#Book One of the Alpha Series Her face flushed with anger, and she stood up, her eyes flashing. "You think I'm afraid of you, Alpha? Newsflash: I'm not. And I certainly don't want to be married to a rude, arrogant person like you." My eyes widened in surprise, my mind racing. No one dared speak to me like that, especially not a female. I felt a growl rising in my throat, but I forced it back. ••• Alpha Sage Mickelson, a ruthless 27-year-old Billionaire, has closed off his heart after a painful betrayal by his ex-mate. Arranged to marry Lyra Skye, a bullheaded and beautiful Enigma, Sage seeks revenge while making sure he makes Lyra’s life a living hell for accepting the alignment. But as secrets unfold, their relationship threatens to destroy everything. Will Lyra melt Sage's icy heart, or will his thirst for revenge consume them both?
View MoreLYRA. I winced in pain as my eyes split open feeling my body all sore and numb. The room is extremely seen that I can barely see clearly as I roam my stare around trying to figure out where exactly I am yet to no avail. I bit on my lower lip feeling a sharp pain in my leg, struggling to sit up with thirst burning in my throat. 'Finally, you're awake' Nyx growled. My brows furrowed to as what she meant before memories of what had happened occurred to me making my eyes widen both in fear and in pain. The image of how the rogue had his burning stare on me sent shivers down my spine. But then who saved me? I can clearly remember a wolf standing in for me before I fell unconscious and where the hell am I? I looked around wanting to familiarize myself with the environment but I wasn't picking up anything. "Lyra" I hear Sage's mum call out from the opposite end walking towards me with concern and a wide smile. She sat next to me pulling me in for a hug, "I'm so
SAGE. "She's healing" Mum states snapping me out of my train of thoughts. I drew my stare away from Lyra moving them to my mother who has concern and as much worry as I am in her eyes. She offered a hand, "Walk with me" she ushers. I was a bit skeptical and Mum had noticed that. It's been a week since Lyra's attack and I've been a bit too overprotective on who walks in and out of the room. Mum smiled, "Don't worry, this house is guarded by top-notch pack members and securities you have nothing to worry about" she stated trying to sound convincing. Kato growled as much protective as I am. I nod letting out a breath and walking out with her. We walked out to the garden taking slow steps in a comfortable silence which I wished would go on as right now I want anything but to talk. "Lyra is going to be okay. She has healing abilities as you can see she must have not mastered them yet, that's why it's taking a little bit too long but she's going to be okay" She adds up
LYRA I walked into the office building, my heart racing as different thoughts wandered through my head. I had been preparing for this moment, and finally, I was here, about to interview for the role of personal assistant to the CEO of Bricks and Hammers I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves, and stepped into the elevator. As I entered the office, I was greeted by a stern-looking receptionist who pointed me to the CEO's office. I walked in, and there he was, sitting behind his massive desk, his face a picture of seriousness. "Miss Skye," he said, his voice firm but a little bit polite. "Please, take a seat." I sat down, trying to make myself comfortable, but my heart was still racing. "So, tell me, why do you think you're the best fit for this role?" he asked, his eyes piercing through me. "I believe my organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to multitask make me an ideal candidate," I replied, trying to sound confident. "And how would you handl
SAGE. It's been one week since we got back from the goddamn trip and it's been one hell of a torture. We both haven't said a thing about what had happened that night and I don't know what's going on on her side but mine, I'm finding it quite difficult to maintain my sanity when I'm around her. Her smell alone makes me hard. The desire to bury me deep within he and get her out of my system burned through me. Every single day, I want her more than I want her the next day. The taste of her lips was still fresh in my mind, their tenderness as they moaned out my name while I drove her to her orgasm was like music to my ears. Lyra was making me lose my mind. That night I had to refrain every blood in my fiber from taking her hard as I could not just feel the same way but Kato. Kato never fails to growl at the sight of her. I've been doing a great job by avoiding her but it's starting to get hard especially since we live in the same house and must share the same bed. Seeing her
LYRA He bit on my lower lip seeking entrance which was offered by a moan that escaped my lips. My legs felt wobbly as he kissed me harder as though I was his only salvation. He must have sensed my discomfort so he picked me up while I encircled my legs around his waist. Just in time, the elevator dinged making us screw back into position before the door completely slides open. An aged woman with a young one helping her by her side came into view as the door completely slammed open. The girl must have noticed what was going on due to the weird stares she shot both of me and Sage. Heat rises my cheeks watching Sage walk out with me tailing behind him like a lost puppy. I walked my heart hammering with each step I took to get closer to the room. I don't exactly know what was going on between us but it wasn't right, as much as we hated each other's guts then whatever game it was we were playing, it needed to stop. I watched Sage disappear into the room while I stood inches away f
LYRAI sat alone at the bar, gulping my beer and feeling like a stranger that I was.. The gala event was in full swing, with laughter and music filling the air, but I couldn't shake the feeling of not belonging. No matter how elegantly dressed I was, I knew I didn't measure up.I glanced around the room, searching for a familiar face, but Sage was nowhere to be found. He was probably off schmoozing with his business partners, leaving me to fend for myself. Again. I wasn't surprised. I knew how this game was played.Not that I cared. He had strictly warned me to not try anything funny and to lay low for as long as we were going to be here.The incident in the car still made me wince in embarrassment while gulping my seventh cup of alcohol. I can count the number of times I have had alcohol, let’s just we don’t work well together. But tonight I felt like I needed this to clear my mind on what has been going on lately.I took another sip of my beer, feeling the alcohol coursing through
LYRA It's been two days since we argued that night I returned after the most unfortunate event had happened that led me to seek sanity. Sage still doesn't get the fact that no matter how much he tries to show his dominance I still don't consider him my Alpha. He had asked who I was with and I'm sure cause he sniffed the scent of another from me, must be why. He called me a slut and an undeserving person, the most insulting words you could ever think of it was hurtful but I manage to ignore him and not let his words get to me must be why he choose to stay away from me. In the morning when I woke up, I woke up to an empty room, and ever since I haven't set my eyes on him. Screw him, for all I care. A knock on my door has me snapped out of my train of thought compelling me to leave the couch I got so comfortable in and walking towards it. Sliding the door open I came into view with one of the hotel attendants holding a box. "Delivery for Mrs Mickleson," he says with a smile pla
LYRA I stormed out of the hotel room, my heart racing and my eyes brimming with tears. I couldn't bear to be in the same space as Sage right now. What had just happened had left me feeling embarrassed, hurt, and utterly frustrated. I was still turned on but the anger I felt surged within me. How could I be so stupid enough to let him cross his limits? I burst through the door and out into the cool night air, taking a deep breath as I strode away from the hotel. I didn't know where I was going, I just needed to get away. I needed to clear my head and get the embarrassment I felt out of my system. I had let him see the weak side of me, and I knew for sure he wouldn’t let me breathe after what had just happened. The city streets were bustling with people, but I barely noticed. I bit on my lower lip trying to fight back the tears. I wasn’t going to let him get to me. I was lost in my thoughts, replaying the way he made me feel. I have never been so much in contact with a man
SAGE I could still feel her heart racing as she walked out, a smirk drawing its way to my lips satisfactory. I will make sure I create fear and obedience in her heart to the extent she shivers at the mention of my name. There is something about Lyra that riles me up which I can’t seem to point it. For some reason which I’m yet to discover, I still don’t trust her, and I don’t think I’ll be able to do that. I growled drawing my stare to the wall clock, I was already getting late for work. I had a business trip to attend to in Rome with a little touch of Alpha duties. I know I’m not able to travel alone, if I had to go, then it must be with Lyra. It’s the conversation I just ended with Mum before walking into the room and meeting with her irking self. To think she’d get on my good side by offering a cup of whatever she had brought with, her was stupid. I didn’t want to go with Lyra. I wanted to use this trip as an opportunity to escape from the reality of being married to
