back harder; she pulled and my self-restraint snapped. Now she’s engraved on my skin, embedded in my scent, and I refuse to let her go. Not when I’ve had a taste of what could be mine. No, let me rephrase that; what IS mine. I have never been possessive of anything and I am not the jealous type, but when I caught the scent of her heat and knew other males could as well… let's just say I understand why my father went complete caveman when he met my mother.Once again, I drink her in; the curve of her hips, the swell of her breasts, her t
Alpha Creed Chapter 21 - Creed
A taste - she can have every fucking part of me.“You can have anything you want, moye solntse, I told you before that you’re in control. I’m yours; use me,” I say with my voice low and she gets off the barstool only to turn me around and drop to her knees in front of me. It happens so quickly that I am momentarily stunned looking down at her in the perfect submissive pose.Lifting up my tank top, her eyes widen as she takes in the rows of tungsten dermal balls going down both sides of my v-line, then she leans forward and runs her tongue down the piercings, causing me to grab her hair and moan loudly.“You really like piercings,” she giggles before she looks up at me and strokes the bulge in my joggers, making me suck in a breath. “Don’t tell me you’re-”“No,” I chuckle at her assumption. “My cock isn’t pierced - yet.”“Yet!” she scoffs with a smile before looking back up at me with those eyes that bring me to my knees. “I never thought I’d like submitting to you, but being down her
Alpha Creed Chapter 22 - Cherie
I should feel mortified, disgusted or burning with shame over what happened between Creed and me today. But, oddly, I don’t; I actually feel comfortable around him and would 100% do it again.It’s weird how the Mate Bond makes me trust him, and how he seems to trust me as well. He’s also given me my freedom and said he would wait for me, something I never thought would be possible with such an impulsive and impatient man like Creed Volkov.Now we’re sitting in his kitchen drinking coffee as if I didn’t just have his cock down my throat.“Here,” he hands me what seems like a pill bottle. “I had Sage get it for me since he has sway over most shifter hospitals in the city.”I look at the grey unmarked bottle and shake it; when it rattles, I know my first thoughts were right. “What is this?”He draws his cup to his lips and it's the most erotic thing I’ve ever seen; damn this Bond. “It’s something to help suppress your heat, if need be, that is. I know you might not have needed it in the
Alpha Creed Chapter 23 - Cherie
After getting Rebecca calm and waiting for her to get dressed, I sit her down in the living room with a cup of chamomile tea. She checked her security feed and we noticed Sage walking into the penthouse, going into her bedroom and when he walked out he smirked and waved at the camera above her bedroom door.He planned this not caring if she’d be home or not - he didn’t give a shit if she was there or not.“This doesn’t make sense,” she says, shaking her head. “He knew the codes to my penthouse and my safe. How?! How did he know them?!”I rub her back, wishing I had the answers for her. “Let's start with what he took, okay? You mentioned a Keep?”She’s sitting with her legs tucked underneath her and nods her head in the affirmative. “I’m a princess, right? He basically stole the keys to a fortified part of my castle - the most secure. He might have found our hidden village and taken my Court, but he wouldn’t have been able to get into the Keep.”“Is there something inside the Keep he w
Alpha Creed Heart Of Stone: A Gamma's Lament Prologue
Sage: Four Years Ago Another fucking meeting that could have been a conference call. I know Creed told me to take care of business like this, but this is fucking ridiculous. I must look like I enjoy being in meetings day in and day out; either that or I’m wearing a goddamn clown suit I’m not aware of. At least this time the meeting was right in the middle of New York, but it still wasted my time. Now I’m seated in an upmarket bar where only the wealthy converge, sipping on expensive alcohol to keep up appearances. Drawing the glass of whiskey to my lips, I empty the contents and gesture to the bartender for a refill. The sting of the alcohol leaves a trail of fire down my throat, but I don’t even blink at the feeling. As pissed off as I try to feel at Creed for the unimportant meeting, it’s a futile attempt at me holding onto the person I was a few years ago. The son who doted on his family, the big brother who loved spending time with his little sister in between training and s

Rebecca As I stood before the full-length mirror in my ornate, flowing golden bridal gown, I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. Today was the day I was supposed to marry the man I had been arranged to marry to strengthen the bonds between our kind. But my heart was heavy with the knowledge that I was in love with someone else – Sage. Sage was everything the Fae Prince was not was not, and I still loved him. The Prince, Alexandr, was kind, gentle, and had a heart that overflowed with love; Sage was rough, selfish, and had a heart of ice. But ask me which one I’d gladly be with and I’ll still tell you it’s Sage Volkov. I had grown up knowing Alexandr, and over the years, we had grown close because of mutual acquaintances. We had shared our hopes and dreams, and actually made a pact to marry one day. It was a joke back then. Now, neither of us wanted this because even as we’re betrothed, we’re both in love with other people. As I looked at myself in the mirror, I could feel
Alpha Creed Heart Of Stone - Chapter 10
SageI sat alone in my dimly lit penthouse office, staring blankly at the empty space in front of me while nursing a tumbler of bourbon. The only sound that could be heard was the faint ticking of the clock on the wall, marking each passing second as if to remind me of the time that had slipped away from me.I thought admitting my feelings to her would do it. I thought being honest and open would get me the one I wanted, but it turns out all it did was push her further away.It had only been a few days since I had confessed my true feelings to Rebecca, and yet it felt like an eternity. The words had spilled out of me before I could even fully comprehend them, fueled by the overwhelming emotion that had been building up inside of me since I met her.After Uncle Kai’s death, I realized that if something were to happen to me, then I would be gone without admitting how I felt about her. That I’d be gone, and she’d still hate me. She would go on thinking I never had true feelings for her w
Alpha Creed Heart Of Stone - Chapter 9
RebeccaI’m standing in the ‘what the actual fuck’ aftermath of what I’ve just witnessed. Cherie and Creed had the most beautiful ceremony I have ever witnessed, then it was time for them to claim each other and all hell broke loose.Now I’m walking shell-shocked, back to my car, my body trembling and my heart beating painfully against my ribcage. Creed killed his father while in his Lycan form, but it looked like he wasn’t himself when he did it. I felt like I was intruding, so I didn’t get any closer to the family’s shared grief. The last week or so has been hell for me. From resettling my Court closer to New York, to my mother attempting to marry me off to the coward prince. I know that I cannot have a say in who I marry because I come from Seelie royalty, but I’ve managed to talk to another Fae I am familiar with, and settled to marry him instead.My mother isn’t talking to me at the moment because she thinks it’s a mistake, but our Court has shrunk because she only wants pureblo
Alpha Creed Heart Of Stone - Chapter 8
SageI met my mate the day I could finally feel emotions again…and yet Rebecca still has a more significant pull on me. It has led me to question if the Mate Bond is absolute or just something the Goddess has ingrained in you.After I left the estate a few days ago, I made arrangements for Rebecca and her Court to go home and now I’m on my way into town to meet Isabella, my mate. Creed’s Claiming Ceremony is in two days' time and I have something I need to discuss with him later on.Being back home with my emotions intact doesn’t feel any different, to be honest. Yeah, I can feel my parents’ love for me and I adore my little sister. But I think I’ve been dead inside for too long that I can’t be different, no matter how I try.It’s almost as if going through all that shit was for nothing.Sighing, I pull into my designated parking and walk inside the restaurant. Isabella turned out to be an established model and fashion designer, someone old Sage would have loved to have as a mate. Bu

RebeccaHeartless.How could I forget that was my nickname for him? After swallowing my pride and literally begging him to reconsider, he brushes me off like I am nothing. As if I didn’t need more proof that it was a mistake.Fucking me out of his system? Is that what he wants to call it? I doubt he treated other women the way he treated me, but then again, who am I to say that? Yes, it was a mistake. A giant, annoying mistake. “You seem pretty adamant to get your emotions back when heartlessness suits you just fine,” I say with a shrug. “Won’t having a conscience ruin your whole image?”Sage scoffs. “When you concealed the mark on my heart, did I seem different to you?”“No?” I say with a frown, only to see him smirk.“I had my emotions back then and yet I was still a cold, heartless Sage,” he says, chuckling. “I think I’ll be fine, Princess, no need to worry about me.”For the third time today, I have the fight knocked out of me and I am rendered speechless. Why do I keep thinking
Alpha Creed Heart Of Stone - Chapter 6
RebeccaI’m in my shower, staring at the tiled wall and trying to figure out if I’ve hallucinated the entire day. From sleeping with Sage to him literally worshipping my body and in the next few minutes, I’m speaking to my mother. Yeah, I definitely think I’m dreaming.From everything Sage has told me, the only reason he’s emotionless is because of the Unseelie Queen’s mark on his heart. If my mother has a spell or enchantment that can remove that, then Sage should be back to… uhm, normal, I guess?But then what happens after that? When my mother comes back, she won’t want me anywhere near Sage. When I acted nonchalant with him about our future, I was pretending because I didn’t want to face what was shoved right in front of me.Not only that, but Sage has a mate out there somewhere. I’ll always be looking over my shoulder, waiting for the day he has a Mate Bond Sighting.I’ll never be the one his Goddess chose; the other half of his soul.Argh, I shouldn’t be so negative. Who says S
Alpha Creed Heart Of Stone - Chapter 5
Sage The one thing I’ve wanted since I woke up with Rebecca missing that morning, has now happened. She has no idea how fucking beautiful she looks when she comes apart for me, how gorgeous her complete submission is. And this time she was the one who begged me to take her. She’s fast asleep in my arms; right in the middle of the morning after our first time together in years. Just being with her right now, even without the cloaking spell, I feel lighter than I ever have before. I don’t know if this is the answer to my problem, but I think I need to have a talk with her about it. She’s not my mate, I know this. But she’s the only one who makes me feel while I’m this heartless fucker, so that has to mean something, right? Even without that cloaking spell, she makes me FEEL. “Hmmm,” she groans, stirring in my arms and snuggling into my chest. “I’m dreaming, right?” “Did your dream include being thoroughly fucked?” I ask with a grin and know she’s rolling her eyes at me right now
Alpha Creed Heart Of Stone - Chapter 4
Rebecca Six days in the presence of Sir Heartless and I’m about to have a hissy fit. How long can it possibly take to find whatever it is he’s looking for? We’ve scoured the place every single day, and there’s nothing!Not only am I frustrated, but it seems as if being around me has made him cockier than before. Last night was the worst of it, he kept on pushing my buttons and making me flustered.I watch as he walks towards the front door, ready for another day of nothing. But as he picks up the SUV keys, I rush forward, turn to face him, and place my hand on his heart.“I’ve had enough of this,” I say, before reversing the cloaking spell on the Unseelie Queen’s mark. He looks up at me in horror and I scoff because I knew something was up with him after our first day together. It started with the look in his eyes, down to his mannerisms and teasing. Old Sage would never just tease for the sake of it, he'd do it to get a rise out of me.And he’d do it all with an impassive look on h
Alpha Creed Heart Of Stone - Chapter 3
SageLast night I had the same dream I had after I walked out of Volkov forest stripped of my emotions. It had the same beautiful dark-haired woman luring me back to the forest, only to fuck me senseless. She told me I belonged to her, that everything I was doing was for her and I believed her. It was the first time in years I woke up hard as a fucking rock with no relief to be found. I still don’t know who this woman is or why she says I’m hers. “So, what exactly made you so heartless?” Rebecca asks on our third day of nothing, snapping me out of my thoughts. I glance up at her as I page through a spell book. “When you say heartless, what exactly do you mean?” I know exactly what she means, but I want to hear her say it.She closes the drawer she’d been rifling through and breathes out a sigh before leaning back in the chair. “You; everything that you are. Everyone who has met you says the exact same thing. You’re cold, nonchalant, you don’t care about anyone else but yourself-”“
