Chapter 11

Ryker’s POV

The night still clings to me.

Even as I sit at this polished conference table, listening to old men drone on about numbers and expansion plans, my mind isn’t here. It’s back in that dimly lit room, tangled in silk sheets and the intoxicating scent of the woman who refuses to surrender to me.

I should have stayed away. I should have let her bathe in peace, let her convince herself she could erase me with soap and scalding water. But I couldn’t.

I had to see her.

Had to remind her.

She fights me, but her body betrays her. The way she shudders under my touch, the way her breath catches when I get too close, I see it. I feel it. And last night? She almost broke.

Almost.

I rub my jaw, suppressing the growl threatening to escape. She still defies me. Even when I kiss her, claim her, pull her into the depths of the fire we both burn in, she resists.

And it drives me insane.

My thought drift to the wedding I called off but then, I heard my name.

  • Curse of the Alpha demon   I hate him.

    Chapter 12 Serena’s POVI hate this.I hate him.But my body doesn’t.My skin still burns from his touch, my lips still tingle from his kiss, and no matter how much I tell myself to stop thinking about him, I can’t. His scent lingers on my body like a cursed brand, and worse, I crave it.I press my thighs together, trying to suffocate the heat pulsing between them, but it only makes it worse. My breathing is uneven, my fingers gripping the sheets beneath me as images of last night flood my mind — his rough hands, his mouth against my skin, the way he whispered my name like a promise and a threat.I shouldn’t feel like this. I should be thinking about revenge, about escaping this prison he calls home.But my body betrays me.My hand trembles as it lifts, almost against my will, sliding up my stomach, feeling the warmth of my own skin. A shudder runs through me. My fingers trail higher, reaching my breasts, brushing over my hardened nipple.A strangled gasp escapes me, my back arching

  • Curse of the Alpha demon   Loosing myself.

    Chapter 13 Serena’s POVI watch Alec’s retreating figure, my fists still clenched at my sides. His words pierce into my calm thought. I wonder if he could be saying the truth. Ryker seems dangerous than he looks. I take a slow breath, forcing myself to stop thinking about it. I stared back only to realized the guard are still watching. I bite my lower lips hardly and without hesitation, headed toward the exit. My feet move steadily across the marble floors, my heart pounding as I near the massive double doors leading outside. If they let me pass, maybe I can slip away. But the moment I step too close,one of them moves in front of me, blocking my path.I stop. My blood boils.I already knew this would happen, but the confirmation of it — the clear proof that I am nothing but a prisoner. — sends a deep rage through me. My nails dig into my palms as I stare at the guard, my breathing shallow. I don’t even know why I feel so furious, why my body feels like it’s begging for destruc

  • Curse of the Alpha demon   Trying to tempt me.

    Chapter 14Ryker’s POV“Drive faster,” I snarl, my voice low and edged with impatience.Jaxon grips the steering wheel tighter, obeying without question. The car speeds through the empty road, but it still feels too damn slow. My fingers drum against my thigh, tension coiling through my body like a tightened rope ready to snap.I’ve been away too long.I shouldn’t have left at all.But I had no choice. The demon inside me needed to be fed, not with food, not with blood, but with power. The ancient energy that runs through my veins isn’t meant to be contained. It craves dominance, control, submission. And when denied, it festers, making me restless, making me reckless.That’s why I left.To release some of that power before it consumed me.And now, I need to return to the one thing that keeps me grounded.Serena. The thought of her is enough to make my cock harden painfully against my pants. I picture her — the way she looked the last time I touched her, breathless, flushed, her body b

  • Curse of the Alpha demon   What if I want your brother

    Chapter 15I watch Ryker carefully, my body humming with the knowledge of what I’m about to do. He hesitates just for a moment, but it’s enough. That flicker of uncertainty tells me everything. If I force him to choose, he’ll choose Alec.But then his eyes darken, his voice a low growl.“You don’t have to make me choose,” he says, his fingers gripping my chin. “Alec is my only family… but you—” his thumb traces my lips, rough and possessive, “you complete me. Without you, there is no me.”My chest tightens at his words, but I shove the feeling away. I remember what Alec told me. If I want to escape Ryker, I have to make him believe I’ve surrendered.So I do.I move fast, pressing against him, my lips crashing onto his. My kiss is hungry, desperate, and for the first time, he hesitates.His grip tightens on my waist, pushing me back just enough to look into my eyes. “What the hell are you doing?” he breathes, his voice thick with suspicion.I tilt my head, my fingers trailing over his

    Chapter 16RYKER’S POVI feel it the moment she says his name. Alec.Rage slams into me so fast it nearly blinds me. My fingers dig into her thighs where she sits on the table, completely bare except for those thin, useless panties. My grip tightens, and she gasps — not in fear, but in daring amusement.She knows what she’s doing. She knows exactly how to push me over the edge.“You think you can make me jealous?” My lips ghost over her cheek, my breath hot against her ear. “You are mine, little hellfire. No one else touches what’s mine.”A slow, dark chuckle rumbles from my chest. Oh, little wolf, you want to play this game? Then let’s play.My hand shoots up, wrapping around her throat, and I pull her closer, forcing her to meet my eyes. Her breath hitches, her pulse hammering beneath my fingers, but she doesn’t look away.“Say his name again, and I’ll make you scream mine until you forget he even exists.”She doesn’t. Her lips part, but no sound comes out. Good.My grip on her thro

  • Curse of the Alpha demon   I want to be your bride

    Chapter 17 Serena’s POV I wake up aching. But from burning desire, it leaves me breathless, my body flushed with heat, my thighs pressed together to dull the pulsing ache between them. Last night was torture. Ryker had touched me, kissed me, left me burning then walked away like it was nothing. Like he didn’t just own every part of me, body and mind. I hate him for it. But I hate myself more for craving him. I shift under the sheets, my skin tingling, still sensitive from his touch. My nipples are stiff peaks against the fabric of my nightgown, my body betraying me in every possible way. I shouldn’t want him. I should be focused on my plan, on convincing him I’ve surrendered so he’ll let his guard down. But how am I supposed to fool him when I can’t even fool myself? I take a shaky breath, forcing myself up. The morning air is crisp against my heated skin as I slip into a robe and make my way downstairs, determined to stay in control. When I enter the dinner room,

    Chapter 18 Ryker’s POV “You’re playing a dangerous game, little hellfire,” I murmur, watching the way her throat bobs as she swallows. She doesn’t flinch. “I’m serious.” I brush my knuckles down her arm, slow, deliberate, watching for any sign of resistance. There is none. She stands perfectly still, but I don’t miss the way her breath hitches, the way her pulse quickens beneath her skin. My wolf growls in approval. “Let me guess,” I say, my voice dropping lower. “You’ve finally accepted the bond?” Her lips part slightly, is that hesitation? Then, she squares her shoulders. “Yes.” She answered. Liar. I see it in her eyes, in the stiff set of her jaw. She’s up to something. And yet I don’t care. I could call her bluff. I could demand to know what she’s plotting. But right now, the fact that she’s standing here, willingly surrendering herself to me is far more interesting. Let her play her little game. Because at the end of it, she’ll be mine anyway. I

  • Curse of the Alpha demon   Chapter 19

    Ryker’s POV The elders wrinkled their faces and twisted with disapproval. Their voices clashed as they spoke over one another, throwing accusations at Serena like daggers. “Disrespectful!” “Mannerless!” “A disgrace to the pack!” Serena stood in the center of the room, her shoulders squared, her chin high. She didn’t flinch. If anything, the fire in her eyes burned brighter with each insult. I leaned back against my chair, my arms crossed, watching. I wanted to see how she would handle them, how she would fight back. But then, what Elder Marcus said penetrate into my ear and I feel my anger growing each seconds. “You dress like a whore, parading in something meant for the bedroom!” The words re-echoed in my ear. My body went rigid. A deep growl ripped from my chest before I could stop it. The sound was low, deadly, vibrating through the room like a warning. Elder Marcus flinched but quickly masked his fear with a sneer. “Watch your tongue,” I said to him, my voice
