Chasing Scarlett: A Breeder Romance 7. The Oracle I
Everything hurts.Again and again, I put one foot in front of the other, following Adeline and a set of maids whose eyes are glued to the floor. Several times, I’ve had to refrain from tripping on my gown and theirs as we descent the never-ending staircases. I should still be confined to my room, but Adeline thought it’d be nice if I got some air.Especially after last night.While everything that occurred before I passed out has been imprinted upon my brain, I can’t seem to force myself to remember what might have transpired after. If the princes slept in my bed, what the hell that pain was, and if, in fact, I’d truly seen the claws on my fingertips before passing out. I’d awoken naked, feet and nails covered in mud, and Adeline kept smiling from ear to ear as she brushed out leaves from my hair.I have yet to let myself think of last night and what might have happened. In all honesty, the only reason I got out of bed despite the pain is because I might have a chance of escaping toda

Red eyes flick to mine and the second lifts his head, wiping black blood from his lips. A hint of a smile curves his mouth, and though his fingers are flicking over the woman’s nipples, I feel them on mine. Pinching, taunting, and a moan slips from my throat. His tongue caresses his blackened fangs, cleaning them, and I’d right about die to let him sink them in my neck.“Scarlett,” Adeline seems to call me, but her voice is far away, and the music, this beautiful creature is here, beckoning to me. I laugh, gleefully, even if nothing’s funny. I want to dance. I want to run. I want to…scream, and laugh…and…fuck.Leaving, is the last thing I want. There, in the middle of those deadly, beautiful creatures, is where I want to be. I tell Adeline that, but she begins pulling me in the opposite direction.“Leave me alone!” I yell, frustrated, and push her.She flies back, knocking a man over, and the ruckus that ensues gives me enough time to run towards the group, moth to red, angry flames.

A third Pov.A human girl had stolen the crown from underneath their noses and vanished. Avallen was in an uproar like never before and after several months of searching for her to no avail, they began searching for other solutions, fighting each other; killing each other.For two years, Riordan searched for Scarlett, but he couldn't find the woman. Lorcan upturned every stone, and he couldn't locate the puny human. Cillian called in favors in the human world, detectives, police departments, trackers, but she was off their radar. Tiarnan, who had never taken anything as seriously in his entire life, kept his eyes on Scarlett's ex-husband, her best friend and father, knowing she would show up eventually. She had to.But Scarlett never turned up.*********Scarlett"Shut the hell up!" I yell and shove the glistening ornament into a wooden box and I turn the lock twice, even if I know it is fruitless. It never stops talking. It talks to me everywhere, even if I am miles away from it. I h

Two years doesn’t dull the pain of seeing your ex-husband and ex-best friend at your father’s funeral with two children. Two, healthy human children with rosy cheeks and beautiful smiles. Isabel walks up to me, her black dress flowing behind her and I’m glad she doesn’t bother with the pretense of grief. She never liked my father.“Scarlett,” she says, matter-of-factedly. “I am deeply sorry for your loss.”Cameras flash, and I merely stare outside, at the absurd amount of flowers by the corner of the door. If only they knew how much father detested flowers in his house. When I don’t respond, she speaks again, “I’ve been trying to…reach out to you for a time. You just disappeared. I wanted to—”“Apologize for trying to kill me?” I angle my head in her direction. Something flickers in her hazel eyes as she watches me and she seems to hold the infant in her hands tighter. “Apologize for fucking my husband and stealing my life?”“Xan was never—”“Mine?” I stare behind her and I see Alexa

My body jerks and I instinctively reach for the pistol in the back of my pocket, but I am stopped by the fingers catch my wrist with shocking speed and I am shoved forward, my torso pressed against the counter with bruising force. “I don’t think so, wild cat.”I try to twist my head to get a glimpse of the bastard but his vise-like grip only tightens and if I move even a little, my arm will fucking dislocate from its socket. Cursing under my breath, I hold still.“Good girl,” he says in a deep voice that appeals to all six senses of mine, erotically. All of them have that effect. All the vile creatures of Avallen. They speak to you and the first thing you think of is having sex with them. Even if I am appalled and angry, my body begins to grow hot at the feel of his breath against the shell of my ear. “Friend of yours? She looks delicious.”My gaze jerks up to find Grace who’s making her way over to us, worry glinting in her eyes. My heart slows. “No,” I breathe. “I don’t know her.”I

“No,” I hiss, snatching my shirt off the floor and I pull it over my head angrily. “I don’t care whatever bullshit deal you have for me. How dare you walk into my home, charm me out of my clothes and still think I’d be stupid enough to even want to hear the lies you sputter with your stupid golden tongue?”I’m forcing my feet back into my pants, and I think I’ve got it the wrong way, but I don’t dare take my eyes off him. I don’t know how I failed to recognize him. I saw him at the revelry. Funeral. Whichever. And just like the others, he was hellbent on catching me. Over the years, he’d sent his men to come find me. They didn’t live to tell.Eyeing him, I wonder how many times I’ll have to shoot him to kill him. Admittedly, none of his cronies ever had wings. And none of them looked like…that. It’s why I know he’s more dangerous. The less hideous, the more sneaky, cunning.Lord Fionn cocks his head at me, watching me watch him as I make a fool of myself, putting both legs into one pa

Making Chase Enterprises sink under after I helped lift it to the height it has reached would be counterintuitive. A hostile takeover is my new plan, but Fen doesn’t agree. Flipping the pages, I bite on my bottom lip, tasting the red lipstick it is coated in. It is a truck ton of money, buying back those shares.Ugh. I raise my gaze to his. “And who would you suggest?”He pushes a file across the table and my nostrils crinkle at the name. “Really? We both know Ravenna wants only one thing from me. A permanent alliance. He’ll never agree to become a partner unless I wear his stupid ancestral ring.”Fen shrugs. “He’s waited two years and I don’t see any other suitor hanging around, waiting for your childish tantrum to end.”My jaw clenches and I push back the file. “I’m not get remarried a

RiordanI smile when I’m nervous. I’m never nervous. She makes me nervous.She pokes into the eggs with a fork, not quite eating and pushing it around her plate. Her blue gaze is trained on me with distrust and I see her trying to figure out what the fuck I’m doing in her apartment. It isn’t hard to read her thoughts when she wears them on her face.“You should eat,” I say, breaking the silence. “You’re leaner.”The fork clangs loudly as she drops it in the plate and folds her arms, pushing up those damn breasts my fingers long to fondle. “What do you want?”Begrudgingly, I raise my gaze from her hard nipples peeking through the wet, black dress. “We both know the answer to that question.” Her full mouth parts and I raise a single finger, stopping her from coming to one of those conclusions that might earn me a bullet to the head—if the rumors about how many of my people she has killed in the last three day since she has returned is true. “But, I’m here for an entirely different reaso

Chasing Scarlett: A Breeder Romance 21. Hospital II
My heels click impatiently on the marble as I fume silently, waiting at Scotty’s Café with a barely touched cup of black coffee. It’s not my usual style, but it’s busy enough to quench my fear of getting jumped. Under the table, my fingers dig into my thigh, shaping crescents into my skin. Agitation and frustration are my only companions as I recall the conversation I had with the doctor and a hateful Isabel before I left the hospital. “It would do him good if you stayed, Ms. Montogomery. It’d speed up his recovery,” Dr. Ian says, his fingers running along the stethoscope hanging off his neck. Retrograde Amnesia, that’s what the doctor thinks Alexander has, caused by the trauma of the accident. Even he doesn’t believe that as he says it to me. A more feasible explanation would be that somebody ‘wiped’ Alexander’s memory, up to the point where we were newlyweds—if such sorcery existed. Unfortunately, it does, and that knowledge makes me cold to my bones.
Chasing Scarlett: A Breeder Romance 20. Hospital
“Where were you between eleven pm last night and six am this morning, Ms. Montogomery?” the detective asks, tapping his chin with his pen. My fingers tap into the glass table, anxiety tightening my chest. Je vas bien. “Home.” Because the truth would be much harder to say. “If there’s nothing else, I would very much like to return to my meeting, Detective.” Skeptical blue eyes meet mine. “You were observed on surveillance leaving at fifteen minutes past three in a red Aston Martin, with an unidentifiable man.” He folds his arms and leans back in my chair like he has no where else to be. “I'd urge you to be forthcoming, miss, as lying will only complicate matters. Now, can you provide information on the identity of the man, his contact details, or his place of residence.” Well, shoot. I smile diplomatically. “I could’ve gone on a joyride with my boyfriend for all you know. There’s no proof I did any such thing. Plus, you must not be very
Chasing Scarlett: A Breeder Romance 19. The Hot Drive Home
Scarlett We’re near the house when Riordan speaks again. “Friday.”“What?”He kills the engine by the gates and turns to me. “There are five days left in this month. I’ll have the last three. Clear your schedule.”I stare at him, baffled. “You can’t just spring things like that on me. I have important meetings on—”“You agreed to our bargain—”“Right,” I snap. “Your wards couldn’t even stop Lorcan. How the hell am I sure it’ll keep other things out? You’ve done nothing on your end and you can’t hold me up to mine.”His jaw ticks and I have barely enough time to respond when he palms my waist and lifts me out of my seat effortlessy. He places me in his lap and keeps me there with unbelievably strong hands, forcing me to straddle him. “I presume that means I don’t have to keep to my own end of the agreement when it comes to not touching you.”“Rior—”He clasps his fingers on the nape of my neck harshly and tugs me forward. His lips meet mine with a crash and he angles my head so thorou
Chasing Scarlett: A Breeder Romance 18. Cillian's Pov
CillianNo woman walks into our dungeon and leaves without getting fucked. Imagine my surprise, wrapped around the hottest, tightest cunt I’ve had in a while and my brother flies across the room, shattering the full-proof glass walls, and my—our mate walks away angrily, her ass tight in that leather dress. Absolutely not.It takes half a thought to shove my dick back in my pants and block the door before she can leave. Her blue eyes are stormy with anger, hate and desire as she meets my gaze. “Move.”Ah. That fucking accent. It messes with me, goes all the way to my groin.“You can’t leave,” I tell her truthfully, even if I’m not a very honest man. “It’s against the rules. You step in here and you give something in turn before you leave. So, which of us is it going to be?”Her eyes burn, bleeding from blue to black and it is all the warning I get before she grips my collar and smashes my back into the wall. My spine shudders and I blink, not from the pain cramping my muscles, but out
Chasing Scarlett: A Breeder Romance 17. Clubbing
Scarlett“Really?” I yell over the blasting music, gripping Lorcan’s fingers tightly as he leads me through the throng. It’s a club, but it is way more than that. I’d been surprised enough at its location—a shady street downtown and a building that looked abandoned and decrepit from the outside. Only…the inside is…well…I swallow for the third time in the past minute.Eyes follow me as I walk through. Humans, lycans, wolves and if I’m not mistaken, I sight a couple of wings behind the tall pillars. The iridescent lights make it hard to tell the eye colors in here but I’m pretty sure there are vampires too.They’re feeding and fucking and dancing. Much like everyone else in this depraved place. “Why on earth would you bring me here?” I whisper, even if I’m sure they can all hear me, judging by the glances I get. "You might as well announce to the entirety of Avallen that I'm back in Ohio!"“You’re safe within these walls. None of them will touch you. They know better th
Chasing Scarlett: A Breeder Romance 16. Lorcan's Visit
Scarlett It’s a nightmare. One I’ve had nearly every night for several months since I first shifted and it always ends the same way. With death. Not mine. His. I don’t mean to kill him, but somehow, every time, I end up tearing out his throat with my teeth that grow too large to contain my mouth.And his iridescent eyes lose life, his golden hair drenched in his blood. I don’t know who he is, but his lips remind me of Riordan’s. His nose is Lorcan’s. His hair is Tiarnan’s. And the strong set to his brutally chiseled jaw is Cillian’s.I wake up panting, and in that same moment, the skin on my neck tingles with familiar heat and I instinctively reach under my pillow for a weapon as I jerk up from where I’m tangled up with the sheets.“Have you always been this unsettled?” a voice drawls ahead of me and my head snaps to the windowsill where a figure is perched comfortably. I’ve never been more grateful that I sleep with the lights on, because I’d ha
Chasing Scarlett: A Breeder Romance 15. Lorcan's POV
Lorcan My fingers grasp the woman’s hair tightly as her tongue swirls over my throbbing head. My eyes shut and irritation flares to life inside me. I groan, standing and pulling out of her hot, wet mouth. Her big blue eyes water. “Have I displeased you, my prince?” I grit my teeth, shoving my cock back in my pants. “I’d prefer you not suck my dick like you’re scared of hurting me.” I grip her chin roughly and squeeze, letting my eyes roam over her ample breasts and the curling hair between her thighs, slick with cum. “Perhaps, another time.” She nods, a tear slipping down her cheek, and stands from where she kneels by my feet. I watch her walk out, her ass jiggling, inciting my lust further. The door opens before she reaches it and I sigh when Mael walks in, turning to whistle at her with a shit-eating grin curving his mouth. “Since when did your blonde fetish die?” Since my brother got us mated to a dark-haired wo
